      Bin Laden's nuclear threat

      BY PHILIP WEBSTER AND ROLAND WATSON

      OSAMA BIN LADEN and his al-Qaeda network have acquired nuclear materials for
      possible use in their terrorism war against the West, intelligence sources have
      disclosed.
      The Western sources say that the suspected mastermind of the September 11
      attacks on America does not have the capability to mount a nuclear attack but
      fear he would do so if he could.

      They believe that he obtained the materials illegally from Pakistan, which has
      a nuclear capability.

      The knowledge that bin Laden has components for a nuclear weapons device in his
      arsenal is believed to lie behind the regular warnings from President Bush and
      Tony Blair that he would commit worse atrocities than the suicide assaults on
      New York and Washington if he were able to.

      They may also explain the speed with which the decision was taken to go after
      bin Laden and his terrorist network, even if that meant toppling the Taleban
      regime in Afghanistan first.

      The disclosure comes as MPs prepare to learn today the details of British
      troops earmarked for deployment to Afghanistan. They will include a commando
      group of about 1,000 Royal Marines, currently on exercise in Oman, as well as a
      large contingent of special forces and specialist support units. The force will
      be based on ships that have also been participating in the huge tri-Service
      exercise. They are expected to include the aircraft carrier HMS Illustrious,
      stripped of her Harrier jets so she can be used as a platform for helicopters,
      or HMS Ocean, a dedicated helicopter carrier, two anti-aircraft destroyers to
      protect the carrier, the assault ship HMS Fearless, and two Royal Fleet
      Auxiliary support vessels.

      Yesterday Mr Blair sought to reassure Muslim leaders that the military action
      in Afghanistan should be over as quickly as possible. He told the Islamic
      Response to Terrorism Conference in North London: “I hope you understand that
      what is important is that we make sure at the same time we take the action
      necessary now in order to hold to account those who committed the actions of
      September 11.”

      There has been clear evidence for several years that bin Laden’s agents have
      been trying to buy, steal or smuggle nuclear systems in order to attack the
      West. He has said that it was his “religious duty” to seek to acquire chemical,
      biological and nuclear weapons of mass destruction.

      An informed source has told The Times that bin Laden appeared to have amassed
      a “terrifying” range of weapons although he was insistent that he did not have
      the capacity to launch a nuclear attack.

      Intelligence sources, however, have voiced concerns about bin Laden obtaining
      radioactive material for a “dirty bomb”. Rather than being used in an atomic
      weapon, the material would be dispersed in a way that would seriously
      contaminate a small area. In an urban environment hundreds of people could die
      and thousands more be exposed to radiation poisoning.

      In 1993 a senior bin Laden operative, Jamal al-Fadi, met a Sudanese military
      commander in Khartoum to try to negotiate the sale of a cylinder of enriched
      South African uranium for a black market price of $1.5 million (£1.2 million).
      A separate al-Qaeda attempt to buy weapons-grade nuclear material through the
      Russian mafia was foiled in Prague when several kilograms of highly enriched
      uranium were seized, according to a German TV report last week.

      Earlier this week two former government nuclear scientists in Pakistan were
      detained amid fears about their links with the Taleban. Bashir uddin Mahmood
      was project director in Pakistan’s nuclear programme before its 1998 tests.
      Since retiring from the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission three years ago, he
      ran a group which carried out relief work in Afghanistan, and was known to be
      supportive of the Taleban. Chaudry Abdul Majid was a director of the commission
      in 1999.

      Intelligence officials have long been aware of the potential for contraband
      uranium to be turned into an atomic “suitcase bomb”. An easier outcome is a
      radiological weapon — a conventional weapon with a radioactive core — which has
      the ability to contaminate large areas.

      George Tenet, Director of the CIA, told the Senate Intelligence Committee last
      year that bin Laden was trying to obtain nuclear materials.

      However, some are convinced bin Laden already has a nuclear capability.
      According to a book about the terrorist leader, The Man Who Declared War on
      America, Chechen rebels facilitated the sale of nuclear suitcase bombs in the
      late 1990s from a range of former Soviet republics including Ukraine,
      Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Russia.

      Quoting Russian and Arab intelligence sources, the author, Yossef Bodansky,
      says that bin Laden’s go-betweens paid the Chechens $30 million in cash and
      gave them two tonnes of heroin with a Western street value of up to $700
      million for a number of bombs.

      In 1998 bin Laden issued a statement entitled “The Nuclear Bomb of Islam”,
      which said: “It is the duty of Muslims to prepare as much force as possible to
      terrorise the enemies of God.”

      Unlimited reproduction and distribution is authorized. Just
      give me credit for my work, and, keep in context.

      Subject: "Real" Deal about Nuclear, Bio, and Chem Attacks

      Since the media has decided to scare everyone with predictions of chemical,
      biological, or nuclear warfare on our turf I decided to write a paper and keep
      things in their proper perspective. I am a retired military weapons,
      munitions, and training expert.

      Lesson number one: In the mid 1990's there were a series of nerve gas attacks
      on crowded Japanese subway stations. Given perfect conditions for an attack
      less than 10% of the people there were injured (the injured were better in a
      few hours) and only one percent of the injured died. 60 Minutes once had a
      fellow telling us that one drop of nerve gas could kill a thousand people, well
      he didn't tell you the thousand dead people per drop was theoretical. Drill
      Sergeants exaggerate how terrible this stuff was to keep the recruits awake in
      class (I know this because I was a Drill Sergeant too). Forget everything
      you've ever seen on TV, in the movies, or read in a novel about this stuff, it
      was all a lie (read this sentence again out loud!). These weapons are about
      terror, if you remain calm, you will probably not die. This is far less scary
      than the media and their "Experts," make it sound.

      Chemical weapons are categorized as Nerve, Blood, Blister, and Incapacitating
      agents Contrary to the hype of reporters and politicians they are not weapons
      of mass destruction they are "Area denial," and terror weapons that don't
      destroy anything. When you leave the area you almost always leave the risk.
      That's the difference; you can leave the area and the risk; soldiers may have
      to stay put and sit through it and that's why they need all that spiffy gear.

      These are not gasses, they are vapors and/or air borne particles. The agent
      must be delivered in sufficient quantity to kill/injure, and that defines
      when/how it's used. Every day we have a morning and evening inversion
      where "stuff," suspended in the air gets pushed down. This inversion is why
      allergies (pollen) and air pollution are worst at these times of the day. So, a
      chemical attack will have it's best effect an hour of so either side of
      sunrise/sunset. Also, being vapors and airborne particles they are heavier than
      air so they will seek low places like ditches, basements and underground
      garages. This stuff won't work when it's freezing, it doesn't last when it's
      hot, and wind spreads it too thin too fast. They've got to get this stuff on
      you, or, get you to inhale it for it to work. They also have to get the
      concentration of chemicals high enough to kill or wound you. Too little and
      it's nothing, too much and it's wasted. What I hope you've gathered by this
      point is that a chemical weapons attack that kills a lot of people is
      incredibly hard to do with military grade agents and equipment so you can
      imagine how hard it will be for terrorists. The more you know about this stuff
      the more you realize how hard it is to use.

      We'll start by talking about nerve agents. You have these in your house, plain
      old bug killer (like Raid) is nerve agent. All nerve agents work the same way;
      they are cholinesterase inhibitors that mess up the signals your nervous system
      uses to make your body function. It can harm you if you get it on your skin
      but it works best if they can get you to inhale it. If you don't die in the
      first minute and you can leave the area you're probably gonna live. The
      military's antidote for all nerve agents is atropine and pralidoxime chloride.
      Neither one of these does anything to cure the nerve agent, they send your body
      into overdrive to keep you alive for five minutes, after that the agent is used
      up. Your best protection is fresh air and staying calm. Listed below are the
      symptoms for nerve agent poisoning. Sudden headache, Dimness of vision (someone
      you're looking at will have pinpointed pupils), Runny nose, Excessive saliva or
      drooling, Difficulty breathing, Tightness in chest, Nausea, Stomach cramps,
      Twitching of exposed skin where a liquid just got on you.

      If you are in public and you start experiencing these symptoms, first ask
      yourself, did anything out of the ordinary just happen, a loud pop, did someone
      spray something on the crowd? Are other people getting sick too? Is there an
      odor of new mown hay, green corn, something fruity, or camphor where it
      shouldn't be? If the answer is yes, then calmly (if you panic you breathe
      faster and inhale more air/poison) leave the area and head up wind, or,
      outside. Fresh air is the best "right now antidote". If you have a blob of
      liquid that looks like molasses or Kayro syrup on you; blot it or scrape it off
      and away from yourself with anything disposable. This stuff works based on
      your body weight, what a crop duster uses to kill bugs won't hurt you unless
      you stand there and breathe it in real deep, then lick the residue off the
      ground for while. Remember they have to do all the work, they have to get the
      concentration up and keep it up for several minutes while all you have to do is
      quit getting it on you/quit breathing it by putting space between you and the
      attack.

      Blood agents are cyanide or arsine which effect your blood's ability to provide
      oxygen to your tissue. The scenario for attack would be the same as nerve
      agent. Look for a pop or someone splashing/spraying something and folks around
      there getting woozy/falling down. The telltale smells are bitter almonds or
      garlic where it shouldn't be. The symptoms are blue lips, blue under the
      fingernails rapid breathing. The military's antidote is amyl nitride and just
      like nerve agent antidote it just keeps your body working for five minutes till
      the toxins are used up. Fresh air is the your best individual chance.

      Blister agents (distilled mustard) are so nasty that nobody wants to even
      handle it let alone use it. It's almost impossible to handle safely and may
      have delayed effect of up to 12 hours. The attack scenario is also limited to
      the things you'd see from other chemicals. If you do get large, painful
      blisters for no apparent reason, don't pop them, if you must, don't let the
      liquid from the blister get on any other area, the stuff just keeps on
      spreading. It's just as likely to harm the user as the target. Soap, water,
      sunshine, and fresh air are this stuff's enemy. Bottom line on chemical
      weapons (it's the same if they use industrial chemical spills); they are
      intended to make you panic, to terrorize you, to heard you like sheep to the
      wolves. If there is an attack, leave the area and go upwind, or to the sides
      of the wind stream. They have to get the stuff to you, and on you. You're more
      likely to be hurt by a drunk driver on any given day than be hurt by one of
      these attacks. Your odds get better if you leave the area. Soap, water, time,
      and fresh air really deal this stuff a knock-out-punch. Don't let fear of an
      isolated attack rule your life. The odds are really on your side.

      Nuclear bombs. These are the only weapons of mass destruction on earth. The
      effects of a nuclear bomb are heat, blast, EMP, and radiation. If you see a
      bright flash of light like the sun, where the sun isn't, fall to the ground!
      The heat will be over a second. Then there will be two blast waves, one out
      going, and one on it's way back. Don't stand up to see what happened after the
      first wave; anything that's going to happen will have happened in two full
      minutes.

      These will be low yield devices and will not level whole cities. If you live
      through the heat, blast, and initial burst of radiation, you'll probably live

      Liddy visits Israel - Hosts show from Jerusalem Post Radio studios



      Hear the show live on your radio set at these stations, or, go to Jerusalem
      Post Radio and listen to excerpts online over the Net.
      Hear the following 'G-Man' interviews:

      Bibi Netanyahu
      Dore Gold
      David Hermesh
      F. David Radler
      Itamar Marcus
      Mike Pence
      Tom Rose







      The Army, the FBI, the Nixon Administration, the Watergate scandal, and Jail.
      He is a man of courage and honor to some, a disgrace to others, and fascinating
      to all. From his involvement in Watergate, to his controversial radio program,
      which reaches some 8-10 million Americans daily, he is a man who has cast
      himself in his own action adventure story.

      Who is this? G. Gordon Liddy or the G-Man as he is known to his talk show
      listeners, a national political personality and host of the nationally
      syndicated conservative radio talk show, the G. Gordon Liddy Show. In addition
      to the radio program, Mr. Liddy is an author of three books, an actor, and a
      lecturer on political history, domestic and foreign policy, and politics today.
      He is widely respected by friends and foes for his intellect, convictions,
      outspoken style and humor.

      Please join us in welcoming G. Gordon Liddy - a genuine American original - to
      Israel, and the radio studios of the Jerusalem Post.

      Liddy, "delighted" to working with The Jerusalem Post, will bring his daily,
      very conservative radio program "The G. Gordon Liddy Show" to the country for a
      week, starting October 22. During that period he will interview a host of
      Israeli leaders and talk to his listeners on some 200 radio stations around the
      US from the Post's building in Jerusalem.

      Asked if he is afraid to come to Israel now, at a time of State Department
      travel advisories and a complete lack of tourism, Liddy emphatically
      replied "Nooo."

      "I'm a life member of the American Special operations Association, a former war-
      time artillery officer in our army, and a former bureau supervisor of the FBI,"
      he said, in signature staccato fashion.

      "I don't like to say a lot of self serving things, but I once captured at gun-
      point one of only two people in history who had twice been on the FBI's 10 most
      wanted list, and I did it at gun-point by out-drawing him.

      I'm not going to be afraid to go to Israel, for heaven's sake. If someone
      starts shooting at me, and there is a gun nearby, they are going to be damned
      sorry."

      Although plans to do the show in Israel were hatched well before September 11,
      Liddy feels the attacks in the US make his coming here now more "pertinent and
      important."

      "The US citizenry now understand to some degree what every Israeli citizens has
      been going through for so many years at the hands of the terrorists," Liddy
      said.

      On one of his web-sites, Liddy describes what he views as his overall purpose
      in public life as follows: "to look through the night of nitwittery, cut
      through the political correctness, and blow away the bravo sierra [b.s.] to
      find the good, the true, the prudent and wise so you can act upon it to the
      benefit of your personal, family, working, community, and national life as an
      American citizen."

      Asked how interested his listeners now are in what is happening in Israel,
      considering that US forces are involved in fighting taking place four large
      countries to Israel's east, Liddy said the US public is interested because of
      Osama bin Laden's attempts to link the attacks in New York and Washington to US
      support for Israel.

      "The terrorists are saying there will be no peace in the US until they feel
      secure in - quote

      Wanted: Snappy ideas for fighting terrorism

      WITH the war in Afghanistan proceeding slowly and the home front dogged by
      anthrax scares, the US military announced last night that it needs help — fast —
      and appealed to the public for ideas on how to fight terrorism.
      Suggesting that its own planners are not quite up to the job, the Pentagon
      launched a competition for ordinary Americans to send in snappy ideas on
      thwarting terrorists. The winning bid could form the basis of a professional
      contract with the Defence Department.

      So pressing is the need that no one is excluded from this competition. “We’re
      open to ideas from just about everybody,” Glenn Flood, the Pentagon spokesman,
      said.

      Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defence, is known to be frustrated with his
      underlings’ inability to think “out of the box” in this new kind of war, but
      appealing to every Tom, Dick and Harry for a good idea or two may not do much
      to reassure the public that the country’s safety is in the best possible hands.

      The Pentagon said it was looking for help in “defeating difficult targets,
      conducting protracted operations in remote areas and developing countermeasures
      to weapons of mass destruction”. The competition aims to solicit creative
      proposals for fighting terrorism which could be developed and fielded within 18
      months, much faster than the Pentagon’s normal timetable for deploying action
      plans.

      The procedure is remarkably straightforward. Applicants must register at a
      special website, www.bids.tswg.gov and send in a one-page concept summary by
      December 23. If an idea makes it through the first selection the author will be
      asked to provide a 12-page thesis. The most promising applicants will be asked
      to submit full proposals and the winning ideas could be offered a Pentagon
      contract.

      Cororner says trip to NY was most difficult taken

      By: Frank Bell, The Aurora Sentinel October 25, 2001
      As millions of Americans watched New York's twin towers collapse into a heap of
      rubble, Arapahoe County Coroner Dr. Michael Dobersen knew he'd be going to
      Ground Zero.
      "I was watching it with my kids on the Today Show," Dobersen said. "It was just
      incredible. I pretty much knew I'd be making a trip."
      Dobersen, a member of a national disaster network under the Federal Emergency
      Management Agency, recently returned from New York, a city he said has been
      changed forever by the attacks that killed thousands.
      "This last trip, I was staying in a hotel near Times Square, and the few
      chances I had to walk around, I noticed people were looking at each other and
      talking with one another," he said.
      The country has changed, too.
      "Our time of feeling separated from the rest of the world, watching things that
      happen in the Middle East on the television then going back to our happy
      existences ... well, we can't do that any more."
      For a week, Dobersen helped perform DNA testing to establish the identities of
      victims trapped and killed in the thousands of tons of rubble that buried
      several square blocks.
      The work is gruesome.
      "We were picking pieces of people out of other pieces of people," Dobersen
      said. "I think the largest part we received weighed maybe 10 or 15 pounds. That
      gives you an idea of the energy and force involved."
      The body parts revealed intimate clues into the lives of the victims.
      "It was so sad when you'd get something like a hand with a wedding ring on it,"
      he said.
      Spending time in a sprawling family assistance center was a sobering experience
      for Dobersen.
      "The family assistance center is about the size of five football fields on this
      pier," Dobersen said. "There was this wall with pictures the missing and there
      were teddy bears and flowers. To see that, that really hit close to home ... It
      really put a face on it. It might not have made it easy, but put it into
      perspective."
      Dobersen proudly showed off his identification badge, autographed by singer and
      pianist Elton John when he made a visit to the family assistance center.
      Dobersen also shared chilling mementos of the tragedy - plastic envelopes
      containing bits of glass and concrete that once were a major part of one of the
      most well known skylines in the world as well as a scrap of paper from what
      appears to be a contract. Ordinarily mundane objects that now represent the
      worst attack in history on America's home soil.
      "I don't think it's still really hit me, it's kind of a delayed reaction," he
      said. "If they identify 30 to 40 percent, that would be quite an
      accomplishment."
      Workers had removed about a fifth of the rubble when Dobersen returned to
      Colorado Oct. 1. As of early October, authorities had genetically tested and
      numbered roughly 7,400 body parts at a cost of $200 to $300 for each test.
      "No matter how small they are, they are tested," Dobersen said.
      Although Americans have been bombarded daily by television images and radio and
      print accounts on the destruction, one must go there to fully comprehend it,
      Dobersen said.
      "From television, you don't get an idea of how massive the damage is," he
      said. "Everywhere the eye can see ... there's destruction or some kind of
      collateral damage."
      Being at Ground Zero touched all of Dobersen's senses.
      "The smell, the smell is like burning wood, burning tires and a sort of
      metallic smell," he said. "The girders are just twisted like licorice."
      Dobersen said he spoke with firefighters who escaped the buildings' collapse.
      "They were on their way up the stairwell when burning jet fuel started coming
      down the steps," he said. "They said it was just the worst thing they'd ever
      seen."
      And Dobersen said it was probably the worst thing he's ever seen.
      "When the murders at Chuck E. Cheese happened, I didn't think it could get much
      worse," he said. "When Columbine happened, I didn't think it could get much
      worse ... and every time you think you have a handle on that, something else
      happens. I think at least in my lifetime, this is the worst I've ver seen."
      Deputy Coroner Cherry Goodman, who also was called to assist in New York,
      agreed.
      "I've read a lot of stories, accounts of some of the victim's last moments, and
      those are just heartbreaking," she said.
      Despite the grim nature of their work, both Dobersen and Goodman said they are
      happy to go.
      "I know that I helped, and that's the main thing," Goodman said. "That's the
      main reason you go - for the families."
      Both said it's unlikely that their work in New York is done.
      "I think I can expect to go back," Dobersen said.

        Have you been to a post office in the past 40 days?

        Feeling a little under the weather?

        Thousands of postal workers are now on antibiotics in the Washington DC area.

        US Postal workers are starting to drop like flies to the true power of Anthrax.

        No one except the terrorists know how many letters have been sent with Anthrax nor what Post Offices have had letters with Anthrax in them.

        What is known, is that the way the US Postal machines handle Millions of letters each day, can make an Anthrax letter bomb release it's killer poison into the air. There it can filter throughout a Post Office and inffect anyone in a Post Office. Postal workers and postal customers are now in fact at risk of Anthrax due to how the machines move mail in a Post Office.

        Were the letters to high profile people in the media and government the only letters with Anthrax sent by terrorists?

        Have the letters stopped?

        Will the Anthrax letters continue to keep being dumped into the US postal system making mail a thing of the past?

        There are three forms of Anthrax poisoning.

        The most dangerous is Inhalation Anthrax, and that is what is now killing people quickly.

        When you inhale the odorless and invisible spores of Anthrax, you may have a slight reaction to it. Then for 30 to 60 days the spores lay like a time bomb in your lungs. When the second phase of inhalation Anthrax kicks in, you first appear to have a nasty flu. Within a couple of days ore even hours you are dead.

        This is Inhalation Anthrax, and it is the type of Anthrax that is now appearing in DC Postal workers.

        DC postal workers got Inhalation Anthrax as the mechanical mail feeders in the DC area squeezed or compressed 1 or more Anthrax letters and then whipped them around the sorting room.

        The Anthrax in the DC letter(s) is what is known as Military Grade. That means it can be easily put into the air with minimal movement of an item used to disperse the Anthrax spores.

        This type of Anthrax is considered very hard to make. It takes Millions of dollars to refine Anthrax into a 1 Micron size, which is the size of some of the spores found in the Anthrax letter bombs.

        The US Military has done it and so has the Russian military.

        Iraq is said to have this sophisticated type of Anthrax. Some have stated it was given to Iraq over the years by both the US and Russian military.

        Some say Iraq now has the capacity to produce this level of military grade Anthrax.

        Mohammed Atta the so called ring leader of the 911 attacks met with Iraqi agents this summer in Europe.

        If the terrorists want to really confuse the US Government, they can send Anthrax letters all over the US to addresses that don't exist with fake return addresses.

        The poison letters will then infect US Post Offices and US Citizens all over the country via the mechanical machines used to sort mail.

        When a letter with Anthrax is RETURNED to an address that doesn't exist, it will be put into a dead letter file in a US Post Office.

        Such a virtually untraceable letter will have infected the post office it first went to be sorted in, the post office it was sent to in order to be delivered and then the post office it ends up in as an undeliverable letter.

        The whole time the letter never even has to be opened!

        While the FBI and US Postal Inspectors look for letters send to the media and government, the real damage can be being done by letters that most likely will never even be read.

        Did the terrorists do this already?

        Or did the terrorists just learn that the US Postal equipment that sorts millions of letters is the perfect vehicle to deliver Anthrax bombs to kill many US citizens?

        We have done many articles on this site about someone who is the most gifted living psychic in the world. His name is SOLLOG. He actually wrote a WARNING that stated a major act of terrorism would hit New York City in September. He called the act of terrorism the BIG BANG in the BIG BUILDING.

        The same warning stated many people in the NYC media would then be struck after the September terrorism. He recently hit 9 striaght quake pedictions in a row.

        His New York City terrorism warning is being hidden by the US media and government.

        Why?

        SOLLOG says the age of NUKE TERRORISM is about to being.

        So I asked the great seer SOLLOG who many consider to be the MODERN NOSTRADAMUS, what he saw for the near future in regards to the US Mail.

        The seer said, "The US Mail will soon be a thing of the past. Many will soon be dead in the US and overseas from major Anthrax attacks that will be carried out via the worlds postal systems.

        Terrorists will also use large public buildings to attack silently many people all over the world with Anthrax. Anthrax will be released in the ventilation systems of many public buildings via ventilation systems."

        SOLLOG also warned, "Many right now are walking Anthrax bombs about to explode. Many more will be infected soon by Anthrax. Thousands will die from the poison created by US military scientists over the years. The poison of Anthrax. The only reason this poison exists in such a Military grade is because the evil US military developed it. Just like they developed Nuclear Bombs."

        SOLLOG then added, "Although many will receive antibiotics to kill Anthrax. It will be a continued attack, and such antibiotics will not keep working. That will result in many deaths in the US Postal system and it will soon break down.

        Mail costs will sky rocket, so more and more businesses will learn how to do business with no paper. With electronic payments, there is no need for businesses to use the mail for things like billing. With the advent of the internet and email, families will soon stop sending photos and cards in the mail. It will all be done via the internet and email."

        So that is what SOLLOG the greatest seer living says. Many will soon die from an continued Anthrax attack. Postal workers will at first have immunity to Anthrax from antibiotics, but they will grow immune to such antibiotics and eventually fall to Anthrax if they continue to work where Anthrax is sent.

        How many people are entering hospitals right now with symptoms of the flu that will soon be sent home to die mysteriously?

        If you know of anyone that dies suddenly from a flu like illness, and the person is not old and sickly before the death, email us.

        We want to start to keep track of all the mysterious deaths the US Government and media will soon be hiding.

        THE FACT IS, Military grade anthrax is now being used on the American public through the postal system. It will also be delivered in large public buildings through ventilation systems.

        MANY WILL NOW BE DYING FROM ANTHRAX

        You've now been warned, something the US government and media refuses to do.

        So stop using the mail, refuse to accept it and demand that you get electronic bills from anyone you do business with.

        Stop going to targets, like large public buildings.

        REALIZE YOU ARE AT WAR WITH A PEOPLE THAT HAVE USED AND WILL CONTINUE TO USE BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS AGAINST YOU!

        Look at your life style and ask:

        Do you really need to sit in a theater and possibly be exposed to an Anthrax attack?

        Do you really need to sit a sports complex and possibly be exposed to an Anthrax attack?

        Do you work in a large building that is a possible Anthrax target?

        Do you need to visit a mall that could be a possible Anthrax target?

        Most of the things you now do or the way you now live your life puts you at risk of entering a possible Anthrax attack target.

        Stopping your mail is easy.

        Learning to not breath in Anthrax targets will radically change your life. You won't be able to go to many of the public places you are used to going. The Post Office, Sports Complexes, Malls and large public buildings.

        Do you really want to risk possi

      War Needs Good Public Relations
      By Norman Solomon
      For some people, war is terror, disaster and death. For others, it's a PR
      problem.

      At the Rendon Group, a public-relations firm with offices in Boston and
      Washington, pleasant news arrived the other day with a $397,000 contract to
      help the Pentagon look good while bombing Afghanistan. The four-month deal
      includes an option to renew through most of 2002.

      This is a job for savvy PR pros who know how to sound humanistic. "At the
      Rendon Group, we believe in people," says the company's mission statement,
      which expresses "our admiration and respect for cultural diversity" and
      proclaims a commitment to "helping people win in the global marketplace."

      A media officer at the Pentagon explained why Rendon got the contract. "We
      needed a firm that could provide strategic counsel immediately," Lt. Col.
      Kenneth McClellan said. "We were interested in someone that we knew could come
      in quickly and help us orient to the challenge of communicating to a wide range
      of groups around the world."

      As a PR outfit, Rendon has moved in some powerful economic circles, with
      clients including official trade agencies of the United States, Bulgaria,
      Russia and Uzbekistan. In Washington, the firm helped organize a series of
      conferences on "post-privatization management in the global telecommunications,
      electric power, oil and gas, banking and finance, and transportation sectors."
      Some of the clientele has been more liberal or touchy-feely: Handgun Control
      Inc. and the American Massage Therapy Association.

      Rendon proudly notes that it provided "community and media relations counsel to
      the Monsanto Chemical Company in its effort to clean up several contaminated
      sites." Overseas, Rendon helped the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation to cope with
      labor strife and bad press when closing a refinery in Naples, Italy.

      Some clients have been more shadowy. Rendon worked for the government of Kuwait
      in the early 1990s. And the firm made a lot of money by contracting with the
      CIA to do media work for the Iraqi National Congress, an organization seeking
      the overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

      Now, the Rendon Group is facing what is perhaps its most challenging project

      US mulls neutralising Pak nuclear facilities




      ASHINGTON: President George W Bush is consulting senior leaders on plans to
      neutralise Pakistan's nuclear capabilities if the Pervez Musharraf regime
      collapses, a senior US lawmaker has indicated.

      Joe Biden, chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
      strongly hinted this at a meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations in New
      York.

      Biden was asked about an article in The New York Times on the need to render
      Pakistani nuclear weapons ineffective if the Musharraf regime falls. The
      Democrat senator replied: "Those discussions are underway with the Democratic
      and Republican members of Congress and the president on setting those
      priorities."

      There have been strong protests from fundamentalist groups in Pakistan against
      Musharraf's decision to back the US war against Afghanistan. This has given
      rise to questions about a threat to the military regime and the possibility of
      Pakistan's nuclear facilities falling into the hands of religious groups.

      Biden said: "The question is, the president (Bush) has an internal dilemma he
      has to overcome first. He (Bush) is focusing on first things first, but then he
      has to deal with ...and I'm going to get in trouble for saying this... but he
      has to deal with what has not gone away. There is, for lack of a better phrase,
      still a Rumsfeld-Powell split on how they look at the world, and how they look
      at these very issues that you've stated here."

      Biden indicated a split between Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary
      of State Colin Powell with the suggestion that Rumsfeld, a known hawk,
      supported such a plan in Pakistan while Powell opposed it.

      Biden, who said he had been in close consultations with Bush, also set out his
      views on US relations with India and Pakistan. "I think there has to be a clear
      understanding, both in Delhi and Islamabad, that we are interested, we are
      looking and we are watching. Secondly, I think a message should be delivered
      very strongly to the Indians - do not attempt to take advantage of the
      circumstances at this moment, it's against your interests across the board."

      But finally, he said, "we have to make clear to the Pakistanis that,
      notwithstanding the fact we need you very much right now, you are in a position
      where if you are going to continue to foment the terror that does exist in
      Kashmir, then you are operating against your own near-term interests, because
      that very viper can turn on you."

      Pakistan on Friday dismissed as absurd British media reports that Osama bin
      Laden had obtained nuclear material from Islamabad. The Times newspaper and
      Channel Four television quoted Western intelligence sources as saying the Saudi-
      born dissident had obtained the material illegally from Pakistan, a nuclear
      capable country. A Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman said on Friday that the
      allegation was absurd.

      "Our nuclear materials are in very safe hands, these are absurd allegations,"
      spokesman Riaz Mohammad Khan said. The Times and Channel Four said that bin
      Laden and his al Qaeda network of Islamic extremists, which operates out of
      neighbouring Afghanistan, did not have the technology to make a nuclear bomb.

      Kashmir will become central to resolving tensions between India and Pakistan,
      he said. "The truth of the matter is, the whole world is looking at their
      problem now in Kashmir, not just us, the spotlight is on and the consequences
      for how they will be treated relative to all other nations in the world is very
      much up in the air right now, and they should be made constantly aware of how
      tenuous the circumstance is for both of them. In this case, particularly India,
      in my view, particularly India."

      Replying to a question on relations with India after the US had been seen to be
      moving close to the country before September 11, Biden said: "I think that was
      then, and it's almost still that way now. And let me explain what I mean by
      that. "I may be mistaken, and I may be a bit cynical, but I think the initial
      `tilt' toward India was related to Beijing more than it was to Pakistan or
      anything else. And I think that the relationship with Beijing was going south
      very rapidly."

      Biden said "there is a desire in the administration to actually, genuinely
      (have) better relations with India. I think it is an absolute essential element
      of American foreign policy that that be done. And part of that is simply
      engaging ... engaging them and treating them like what they are. They will not
      (in) too long be the largest, most populous nation in the world. They are a
      democracy, as flawed as you may think it is. They are someone with whom we
      should and must have a much, much, much better relationship and understanding."

      The whole world has changed for India in recent years, Biden said. "It has
      changed not only when the wall came down, and when their protector evaporated,
      it changed now as the relationship with China begins to mature, and they're
      going to have some great difficulty internally figuring out how to deal with
      that.

      "But we should be engaged at the highest level on a daily basis, literally with
      India. So I don't think the administration is jettisoning India, but I think
      they're beginning to look at India in a different way, not as cynically as just
      a card to have been played against Beijing."

      Bush's Uzbek Bargain
      by Dilip Hiro


      fter weeks of evasion and deflection, reminiscent of two illicit lovers keen
      to avoid scandal, the United States and Uzbekistan announced on October 12 that
      they had made a deal. Tashkent agreed to let the United States use not only its
      airspace but also its military and civilian infrastructure in the common cause
      of fighting terrorism. In return, Washington undertook a commitment to discuss
      any threats to Uzbekistan, implying its willingness to defend the host country
      if attacked by Afghanistan.

      Though remote at present, the prospect of the Taliban regime attacking
      Uzbekistan cannot be ruled out. Much depends on what happens during the "search
      and rescue" and "humanitarian" missions by the US special forces operating from
      Uzbek airbases. In the course of such innocuous-sounding missions, the special
      forces frequently deploy helicopters and strike aircraft.

      "If it means you have to take out half a dozen Taliban positions to 'rescue'
      your colleagues, then that is what you have got to do," explained an Uzbek
      military analyst in Tashkent. "Most people might sometimes find it hard to
      recognize [the difference between] a regular attack and [a] search and rescue
      [mission]." Equally, he added, "it could be considered 'humanitarian' to remove
      Taliban forces from a valley filled with civilians in need of food and medical
      supplies."

      Washington has been complicit with the repressive Uzbek government for some
      time. Rustam Jumaev, chief spokesman for Uzbek President Islam Karimov,
      recently told the Washington Post that his country and the United States had
      been conducting covert anti-Taliban operations since mid-2000, and that
      significant security and military cooperation between Uzbekistan and the
      Pentagon had existed for "two to three years." This was a welcome departure
      from the Uzbek administration's usual secretiveness. Though the London Guardian
      had revealed on September 21 that two US Hercules transport planes, carrying
      surveillance equipment and 200 US military personnel in civilian clothes, had
      landed three days earlier at a military base near Tashkent on their way to
      Termez on the Uzbek-Afghan border, Uzbek officials would say only, "Our
      president is prepared to discuss anything with Washington."

      Weeks later, an Uzbek spokesman revealed that, following telephone
      conversations between Presidents Karimov and George W. Bush, the former had
      agreed to let the Pentagon use Uzbek airspace in the fight against terrorism
      for security and humanitarian aims. And it was only after the visit to Tashkent
      of US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld in early October that an announcement
      was made about the imminent arrival of 1,000 soldiers from the US 10th Mountain
      Division, deployed to defend an airbase being used for search and rescue and
      humanitarian missions. Another contingent of 1,000 troops arrived soon after.
      Why the mountaineers were guarding the perimeter of an airbase remained a
      mystery until it became clear that the Uzbek government had handed over an
      airbase completely to the Pentagon.

      The airbase remains unnamed to this day. But since a five-miles radius around
      the airbase at Khanabad near Qarshi--100 miles from the Afghan frontier--has
      been closed even to local residents, the "secret" is common knowledge. Aside
      from heavy US transport planes, the locals have noticed strike aircraft and
      helicopters landing and taking off.

      The Uzbek government has barely changed from Soviet times. The Communist chief
      of that period, Karimov, is still in power. The republic, accounting for about
      half of the 57 million inhabitants of the five Muslim-majority Central Asian
      states, continues to be under one-party rule, now called the People's
      Democratic Party. In 1999 opposition groups were prevented from contesting the
      parliamentary elections. The following year Karimov was re-elected in a contest
      regarded by Western observers as neither free nor fair.

      Uzbekistan's human rights record is abominable. Last April, in a chilling
      reminder of the Soviet era, Elena Urlaeva, a human rights campaigner, was
      forcibly admitted to a psychiatric hospital after her arrest in Tashkent. In
      the name of suppressing Islamic militancy, the authorities have arrested male
      citizens for wearing a beard and females for wearing a veil, and other Muslims
      for circulating religious leaflets and for attending unlicensed mosques. "The
      situation was bad before, but it is now very dangerous for religious freedom
      and political opposition," said Ruslan Sharipov of the Human Rights Society of
      Uzbekistan. "There are already some 10,000 political and religious prisoners,
      and there is great censorship. I am afraid that the US will take the pressure
      off Uzbekistan's human rights now, and that things could get a lot worse."

      Uzbekistan's economy is still dominated by a corrupt, inefficient public
      sector, which provides a gravy train for the ruling-party faithful. When
      Tashkent refused to reform its banking sector to qualify for further loans, the
      International Monetary Fund closed its local office earlier this year.



      With average monthly wages of as little as $20 by some estimates, socioeconomic
      conditions are ripe for change. But legitimate opposition, whether secular or
      Islamic, has been driven underground. The Islamic Renaissance Party, with a
      considerable following in the densely inhabited Fergana Valley--home to a third
      of the national population-turned increasingly violent. It set up a rear base
      in the ethnic Uzbek area of Afghanistan after it passed into Taliban hands in
      mid-1997, renaming itself the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU). It
      attempted to assassinate Karimov by detonating a series of car bombs in
      Tashkent in February 1999, but failed. Thirteen people died.

      Now the Bush Administration associates the IMU with Osama bin Laden. That
      appears to be enough justification for it to openly embrace Karimov, whose
      corrupt and often brutal one-man regime is despised and feared by so many.
      Details of the financial deal between Tashkent and Washington remain secret.
      Most likely, either the United States has promised to pressure the IMF to
      resume loans while helping Uzbekistan to reform its financial sector, or it has
      agreed to lean on the World Bank to grant Tashkent soft loans and defer or
      waive interest payments on earlier loans. Either way, Karimov will get a nice
      economic cushion while he runs the country with an iron hand. It is ironic that
      the military operation the US has launched on the shoulders of two dictators--
      one military, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, in Pakistan; and the other civilian,
      Karimov in Uzbekistan--has been named "Enduring Freedom."

      Terror Law: A win for fear, a loss for freedom October 26 @ 12:54am
      "Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny," British parliamentarian Edmund Burke
      explained in 1800.

      Two centuries have passed, but legislatures continue to reinforce the link
      between bad law and tyranny. The U.S. Congress did so this week, with the
      passage of the ambitiously named Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
      Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT)
      Act.

      Rare are the moments in American history when a Congress has surrendered so
      many cherished freedoms in a single trip to the altar of immediate fear.

      Crafted in Attorney General John Ashcroft’s little shop of legal horrors from
      the remnants of past assaults on the Constitution, the "USA PATRIOT ACT" is a
      legislative Frankenstein’s monster.

      "This bill goes light years beyond what is necessary to combat terrorism,"
      argues Laura Murphy, Director of the ACLU Washington National Office. "Included
      in the bill are provisions that would allow for the mistreatment of immigrants,
      the suppression of dissent and the investigation and surveillance of wholly
      innocent Americans."

      And the bad legislation is now the law of the land. Signed Friday by President
      Bush, it was opposed in the Senate only by Russ Feingold, D-Wi. In the House is
      drew broader opposition from 62 Democrats

      Arafat’s Never-Ending Hunger for War
      28 October: The speech Yasser Arafat delivered Saturday, October 27, restored
      to their true perspective a whole range of happenings in the week just ending -
      in particular, the well-meaning attempts to persuade Israel that its army’s
      anti-terrorist cleanups in seven Palestinian towns, in the wake of the
      assassination of its tourism minister, Rehavem Zeevi, was a punishment the
      Palestinian leader could not be expected to bear - as well as hampering the
      American campaign against terror.
      Then came the rise and fall of a deal brokered by the US to enable Israeli
      troops to pull out of Bethlehem and Beit Jalah. Struck on Friday night, October
      26, the deal broke down Saturday morning, October 27. Instead of holding their
      fire for just 24 h ours, the Palestinians stepped up their attacks from the Al
      Aida refugee camp in the Bethlehem sector (as well as in most other parts of
      the West Bank and Gaza Strip).
      Prime Minister Ariel Sharon thereupon suspended the pullout indefinitely.
      Amid the noise and fury, Arafat made it clear that however much the world may
      have changed since September 11, every one of his spots remains firmly in
      place.
      For one of his most bellicose speeches in months, Arafat gathered in his office
      in Gaza the political activists of all the Palestinian groups – Fatah-Tanzim,
      the Popular Front, the Democratic Front, Hamas and Jihad Islami. Under the
      caption, ”Facing the Challenges”, he placed the Palestinian struggle at the
      center of the Muslim scene and in the context of the war in Afghanistan.
      Certain phrases, for which he raised his voice, drew loud cheers:
      “The Palestinian struggle is Al Qaeda (literally “The Base”)” or “Palestine is
      the true Al Qaeda. Those who don’t agree can drink the sea water of Gaza.”
      And: “The day will come for us to liberate all the mosques and churches of
      Jerusalem and unfurl the Palestinian flag over our capital city, Jerusalem.”
      Arafat by reiterating the name of Osama bin Laden’s terror network, Al Qaeda,
      was throwing down a symbolic gauntlet.
      Palestinian experts interpret him as saying in effect that the Palestinian
      cause was the true basis for the Islamic struggle – not bin Laden, but the
      Palestinian people and their leader were the authentic fighters on behalf of
      Islam.
      He was not trying to discredit bin Laden’s terror campaign against the United
      States, which has been lauded in Palestinian demonstrations which Arafat’s
      police suppressed violently. He drew cheers from his audience by declaring that
      the campaign was just, but at the same time the Saudi-born terrorist had done
      the Palestinians and their leader a grave injustice by usurping their rightful
      place as the original instigators of the struggle.
      This was Arafat’s way of answering Osama bin Laden’s televised address shortly
      after the US launched its war in Afghanistan. Bin Laden then embraced the
      Palestinian cause and sneered at depraved Arab leaders, among them Arafat, for
      betraying that cause by being corrupt.
      It should therefore have come as no surprise to anyone that, while sending his
      top officers, among them General Intelligence West Bank Chief Tawfiq Tirawi, to
      meet Israeli and American officers to discuss the Israeli army’s withdrawal
      from Palestinian territory, he also ordered the sameTirawi to defeat the
      exercise by keeping up the shooting at full blast in the Bethlehem-Gilo sector.
      Arafat has no interest in ending his war against Israel; what he cares about is
      his place in Islamic history. When he launched his Al Aqsa intifada last
      September, he fought his holy war alone in the Arab and Muslim arena. Now he
      has powerful competition from the millionaire terrorist who despises him and
      has declared a global intifada. Arafat is not one to back down when faced with
      competition. Quite the opposite, he is stepping up the combat.
      The suspension of the Israeli withdrawal from Bethlehem and Beit Jala – until
      Sunday in the first instance - is likely therefore to drag out much longer, as
      long as Israel insists on not pulling its troops back under fire. Meanwhile,
      American and European diplomats have gone into action to get Arafat to halt the
      shooting by Monday.
      In the meantime, the wars go on – in Kabul, in Bethlehem and in Gilo alike.
      All the distinctions drawn by US diplomats and media, like Tom Friedman, the
      New York Times columnist, between the two arenas are therefore artificial
      because it is Yasser Arafat who will never accept them. He sees himself as bin
      Laden’s forerunner and more than an equal in the great Islamic campaign against
      the infidel.

      Will US Setbacks Bring Nuclear Option Nearer?
      28 October: The United States-led Afghanistan campaign is facing grave
      difficulties as it enters its fourth week, notwithstanding the many tons of
      ordnance dropped on key Taliban targets.
      Saturday, the Taliban claimed to have repulsed an opposition offensive backed
      by US air strikes in the key northern city of Mazar-e-Sherif. While Kabul
      suffered its heaviest US air pounding yet, the Taliban claimed to have captured
      and hanged five opposition Northern Alliance commanders, a day after executing
      the Pashtun guerrilla leader Abdul Haq. This was a serious blow to US plans for
      Afghanistan’s post-war government. Haq’s body will be handed to his relatives
      in Kabul who will take it to Peshawar Sunday for burial.
      In another tribally-related event, thousands of Pakistani Pashtuns, whose
      cousins dominate the Afghanistan Taliban, attempted to cross into Afghanistan
      Saturday to join the war against the United States. They crossed paths with the
      millions of Afghan refugees heading in the opposite direction away from the
      fighting. By mistake, US warplanes blitzed the third Red Cross food relief
      store.
      In these circumstances, the strategists in Washington plotting the next stages
      of the war are, according to military and intelligence experts, considering
      the possibility of turning to tactical nuclear weapons and assigning Russian
      troops a larger Russian battlefield role. Friday, October 26, Russia launched
      its newest military satellite, Molniya (Lightning), which is equipped for
      military communications as well as intelligence gathering and surveillance, a
      necessary appurtenance for the introduction of large-scale Russian forces into
      Afghanistan via Tajikistan.
      Saturday, October 27, British premier Tony Blair spoke of the danger of Osama
      bin Laden acquiring chemical, biological or even nuclear weapons. The British
      leader is unlikely to have raised this dire possibility spontaneously, without
      prior consultation with the White House. The events leading up to the
      contemplation of nuclear warfare in Washington and London include also the
      spreading of anthrax contamination and the rising menace of further terrorist
      strikes inside the United States.
      The four central difficulties facing the US-led campaign as it goes into its
      fourth week are:
      A. Two obstacles in the military sphere: The intense bombardment – by bomber
      and missile - of the Taliban’s political and military backbone has proved
      ineffective. Physical structures were demolished, but the regime’s political
      and religious leadership, its military command, its fighting strength and its
      arsenals, remain virtually unscathed. Notwithstanding the massive concentration
      of troops around Afghanistan, the United States and its allies are clearly
      short of the ground strength for conducting a full-scale military campaign
      inside Afghanistan.
      US military strength in its present field strength has no way of “smoking the
      terrorists out of their holes” as President Bush promised the nation at the
      outset of the war.
      B. One intelligence obstacle: The United lacks a sufficient number of counter-
      intelligence agents inside Afghanistan – or even competent professionals in the
      surrounding countries, Pakistan and Central Asia. The Al Qaeda network and the
      allied Egyptian Jihad Islami field double as many intelligence operatives, or
      spies, as the West can muster in the target areas, enabling their leaders to
      stay one or more steps ahead of the United States.
      terrorism experts, in special report, describes how the bin Laden
      counterintelligence apparatus functions: In addition to Afghanistan, bin Laden
      runs agents in Somalia, the Comoro Islands, the Hadramauth region of Yemen ,
      Kosovo, Chechnya, the Ferghana Valley of Central Asia, the Philippines and
      Lebanon.
      As approved charities, many of apparently innocent Islamic societies subsist on
      local public funds, municipal and national – or even international allocations
      as UN-approved non-governmental bodies. As such, these Islamic societies
      appoint representatives or envoys, who act secretly as bin Laden’s liaison
      agents with the undercover operatives he maintains on the staffs of various
      international bodies.
      -Net-Weekly ’s terrorism experts reveal that bin Laden’s spy networks operate
      under cover at UN Headquarters in Manhattan and Geneva. US and Pakistani
      intelligence are certain that the many of the relief workers in the Afghan
      refugee camps are clandestine Al Qaeda agents, who exploit international food,
      medical care and personnel carriers to transfer people and messages to
      sensitive corners of war-struck Afghanistan and Pakistan.
      In the 1993 Somali civil war, Bin Laden took advantage of UN and US relief
      programs around the country to move his fighting strength from region to
      region, feed them and provide them with medical care.

      C. Musharref’s shaky situation : President Pervez Musharref is deeply worried
      about the hardiness of his regime – even after the parade of diplomatic
      cheerleaders who visited him last week, including Saudi foreign minister Saudi
      al-Faisal and Turkish president Ahmet Necdet Sezer – with German chancellor
      Schroeder due next week.
      Musharref has little or no support in the streets of Pakistan and is losing
      ground among his army officers too. The most dangerous development is the
      decision of Pakistan’s anti-Taliban Pashtun clans, together with the Baluchs,
      to withhold their support from US efforts to unseat the Taliban in Kabul.
      D. Terror at home: The dread in America generated by the outbreak of anthrax in
      US power and media centers. The infection is spreading slowly but insidiously,
      accompanied by forecasts of more terror attacks awaiting the American people.
      Political pressure is building up in Washington to deflect the ferocity of the
      world war President Bush declared on terror. Reports appearing in the
      Washington press – in today’s Washington Post, for instance - quote US
      intelligence as attributing the anthrax attack to domestic right-wing
      extremists. Earlier, the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Joe
      Biden warned that the US risked being perceived as a “hi-tech bully” if it did
      not shift the emphasis from air attack to ground operations.
      military experts believe that America’s problems with fielding large-scale
      ground forces are only beginning. As of Tuesday, October 23, the Taliban have
      been taking the initiative. Ignoring the America bombers overhead and taking
      advantage of the first winter storms in east and central Afghanistan, they
      managed to plant small groups of spies behind Northern Alliance front lines, a
      feat that would not have been feasible without inside help from Pashtun tribal
      kinsmen willing to betray their commanders.
      These plants and turncoats made it possible to corner Abdul Haq, one of the
      mujaheddin heroes of the anti-Soviet war, who entered Afghanistan secretly last
      week on a mission to persuade Afghan tribal chiefs to support a new government.
      He and his two companions were summarily executed, as were five of the Northern
      Alliance commanders taken captive Saturday.
      These moves left the Northern Alliance in serious disarray.
      At the same time, Taliban undercover agents infiltrated the Pashtun areas on
      the Pakistan side of the frontier, some disguised as refugees, and are stirring
      up a movement of volunteers to join the Taliban battle against the Americans.
      They are also provoking agitation inside Pakistan against the Musharref
      government’s support for the US campaign.
      In a separate joint pro-Taliban operation, Pakistani Pashtuns blocked the key
      transport link, the Karakoram Highway, between Afghanistan and China.
      In short, the Taliban has develope
    • Gość: Yidele The Nuclear Option - 2 IP: *.budimex.com.pl 28.10.01, 20:17
      In short, the Taliban has developed the means for responding to a heavy US-led
      ground action in Afghanistan, if one can be developed, by expanding its
      military and subversive operations both inside Pakistan and behind Northern
      Alliance lines. It is also capable of painful sabotage operations to obstruct
      US ground troops.
      Therefore the talk about the United States preparing for war in Afghanistan’s
      caves – as though the main body of Al Qaeda and Taliban combatants have taken
      refuge in caves – does not fit the facts. The first early snowfall in the
      northern mountains and valleys may be the worst obstacle the US ground campaign
      will have to contend with

      Counting the World Trade Center dead may be impossible

      16:56 26 October 01
      Gaia Vince

      The large discrepancy in estimates of the number of people killed by terrorists
      in the World Trade Center attack may be unavoidable due to the unpredictability
      of human behaviour, say aid agencies. Technology is only of limited help and
      the true toll may never be known, they say.

      Several US media outlets reported on Friday the large discrepancy between the
      official New York Police Department estimate of those missing and that
      calculated by the American Red Cross. The New York Times's own estimate was
      just under 3000.

      The official figure of 4167 is calculated from names on lists of companies
      based in the twin towers, people reported missing by relatives and friends and
      lists provided by foreign embassies. But the American Red Cross calculations
      put the number missing at just 2563, considerably lower, though the scale of
      the tragedy remains immense.

      After a disaster, the police set up a casualty bureau responsible for co-
      ordinating the calls about missing people. The trouble is peoples' behaviour
      patterns are unpredictable and it is often difficult to say for sure how many
      people were present in an area or building at a given time.


      Missing records


      Security procedures in office buildings generally mean the office's occupancy
      is recorded, but these records are often destroyed in the disaster.

      Rob Barrie of the UK-based International Rescue Corps has worked in disaster
      sites from Japan to Armenia and says there can be a big margin of error between
      the official and unofficial figures.

      "In residential areas you can get some idea from the voter roll," he says. "But
      in urban areas, where disasters are often worst, you can be looking at a high-
      rise block of flats and who knows how many people live there?"

      The WTC towers present even more difficulties as tourists were in the buildings
      and the businesses will have had visitors.


      A human operation


      Another difficulty is that people may be reported as missing several times over
      by different people who give different name spellings.

      Leslie VanSant of the American Red Cross says they try to minimise this by
      using a central co-ordination database but the task is still incredibly time
      consuming.

      "Over 35,000 people have been displaced by the disaster, so relatives cannot
      reach them at their old phone numbers or addresses and each case has to be
      checked through individually," she told New Scientist. "As far as we have come
      in technological advancement, it's still a very human operation."

      It is possible that the true number of people who died on 11 September in New
      York will never be known. Accounting for missing people takes a long time even
      in a disaster that is small in comparison, such as the Paddington rail crash in
      the UK in October 1999. Although all the recovered bodies have been accounted
      for, even now one person reported as missing has still not been traced.

      Anthrax bacteria likely to be US military strain

      19:00 24 October 01
      Debora MacKenzie

      The bacteria used for the anthrax attacks in the US is either the strain the US
      itself used to make anthrax weapons in the 1960s, or close to it. It is not a
      strain that Iraq, or the former Soviet Union, mass-produced for weapons.


      There have been charges over the past week that the sophistication of the
      anthrax suggests that it was produced with the backing of some government, such
      as Iraq. But neither the strain nor the physical form of the anthrax is
      particularly sophisticated, say bioweapons specialists.

      Last week, Tom Ridge, President Bush's Homeland Security adviser, stated that
      the anthrax sent to Florida, NBC and Senator Tom Daschle were all the same
      strain. An FBI spokesman in Florida confirmed that this was the Ames strain.

      But there has been confusion over what Ames means. The scientists analysing the
      anthrax are comparing its DNA with a library of strains collected from all over
      the world. In this collection, the standard Ames strain is the one the US used
      when it produced anthrax weapons, a programme which ended in 1969.

      To be identified as Ames in the studies currently underway, the anthrax must
      either be the American military strain or one that's very similar.


      Hundreds of strains


      It is a good choice for a terrorist. Ames is more likely than other strains of
      anthrax to cause disease in animals immunised with the standard US anthrax
      vaccine, which is now being given to US troops. It also has proven virulence
      and is not traceable to one particular country, says Ken Alibek, former deputy
      head of the Soviet bioweapons programme.

      The Soviets did not mass-produce Ames, says Alibek. Iraq favoured the Vollum
      strain, which has been identified in samples from its Al Hakam bacterial
      fermentation plant. The anthrax mass-produced for weapons in the US was
      destroyed after 1969.

      But samples were kept in the US and elsewhere. "The South African collection
      had hundreds of different strains," Alibek points out. And Wouter Basson,
      former head of the South African bioweapons programme, reportedly visited Libya
      after the fall of the apartheid government in 1994.


      Not rocket science


      As for the size of the anthrax particles used in the attacks, they were
      reportedly milled down to a few micrometres, optimal for inhalation. This has
      been cited as evidence of state involvement.

      But "you can use readily available equipment to do this," says Alibek. "It
      isn't rocket science." The attacks have caused relatively few inhalation cases
      so far, which suggests that the spores were not blended with anti-caking
      chemicals to promote airborne spread, which Alibek calls the real secret of
      weaponising anthrax. He suspects the attackers don't have much material to work
      with.


      Frequent mutations


      We could soon know. Paul Keim's team at Northern Arizona University in
      Flagstaff has pioneered the genetic analysis of anthrax bacilli. Team member
      Kimothy Smith says they have found that some DNA regions mutate frequently, as
      often as once in every 1000 cell divisions.

      By comparing the amount of mutation, says Smith, "you can say with a high
      degree of confidence how many bacterial generations separate an unknown strain
      from closely related reference strains". This can help pinpoint the exact
      strain the unknown anthrax came from.

      It is also a way of counting the number of cell divisions the bacilli have been
      through since they parted company with the most closely related strain. And a
      small batch of anthrax will have undergone many fewer cell divisions than a big
      batch.

      So the analysis could reveal whether the anthrax came from a 50-litre
      fermenter, such as a small-scale terrorist could obtain, or the huge vats of a
      state-sponsored bioweapons facility.

      NUKES: This Can't Be Good

      "Intelligence sources" say Osama bin Laden has "acquired nuclear
      materials for possible use" in terrorist activities against the West. The
      sources say he "does not have the capability to mount a nuclear attack but fear
      he would do so if he could." They believe he "obtained the materials illegally
      from Pakistan" (Webster/Watson, London Times, 10/26). The reports of bin Laden
      having nuclear capabilities "acquired an added urgency this week following the
      arrest in Islamabad of two retired Pakistani nuclear scientists whose
      activities in Afghanistan were being scrutinized by western intelligence
      agencies" (Rajghatta, Times of India, 10/26).
      Pakistan, however, "dismissed as absurd British media reports" that bin
      Laden had obtained nuclear material from Islamabad. Said Pakistani spokesperson
      Riaz Mohammad Khan: "Our nuclear materials are in very safe hands, these are
      absurd allegations" (Express India, 10/26).
      >From a London Times editorial: "It is unlikely that bin Laden has a
      nuclear warhead or would, if he had, be able to deliver or even to detonate
      one. The theory of nuclear weapons is well known but engineering one is far
      harder. Fissile cores are not much use without the electronics needed to start
      the chain reaction that detonates them. Bin Laden's agents may have infiltrated
      the Pakistani nuclear program, but because fissile cores are believed to be
      kept apart from warheads, it is though unlikely that he could have obtained
      both components" (10/26).
      Nuclear experts "said it was impossible to rule out bin Laden acquiring
      the components for nuclear weapons from rogue elements in Pakistan, while
      accumulating the fuel from the global nuclear black market" (Whittell, London
      Times, 10/26).
      More possible is that bin Laden would build a "much simpler, and equally
      terrifying," device called a "dirty bomb" made out of "nuclear waste material
      and conventional explosives." Setting off a "dirty bomb" in a city "would spew
      lethal radioactivity over a considerable distance, causing many casualties and
      rendering whole neighborhoods uninhabitable" (Hawkes, London Times, 10/26).

      It's so easy to manipulate people these days - especially such hardworking as
      Americans. People who rule America, have to sustain high level of anxiety,fear
      and unpredictability in society - keep remainding them about 11 IX ,so there's
      always enough support for bombing other countries,killing innocent civilians -
      all in the name of revenge and financial gains for ruling megacapitalist.
      Anthrax case is just classical expample of that kind of manipulations. Big fuss
      about nothing, but it helps to hold on a myth about alleged terrible dangers
      awaiting to happen in America, so it's seems to necessary to bomb anybody who
      is even remotely perceived as a treat..
