yidele Continuing an attack on your freedom.... 01.11.01, 19:13 Watch out for jackboots By Al Martin October 30, 2001 Before his speech, on September 20, 2001, George Bush Jr. kissed Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. The reason he kissed her? She was the deciding vote in the Florida ballot issue, which formally brought Bush Jr. into the White House. Later during the speech, Bush announced the creation of a Cabinet level position called "Office of Homeland Security." The Office of Homeland Security will be initially run by former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge. It should be noted that Ridge himself got in trouble a few years ago for praising the efficiency of the Third Reich's civilian administration. Ridge also spoke highly of Mussolini's ability to keep the Italian trains running on time. Now Ridge will be the guy running the Office of Homeland Security. The Bush administration is playing it smart. It's being cautious by whipping up public support first. Later it will announce some of the more sinister activities of this agency. According to an inside source, the "Office of Homeland Security" will operate three divisions. One will be a plain-clothes division similar to the FBI, which will be called the State Security Division (SSD). Ironically SSD is the same acronym as the former East German Secret Police. The second division of the Office of Homeland Security will be a smaller uniformed division, which currently remains nameless. It will act as a de facto State Political Police. By the way, Ridge wants the uniforms of this State Security division to be modeled on existing state trooper uniforms–except done in black. If you've ever seen New Jersey or Pennsylvania State Police uniforms, they have dark blue pants and lighter blue uniform on top. They also have those old- fashioned pants that bag out like the old German or Gestapo pants. They'll have jet-black jackboots, and black uniforms with lots of gold insignias indicating the Power of the State. Of course, "State" here is used in the context of the American Nation State. The third division of the Office of Homeland Security will be called the Office of the United States Air Marshals (Air Marshal Services.) It will have to federalize the new air marshal service because security on aircraft is currently being provided by state police. The problem, of course, is that there will be jurisdictional issues. The actual name of this agency, Office of Homeland Security, is very reminiscent of 20th century era German/Fascist and Russian/Communist secret police agencies. In America, "Homeland" is a neuter word. In German, however, the word is translated as "Vaterland" (Fatherland), while in Russian, the word is "Rodina" (Motherland). In both cases, these words can be translated into the English neuter word—"homeland." There is no precedent for the use of this word "homeland" in the United States Government. This new agency will also operate "with extralegal authority." It will then be able to act under suspension of habeas corpus and under suspension of the right against self- incrimination, the Fifth Amendment privilege, and also the Fourth Amendment privilege. That power will be in its charter—it can act in an extra-legal authority, in certain cases, where the security of the "homeland" is "threatened." The Bush Administration is essentially laying the foundation for a whole new classification of law. That's why, in his speech, Bush purposely never used the words "national security." He did this deliberately so as not to confuse the two. With this new agency, the seeds are being sown for a new classification of law that will most likely be called "Homeland Security Law." Nobody knows what it will be called yet. But this is obviously what they're doing. Anyone, who knows the Bushes for what they are, can see that this will be the groundwork for a new, more powerful, more sinister agency, wherein all sorts of covert activity, illegal and not, will be extant. In order to take the concept of "illegal" covert activity away, they are laying the foundation for a whole new separate body of law that will be parallel to, but above, the National Security Acts. The Office of Homeland Security will be a separate agency, not under any other agency, not even under the Department of Justice. It will be the most senior agency in the Cabinet. It will probably fall somewhere between the Department of State and the Department of Defense, or somewhere between Treasury and Defense. In terms of authority, it will be called a "Super Agency," which implies it will not be under anyone. It will act as a coordinating agency, but will be above the FBI, CIA, NSA, and DIA. This will, of course, create a whole new set of turf war battles. But no agency head–in this post-WTC environment–will dare say anything against it because he'd lose his job. Ridge will most likely be a political figurehead. He was probably given this job as political payback for Bush. It hasn't been decided yet, but one of the names that has been mentioned (and I certainly hope it doesn't happen) is Barry McCaffrey. If they put that old Nazi in charge, watch out! Meanwhile back in the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, there was a large party of old generals visiting from the Department of Defense and everybody was laughing. They're all interested in seeing what corporations will be getting the new contracts. With that in mind, the Al Martin Raw website will remain vigilant to see who gets all the new contracts to create this new agency. These will be contracts not only for a whole new office building, but the furniture as well as contracts for electronic components, surveillance equipment, weapons, etc. Let's see which corporations get these contracts, how many shares the Bush family trust has in these corporations, and how much money the so- called "winning" bidders contribute to right-wing think tanks and institutes. The Office of Homeland Security will have its own helicopters. Even the FBI doesn't have its own helicopters, but has to borrow them from the GSA pool. The Department of Justice doesn't have any of its own helicopters either. The new Office of Homeland Security helicopters will be painted a matte black and have digitized red lettering that says State Security, dark tinted windows, and numerous aerials and dishes with a big searchlight on the front. Bell Helicopters is supposed to get the new contract to produce this new super- surveillance helicopter. Supposedly, they'll have the most sophisticated surveillance electronics ever made. This equipment will include gear that people don't even know has been invented yet. It can't happen here? Watch out for jackboots and swagger sticks . . . Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Gość: Yidele Anthrax strain originated in US IP: *.budimex.com.pl 02.11.01, 20:00 Friday November 2, 3:42 PM Anthrax strain originated in US: French researcher The anthrax attacks which have claimed four lives in the United States originated from a strain isolated by the US military and sold on to laboratories worldwide, a French researcher claimed. Professor Michele Mock, an anthrax specialist at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, said: "Everything points to the fact that we are looking at a unique strain, the Ames type, one of the most virulent of the various strains of anthrax bacillus existing in the world". In an interview published in the daily Aujourd'hui/Le Parisien, Mock said experts at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, had "reached this conclusion following genetic analysis on the strain found on the first victim, in Florida". She said the Ames bacillus, named after the town in Iowa where the strain was first isolated in cattle in 1950, was among the most dangerous anthrax types in existence. The strain was discovered in a US military laboratory in Ames, the spores were isolated and then sold on "to very numerous public and private laboratories which wanted to add it to their collections," said Mock. "As virulent as the Vollum strain, more dangerous than the Stern strain, Ames swiftly kills the organism which it invades, but does respond to classic antibiotics," she stressed. The French researcher said that the Pasteur Institute where she works had created a vaccine which works on mice contaminated with the anthrax strain. "Up to now we haven't had a lot of offers" from the biochemical industry, "because no one thought the disease was a threat to humans," she said, adding that it was now possible to begin toxicity tests on humans. Anthrax claimed its fourth victim Wednesday when a New York woman succumbed to the pulmonary version of the infection, while spores of the bacteria were found for the first time beyond the east coast at a postal facility in Kansas City, Missouri, in the US heartland. Missouri is the fifth state to be hit with anthrax, joining New York, New Jersey, Florida and the District of Columbia in the dubious distinction. US Federal law enforcement authorities have admitted they are no closer to finding the source of the anthrax that claimed its first fatality October 5, when a Florida photo editor succumbed to the inhaled strain of the diseased spores.

Gość: Yidele Powdered Donuts banned !! - will this horror stop? IP: *.budimex.com.pl 02.11.01, 20:02 Livingston acts on scare Doughnut residue alarms county worker, spurs ban Saturday, October 27, 2001 By STEPHENIE KOEHN NEWS STAFF REPORTER Powdered-sugar doughnuts will be banned from Livingston County government buildings as part of the county's response to bioterrorism. David Domas, chairman of the Livingston County Board of Commissioners, said the ban is no joke. He will send a memo to department heads next week requesting that the doughnuts and powdery substances such as sugar substitutes and coffee creamers be stricken from the menu at employees' coffee urns. He said he decided to seek the ban after a recent incident in which a county employee found a white powdery substance on the floor and called 911. The substance was determined to be powdered sugar from someone's morning doughnut, but the ban will become part of Livingston County's bioterrorism preparedness and response plan, which will be outlined for the public at 7 p.m. Monday in the Howell High School auditorium, Domas said. "The already established countywide plan is being refined to bring it current with the needs of this most recent emergency," Domas said, referring to the Sept. 11 attacks and anthrax infections that have sprung up since the incident. County officials have investigated several false alarms in that time, from chalk on a driveway to silica powder in a shoe box. But Livingston County Health Department Director Dr. Richard Thoune said they'd rather investigate numerous false alarms than miss one real incident because someone didn't call. Washtenaw County 911 also has experienced a flurry of calls, said spokeswoman Denise Wirtz. Emergency management officials there updated the county's Emergency Management Division Web site to include information on bioterrorism and emergency response, Wirtz said. The address is: www.co.washtenaw.mi.us. Choose "departments," and then "emergency management." Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

yidele Life & time of Imad Mughniyeh - kidnap mastermind 04.11.01, 20:41 Mughniyeh – Linked to Arafat 4 November: On February 9, the Washington magazine US News & World Report ran a cover story captioned: Hostage to Terror, What the US Can Do The face on the cover was that of American Professor Robert Polhill, who was kidnapped January 24 in Beirut, by a master of terror named in print for the first time in that article: Imad Mughniyeh. One particular paragraph of that spine-chilling expose sheds a harsh light on the fate of Mugniyeh’s victims: Intelligence sources have told U.S.News that some of the hostages (American and European), when first captured, are brought to a sound-proofed basement of a building in Dahya where they are blindfolded and chained to their beds. It is only after they have been held for some time that the blindfolds are removed and the hostages are allowed to stretch their legs. When they are transported to different locations, it is done secretly: Some have even been carried in trunks and cardboard boxes. Inevitably, most of the decisions regarding the hostages in Dahya are made by one man. His name, sources say, is Imad Mughniyeh, a Palestinian Shiite with close ties to Iran. This name struck the intelligence community like a thunderbolt - especially when the writer went on to uncover new aspects of that Palestinian Shiite’s trail of terror: the Beirut hostage-taking dramas of the 1980s, the bombings and other atrocities, notably the devastating explosion at the US embassy in Beirut in April 1983, in which 63 Americans died and the entire top rank of the CIA’s Middle East-Persian Gulf department, 29 officers in all, were massacred, including the brilliant Middle East desk chief Robert Ames. The article carried two striking revelations: The US embassy was not ravaged by a truck-bomb as reported then and since, but by a bomb planted on the floor above the conference room in which the CIA officers assembled. intelligence sources disclose for the first time, 19 years after the event, that two minutes after the CIA chiefs took their seats in that room, the explosive charge was detonated by remote control. The second revelation shows up a little-known facet of Mughniye’s murky past: Up until 1982, when he burst on the Shiite terrorist world of Beirut, Mughniye was a member of Yasser Arafat’s personal guard, Force 17, when the Fatah group was one of the fiercest warring militias of the savage Lebanese civil war. The embassy bombing must have been executed with the help of an inside informer or a mole. So secret was the top-level CIA conference that only a trusted insider would have known enough to give its timing away to the bomber. That insider had to have pre-knowledge of the meeting and be present in the building to signal the outside detonator. That was one of many clues to how deeply US intelligence was penetrated. That problem was not attacked, any more than the terror menace that began sprouting then. Instead, after suffering a series of terror strikes, Washington turned its back and ordered the US Marines and other Americans to leave war- torn Lebanon and go home. Switching fast forward to early 1996, 1997 and 1998 intelligence sources discover intelligence building up in the Middle East and the US on operational relations developing between Mughniyeh and the young Saudi Islamic firebrand Osama Bin Laden, on the one hand, and between Mugniyeh and his erstwhile boss Arafat, on the other. From March 1997 on, US and Israeli intelligence discover the collaboration between the Palestinian Shiite and the Saudi fundamentalist deepening. Mughniyeh’s hand is detected in setting up the 1998 US embassy bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. Then on October 7, 2000, ten days after Yasser Arafat launched his intifada confrontation with Israel, three Israeli soldiers were snatched while patrolling the Israel-Lebanese frontier. This week, after a year of cruel suspense and a hopeless quest for some sign from the missing men, the bereaved families received formal notice from the IDF’s chief chaplain that the men were judged dead in action, no longer missing without trace. Three weeks after the soldiers were abducted last October, a civilian, Elhanan Tannenboim, described in the media as a Mossad agent, was abducted , reported at the time that Mughniyeh masterminded the four abductions, added subsequently that he had handed the three bodies and the live civilian over to Bin Laden’s people. Proof positive of the links between the three terror masters led to the targeted killing on February 13, 2001, of the Palestinian Col. Masoud Ayad, a senior operation officer of Arafat’s Force 17, in the southern Gaza Strip. Five days later, after he was cut down in a missile attack by Israeli choppers, explained why Ehud Barak, then prime minister, had decided to target Ayad. Late in May, 2000, four months before he launched his uprising, Arafat sent Ayad to Beirut on a mission to Lebanon. He was instructed to organize the purchase from the Shiite extremist Hizballah of a quantity of weapons and to recruit their experts in suicide bombings and mortars as instructors for Palestinian terrorists. Shortly after the intifada erupted, smuggled weapons began to flow from Lebanon to Palestinian areas, and the imported Hizballah instructors were soon at work in the Gaza Strip and later on the West Bank, under the protection of the various Palestinian Authority security services. Col. Ayad was the linchpin of Arafat’s Hizballah project, which vastly enhanced the scope and deadliness of Palestinian terror. On his trips to Lebanon, he made a beeline for the big Palestinian refugee camp, Ein Hilweh near Tyre in South Lebanon, rather than the Beirut headquarters of the Hizballah secretary general, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah. His reason was discovered later: One of Mughniyeh’s two main Lebanon cells operates secretly at Ein Hilweh; the second at Nahar al Badar in the north. Arafat Knew of Abductions In the course of the desperate search for the bodies of its three abducted soldiers, Israeli intelligence investigators came upon intelligence evidence that Col. Ayad knew of Mughniyeh’s plot to kidnap the Israelis and was in fact an active accomplice. It was he who carried Mughniyeh’s agents’ request to Palestinian intelligence for a detailed account of the scene at the Shaaba Farms frontier sector. Col. Ayad would never made this or any move without reporting to Yasser Arafat, who must therefore have been aware of Mughniyeh’s plan, at least in outline. Of late, Israel discovered - and passed the information to Washington by foreign minister Peres - that segments of Hizballah’s front line on the Israeli border, especially in the Shaaba Farms area, have passed to the direct control of Mughniyeh’s men. Just as the Palestinian Shiite terrorist never let the Hizballah into the secret of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers, he does not intend letting them know next time he strikes against Israel. Part of the intelligence Peres conveyed to Washington relates to Mughniyeh’s plans to kidnap more Israeli soldiers and civilians, kill some and hold some hostage in the same conditions as he held the American and Western hostages in Beirut in the 1980s. One of the British prime minister Tony Blair’s tasks in Damascus last week was to ask President Bashar Assad to rein in Mughniyeh’s men and especially along the Lebanese frontier. But Assad refused. The Bush administration’s decision to add three Palestinian groups, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the Hamas and the Jihad Islami to the list of terrorist groups and impound their bank accounts, is a forward step in the global assault on terrorism, but the war agains Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

yidele Prospect of Bush-Arafat Handshake Is Far from Firm 04.11.01, 20:45 Prospect of Bush-Arafat Handshake Is Far from Firm An Analysis 4 November: As part of a fresh policy posture on the Middle East, President George W. Bush is reported to be preparing to receive Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for a long-awaited first encounter on the occasion of the UN General Assembly session next week. US, European, Palestinian and Israeli sources report that Bush or Secretary of State Colin Powell will deliver a policy statement at the session, announcing US support for the creation of a viable Palestinian state. The Bush administration will not be breaking new ground. In 1997, when Binyamin Netanyahu was Israeli prime minister, President Clinton publicly committed the United States to supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state. He not only shook Arafat by the hand, as Bush may do, but he and Hillary hugged and kissed the Arafats on a number of occasions. Yet after he left office, Clinton accused Arafat of being the cause of his presidency ending in fiasco. His successor will therefore tread more carefully. According to sources close to the White House and the National Security Council, the president is not proposing to unveil a new Middle East plan or a formula for solving the Israel-Palestinian conflict. In any case, the United States, European diplomats and even Israel foreign minister Shimon Peres, Arafat’s co-Nobel Peace Prize laureate, have failed to bring the Palestinian leader round to the slightest letup in the wall of terror with which he has engulfed the region for 14 months. One high-placed UN source told: He won’t give an inch – not even a clue to his intentions. Everyone has tried without success to talk him round – German foreign minister Joschke Fischer, European Union foreign executive Javier Solana, even British prime minister Tony Blair. He turned them all down and practically laughed in their faces. The only thing he would say- in the hearing of Blair – was that he objected to Osama bin Laden’s every word and action, which is more than any other Arab or Muslim leader dares say out loud. On Friday, November 2, at a Middle East economic cooperation conference on the Spanish resort island of Marbella, Peres tried to tempt Arafat into lowering the level of violence by offering a fast Israeli troop pullout from Ramallah. Israel forces withdrew from Bethlehem and Beit Jala last week. Ramallah is one of the remaining five Palestinian towns the Israeli army is holding on to since Palestinian terrorists assassinated the Tourism Minister on October 17. Arafat’s answer was not slow in coming. That same night, his Tanzim militiamen shot dead an Israeli soldier, Raz Mintz, 19, from Kiryat Motskin, and injured the soldier with him at a roadblock north of Ramallah. By that incident, the Palestinian leader administered a calculated brushoff to the Israeli foreign minister and his attempt to do a deal. As for President Bush, he cannot hope to achieve more in Middle East peace currency by meeting Arafat than did Bill Clinton. The encounter is rather intended to provide a photo op with Arafat in order to ease America’s difficulties in mustering Arab and Muslim support for the increasingly unclear US war moves in Afghanistan. The Europeans are keen on this meeting, believing it has the power to still the anger in the Muslim world over US-UK bombing raids over Afghanistan and the loss of civilian life. However, it is very doubtful that Arab and Muslim leaders will be so easily mollified. In the view of experts on terror, a Bush-Arafat handshake, rather than easing Bush’s difficulties, will serve to weaken Arafat and enhance bin Laden’s standing in the eyes of the Muslim masses. Arafat and bin Laden in their separate arenas are both at war with America and Israel. Arafat adamantly refuses to abate by an iota his campaign of terror, turning away all the supplicants knocking on his door, because he fears that if he slows down, bin Laden will outperform him. The Palestinian leader is determined that he – not bin Laden - will go down in Islamic history as the supreme leader of the war to liberate Jerusalem from the Jews. Hence his speech last week claiming for himself and the Palestinian struggle the role of authentic al Qaeda. Hence too Bin Laden’s riposte. In a videotaped statement aired on Al Jazeera television Saturday, November 3, the al Qaeda leader condemned as hypocrites and infidels those claiming to be Arab leaders who cooperate with the United Nations. “The United Nations is a tool of crime”, he thundered, because it stands aside from Muslim suffering, especially in Kashmir. But the world body’s gravest crime, in the Saudi terrorist’s view, was its resolution to partition Palestinian in 1947 and “surrender the land of Islam to the Jews.” Bin Laden’s purpose was clearly to cut the Islamic ground from under Arafat’s demand for international observers to monitor his conflict with Israel – or, for that matter, any other settlement he might achieve with “the Jews” in Palestine. Either would prove him a priori an infidel. In the same breath the Saudi renegade linked the Palestinian and Kashmir conflicts, indicating in typical oblique fashion that the India-Israel strategic pact was now in his sights for terror. analysts take this as meaning that bin Laden is already counting the Musharref regime a dead duck. He fully expects it to buckle under the pressure coming from the Pakistan army, military intelligence and the fervent religious and political street opposition to Pakistan’s involvement in the Afghan war on the American side. That will force Washington to fall back on the Indian-Turkish option, with Israel in the background. In his second videotaped speech of the Afghan war, Bin Laden laid down the resistance ideology for this eventuality, scripting the Muslim masses’ uprising against the new US-led alliance and solid stand behind him. This script may well deter Arafat from heading towards New York and the UN General Assembly, or shaking hands with US President Bush, lest he be branded an infidel on both counts. The Islamic epithet-hurling contest between the ex-Saudi and Palestinian terrorist leaders is hardly the appropriate scene for the Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon, who decided Saturday night to call off his trip to the United States and his date with President Bush. He had a more compelling reason to stay away. Ten days ago, he sent Peres to Washington with fresh intelligence for President Bush, US defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld, secretary of state Colin Powell and national security adviser Condaleezza Rice. According to sources, the foreign minister carried information attesting to increasing collaboration between Arafat and one of bin Laden’s top operational associates, the notorious hostage-taker of Beirut, Imad Mughniyeh. (See separate item on this page.) Sharon calculated that if, irrespective of that information, the Bush team is still bent on appeasing Arafat, then he might as well opt out of that game too.

yidele ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF TERROR:Al-Qaeda's killing manual 04.11.01, 21:48 By the book: the Encyclopaedia of Jihad is believed to have been the training manual used by Muslim suicide bombers in their attack on New York's World Trade Center ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF TERROR: Revealed: the bloody pages of Al-Qaeda's killing manual Nick Fielding Deadly advice: the book, cribbed from manuals given to secret services throughout the world, covers everythign from assassination tactics to picking civilian terror targets A UNIQUE manual for Islamic terrorists, detailing every aspect of how to fight a guerrilla war, from biochemical attacks to finding the fatal pressure point during hand-to-hand combat, has been obtained by western intelligence agencies. The 7,000-page guide - entitled Encyclopaedia of Jihad - provides an insight into how terrorists from Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network operate in both urban environments and on the battlefield. Filling 11 volumes and circulated both in book form and on CD-Rom to terrorist instructors, it offers guidance on how to inject frozen food with biochemical agents to create mass panic, rig up a door lock to explode when the handle is turned, and bring down a plane with a missile. "This is an amazing document," said Roland Jacquard, head of the World Terrorism Observatory in Paris. "It gives us a very clear idea of what we are up against with Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden's followers throughout the world." The encyclopaedia - extracts of which have been obtained by The Sunday Times - is dedicated to Bin Laden and Abdullah Azzam, a charismatic preacher who was a formative influence on the Saudi terrorist. It distils the experience of 10 years of guerrilla fighting against the Russians in Afghanistan and draws on stolen CIA and special services' handbooks. The most chilling volume is the 11th, which deals with bioterrorism, which is on a separate CD-Rom. It explains how to disperse potentially lethal organisms and poisons, ranging from botulism and viral infections to anthrax and ricin, the highly toxic chemical used on the tip of an umbrella by a Bulgarian secret service agent to kill the dissident Georgy Markov in London in 1978. It details targets such as water and food supplies, and advocates maximising public panic by poisoning medicine, thereby jeopardising treatment of the sick and injured. Sources of biological material include a list of countries that produce anthrax and a training camp in Pakistan where toxins are manufactured. The encyclopaedia was found in 1999 in the home of Khalil Deek when he was arrested in connection with an alleged plot to bomb Jordan's main airport in the capital, Amman, on the eve of the millennium. A university educated computer expert, Deek, who was born in the Israeli- occupied territories, had spent two years in Peshawar, Pakistan, where he told people he was compiling a CD-Rom on the writings of a well-known Muslim preacher. Though he denied being part of the Al-Qaeda network, he shared a bank account with Abu Zubaydah, often described as Bin Laden's chief-of-staff. Despite his connections, Deek was released by the Jordanian authorities in May this year after 17 months in prison. Officials said there was insufficient evidence to charge him, though it is known that he helped to decipher Al-Qaeda computer codes for investigators. Khalil Deek: owned manual Each of the 10 volumes of the main encylopaedia carries a picture showing a belt-fed machinegun standing in a window next to a copy of the Koran. One, on security and intelligence, shows the long-term planning involved in operations, with "sleeper" cells set up years in advance. "The mujahed should be young, so he can start the mission 10 years before the start of the jihad," it states. Surveillance of potential targets - with video cameras, still cameras and mini- microphones - is critical. And targets should be chosen to put pressure on the country to "stop it intervening or creating an obstacle to the jihad", according to Jacquard. They include: Symbolic targets, such as the Statue of Liberty in New York or the Eiffel Tower in Paris, where attacks would cause psychological damage but would be largely victimless; Key infrastructure, such as nuclear power stations, skyscrapers, ports and train stations; Human targets, including stadiums where large numbers of people congregate and, particularly in Arabic countries, influential public figures. The construction of booby- trapped explosive devices that would not be out of place in a James Bond film is explained in minute detail. One page, from the volume on explosives, shows how to turn a packet of cigarettes into a bomb. "Steel plates with electric current are placed on the interior walls of the pack so that when the pack is pressed (such as being stepped on), the plates touch each other and therefore the electric circuit is complete," it states. "This system is normally used in an empty pack thrown in front of the house where the targeted person lives, or just to create chaos in a particular area." It goes on to detail how individual cigarettes can be primed with explosives as well as cigarette lighters, mattresses, chairs and even chocolate bars, toothpaste tubes and hairbrushes. Bin Laden appears on Al-Jazeera TV yesterday against a sacking backdrop to stop geology revealing his whereabouts Another page shows how an envelope can be booby-trapped with a slim lead of C4 explosive, a desk drawer sprung to explode when it is opened, and a barbecue or fireplace prepared to set off a hidden bomb when the fuel is lit. A carefully drawn picture of a motorcycle helmet shows how it can be lined with explosive, then remotely controlled to blow up when the intended victim puts it on. One section shows how to turn cameras into bombs. It was the method used to kill Ahmed Shah Masood, the leading Afghanistan opposition commander, two days before the September 11 attacks. Two Arabs posing as television journalists exploded the bomb in their camera when they interviewed him. The blast killed Masood and one of the terrorists. The other was shot by Masood's bodyguards. Besides analysing how Semtex can be used, the encyclopaedia contains instructions on the ingredients needed to make explosives, including innocuous substances bought from supermarkets. It begins with the basic chemical compounds and then lays out the exact quantities to be combined. One suggestion even includes Nescafé coffee and sugar. "It is clearly the work of someone who is very familiar with chemistry," said one anti-terrorist expert. "It might be hard for a guerrilla in the field to follow the detailed instructions, but they are very accurate." Each volume is comprehensive. In discussing timers, the section on explosives ranges from complex loop, tremor and tilting switches to cruder versions that can be made from mousetraps, clothes pegs or light switches. Unlike other Islamic terrorist manuals, previously revealed in court papers, there is little religious direction in the encyclopaedia. Everything is presented factually, almost every page carries a diagram. At least four of the chapters are devoted to the military, from showing how to create an assault gun in a field forge from metal scavenged from the battlefield to mounting an attack on combat vehicles. Another section covers first aid, including how to prevent blood loss from wounds. Alongside are further diagrams demonstrating how to kill an opponent by pinching pressure points on the back of the neck and the windpipe. The book outlines how bridges can be blown up using conventional military explosives. Last week America was put on high alert over the possibility of attacks on bridges such as the Golden Gate in San Francisco. Other volumes teach typography Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
yidele Re: ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF TERROR:Al-Qaeda's killing manual 04.11.01, 21:56 Other volumes teach typography, map reading and how to use the stars to work out your location. The importance of propaganda and misinformation is outlined, telling operatives of plans to "penetrate certain Arabic papers and also western ones". The aim is to sow trouble and confusion by spreading false rumours. The sophistication of some parts of the manual has alarmed intelligence agencies, which have asked counter-terrorism experts given access to the document not to discuss or release key elements, particularly on bioterrorism. Jacquard believes the document charts how Islamic terrorism has developed over the past decade, expanding beyond conventional, low-technology forms of attack. There are now different types of terrorist. "The first is psychologically and intellectually weak and is used to stage such 'classic' attacks as car bombings, hijackings and kidnappings," he said.

yidele Massive arrests in US. - what's next 04.11.01, 21:52 This article was reported by Washington Post staff writers Amy Goldstein, Marcia Slacum Greene, George Lardner Jr., Hanna Rosin, Lena H. Sun and Cheryl W. Thompson, and was written by Goldstein. Exactly 23 minutes before suspected terrorist plot leader Mohamed Atta acquired a Florida driver's license, a 28-year-old Pakistani gas station attendant got his license renewed at the same motor vehicles' branch. For that reason, Mohammad Mubeen was standing in a tiny courtroom wearing an orange jumpsuit last Monday afternoon, one of more than 1,100 people ensnared in a nationwide hunt for terrorists. In urgent, rapid-fire Urdu, Mubeen pleaded to be released. True, he had entered the United States illegally, he told the judge through a translator. But he said he simply did not know any of the hijackers. Still, the government attorney in the Miami courtroom easily persuaded the judge to hold Mubeen without bond. The lawyer presented a striking legal document that offers insight into both the strategy behind the detentions and a novel legal argument to keep people in custody on the most slender suspicion. Signed by a top international terrorism official at FBI headquarters in Washington, the seven-page document, which has not been previously disclosed, is being used repeatedly by prosecutors in detention hearings across the country. The FBI affidavit explains that "the business of counterterrorism intelligence gathering in the United States is akin to the construction of a mosaic. "At this stage of the investigation, the FBI is gathering and processing thousands of bits and pieces of information that may seem innocuous at first glance. We must analyze all that information, however, to see if it can be fit into a picture that will reveal how the unseen whole operates. . . . What may seem trivial to some may appear of great moment to those within the FBI or the intelligence community who have a broader context." The document's language offers the clearest window so far into a campaign of detentions on a scale not seen since World War II. As investigators race to comprehend the ongoing terrorist threat, the government has adopted a deliberate strategy of disruption Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Gość: Yidele the terror continues IP: *.*.*.* 05.11.01, 16:38 Arafat Will Not Let Palestinian Terror Disappear from World TV Screens 5 November: The inhabitants of north Jerusalem were not surprised by the shooting attack at the key French Hill junction Sunday afternoon, in which two teenagers, Shoshana Ben-Yishai, 16, and Menashe Regev, 14, were killed and dozens injured. The Palestinian gunman from Hebron sprayed automatic M-16 fire on the bus heading for Neve Yaacov and the passengers waiting to board it – until gunned down himself by two border police patrolling nearby. This pattern, seen before at the same crowded Jerusalem junction, has become a recurring one in the last few weeks, with Palestinian gunmen shooting indiscriminately at bus queues in downtown Afula and Hadera. Sometimes one group takes “credit”, sometimes another, but the pattern is an overall one that is plotted at the highest level of the Palestinians Authority. For more than a fortnight now, automatic fire has been heard through most of the day in Jerusalem’s northern districts of Ramat Shelomo, French Hill, Pisgat Zeev and Neve Yaacov. It comes from the adjacent Arab neighborhoods and Palestinian villages. No one explains what is going on. Much of the shooting is heard from the large Jerusalem village of Issawiyeh, which commands French Hill, Mount Scopus (site of the Hebrew University and Hadassah hospital), their approach roads and the heavy traffic moving up and down the Jerusalem-Maaleh Adumim highway at all hours. Although included in municipal Jerusalem, Israeli police officers never venture to go into Issawiyeh without substantial backup. Limited searches have turned up assorted arsenals of deadly weapons in every home, including heavy machine guns. A similar situation prevails in Issawiyeh’s northern neighbor Sheofat-East, where Hizballah and Hamas flags fly undisturbed over homes around the mosque and the school. Every night, automatic weapons rattle and flash at the “Coca Cola” junction between Sheofat-East and the north Jerusalem road junction attacked Sunday afternoon, no more than half a kilometer away. The highway linking French Hill and Ramot has seen two deadly drive-by shootings in recent months. The police failed to apprehend most of the Beit Hanina squad responsible. Palestinian spotters are repeatedly observed out on the crags overlooking the highway and wandering through the Jewish areas of north Jerusalem. intelligence sources shed light on the fragile security situation in the northern half of Jerusalem. Until six months ago, Jibril Rajub, head of the West Bank Preventive Security service, and his men controlled the Jerusalem area. Israeli authorities, including foreign minister Shimon Peres and perhaps also the Shin Beit, as well as the European diplomats who busy themselves with the conflict, pinned high hopes on Rajub as a positive Palestinian force capable of reining in Palestinian violence. However, in recent weeks, Rajub and his men were displaced in the sector by the wild elements run by his rival, Tawfiq Tirawi, Palestinian General Intelligence Chief in the West bank, who is Yasser Arafat’s senior terror master. Tirawi has taken over most of Jerusalem including the Old City and Temple Mount. He is under orders to keep the level of terrorism high in Israel’s capital city. Arafat’s blueprint is plain: Forced under US and European pressure to reduce the heat in Bethlehem and Beit Jala, to the south of Jerusalem, he turns it at the northern end of the city – but not only there. Largely unreported, the Palestinian have ringed fresh targets in the western Negev inside Israel. For the last few days, Palestinian firing positions in Gaza have been shelling Israeli towns, villages, kibbutzim and army bases with mortars and the new homemade Palestinian rocket, Kassem-1. This primitive weapon has an effective range of 5 km. Among its targets is the southern Israeli town of Sderot. The last time Sderot was shelled earlier this year, the Israeli army launched a major operation in the northern Gaza Strip and captured the Palestinian town of Beit Hanoun. This time, however, the shelling is not even reported. The Palestinian’s rationale for keeping the violence level high, according to Palestinian sources, is connected with the US war on terror. The New York Times ran an article Sunday explaining that for America to win the Muslims round to supporting its war on terror, the pictures of the Israeli-Palestinian war must disappear from TV screens. That, according to our Palestinian sources, is just the opposite of Arafat’s wishes. He wants those pictures dancing on world television day and night, both to block out the footage devoted to Osama bin Laden and to thwart America’s bid for a Muslim constituency. Since bin Laden began dominating international attention, Arafat has lost interest in gaining points with the American public; now he is fighting for the Muslim street. Palestinian television therefore gloated over the Jihad Islami’s claim to have carried out the French Hill junction assault Sunday, one day after the United States and Britain added that very Palestinian group to their list of illegal terrorist organizations. The broadcast was a deliberate mockery of the two Western powers and their proclaimed war against terror. To underline Palestinian contempt, the Al Aqsa Brigades (a euphemism for the Fatah gangs under Tirawi’s command) circulated a leaflet declaring the “Palestinian masses” would not surrender to the “American planes and tanks operated by Israel”. This sort of locution disappeared from Palestinian propaganda immediately after September 11. Now the Palestinians, riding bin Laden’s coattails, have returned to their triumphalist anti-American slogans. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
yidele Gaza tunnel collapses - 3 dead 05.11.01, 23:52 November 03, 2001 Gaza Tunnel Collapses; 3 Killed GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - An underground tunnel used to smuggle goods into the southern Gaza Strip from Egypt collapsed Saturday, killing three Palestinians inside, Palestinian medical sources and Israeli army officials said. The bodies were pulled from the rubble late Saturday, hours after the collapse in the Rafah refugee camp near the border with Egypt, Palestinian medical sources and police said. It was not immediately clear what caused the cave-in. The Israeli army said the collapse was not due to the demolition of a nearby building Friday night. The army suspected the building, about 200 yards from the tunnel, was being used by Palestinian snipers to fire on Israeli border patrols. It was felled by bulldozers, not explosives, the army said. Palestinian security officials in Rafah said the tunnel was used to smuggle food and cigarettes from Egypt to Gaza and had been destroyed three times before by Palestinian authorities. The army said the tunnel was used to smuggle weapons and drugs. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Gość: Yidele Torture Warrants? O tempora! O Mores!! IP: *.budimex.com.pl 06.11.01, 17:26 U.S. now might have to consider what once was unthinkable, Dershowitz says By Tina Hesman Of The Post-Dispatch 11/04/2001 06:07 AM Americans may have to consider ideas as foreign as truth serums and torture warrants when thinking about striking a balance between liberty and security after the terrorist attacks Sept. 11. That was the message celebrity lawyer and civil libertarian Alan M. Dershowitz delivered to a crowd packed into a gymnasium Sunday at the Jewish Community Center in Creve Coeur. Dershowitz was the opening speaker for the Jewish Book Fair. He originally was scheduled to talk about his book "Supreme Injustice," a critical account of the Supreme Court's ruling on the presidential election last year. But Dershowitz instead turned his comments to civil liberties. "I'm not in the mood to start being critical of the legitimacy of the president at a time like this," he said. Dershowitz said he always supported the philosophy that it was better to let criminals go free than to unjustly detain innocent people. But he suggested that terrorist acts should make civil rights activists readjust their thinking on some issues. The American Civil Liberties Union nearly revoked his membership for suggesting that national identity cards should be required, he said. The cards would carry basic information - a person's name and Social Security number - and a picture, he proposed. Law enforcement officials and security workers could request to see the cards to verify the identity of a person at any time, he said. The civil libertarians are opposed to such a measure because they say it would violate the right to privacy. Dershowitz counters that the measure does not violate privacy rights but does take away a guarantee of anonymity that terrorists have used to their advantage. It's time to reassess laws and decide how to deal with situations that may arise when dealing with terrorists, he said. Legislators should evaluate and revise quarantine laws before a wholesale bioterrorism attack strikes the United States, he said, calling the current anthrax attacks "retail bioterrorism." Americans need to consider what measures should be allowed to get information from unwilling terror suspects, he said. After law enforcement officials have asked, begged, cajoled, threatened and bribed a close-mouthed witness, they may need to take more drastic measures to elicit vital information, Dershowitz said. Americans should begin thinking about whether it would be permissible to grant the suspect immunity from prosecution and then administer truth serum. Even torture may not be off the table as an information-gathering tool, Dershowitz said. But there must be a national debate about the circumstances in which torture is permissible and who should have the power to decide when to use it. Dershowitz suggested that judges could issue torture warrants in certain cases. Americans must plan their approach to these disquieting issues carefully and not allow the basic values of the country to erode, he said. "If Osama bin Laden comes out with a white flag, we'd darned well better arrest him. We're still a country under the rule of law," Dershowitz said. Dershowitz, a professor from Harvard who has been called the lawyer of last resort, said that even he wouldn't take bin Laden's case. "That's not a call I want to get." Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Original PDF: http://cryptome.org/alqaida-game.pdf (70KB) [10 pages.] DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS, inc. D S S I M E T A T E M P O : S U R V I V I N G G L O B A L I Z A T I O N AL- QAIDA’S ENDGAME? ____________________________________________ A STRATEGIC SCENARIO ANALYSIS ____________________________________________ 2 NOVEMBER, 2001 DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS, INC. INFO@METATEMPO.COM HTTP://WWW.METATEMPO.COM ______________________________________________ COPYRIGHT 2001. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DSSi’s strategic scenario analysis regarding Al-Qaida’s endgame leads to the following conclusions about the real current events: The ‘network of networks’ known as Al-Qaida has successfully laid a trap for the United States. Al-Qaida retains the initiative and the U.S. is operating ‘inside the intentions and plans’ of Al-Qaida Al-Qaida cannot destroy the U.S. forces inside the U.S., nor can it convince the U.S. to leave the Middle East using terror attacks. The intention of the terror attacks is a provocation to force the U.S. to engage and deploy forces to the Middle East, where such forces could be destroyed The intention and purpose of Al-Qaida’s plans are either to make the Middle East ‘ungovernable,’ or to gain control of the petroleum production system in the region. Application of the ‘oil weapon’ could be used to attempt to force withdrawal of U.S. presence in the region; outright destruction of the petroleum production system would leave the U.S. with no or greatly reduced real interests in the region Control or destruction of the petroleum production system in the Middle East, and the potential for attacks on global petroleum production, would transform the political situation in the region, initiate a global depression by degrading or destroying critical industries of developing and advanced Nation- States, and drastically shift the geopolitical balance ABOUT THIS ANALYSIS The following analysis is the product of DSSi’s strategic analysis team using scenario planning to make sense of the current situation and the ‘war on terrorism.’ During the course of exploring future scenarios, past events acquired meaning, and the direction of the conflict as desired by Al-Qaida began to make sense. Because of national security implications for the U.S., this material is being made available to assist the public in understanding the significance of the unfolding events. While the terrorist attacks of 11 September, 2001 were horrific, the consequences of success for Al-Qaida in their probable objective have the potential to destroy much of what are considered the benefits and functions of industrialized Nation-States. Taking Osama bin Laden at his word, that he wants the U.S. out of the Middle East, and his desire for the destruction of the West, the stakes are greater even than massive fatalities by terrorist attack. That such ambitions are achievable were part of the conclusions of DSSi scenarios. WHAT IS AL-QAIDA? “This world is the prison of the believers and the paradise of the unbelievers.” –Islamic saying It is critical to understand, and not to underestimate, the ‘network of networks’ that is the World Islamic Front, of which Al-Qaida is the most well- known component: The World Islamic Front is composed of Osama bin Laden’s Al-Qaida, Al Jihad, the Islamic Group, Jamaat ul Ulema e Pakistan, the Moslem Brotherhood, components of the ‘black’ (operational) network from the defunct Bank of Credit and Commerce Inc. (BCCI), and elements of Abu Nidal’s terrorist organization The stated purpose, supported by their operations, is to remove the U.S. from Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and if possible, the world arena The Arab ‘core’ of Al-Qaida follow a radical form of Wahhabism, which is already a highly puritanical form of Islam. This group believes in the ‘war of civilizations’— Western culture is an ‘attack’ on Islamic law and morality, and Islam must be protected from the potential of corruption. The U.S. is the most successful of Western cultures, and is viewed as the Great Satan, the enemy of God and humanity The interpretation of the Qur’an (114:4-5) supporting much of this action is the need to defend against the “mischief of the slinking prompter, who whispers in the hearts of men.” The ‘House of Islam’ (Dar al-Islam) is viewed to be in a struggle with the ‘House of War’ (Dar al-Harb), typified in the Egyptian radical Islamic thought as “al-kufru millatun wahida” or “unbelief is one nation.” All of the West is a ‘legitimate target’ and there are no non- combatants (only Moslems as defined by the core group, and non-Moslems). Islamic Nation-States and Moslem citizens are not immune—those ‘pure in faith’ will be ‘afflicted’ or tempted by the freedoms the West has to offer, but the “thief does not bother entering a ruined house” (al-Jawahir al-Hisan). Individual Moslems and Islamic Nation-States that are ‘corrupted’ will have departed the faith into apostasy, and are thus in Dar al-Harb. This includes such Nation-States as Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as any members of the U.S. coalition—both the U.S. and Al-Qaida have a ‘black and white’ view of the world as being ‘with us or against us’ Osama bin Laden has a number of viable ‘role models’ from the history of the Middle East, including Saladin and the Assassins. For example, Saladin (the enormously successful commander during the Crusades) wrote in a letter to the Caliph in Baghdad that “European merchants supply the best weaponry, contributing to their own defeat.” This is similar to Lenin’s famous comment that “the Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.” Also from the Crusade era are the Ismaili sect known to history as the Assassins. The Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood has used the term “Fida’iyan-I Islam” or “Devotees of Islam,” which was used by Ismaili emissaries during the Crusades. The Assassins were patient, and used ‘sleeper’ agents to infiltrate, become trusted, and undertake suicide strikes on command The methods of Al-Qaida ‘operatives’ or terrorists have been highly motivated, skilled, creative, resourceful, and courageous. Use of what the West considers to be its strengths (openness, freedom) against itself is a common feature of attacks. The scope and scale of attacks show the ambitious nature of the organization, and the approach of “by any means necessary”. Operations are clearly planned out in detail—discussion of such operations is likely a primary feature of life among Al-Qaida, and the understanding that feeds such planning is focused and extremely complex (bin Laden is said to have a detailed map of the Middle East painted in his living quarters, with U.S. positions and installations marked; this is both a planning tool and a means to visualize what he’s after, i.e. removal of those markings). Al-Qaida is a student of history, learns from its own actions (both successes and failures), and has at least two decades of dealing with the West in various ways UNDERSTANDING THE PAST To understand the current and future events, it is necessary to realize that this ‘game’ has be Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: Yidele Re: Al-Qaida’s endgame IP: *.budimex.com.pl 08.11.01, 19:19 UNDERSTANDING THE PAST To understand the current and future events, it is necessary to realize that this ‘game’ has been going on already for a number of years. Only considering the events from 11 September 2001 does not provide adequate scope of how the conflict has evolved: 1993: World Trade Center bombed. Attacks on U.S. military mission in Somalia 1995: Open letter from bin Laden to Saudi Arabia’s King Fahd 1996: Osama bin Laden declared jihad (struggle) against U.S. 1998: World Islamic Front established, uniting for a common purpose the survivors of decades of struggle. U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania bombed 2000: U.S.S. Cole bombed 2001: 9 September assassination of Ahmad Shah Masoud. 11 September attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Possible on-going use of anthrax Al-Qaida’s terrorist attacks are not ‘thrill kills’—they have a purpose. Terrorist behavior, as with most individuals, is anticipatory—actions will be taken in anticipation of their results. If the results achieved are not what was desired, then different strategies and tactics are tried. Prior to 2001, Al-Qaida attacked three different sorts of ‘target profiles’— civilian, diplomatic, and military targets—all without ‘success’ in achieving their purpose. It could be argued that “the attacks were the message,” and that mass casualties was the intention; shifting the target profile would then appear to be a demonstration of capabilities, range, and creativity. This does not fit well with the current ‘controlled escalation’ profile of Al-Qaida attacks, nor with their own stated purpose. The other primary reason, and the one assumed by DSSi to assess Al-Qaida strategically, coincides with their own statements that they are attempting to force the U.S. into engaging them on their terms (it should be reasonable to take bin Laden at his word—while he doesn’t issue statements directly related to attacks, his comments at other times are related, and ambitious enough to be considered). 11 September 2001 saw massive casualties inflicted largely on the civilian population inside the U.S. homeland. Al-Qaida now has the U.S. attention, the U.S. has responded as they intended, and events are moving along the course they planned out. Why the necessity of forcing U.S. engagement in the region? Al-Qaida can not ‘win’ in the U.S. Beating the U.S. on its home territory would require massive conventional attacks or use of weapons of mass destruction, which Al- Qaida may be unable or unwilling (because of the possibility for immediate U.S. reprisals with its own weapons of mass destruction) to utilize at this point. The U.S. is also incredibly resourceful, technologically adept, in possession of vast material resources, and resilient psychologically. It is also not possible to effect a mass transformation of U.S. public or political opinion through the use of terrorist attacks, quite the opposite in fact. Comparison to the Afghanistan-Soviet conflict does not ‘mesh’ well because of the terrorism angle—the success against Soviet forces occurred when they were drawn into Afghanistan, not fought on Soviet territory. The Chechnya model must be considered—terrorist attacks in Moscow led to reprisal military action. This leads to the clear argument that the terrorist attacks have all along been intended to force U.S. engagement in the region, where U.S. forces deployed could in fact be destroyed. The more forces deployed, the more that can be destroyed, the better the result from Al-Qaida’s viewpoint. Future terrorist attacks on a massive scale would lead directly to such deployments of U.S. forces, particularly if the war can be widened—encouraging the U.S. to engage in massive military operations against regional Nation-States, such as has been discussed by U.S. strategic planners. Destruction of U.S. forces on this scale would have a dramatic adverse effect on overall U.S. national security as well as the geopolitical balance of power. What is the evidence that the U.S. is acting as Al-Qaida predicted, and continues to function in ways for which Al-Qaida has planned? The most significant indicator is the 9 September 2001 assassination of Ahmad Shah Masoud, only two days before the attacks in the U.S. Given the level of planning that went into both operations, the assassination and the terror attacks, the timing cannot be viewed as a coincidence. Looking at the result of the Masoud assassination is helpful. Afghanistan, the known ‘home’ of Al-Qaida, is largely an Islamic warrior culture. U.S. operations in the past made the response to 11 September 2001’s attacks predictable—Desert Shield/Storm, missile attacks on Afghanistan and the Sudan, the air war over Kosovo. Coalitions, alliances with indigenous forces on the ground, use of ‘over the horizon’ weapons, reluctance to commit troops and suffer casualties, etc. are hallmarks of U.S. military operations. The assassination of Masoud removed the most likely single strong individual capable of providing leadership and a post- Taliban government. Not being able to stabilize the situation, the U.S. would be forced to continue active engagement over a longer period than it would normally like, and which would have been achievable had Masoud been available. The U.S.’s ‘proxy’ on the ground, the Northern Alliance, and ‘ally’ Pakistan, particularly the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, have also likely been penetrated by loyalists to the Taliban and Al-Qaida, as the execution of Abdul Haq on 26 October 2001 indicates. Haq’s capture and execution, within roughly twelve hours of entering Taliban-controlled areas, could only have been accomplished through unbelievable luck or good intelligence. The ISI has had close ties to the Taliban and Al-Qaida, close ties in the past to the ‘black’ network of BCCI, and has recently had key individuals removed because of concerns regarding their relationships. A great deal of preparation has gone into overt and covert control of the region, clearly with the foreknowledge of U.S. operations. Since the U.S. has not deviated from its ‘standard operating procedure,’ then the events unfolding were, predicted, planned, and prepared for by Al-Qaida. ANTHRAX ATTACKS Still unknown is whether or not Al-Qaida is behind the anthrax attacks in the U.S. Some argument has been made that, given the target profile, it is more probable that U.S. domestic terrorists are the perpetrators. This is a questionable conclusion—the timing makes no sense, nor do the targets. If domestic terrorists had the sophistication and capabilities, why choose now to strike, when the U.S. is mobilized against such actions? There is a motivation possible for Al-Qaida that makes sense within the assumptions discussed so far. During Desert Shield/Storm, there was a great reluctance to engage in military operations from the ‘Left’ in the U.S. One of the most certain ways to convert ‘doves’ to ‘hawks’ is to personally target them in attacks. If such an attack is successful, the ‘dove’ is dead and out of the political picture; if such an attack fails, their viewpoint has shifted dramatically. Attacks such as the one on U.S. Senate Majority Leader Daschle have galvanized the political left. The mass of political opinion is now momentum toward military action—pushing operations faster than appropriate, moving faster than intelligence can be supplied, and silencing voices that might urge a more cautious approach.

Gość: Yidele Re: Al-Qaida’s endgame IP: *.budimex.com.pl 08.11.01, 19:24 Attacks on the media create ‘feedback’ in the media cycle—coverage all out of proportion with the events, and ‘the story is the story.’ Targeted media outlets are also directed at serving the U.S. ‘grassroots’ population (such as the tabloid publisher), which feeds the political cycle through polling. The anthrax attacks have additional benefits from the perspective of an attacker such as Al-Qaida: They use a strength of the U.S. against itself, the postal delivery system They provide a distraction from other potential planned mass terror attacks, and deplete the resources used to prevent such attacks They provide a proof of a weapon of mass destruction capability They test the response and capabilities of the U.S., perhaps aiding in selection of future attacks for effectiveness An anomaly in the use of anthrax by Al-Qaida can be seen if one understands the history of terrorist operations. ‘No retreat’ operations—hijackings, hostage situations—led to the development of improved security measures and crisis management forces (commando teams). ‘No contact’ operations evolved in response— explosive devices on airplanes, hand-grenades into crowds, etc. ‘No survivor’ operations have evolved because of improved security measures—suicide bombers, and the terrorists of 11 September 2001—where a human mind is necessary to accomplish the mission. Al-Qaida has preferred to use ‘no survivor’ operations, while the anthrax attacks are clearly ‘no contact’ in approach. Whether undertaken by Al-Qaida, sponsored by Al-Qaida, or conducted by an unknown third- party, they do contribute to the momentum of the U.S. toward massive military action in the Middle East. Analysis of the anthrax agent used is contributing to the view of the super-’hawks’ that want to extend the conflict to include Iraq—Iraq is identified as one of the possible sources of the anthrax agent, many strategic planners in the U.S. feel Iraq is ‘unfinished business,’ and bin Laden’s comments about the suffering of the Iraqi people have helped move events in such a direction. UNGOVERNABILITY, CONTROL, AND DESTRUCTION DSSi’s strategic scenario analysis of possible directions of future events leads in three primary directions: ungovernability, control of the petroleum production system, and destruction of the petroleum production system. The three approaches are in fact serial, and can be viewed as successive ‘fall- back’ strategies. Ungovernability. A deadly variation on Gandhi’s approach in convincing the British to leave India. Gandhi used “non-violent confrontational non- cooperation”—the people of India could not be governed without their consent. Gandhi himself became a symbol of what Indians aspired to be like, while at the same time maintaining a connection such that anything the happened to Gandhi happened to all Indians (because of his moral authority, his actions such as fasting or his imprisonment impacted directly on every Indian). U.S. military actions in Afghanistan and possibly in the Middle East could escalate into violence from ‘grassroots Islam,’ which already has much dislike or hatred for the U.S. Such violence could make it impossible for U.S. influence in the region, or interaction such as business, tourism, etc. The U.S. has created ‘brand bin Laden’ by its own statements and actions—bin Laden is now seen as having parity with the U.S. (requiring great effort just to locate and capture/kill him), representing much of the opinion of radical and grassroots Islam, and inspiring future generations of terrorists. While difficult and costly, ungovernability is a long-term strategy that still leaves room for the U.S. to absorb the costs and continually attempt re-entry into the region. Rumors, if true, regarding bin Laden’s ill health (kidney difficulties) may put additional pressure on his planning and timeline—not ‘good news,’ since it means dramatic terrorist actions Control. As discussed, U.S. entry into Afghanistan will become a long-term presence; the potential for pursuit of other targets (such as Iraq), will also act to encourage the U.S. to move significant forces into the region. As in the ‘ungovernable’ scenario, any actions undertaken by the U.S. draw a reaction in the region further polarized opinion against the U.S. Sufficient provocation, such as additional massive terrorist attacks in the U.S., would lead to expanded operations in the Middle East, thus accelerate the destabilization of the region. This is being cast in the region as a ‘war on Islam’ and terror attacks just before or during Ramadan (Islam’s holy month) would leave the U.S. with two equally bad choices—no reprisals which would look like weakness, or reprisal attacks which could be spun as evidence of the ‘war on Islam.’ Attacks in the U.S. are viewed favorably by much of grassroots Islam, while attacks in the region are viewed as evidence of U.S. imperialism. Key petroleum production Nation-States, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the collection of the United Arab Emirates, are already viewed as corrupt, weak, and un-Islamic. Every action by the U.S. in the region weakens the position of the ruling families, while also destabilizing Pakistan. Al-Qaida may already control Pakistan’s nuclear weapons (command and control for these weapons is human-centric, and thus susceptible to infiltration or subversion), or could acquire control through overthrowing the destabilized government. Collapse of such Nation-States would leave a ‘power vacuum’ for someone to fill; removal and replacement with Al-Qaida members or supporters in the weak or unstable Nation-States would leave Al-Qaida with control of much of the petroleum production of the region. At roughly the same time, some weapon of mass destruction could be used on U.S. deployed forces. Such a weapon could be nuclear (acquired from Pakistan, Russia, or possibly Iraq), biological, chemical, or radiological. The reason for provocation to encourage massed, clustered U.S. forces is because of the reality of use of weapons of mass destruction—they work best against concentrated groups (the U.S. has limited options for basing forces in the region due to the decay in relationships with various Nation-States), and they must be used wisely since they would have a limited number. Such weapons could be delivered by ground delivery or SCUD (use of anthrax in the U.S. may lead to inaccurate assessment of the SCUD threat—the current anthrax attacks are part of a deception campaign to make U.S. planners later assume the use of biological weapon warheads, when nuclear warheads may well be used against U.S. forces instead). The willingness of Al-Qaida operatives to commit suicide as part of an operation solves many of the limitations assumed in delivery mechanisms. Control of the petroleum production system in the Middle East would allow Al-Qaida to ‘set terms,’ which would clearly include withdrawal from the region. As in the ‘ungovernable’ scenario, such a situation could not be safely continued, since the U.S. would again seek a way to reestablish itself in the region. For this reason, DSSi views the ‘control’ scenario as temporary at best, a transition between making the region ungovernable and the ‘necessity’ for Al-Qaida to attempt to destroy petroleum production systems Destruction.

An analysis of U.S. behavior of intervention and military operations leads one to believe that as long as the U.S. has real interests in a region they will find a way to be involved; conversely, if the U.S. has no real interests in a region (e.g. much of Africa), its involvement will be half- hearted at best. As long as ‘control’ of the petroleum production system remained possible to attempt to retake, the significance of oil to the global economy would continue to encourage the U.S. to so attempt. The only way to remove the U.S. from Saudi Arabia, from the Middle East, and from the world arena, as bin Laden has stated he would like to accomplish, would be through the destruction of the petroleum production system. Al-Qaida’s support and relationships with guerrilla and terrorist organizations around the world may give them the ‘reach’ necessary to launch additional attacks on other petroleum production systems as well (U.S. domestic, Central and South America). This could be accomplished in a number of ways, but three are notable: Conventional. Iraq, as part of their ‘spoiler’ strategy when forced out of Kuwait, managed to destroy many facilities and damage many wellheads. Given the number of individuals trained by Al-Qaida, the dispersed task of destruction of petroleum facilities is not out of the question; plans for such ‘rolling destruction’ date back to World War II, when many production systems were in fact destroyed Nuclear. There are a limited number of strategic positions that a nuclear device could be detonated at as a demolition charge, having three effects: massive radiation exposure of the petroleum system; hydrostatic shockwaves destroying the in-place production systems; hydrostatic shockwaves shifting or destroying the accessibility of petroleum supplies. Again, such devices could be obtained from Pakistan, Russia (which has never adequately accounted for its ‘backpack’ nuclear weapons), or perhaps Iraq (less likely, given the impact on Iraq’s petroleum supplies as well) Nuclear. Osama bin Laden’s recent comments in support of the Palestinian cause may have been for more than generation of popular support, and linking his cause to theirs. It has ‘engaged’ Israel as well. Any conflict in the Middle East would likely draw in the Israelis—unlike in Desert Storm, Ariel Sharon has expressed that Israel will respond to any attacks made on it. Israel has nuclear-warhead equipped missiles, and would perhaps use them if provoked adequately. What form such provocation might take is unknown, but launching a weapon of mass destruction on a SCUD would invite retaliation, particularly if the launch platform and Al-Qaida leadership were located conveniently on critical petroleum system points. The politics of why this is not an ‘unthinkable’ scenario are beyond the scope of this document, but it can be stated that Israel has little to lose by destruction of their regional competition, particularly the source of their incomes CONSEQUENCES IN THE MIDDLE EAST Any loss of U.S. position in the Middle East would have considerable regional consequences: Destabilization and ‘coup’ potential. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Pakistan will not emerge from the current circumstances unchanged. There is no evidence that the governments of the three Nation-States enjoy the popular support of their populations. The probability of a shift to a more radical Islamic government is considerable for all three; Saudi Arabia’s change of power structure would have dramatic consequences because of the oil reserves as well as the two holy cities, while Pakistan’s change of power structure might well lead to nuclear weapons being under control of radical Islamic militants Chaos and ‘economic starvation.’ Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt are in dire financial condition, and already close to financial collapse. Traditional trade in the area has been critical, as has been support from greater or more wealthy Nation-States (Soviets, U.S., Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, etc.). Collapse of these economies would lead to massive starvation, as well as further radicalization of their populations n Isolation or endangerment. India and Iran would both find themselves neighbor to dangerous regimes. India would need to close off a large section of its border, create military defenses, and direct its economic activity through its rail system away from the hostile regions. Iran faces an impact on its petroleum production system, as well as hostile and even more radical neighbors Wildcards. Israel has much to gain and much to lose if events move in the direction outlined; their current political structure makes them the next logical target in the region, as well as fairly easy to provoke (and thus lured into traps). Iraq may well be collaborating in an agreement of convenience with Al-Qaida (as is suggested by similarities in anthrax agents); this agreement would break down shortly after destabilization became reality. Iraq could rapidly restore its military power by capturing the Western-provided weapons systems in Saudi Arabia; retaking Kuwait would ‘redress a historical wrong’ in Iraqi opinion. The struggle for title of ‘Caliph’ would put Saddam Hussein in conflict with Al-Qaida; who would win is anyone’s guess. If Iraq is not operating in agreement with Al-Qaida, their petroleum production is just as threatened, as is the Ba’ath political structure. Given the West’s view of Iraq, it wouldn’t take much to provoke an attack on Iraq, which may very well lead to Iraq’s use of its own weapons of mass destruction GLOBAL DEPRESSION AND SHIFTS IN GEOPOLITICAL BALANCE Whichever of the three possible endgame scenarios Al-Qaida is playing for, the impact of their success on the global economy would be a lasting depression: Power generation is reliant on petroleum and petroleum derivatives Transportation is the primary consumer of petroleum—air, shipping, rail, automobile, trucking Pharmaceutical and medical device production requires petroleum derivatives Materials such as plastics and synthetic fabrics are petroleum derivatives Manufacturing systems require petroleum lubricants Agricultural and food production systems rely on tractors, transportation, fertiziliers, pesticides, etc. that are petroleum-enabled or derivatives Components for high technology products are produced in petroleum-poor Nation- States (Japan, Taiwan) that would be dramatically impacted, and require transport even if still produced As a consequence of such events unfolding in the Middle East, the geopolitical balance could shift away from the U.S. This almost certainly would leave Nation- States such as China and Russia in positions of advantage—able to secure their own petroleum supply, maintain military ‘force projection’ capabilities, and dictate terms inside their regional spheres because of the dependence upon petroleum products. CONCLUSIONS Again, DSSi’s strategic scenario analysis regarding Al-Qaida’s endgame leads to the following conclusions about the real current events: Al-Qaida has successfully laid a trap for the United States, retains the initiative, and the U.S. is operating ‘inside the intentions and plans’ of Al- Qaida The purpose of the terror attacks is a provocation to force the U.S. to engage and deploy forces to the Middle East, where such forces could be destroyed Al-Qaida’s aims are to make the Middle East ‘ungovernable,’ gain control of the petroleum production system in the region in the attempt to force withdrawal Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

ADDENDUM—6 NOVEMBER, 2001 Similar to the conclusions presented in the above scenario analysis, President Bush today warned the public of Al-Qaida’s global ambition and quest for nuclear weapons. Thus, this material is made available to assist the public in understanding the significance of unfolding events. In reviewing our assessment, please keep in mind the following: These are cautionary scenarios. We are not being critical about US response to the attacks; we are critical about playing into Al-Qaida’s hands. The stakes in this conflict are incredibly high. While the terror attacks are horrible, they are not over. If Al-Qaida can’t accomplish their goal of forcing the U.S. out of the Middle East, then they will likely conduct operations intended to cause catastrophic damage and loss of life. It remains an option for them to try to do as much damage as possible to plunge the U.S. economy into a deep depression, and subsequently force attention to return home. The U.S. public ‘will’ remains untested. Pearl Harbor was a ‘one off’—the conflict didn’t strike deep into the U.S. What price are we willing to pay for our interests ‘over there’? Focus is critical. Petroleum is essential to protect, and ‘losing’ the Middle East, even if not by the design of Al-Qaida, has serious consequences. The U.S. homeland is unprepared for domestic attacks. The ‘top down’ approach isn’t going to work—the government can incentivize through tax exemptions, and respond to crises, but cannot always predict, protect, and prevent. That’s up to individual Americans and U.S. companies to do. Rules of engagement. Right now, the U.S. has the ‘moral authority’ of having been the victim. The U.S. must maintain that moral authority, which is why control in the military response is a critical issue. Military response. The U.S. military is still making a number of key assumptions—the U.S. feels it has the initiative, and that events are unfolding by its plan. It seems clear from looking at the history, planning, and preparation by Al-Qaida that such assumptions are likely inaccurate. Rather than discussing things the U.S. should do, it’s more clear what it should not do—put a lot of concentrated mass where it could be attacked, which means diversifying and dispersing bases and positions. The U.S. should stick to unconventional warfare—it affords more control and leaves fewer chances for mistakes, which is critical in maintaining the moral authority. The military response is not the primary ‘big picture’ approach, but the U.S. should be focusing on social, political, and economic issues in the region. Without paying attention to the non-military issues, the region will continue to generate such groups. All military action accomplishes—U.S., Israeli, Russian, etc.—is to kill the ‘weak’ and create smarter, more dangerous terrorists. That, in fact, is where Al-Qaida comes from, the survivors of decades of military and covert actions. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

IP: *.budimex.com.pl 08.11.01, 19:36 Iraq Trained Muslims to Attack U.S. Targets - Paper NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Iraqi government ran a secret camp to train Muslims from around the Middle East to attack targets in the United States and Europe, including training to hijack airliners, two Iraqi defectors said. In an interview with The New York Times published on Thursday and arranged by a group that opposes Iraqi President Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), the defectors also said they knew of a closely guarded compound within the camp, known as Salman Pak, where Iraqi scientists, led by a German, produced biological agents. The revelations by the defectors come amid a debate in the U.S. government over whether it should turn its attention to Iraq and its weapons program once it concludes the military campaign against the al Qaeda organization and the Taliban in Afghanistan (news - web sites). The United States believes that al Qaeda, led by Saudi-born dissident Osama bin Laden (news - web sites), is the main suspect behind the hijacked airliner attacks in the United States on Sept. 11 that killed thousands of people.

Gość: Yidele World's best/worst job? IP: *.budimex.com.pl 08.11.01, 20:03 Zoo sperm bank worker Mohd. Binatang bin Goncang wins "Worst Job in Singapore". Wildlife Reserves Singapore (WRS), which runs the Singapore Zoo,has set up a bank of sperm and animal tissue in order to help preserve species. The thankless task of collecting the sperm falls to Mr. Binatang's, starting his rounds at 4 a.m. "We start so early in the morning because a lot of the animals have 'morning glory' when they wake up, and it's easier to collect the sperm. Wearing rubber gloves and carrying a cooler box filled with ice and tupperware, Mr. Binatang, 25, told us that he'd just graduated from Singapore Polytechnic with a diploma in life sciences. He liked nature and animals, and thought that the Singapore Zoo would be the perfect place to work. "I never thought I'd be giving an orang-utan a hand job every morning," he said somewhat ruefully. "And he is the worst, he expects to be kissed first. "As we approached the orang-utan enclosure, we saw the Zoo's most famous resident lying casually on his back, hands behind his head, and sporting a huge erection. Applying the massage oil onto his gloves, he lingered outside the enclosure before entering and knelt before the orange beast. About 2 minutes' worth of squelching noises could be heard before Mr.Binatang emerged again. Next the tiger enclosure, the big cats were sprawled lazily on the grass verge, in a somewhat half-hearted manner as he put on a fresh set of gloves and entered the enclosure. "Here, kitty, kitty,kitty..." Moments later, he emerged with several tupperware full of viscous fluid. "Isn't it dangerous?" we asked. Mr. Binatang was silent for a while. "They know I'm not there as an enemy," he finally said, a glazed, faraway look in his eyes. Worked his way round the zoo, finished his rounds at 3 pm in the afternoon. Carrying out his duties with the tapirs, the rhinoceros, giraffe and the gorillas, amongst others. "Each animal is different," he said, removing his gloves, now speckled with traces of polar bear spunk. "The chimpanzees always want to be hugged afterwards. The elephant is the most tricky because of the size of its thing... sometimes I have to use both my arms to tug on it." "As you can expect it's really affecting my sex life. I can't help it. Each time my wife initiates sex, these ejaculating hippos keep floating through my mind." How long will he stay difficult to know, but deputy assistant director Lai Jee Seow thinks it is important to continue. "It's because the animals have gotten too used to Binatang coming over every morning to pull them off," said "Many of them now can't be bothered to engage in real sex." by Kway Png Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: Yidele Noam Chomsky - Radio B92, Belgrade interview IP: *.budimex.com.pl 08.11.01, 23:49 Terrorist Attacks on America September 2001 Source: ZNet Noam Chomsky interviewed by Radio B92, Belgrade QUESTION: Why do you think these attacks happened? CHOMSKY: To answer the question we must first identify the perpetrators of the crimes. It is generally assumed, plausibly, that their origin is the Middle East region, and that the attacks probably trace back to the Osama bin Laden network, a widespread and complex organization, doubtless inspired by bin Laden but not necessarily acting under his control. Let us assume that this is true. Then to answer your question a sensible person would try to ascertain bin Laden's views, and the sentiments of the large reservoir of supporters he has throughout the region. About all of this, we have a great deal of information. Bin Laden has been interviewed extensively over the years by highly reliable Middle East specialists, notably the most eminent correspondent in the region, Robert Fisk (London _Independent_), who has intimate knowledge of the entire region and direct experience over decades. A Saudi Arabian millionaire, bin Laden became a militant Islamic leader in the war to drive the Russians out of Afghanistan. He was one of the many religious fundamentalist extremists recruited, armed, and financed by the CIA and their allies in Pakistani intelligence to cause maximal harm to the Russians Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: Yidele Re: Noam Chomsky - Radio B92, Belgrade interview IP: *.budimex.com.pl 08.11.01, 23:52 Do you expect U.S. to profoundly change their policy to the rest of the world? The initial response was to call for intensifying the policies that led to the fury and resentment that provides the background of support for the terrorist attack, and to pursue more intensively the agenda of the most hard line elements of the leadership: increased militarization, domestic regimentation, attack on social programs. That is all to be expected. Again, terror attacks, and the escalating cycle of violence they often engender, tend to reinforce the authority and prestige of the most harsh and repressive elements of a society. But there is nothing inevitable about submission to this course. After the first shock, came fear of what the U.S. answer is going to be. Are you afraid, too?

Gość: Yidele Are Bin Laden and Saddam in Nuclear Tune? IP: *.budimex.com.pl 11.11.01, 00:53 Are Bin Laden and Saddam in Nuclear Tune? 10 November: Three violently anti-American leaders suddenly burst into speech last Wednesday, November 7 – all in the hearing of the media. The most wanted terrorist in the world, Osama bin Laden, waved his nuclear-chemical warfare threat in an interview he granted to the Pakistani editor Hamid Mir, in a secret place north of Kabul; the commander of his al-Qaeda, the Egyptian Jihad Islami leader Dr Ayman al-Zawahri, pledged the “holy war” would continue, in an interview to the Qatar TV station al-Jazeera; and the semi-official Baghdad newspaper, Babil, reported a surprise visit by Saddam Hussein to the heads of Iraq’s nuclear program. intelligence sources believe that Saddam, during his November 6 visit, ordered his nuclear executives to make nuclear devices in stock ready for arming, the first time this order has ever been issued. A day later, bin Laden declared “…if America uses chemical or nuclear weapons against us then we may retort with chemical and nuclear weapons. We have the weapons as a deterrent.” Asked where he got the weapons from, he responded: “Go to the next question.” Our sources find indications that the three appearances were closely synchronized, pointing to a high degree of publicity – or even operational coordination between Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. In 1997, before Saddam threw them out of the country, United Nations arms inspectors reported “credible intelligence” that Iraq had built and maintained three or four “implosion devices” that lacked only cores of enriched uranium to make 20-kilotons nuclear weapons. Since then, very little information on the types and quality of Iraq’s nuclear devices has reached US, British, French or Israeli intelligence agencies, but informed sources believe it safe to assume that Saddam has since made up his deficiency. Saddam’s November 6 visit took his nuclear program heads, including Dr. Fadhi al-Janabi its director, by surprise. It could only have taken place outside Baghdad, because at the end of July, according to military sources, Saddam moved his own and the nuclear commission’s offices to secret shelters outside the capital. At the same time, he massed troops on Iraq’s northern frontiers with Syria and Jordan, fearing a US attack on Iraq’s northern oil fields, especially Mosul and Kirkuk.Middle East intelligence sources add that Dr. al- Janabi only had three hours’ notice of the presidential visit. He was advised that the event would produce the most important communiqué ever issued on Iraq’s nuclear capability. Saddam arrived attended by two of his sons, Qusai, in the uniform of an Iraqi general and Odai, who edits and owns Babil. In covering the visit, Babil’s November 7 report contains two ominous references: one calling the researchers and engineers of the National Nuclear Program “warriors”; the second, a quote from Saddam’s words to them: “When the human brain is alive and has a big objective, it will not be diverted from its goal when constrained, but will search for more effective means to reach the goal.” Taken together, these references imply warm praise for the “warriors” of Iraq’s nuclear program for their success in developing ways and means of overcoming the obstacles heaped by international sanctions on Iraq’s road to attaining nuclear weapons. Bin Laden’s nuclear warning confirms October 12 disclosure that the Islamic terrorist had procured nuclear weapons, a report repeated later on this site. The White House stated it was taking bin Laden’s threat very seriously - and no wonder intelligence sources think it possible that the al Qaeda chief may have accumulated as many nuclear devices of unknown types as Saddam, with only a part of his nuclear stock kept in Afghanistan; some devices may even have been smuggled into the United States. military sources discern the omission by bin Laden and the Iraqi leader of any mention of biological weapons, probably to deny the Bush administration any pretext for tying either with the anthrax outbreak in the United States amid proliferating warnings of an impending smallpox attack. The latest FBI profiling of the party behind the anthrax assault as an American “loner” does not contradict the possibility of his being an agent for bin Laden or Iraqi military intelligence.
