Italy, Belgium Arrest 17 Terror Suspects

AP discovers that jihad groups are united by ideology.

In a coordinated strike across Europe, police arrested 17 suspected Islamic militants, including an alleged mastermind of the Madrid train bombings who authorities say was planning further attacks, officials said Tuesday.

Fifteen people, mostly Palestinian, Jordanian, Moroccan and Egyptian nationals, were arrested in raids on about 10 locations in Brussels and Antwerp, said Daniel Bernard, Belgian federal prosecutor.

Italian police picked up two suspects, including a 33-year-old Egyptian described as the ringleader who allegedly helped plan the March 11 attacks in Madrid that killed 191 people.

The suspect, identified as Rabei Osman Ahmed - also known as "Mohammed the Egyptian" - was arrested Monday night near his apartment in the northern outskirts of Milan in an operation that involved dozens of police.

The operation "confirms the welding that took place between holy war groups of various geographical origins," said Carlo De Stefano of the Milan police. These groups "are united not only by a single project of attack on the West and on the symbols representing it, but also by the actual sharing of resources and operational experiences."

Onward, Muslim Soldiers!

With this kind of arrest, the world will be made a better place!
God bless all the countries fighting against terrorism.

Yep, and we need a Lot more of them. This is where I said elsewhere that President Bush was clever... there is a Lot going on we never hear about. Operations everywhere... and the one that gets Missed? That's what the press and opposition party will scream about. Not the 60-70-80-90% that got Stopped.

With my respects this is nothing. The problem is islam as a whole. In their barbaric societies a terrorist is born every second.

True enough Jose'

But please grant that at least *these* more experienced smeg are now off the strets.
Persoanlly I favor dead...but that's just me.

That is great news!

Mohammed the Egyptian" - was arrested Monday night near his apartment in the northern outskirts Milan think he was ther for a fasion show?? this guy is bad news thank you Italy!!!


Judge Invalidates Search of Ohio Imam's Home

CLEVELAND – A terrorist group's manifesto and other items seized by the FBI in a search of an Islamic cleric's home were taken in an illegal search and cannot be used at his trial, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge James Gwin, in a decision filed late Monday, ruled in favor of Fawaz Mohammed Damra, 41.
The Palestinian-born imam is accused of concealing ties to terrorist organizations when he applied for citizenship, which he received in 1994.
FBI agents searched his suburban Cleveland home Jan. 13 after his arrest and seized a computer, copies of sermons and political speeches, the manifesto of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and stacks of financial records.
Federal prosecutor James V. Moroney Jr. said the manifesto was the only item from the search that the government intended to use at the trial. He said no decision had been made on whether to appeal the judge's ruling.
Damra, leader of Islamic Center of Cleveland, is scheduled to go on trial next week. He also has been charged with tax evasion, money laundering and fraud.

I search all over the AP article for one piece of evidence, nothing except:

No weapons or explosives were found during the raids, officials said, but documents praising holy war were seized, along with books and videotapes.
The suspected terrorists' link to al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden's network, was not clear.....

Every Time bush is around europe, there are some Muslim Brothers arrested by neo-fascist countries so they can show their "coordinated strike" to him.

The Muslim Brothers will stay in jail for some years then the court has to set them free.

Some Jihad Books Huh? You Know What? Collect the books outside their appartments and then burn the books! And tell innocent people around they are not allowed to read these books!

You train is not going anywhere.

Mahmoud:

Absence of evidence doesn't imply that evidence is absent.

On the one hand you deny that there is evidence for a global jihad and on the other, that your brothers on global jihad will win. Again you are exposed by your sophomoric belief that others cannot see what you refuse to divulge. Much like the little boy who throws a blanket over his head and believes he is invisible to others.

Canuck you are hilarious.....

I love your grandchildren sayings....LOL

panos,

I like the kid under the blanket analogy. Very appropriate...

CLEVELAND - A terrorist group’s manifesto and other items seized by the FBI in a search of an Islamic cleric’s home were taken in an illegal search and cannot be used at his trial, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge James Gwin, in a decision filed late Monday, ruled in favor of Fawaz Mohammed Damra, 41.
The Palestinian-born imam is accused of concealing ties to terrorist organizations when he applied for citizenship, which he received in 1994.
FBI agents searched his suburban Cleveland home without a warrant after his Jan. 13 arrest and seized a computer, copies of sermons and political speeches, the manifesto of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and stacks of financial records.
The agents said they had permission to search the home, but Damra’s wife, Nasreen, was instructed to go to the basement during the arrest, apparently because she was upset. The judge said her absence prevented her from finding out she had the right to ask them to leave.

But now every red neck knows who he is and where he lives?

Kerry Outlines Way to Limit Nuke Threat
By DARLENE SUPERVILLE, Associated Press Writer
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, outlining a plan to reduce the potential for a nuclear attack by terrorists, promised on Tuesday to safeguard all the nuclear weapons and materials that exist around the world by the end of his first term if elected.
Kerry, speaking at a container port in the politically important state of Florida, also pledged to reduce existing nuclear weapons stockpiles, halt production of the materials used to make them and end nuclear weapons programs in nations like North Korea and Iran.
The Massachusetts senator promised to boost international efforts to stop the trafficking of nuclear materials and said he would name a national coordinator for nuclear terrorism and counterproliferation, a Cabinet-level post, to focus on the issue full time.
"Today, I am proposing a new initiative to prevent the world's deadliest weapons from falling into the world's most dangerous hands," the presidential candidate said at the Port of Palm Beach, the 18th busiest container port in the country.
"If we secure all bomb-making materials, ensure that no new materials are produced for nuclear weapons, and end nuclear weapons programs in hostile states like North Korea and Iran, we will dramatically reduce the possibility of nuclear terrorism," he said.
Kerry and senior foreign policy advisers said President Bush has not given the issue the serious treatment it deserves.
His campaign said the Bush administration would take 13 years to secure the nearly 20,000 nuclear weapons in the former Soviet Union, while Kerry would complete the job in four years. The campaign also asserted that Bush has never raised the issue in summits with Russian President Vladimir Putin.


kerry says just say no!!??

Guess kerry missed this one?

Bush, Putin tout new era
May 25, 2002 Posted: 6:45 PM EDT (2245 GMT)
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (CNN) -- One day after President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a landmark nuclear arms reduction treaty, the men continued to tout a new era of cooperation between their nations.
"The treaty we signed says a lot about nuclear arms. It speaks about the need for peace," Bush told a packed auditorium Saturday at St. Petersburg University.
"But it also says the Cold War is over. And America and Russia need to be and will be friends for the good of the world."

By admitting the innocence of these Brothers, you -once again- did tear down you false book of democracy and freedom.

Way to go Italy and Belgium!
Now if only the rest of Europe would wake up and follow their lead...

There must be a mistake here,Islam is a
faith of Peace and compassion.The Zionists must
be running this scam,another example of Islamophobia by the Godless infidel pigs that
will rot in hell by Allah's wrath brought to
us through Muhammed(peace be apon him) the
blessed one that screw a 9 year old girl.


NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE

I pray for the day western civilization destroys islam and all their demons.

mahmoud
you speak of democracy, well then tell us what do you consider a democracy. You speak of neo-facsist, but please answer, why is it that muslims make up 4% of the european population, yet suck up 42% of all social benefits. But, like you say, we are not democracies.what is your democracy, the arab countries, or is it when arabs can live and work and kill among us.
please answer, i anxiously await your next lie.

Roger

What innocence? If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas. At least they have them in custody. I hope their prosecution will stick.
