France Urges U.N. Intervention With Iran

By CHRISTINE OLLIVIER, Associated Press Writer

Iran's decision to resume its nuclear activities could spark a "major international crisis," France's foreign minister said Tuesday, increasing the pressure on Tehran to return to the negotiating table or risk facing sanctions.

Hardening France's tone, Philippe Douste-Blazy said that European negotiators planned to urgently propose a meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency's council of governors.

In the meeting, the EU would ask the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog "to specify very strongly and very firmly to the Iranians the need to return to the negotiating table" or risk facing sanctions.

"If the Iranians still do not accept what the council of governors propose, then the international community must turn to the Security Council" and "we will see what type of sanctions to give to Iran," Douste-Blazy said.

On Monday evening Iran agreed to a two-day delay in reopening its Isfahan nuclear processing plant, after vowing to restart nuclear processing.

France, Germany and Britain have urged Iran not to take unilateral action, saying they are only days from delivering a package of incentives addressing security and political, economic and nuclear issues.

"This Iranian affair is very serious," Douste-Blazy said. "It could be the beginning of a major international crisis."

France's Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said earlier Tuesday that Iran should be taken before the U.N. Security Council if it follows through on its promise to resume uranium processing.

"It will be submitted to the Security Council if Iran does not comply," Villepin told Europe-1 radio. "Iran must hold to the commitments it has made."

Bin Laden 'is a great man'
August 04, 2005
From: AAP
A MELBOURNE man targeted by ASIO says Osama bin Laden is a great man, adding that he would be betraying his religion if he told his students not to train as terrorists.

Islam did not tolerate other religions, Abdul Nacer Ben Brika said, adding that he was especially opposed to Jews.
Many Muslims fighting against US-led coalition forces in Iraq or Afghanistan were doing the same thing as Prime Minister John Howard in helping US President George W. Bush fight terrorism.

According to ABC radio, ASIO confiscated Mr Ben Brika's passport in March after it raided his home, amid concerns he was likely to prejudice the security of Australia or a foreign country if he travelled overseas.

Mr Ben Brika is a dual Algerian and Australian citizen who has lived in the northern suburbs of Melbourne since 1989.

He denies being involved in any terrorist activities.

But Mr Ben Brika is a supporter of Osama bin Laden, the head of terrorist network al-Qaeda.
"Osama bin Laden, he is a great man," he told ABC radio.

"Osama bin Laden was a great man before 11 September, which they said he did it, until now nobody knows who did it."

Mr Ben Brika defended Muslims fighting against coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, and said anyone who fought in the name of Allah would be forgiven their sins.

"You may find many Muslims fighting in Iraq or in Afghanistan which, because they believe they are a brother, as John Howard is helping Bush in his war, then the people they do the same," he said.

"According to my religion, jihad is a part of my religion and, what you have to understand that anyone who fights for the sake of Allah, when he dies, the first drop of blood that comes from him out all his sin will be forgiven."

Mr Ben Brika said some of his students had travelled to central Asia to participate in terrorist training camps, but he said he would be betraying his religion if he advised them not to go.

"If I do this, it means I am betraying my own religion," he said.

Muslims faced a problem in Australia as to whether to obey Australian or Islamic laws, he said.

"This is big problem. There are two laws, there is Australian law, there is Islamic law," Mr Ben Brika said.

On other religions, he said: "I am not only against the Jew. I am against anyone who try to harm my religion.

"According to my religion, here, I don't accept all other religions except the religion of Islam.

"I am telling you that my religion doesn't tolerate other religion, it doesn't tolerate."
