Zitat:Islamists will meet to respond to `American Zionist terror'

BY MATTHEW SCHOFIELD

BERLIN - (KRT) - German officials are growing concerned about a conference for Arabs and Muslims on "American Zionist terror" that looks like it will go ahead as planned in Berlin, despite calls for its cancellation by a prominent Jewish organization.
The conference, scheduled for Oct. 1-3, is expected to attract as many as 500 Islamists from around the world to form "a unified response" to the American presence in Iraq and to Israel's existence, according to promotional literature for the First Arab, Islamic Congress in Europe.

He added that German officials are scrambling to figure out what they can do, if anything, about the congress.
"If their agenda included bombing the Reichstag, we could stop them. But unless there's evidence of a crime, there's little we can do."

The chilling prophecy was delivered last week by a panel of the world's leading counter-terrorist experts, who have, since the events of 9/11, watched al-Qaeda shift like sand dunes in a desert storm.

Qaida-Aufnahmen gelöscht, Tonbänder vergammeln

Die US-Terrorabwehr droht im Chaos zu versinken. Nach einem Regierungsbericht stapeln sich beim FBI unübersetzte Tonbänder mit verdächtigen Aufnahmen - insgesamt mehr als 120.000 Stunden. Wegen Computerpannen seien sogar abgehörte Qaida-Gespräche gelöscht worden.

FBI-Zentrale in Washington: Überlastete Bundespolizei?
Washington - Ließe man alle Tonbänder am Stück laufen, würde es über 13 Jahre und acht Monate dauern. Aufzeichnungen von dieser Länge liegen derzeit bei der amerikanischen Bundespolizei FBI. Sie stammen aus Abhörmaßnahmen nach dem 11. September und sollen wertvolle Aufschlüsse im Kampf gegen den Terror liefern. Das Problem: Bislang, so berichtet die "New York Times", ist noch niemand dazu gekommen, das 120.000-Stunden-Material zu sichten und zu übersetzen. Sogar Al-Qaida-Aufnahmen sollen wegen Computer-Problemen gelöscht worden sein.

Zitat:EDITORIAL: Jamaat-e-Islami’s fatal isolationism

The three-day Jamaat-e-Islami congregation or ‘world conference’ at Azakhel near Peshawar on Saturday has taken extreme political and economic positions. These will serve to intimidate the world and compel many interest groups in Pakistan to review their options vis-à-vis the religious party. The party chief, Qazi Hussain Ahmad, who was not allowed to visit Holland and Belgium and was embarrassed by questions from journalists in Norway last month, has taken the Jamaat one step further on the road of radicalisation by condemning the West. He has done this for two reasons: he wants to attract the attention of the electorate in Pakistan and he seeks to upstage the JUI within the MMA.

The naib (deputy) amir of the party, Senator Prof Khursheed Ahmad, told the gathering that the United States and its allies had crippled the economies of the Muslim countries by taking over their resources. He argued that the only way to recover from this subjugation was by waging jihad. He said that the Almighty had directed Muslims to increase their power, which included economic strength.

WASHINGTON: In a book that is likely to be released later this month, its author has startlingly revealed that the Bush administration has firmed up plans to carry out an invasion of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, which is seen as the command centre of the al-Qaeda terrorist network.
George Friedman, the founder and chairman of the well regarded news and analysis service, Stratfor, reveals in his book titled America's Secret War , the ongoing, but hidden struggle between the United States and its enemies.
"The United States will threaten Iran with war if it aids al-Qaeda. The United States will have to invade northwest Pakistan. There are plans for this already. In addition, if Pakistan collapses due to an invasion, the United States and India will have to jointly occupy Pakistan. The end game is Pakistan," the Daily Times quotes Friedman as saying.
