We were posting earlier that we don't have enough info to know what is going on. Some of these blogs are getting impressive.Everything said is linked if you go to the site. _____________________________________________ November 06, 2003 Dan's Winds of War: 2003-11-06 Dan Darling Welcome! Our goal is to give you one power-packed briefing of insights, news and trends from the global War on Terror that leaves you stimulated, informed, and occasionally amused every Monday & Thursday. In addition, we also have our in-depth Iraq Report. Today's briefings are brought to you by Dan Darling of Regnum Crucis. Top Topics Al-Qaeda is reportedly regrouping and recruiting in Kashmir (both Pakistani Azad Kashmir and Indian Jammu and Kashmir) before moving sending jihadis to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. As AfricaPundit already noted, al-Qaeda elements in East Africa led by Faisal Abdullah Mohammed are using Somalia as base from which to launch attacks throughout East Africa with the assistance of its Somali affiliate al-Ittihad al-Islamiyyah. Rohan Gunaratna, widely considered one of the foremost experts on al-Qaeda in the world, is warning that Europe may be attacked by terrorists in retaliation for the war in Iraq. Other Topics Today Include: Iran Reports; USA Homeland Security Briefing; al-Qaeda regrouping in Yemen; US posting bounties in Somalia; 3 Pakistani soldiers busted fighting with al-Qaeda; Maulavi Akhter Mohammed says down with Musharraf; jihadi minimum wage; Sri Lankan parliament suspended and military on call; an al-Qaeda plot in Kyrgyzstan thwarted; Bhutan's prince off to war; and an Eminem knife fight in Istanbul. IRAN REPORTS Pakistan is denying claims that Iran extradited al-Qaeda members to it, in effect calling the Iranian government a liar. Middle East Newsline and the World Tribune is reporting that hundreds of al-Qaeda and Ansar al-Islam operatives are entering Iraq through Iran. The sons and two aides of Iranian dissident Grand Ayatollah Hussein Ali Montazeri has been arrested by the Iranian security forces, a probable sign that yet another crackdown against the Iranian dissidents is pending. Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is is warning the IAEA that he will end nuclear cooperation with the agency if he perceives it to be in league with what Khamenei regards as "an American and Zionist plot" against the Islamic Republic. According to the Spanish newspaper El Pais, IAEA chief Mohammed Elbaradei says that Iran has failed to honor some international nuclear safeguards and that it may be judged in non-compliance with the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. U.S.A HOMELAND SECURITY BRIEFING The latest theory out regarding September 11 is that al-Qaeda sought to send additional hijackers into the US before the attacks. This comes as USA Today is reporting that an unidentified twentieth operative was sent in to serve as an additional hijacker but was forced to leave the US for reasons unknown. Things keep on looking worse and worse for arrested Muslim activist Abdulrahman Alamoudi. A communique from the "Islamic Bayan (Threat) Movement," posted on the now-defunct al-Qaeda website al-Faroq, and translated through MEMRI is instructing all Muslims to leave Washington DC, New York City, and Los Angeles prior to some kind of terrorist attack on US soil. Al-Faroq also posted a claim of responsibility for the recent downing of a Chinook helicopter in Iraq while comparing it to Hubal, an idol worshipped by the Meccans prior to the founding of Islam. THE WIDER WAR Kashmir isn't the only place where al-Qaeda is regrouping, the network is also rebuilding its forces in Yemen even as it enters into negotiations with President Ali Abdullah Saleh. The US is reportedly putting out bounties for terrorists in Somalia, yet another sign of the shadowy cloak-and-dagger that is being conducted as part of the war on terror in that region of Africa. windsofchange.net
