Thursday Winds of War: September 29/05

| No Comments | 1 TrackBack

Welcome! Our goal at Winds of Change.NET 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. Thursday's Winds of War briefings are given by Matt 'Colt' of Eurabian Times and Steve 'USMC_Vet' of The Word Unheard.

TOP TOPICS

  • Al-Qaeda TV describes the Gaza retreat as a great victory, and shows Ahmed Queria of the PLO in a favourable light - in a complete reversal of the group's previous opinion that the PLO was a infidel, Zionist tool. Perhaps this is related: the chief of Israeli military intelligence says al-Qaeda is in Gaza, and the group's interest in attacking Israel is growing.

Other Topics Today Include: Iran weighs response to IAEA vote; U.K. rules out force; mullahs behind '85 bomb in Germany; Egypt shoots terrorist; Syria buying Russian arms; Hamas leaders hide; Saudi Arabia certified as co-operating; U.S. clashes with Mehdi Army; Farrakhan claims levees blown up; Kosovo is A-Q haven; Yarkas gets 27 years; 7/21 arrest made; LeJ leader arrested; India nails seven terrorists; Abu Sayyaf round-up; Somaliland wants independence; and much more.

IRAN

  • Iran is pissed about the latest IAEA resolution. Lots of talk about economic repercussions for the countries that voted against Iran, with a Pasdaran site is suggesting using oil as to blackmail France, Italy and the U.K.. Iran's LNG deal with India may or may not still be on.
  • Those snap nuclear inspections? Iran's 'parliament' is trying to stop them.

THE MIDDLE EAST

  • Hamas leaders are going underground, despite their leadership announcing that they are not afraid of dying.
  • A Hamas cell kidnapped a 50-year-old Israeli, filmed a Zarqawi-style video and then murdered him. Its past time to call the Hamas leaders' bluff.

IRAQ AND THE GULF

  • Saudi Arabia has been certified as 'co-operating in the war on terror' by President bush
  • A bomb planted outside the home of a bodyguard of Moqtada al-Sadr has killed six people. The Mehdi Army recently clashed with the Badr Brigades...

THE AMERICAS

  • More details about the prison jihad in LA. Kevin James, terror mastermind and founder of Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheed, recruited two of the gang from an Inglewood mosque. He has been arraigned.

EUROPE

  • Bulgarian police who seized 3.5kg of hafnium last week believe it was connected either to Iran or al-Qaeda. The report noted the involvement of the 'Arab dominated Bucharest mafia's role as an intermediary.
  • Mohamed Haddad, 3/11 suspect, is living openly in Morocco - what the deal?

WEST ASIA & THE 'STANS

  • A JMB suspect named Faisal has confessed to being a member of the banned terror group.

AUSTRALASIA AND THE ORIENT

AFRICA

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.
