Recent developments in three of India’s neighbors have demonstrated the expanding regional presence, reach and influence of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) organization. Going well beyond its Kashmir roots, reports suggest the movement is now establishing a presence in Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Within a span of six days, Bangladesh authorities arrested four high profile LeT operatives with smuggled exotic dutiable products and large amounts of explosives and other bomb making materials. The detainees included Khurram (a.k.a Mohammad Salem), LeT's chief coordinator (Daily Star [Dhaka], Oct 05). The latest arrests revealed that LeT operatives use Bangladesh as a transit point for counterfeit currency and as a fertile ground for jihadi recruitment. India’s Ministry of Home Affairs claimed earlier this month that hundreds of Naxalites (Maoists) from India were being trained in Nepal by Nepal’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and supervised by LeT operatives Latif Kha...

Senior U.S. intelligence, security and law enforcement officials are concerned over recent intelligence and "chatter" that strongly suugests the Pakistani Taliban may have already snuck another terrorist into the U.S. to launch an attack, according to Fox News Channel's National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin in her terrorism report yesterday. Authorities, however, know very little about the suspected Taliban agent or any possible plot, but they are seriously investigating the threat. U.S. authorities believe the Pakistani Taliban, also known as Tehrik-e Taliban Pakistan, would have directed the individual to attempt another Times Square-style operation, but not necessarily in New York City, according to the Fox News report. A senior intelligence official said the threat's lack of specificity makes it nearly impossible for the counterterrorism community to defend against such an attack. Any possible threat, however, does not seem to be imminent, with...

Michael Scheuer takes The Diplomat just outside its regular beat for a closer look at Saudi Arabia. Still the biggest oil supplier to Asia’s largest economies, is the kingdom really as stable as its leaders like to make out? Churchill’s description of the Soviet Union as a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma also applies to Saudi Arabia—an authoritarian regime that makes every effort to prevent the world seeing too much of its internal affairs. Saudi Arabia has long been the home and educator of many who today inspire and lead worldwide Islamist militancy (not least, Osama bin Laden). The country’s leaders nevertheless strive to show the world they are ‘modernizing’ and subduing domestic militancy—anything required to keep the country stable and oil production dependable. Indeed, in 2008, King Abdullah launched the highly publicized campaign for ‘Inter-faith Dialogue’ and called for the mixing of men and women in Saudi universities—moves meant to blur the country’s tou...

How to tell a terrorist from a freedom fighter Tags: Society , terrorism , UN Security Council , World , Commentary Anatoly Kudryavtsev 28.09.2010, 17:00 The UN Security Council returns to the discussion of the "international terrorism" term. So far there is neither a general definition nor a common comprehension of what terrorism and especially international terrorism is. The UN has always had difficulties with this term. During the Cold War, when the world was divided into two camps, every state defined this concept in line with his ideological position and geopolitical interests. In that situation the same persons could be regarded as terrorists in the West and freedom fighters in the Communist camp and vice versa. The end of the Cold War did not bring single-mindedness on this issue. While the US called some people in the Middle East terrorists, they were declared freedom fighters by some developing countries. Dramatic differences in the c...

Moving from Reacting to Preventing Acts of Terrorism TSA Has Been Missing Terrorists Because They Have Been Unable To Foresee And Thereby Prevent These Terrorists’ Acts. It is only with the observation of “emerging aggression” and the distinction between “Primal and Cognitive Aggression” that one can foresee and prevent any level of aggression, including a terrorist. Why Have Current Government Systems Failed Us? Current systems in place to foresee and prevent the violence of individuals like Major Nidal Malik Hasan, whose massacre took the lives of 13 soldiers and wounded 29 others, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas Day Bomber and Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square Bomber are not working! The Government has put a number of systems in place, yet they leave significant gaps permitting terrorist like Major Hasan, Abdulmutallab and Shahzad the means to pass through. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted a review of TSA’s behavior detection program, known as...

Bombshell: Bin Laden worked for US till 9/11 Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds dropped a bombshell on the Mike Malloy radio show, guest-hosted by Brad Friedman (audio, partial transcript). In the interview, Sibel says that the US maintained 'intimate relations' with Bin Laden, and the Taliban, "all the way until that day of September 11." These 'intimate relations' included using Bin Laden for 'operations' in Central Asia, including Xinjiang, China. These 'operations' involved using al Qaeda and the Taliban in the same manner "as we did during the Afghan and Soviet conflict," that is, fighting 'enemies' via proxies. As Sibel has previously described, and as she reiterates in this latest interview, this process involved using Turkey (with assistance from 'actors from Pakistan, and Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia') as a proxy, which in turn used Bin Laden and the Taliban and others as a proxy terrorist army. Control of Ce...

Huber Szebasztián: Terrorizmus Európában a XX. század második felében A modern terrorizmus megjelenése Európában a 60-as évek második felére tehetõ. Ahhoz hogy errõl beszélhessünk, meg kell határozni mi is a terrorizmus. A legáltalánosabban elfogadott megfogalmazás szerint a terrorizmus valamely szervezet által politikai okokból végrehajtott erõszakos, félelemkeltõ akciók sorozata. A XIX. század végén volt az elsõ terrorhullám, amit fõleg anarchisták követtek el, de itt általában egy-egy személy megölése volt a cél. Ilyen volt a II. Sándor cár elleni sikertelen merényletek sora és az Erzsébet osztrák császárné és magyar királyné ellen 1898-ban, Genfben végrehajtott sikeres merénylet. Ide sorolható a mindenki által ismert szarajevói merénylet, ami az I. világháborúhoz vezetett. A modern európai terrorista szervezetek általában 2 nagy csoportba sorolhatók: az egyik a baloldali terroristák, akik a világforradalmat kívánják elõmozdítani, és a szeparatista mozgalmak, amelyek egy terület vag...
