Zitat:Wien hatte lange Zeit den Ruf einer etwas verschlafenen Stadt, Österreich galt als "Insel der Seligen", fern der Fährnisse einer terrorgeplagten Welt. Dieser Ruf, obzwar etwas ramponiert, droht jetzt endgültig verloren zu gehen. Das verschlafene Wien wurde in der gestrigen Ausgabe der Tageszeitung Kurier als Stadt der Schläfer geoutet. Etwa 50 in Österreich ansässige Ausländer würden ständig von westlichen Sicherheitsdienstes beobachtet, die meisten von ihnen im Zusammenhang mit islamischem Fundamentalismus.

Etwa 200 Moscheen und muslimische Bethäuser in der Bundeshauptstadt und den Landeshauptstädten Graz, Linz und Innsbruck seien Bühnen für hetzerische Prediger. Augenscheinlich harmlose Lkw-Fahrer oder Bauarbeiter verbringen ihren Urlaub in mutmaßlichen Terror-Ausbildungslagern in Afghanistan. Der Kurier beruft sich offenbar auf Angaben des Bundesamts für Verfassungsschutz und Terrorismusbekämpfung (BVT), das staatsfeindliche Aktivitäten, von Spionage über Terrorverschwörungen bis Atomschmuggel, beobachtet und ausländischen Geheimdiensten meldet...........

Zitat:How Clinton Let Al-Qaeda Go

Weekly Standard | January 19, 2004


SINCE 9/11, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has repeatedly declared that the United States is in a new kind of war, one requiring new military forces to hunt down and capture or kill terrorists. In fact, for some years, the Department of Defense has gone to the trouble of selecting and training an array of Special Operations Forces, whose forte is precisely this. One president after another has invested resources to hone lethal "special mission units" for offensive--that is, preemptive--counterterrorism strikes, with the result that these units are the best of their kind in the world. While their activities are highly classified, two of them--the Army's Delta Force and the Navy's SEAL Team 6--have become the stuff of novels and movies.
