Far-right terrorists?!? What far-right terrorists???? Terror From the Right Almost 60 terrorist plots uncovered in the U.S. By Andrew Blejwas, Anthony Griggs and Mark Potok Ten years after the Oklahoma City bombing left 168 people dead, the guardians of American national security seem to have decided that the domestic radical right does not pose a substantial threat to U.S. citizens. A draft internal document from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that was obtained this spring by The Congressional Quarterly lists the only serious domestic terrorist threats as radical animal rights and environmental groups like the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front. But for all the property damage they have wreaked, eco-radicals have killed no one — something that most definitely cannot be said of the white supremacists and others who people the American radical right. In the 10 years since the April 19, 1995, bombing in Oklahoma City, in fact, the radical right has produced some 60 terrorist plots. These have included plans to bomb or burn government buildings, banks, refineries, utilities, clinics, synagogues, mosques, memorials and bridges; to assassinate police officers, judges, politicians, civil rights figures and others; to rob banks, armored cars and other criminals; and to amass illegal machine guns, missiles, explosives, and biological and chemical weapons. What follows is a list of key right-wing plots of the last 10 years. [snip] splcenter.org

Follow-up to my post #244605: Told you so.... Wed., August 03, 2005 Tamuz 27, 5765 Egyptian officers arrive in Gaza to help train Palestinian police By Reuters and Haaretz Service Thirty Egyptian security officers arrived in Gaza on Wednesday to assist in the training of some 5,000 Palestinian police officers to ensure order in the territory after the disengagement, Palestinian officials said. A critical challenge for Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas after the pullout will be reining in militants and other armed groups who seized de facto control of wide areas during the intifada. Egypt is keen to see calm established in Gaza to prevent a security vacuum after Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip and four northern West Bank settlements. Palestinian Authority officials said the 30 Egyptian officers would supervise training of a nascent 5,000-strong special force designated to take charge in settlement areas and abandoned army bases as the Israelis depart. "They will support the Palestinian Authority training plan by providing assistance and advice," an official told Reuters. Meanwhile, Israel and Egypt have agreed in principle to a deployment of 750 soldiers from the Egyptian border guard along the Philadelphi route. Next week, the joint military-security committee will meet to decide on the detailed protocol of the deployment and initial the agreement, after which it will be brought before the cabinet and the Knesset for a vote. According to the agreement, the Egyptian troops will take up positions along the 14-kilometer southern border of the Gaza Strip, from the Mediterranean to the border with Israel, near Kerem Shalom. The Egyptians will apparently deploy in September, and Israel will withdraw from the Philadelphi route in October. haaretz.com
