And in Thailand
As long as I'm griping about Southeast Asia:
Five soldiers were wounded in a roadside bombing in Narathiwat province on Saturday afternoon.Unlike in Burma, where it was Buddhist on Muslim violence (unusual, eh?), in Thailand it was the usual suspects blowing up the usual victims.
The bomb was set off when a nine-man security unit (five on a military Humvee and four on two motorcycles) was patroling in Waeng district. The explosion, which destroyed the Humvee and left a crater one meter deep and one meter wide in the road, was caused by explosives hidden in a cooking gas cylinder.
Myanmar: The Coming Jihad
Myanmar (always Burma in my book) looms on the horizon as the next place where jihadists will congregate. It may not be on any one else's radar, but the Salaafis have been complaining about the Buddhist majority's treatment of Muslims for the past year. As the violence ramps up, I expect the international Islamists to begin to organize around the issue:
Anti-Muslim mobs rampaged through three more towns in Myanmar's predominantly Buddhist heartland over the weekend, destroying mosques and burning dozens of homes despite government efforts to stem the nation's latest outbreak of sectarian violence.Burma better get its act together and put a lid on this before this turns into a full scale insurgency. People will only take so much oppression, and if there's anything we've learned over the past 10 years is that Muslims don't complain much when one group of Muslims are oppressing another group of Muslims. But when the kafir are responsible, the gloves come off.
President Thein Sein had declared an emergency in central Myanmar on Friday and deployed army troops to the worst-hit city, Meikhtila, where 32 people were killed and 10,000 mostly Muslim residents were displaced. But even as soldiers restored order there after several days of anarchy in which armed Buddhists torched the city's Muslim quarters, the unrest has spread south toward the capital, Naypyitaw.

Things Heating Up in Thailand ... In a Bad Way
When most people think of Thailand, they think of idyllic beaches and creepy sex tourism. But in Thailand's south, some Muslims have decided they've had enough of the infidels and want their own country. Over the weekend at least seven people were killed, including:
In Pattani province, two people were gunned down and four others, including three children, were wounded in separate shooting attacks....
In Nong Chik district, four people, including three children, were injured after suspected terrorists insurgents sprayed bullets at several houses about 6 p.m.

Hezbollah Operative Arrested in Thailand, Planned Bangkok Attack
I love it when newspapers write that the US claims that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization -- as if there were any doubts by any one but agenda driven leftists and Islamists:
Amid public warnings from the United States and Israel of a possible terror attack, Thai officials said Friday that they had arrested a Lebanese man believed to be a member of Hezbollah in connection with a plot to strike tourists in Bangkok.
The country’s defense minister, Gen. Yuthasak Sasiprapha, said the plot may have involved using a car bomb at tourist sites, synagogues and the Israeli Embassy. He said Israel intelligence agents first informed authorities in Thailand on Dec. 22 that two or three men were suspected of plotting an attack in Bangkok, the Thai capital.
On Sunday, the agents again warned of an attack, possibly set to occur the following weekend at a site popular with Western tourists, like Khao San Road, where many backpackers and other visitors congregate, General Yuthasak said in an interview with the Thai newspaper Naewna....
Earlier Friday, the American Embassy in Bangkok issued an emergency message on its Web site, warning of a possible attack by “foreign terrorists” against Americans in Thailand.

Hot BIFF on MILF Action
When violent Islamists with incredibly unfortunate acronyms clash:
Ameril Umbra Kato told The Associated Press in a cellphone interview from his jungle hide-out in southern Maguindanao province that he would not return to the main Moro Islamic Liberation Front [MILF], which has threatened to expel him after he led a mutiny in December...I'm more of a MILF guy. Vinnie, Howie, and Ronin? BIFF.
He said his new group would be known as the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Front [BIFF]. Its guerrilla wing, the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters [BIFF], was organized in January, a month after he broke off from the main Muslim guerrilla force over differences with insurgent leaders.

US Sanctions Members Of The Haqqani & Jemaah Islamiya (JI) Terrorist Networks
Designation of Haqqani Network Commander Sangeen ZadranBill Roggio has more background info on Zadran
Office of the Spokesperson
August 16, 2011
The Secretary of State has designated Haqqani Network (HQN) Commander Sangeen Zadran under Executive Order 13224, which targets terrorists and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism. As a result of the designation, all property subject to U.S. jurisdiction in which Sangeen has any interest is blocked and U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in any transactions with him. Sangeen was also listed by the United Nations (UN) 1988 Sanctions Committee. These actions will help stem the flow of financial and other assistance to this dangerous individual.
Sangeen Zadran is the Shadow Governor for Paktika Province, Afghanistan and a commander of the Haqqani Network, a Taliban-affiliated group of militants that operates from North Waziristan Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. The Haqqani Network has been at the forefront of insurgent activity in Afghanistan, responsible for many high-profile attacks.
As for JI:
Treasury Sanctions Three Senior Members of the Jemaah Islamiya Terrorist NetworkUmar Patek was involved in the 2002 Bali bombings as well as other terror attacks. Abdul Bas'asyir is said to be part of al Qaeda's media arm. YouTube, are you listening?
WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced the designation of Umar Patek, Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir and Muhammad Jibril Abdul Rahman, three senior members of Jemaah Islamiya (JI), the Southeast Asia-based designated terrorist network with links to al-Qa’ida.
“These three men have demonstrated their commitment to violence,” said Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David S. Cohen. “Today’s actions are intended to disrupt their ability to access the international financial system to support their deadly agendas.”
Today’s designations were taken pursuant to Executive Order (E.O.) 13224, which targets for sanctions terrorists and those providing support to terrorists or acts of terrorism. As a result of today’s action, U.S. persons are prohibited from engaging in transactions with these individuals, and assets they may hold under U.S. jurisdiction are frozen.
Abdul Rahim Ba’asyir, who may be in his early 30s, was allegedly part of al-Qaeda’s media outfit in Afghanistan and may have helped record the last wills and testaments of the 9/11 hijackers
As of early 2004, Abdul Rahim was reportedly al-Qaeda’s only contact in Southeast Asia, the department said.[More...]

Busted: Balraj Naidu For Providing Support To A Terrorist Organization, The Tamil Tigers
BALTIMORE—A federal jury today convicted Balraj Naidu, 48, a citizen of the Republic of Singapore, of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, the Justice Department announced.Images below the fold showing how peaceful the Tamil Tigers are. Also see: Chronology of Suicide Bomb Attacks by Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka
According to evidence presented at his five day trial, beginning in February 2006, Naidu and his co-conspirators attempted to purchase state of the art weaponry from China, Thailand, North Korea, the Philippines and Indonesia for the terrorist organization, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (Tamil Tigers) operating within Sri Lanka, to be used to fight against Sri Lankan government forces[....]
Naidu faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison for conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake scheduled sentencing for Dec. 16, 2010, at 11 a.m.
Thirunavukarasu Varatharasa, 40, a citizen of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka; Haji Subandi, 73, and retired Indonesian Marine Corps General Erick Wotulo, 62, both citizens of the Republic of Indonesia; and Haniffa Bin Osman, 59, a citizen of the Republic of Singapore, pleaded guilty to their participation in the conspiracy and were sentenced to 57 months, 37 months, 30 months and 37 months in prison, respectively[....]
Founded in 1976, the Tamil Tigers has advocated the violent overthrow of the Sri Lankan government, employing acts of violence, including suicide bombings, against both civilian and military targets. Approximately 200 such attacks have been attributed to the Tamil Tigers to date. The Tamil Tigers relies heavily upon supporters throughout the world to raise and launder money, acquire intelligence and purchase military use technology. The U.S. Department of State designated the Tamil Tigers as a Foreign Terrorist Organization in 1997. As such, the Tamil Tigers cannot legally raise money or procure operational equipment in the United States.
This is how they (LTTE) 'liberate' the innocent Tamil people in Sri Lanka. Feeding on the same people, once they(LTTE) lambasted to 'represent'.

Vietnam Going Nuclear
(Hanoi, Vietnam) Notably, there once was a time when the United States led the world in commercial nuclear power technology. That time is distant history.
Vietnam has announced plans to build eight nuclear power plants by 2030 as the Southeast Asian country strives to meet rising energy demand.Vietnam has already signed a deal with Russia to build the first plant.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved eight nuclear facilities, each with at least four reactors, to be built in central Vietnam with the total output of 15,000 megawatts to 16,000 megawatts over the next two decades, the government said on its Web site Wednesday.

Saudi Teacher On Trial For Funding Jakarta Hotel Bombs
A retired Saudi Arabian schoolteacher has been charged with providing the funds for the deadly attacks on two luxury hotels in Jakarta last July.
Al Khelaiw Ali Abdullah, 55, is accused of funnelling money through an internet cafe in West Java.
He is the fourth person to go on trial this month over the Jakarta bombings - along with the suspected driver, bag-man and helpers in the attacks.
The twin hotel suicide bombings killed seven people and injured 50 more.
The BBC's Indonesia correspondent Karishma Vaswani says that Mr Abdullah came to Indonesia from Saudi Arabia in November 2008.

10 Arrested in Malaysia Tied to al Qaeda Christmas Day Airplane Plot
10 men were arrested in Malaysia on suspicion that they were somehow linked to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. All of but one of them foreigners. Several of them Nigerians.
Which is pretty much par for the course for countries like Malaysia which are always pointing the finger elsewhere, thus denying that they themselves are knee deep in jihadis.
This is not to deny that the 10 weren't real threats, only that the so-called "moderate" Islamic countries like to divert attention away from their own populations of which a large minority do, in fact, support terrorism. A recent example being in Kenya where the authorities are quick to blame Somali immigrants rather then their own Muslim populations for widespread acts of violence.
If the 10 really do have "links" to the al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula plot to blow up an airplane, then what does this say about the international reach of al Qaeda's regional franchises? Let's not focus so much attention on the possibility of terror coming through Europe that we drop the ball and forget that the Salaafi jihad fan base can also be found in Southeast Asia, and thus planes coming from the East are just as vulnerable as planes coming from the West
Police last week acted quickly to forestall a serious threat to national security when they nabbed 10 terror suspects with links to international terrorist organisations.One has to wonder what is meant by "a religious group linked to Abdulmutallab"? Would the link be a mosque he attended in London? Or would that be the language school he attended in Yemen? Or do they mean al Qaeda itself?
The nine foreigners and a Malaysian were also believed to be linked to a Nigerian student who attempted to blow up a US-bound flight on Christmas Day.
Among the foreigners nabbed here were several Nigerians but the authorities are tight-lipped over the details.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the nine foreigners had only just arrived here when they were nabbed....
The New Straits Times learnt that the 10 suspects were members of a religious group linked to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, the Nigerian who was arrested in the United States after he attempted to detonate explosives sewn into his underwear on board Northwest Airlines flight 253, which was bound for Detroit from Amsterdam.

Former PM of "Moderate" Muslim Country: Avatar Proof that 9/11 Was Staged
Proving once again that the Jews can do anything they put their wascally minds to. James Cameron is Jewish, right?
“I am not sure now that Muslim terrorists carried out these attacks. There is evidence that the attacks were staged.And just like Ice Cube's jimmy, paranoia runs deep in the Muslim world.
“If they can make Avatar, they can make anything,” the former prime minister [Dr. Mahathir Mohamad] told a press conference here yesterday after delivering his speech at the General Conference for the Support of Al-Quds to aid the Palestinians....
“It is quite easy to promise during election time but you know there are forces in the United States which prevent the President from doing some things. One of the forces is the Jewish lobby, AIPAC,” he said.

Report: Al Qaeda in Indonesia Leader Arrested
Noordin Mohammad Top, who broke away from Jemaah Islamiya and in an internet statement claimed responsibility for the to now head al Qaeda in Indonesia, may have been captured!
First, news that the top Taliban commander in Pakistan may have been killed and now the top al Qaeda operative in Southeast Asia may have been arrested!
To quote Ice Cube: Today was a good day.
THE mastermind behind last month's bombing of a hotel in Jakarta, which killed three Australians, has been arrested, according to reports.From the FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists page:
Indonesian television said that police had been involved in a shoot-out in a village in central Java, and may have caught Noordin Mohammad Top....
[Al Jazeera] added that a "very reliable source" had confirmed his arrest.
Noordin Mohammad Top is reportedly an officer, recruiter, bombmaker, and trainer for the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) group that was involved in the bombings of a Bali nightclub, a Jakarta hotel, and the Australian Embassy in Indonesia between 2002 and 2004.Too early to break out M.C. Hammer?

Muslim Terrorists Behind Beheadings Killed/Captured
Good news: The Abu Sayyaf terrorists who had recently beheaded a farmer they were holding hostage and who had just released three female teachers have been captured and killed.
Philippine troops stormed a jungle hide-out of Muslim militants Wednesday, killing at least two rebel commanders and eight gunmen allegedly involved in a wave of kidnappings for ransom in the troubled south, officials said....May they all die a violent and ignoble death.
The target was a motley group of al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf militants and local gangsters believed to have been involved in the recent beheading of a kidnapped farmer and the abduction of three teachers who were freed Tuesday...
The Abu Sayyaf, blacklisted by Washington as a terrorist organization, is still holding at least seven hostages, including a Sri Lankan peace activist on Basilan and an Italian Red Cross worker on nearby Jolo, two predominantly Muslim areas where the militants operate.

Man Arrested Three Times on Terror Related Charges Also Raising Money for "Orphanage" that (shock) Turns Out Was Terrorist Training Camp
This is just so rich, I don't know where to start? The guys at National Terror Alert sent the story, so I'll link to them:
A British charity worker twice cleared of terror charges in this country is being hunted in Bangladesh after explosives were seized at an orphanage he founded.In addition to making small arms, the orphanage/madrassa is suspected of being a training camp for Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh.
The good news? An update on the story from today is that Dr. Faisal Mostafa has been arrested in Bangladesh.
The bad news?
Mostafa was given a suspended sentence for trying to board a aeroplane at Manchester airport last November with a a gas-powered pistol in his suitcase.By my count that's three terror related charges against Mostafa, not two. Why does it not surprise me one bit that a guy with a terror track record has been raising funds in Britain for a terrorist training camps in Bangladesh?
In 2002, Mostafa was cleared of conspiracy to cause explosions, after a surveillance operation in Birmingham in 2000....
As well as being acquitted of the 2002 charges, Mostafa was cleared during a trial 13 years ago of conspiring to cause explosions.
Back to National Terror Alert:
‘The matter is of serious concern to us.’Mostafa, who has a PhD in chemistry from Manchester Polytechnic'Ph.D. in chemistry. Terror supporter. Philanthropist. What could possibly go wrong?

Beheading Chic All the Rage in Ummah, Growing Influence of Evangelical Missionaries Suspected
Dozens of headlines over at Google News today tell us that Thai "insurgents" and "separatists" are suspected of beheading a number of people over the past week.
Suspected separatists on Sunday shot dead and beheaded a couple working on a rubber plantation in Yala province, part of Thailand's troubled deep south where an estimated 3,300 people have died violently over the past five years.Two soldiers also beheaded by the "insurgents". Related? Westerner found beheaded in Bangkok, foul play suspected.
In Pakistan two lovers were beheaded for no particular reason.
And in Saudi Arabia two police officers were beheaded for raping a girl. Which is good news, I guess, given that its usually the rape victim that is punished. I'm actually pretty surprised that the author of this story -- in very un-MSM fashion -- mentions what else will get your head severed from your neck in the Kingdom:
Rape, like apostasy, adultery, armed robbery, and drug trafficking, carries the death penalty in Saudi Arabia, where executions are held in public.Kudos to Spero News for bravely identifying that apostates risk the death penalty from our "allies" the Saudis.
Hat tip to ROP which noticed the trend.

"Moderate" Muslim Country Celebrates Valentines Day by ..... Arresting Unmarried Couples
In keeping with Stable Hand's Valentine's Day theme, here's the latest news from Malaysia:
Authorities in Malaysia arrested 26 unmarried Muslim couples in hotel rooms during Operation Valentine - aimed at curbing illegal premarital sex in this conservative country, an officer said Monday.I guess it could be worse. They could stone the women to death.
The couples, most under 30 years old, were detained for sharing rooms early Sunday in the beachside town of Kuantan in eastern Pahang state, said Badaruddin Ahmad Bustami, enforcement assistant director with the state’s Islamic department.
State authorities carry out raids each year on Valentine’s Day in this Muslim-majority country, where sharia laws make it illegal for unmarried Muslims to meet behind closed doors, Badaruddin said. Doing so constitutes a crime known as “khalwat,” or “close proximity,” which carries a maximum fine of 1,000 ringgit (US$280) and up to six months in prison.

"Separatists" Behead Man in Thailand
I just love this Earth Times article reprinted by Rantburg. It notes that those doing the beheading are "separatists" and "insurgents", no religion is mentioned:
Suspected separatists shot dead two militia volunteers Monday in a rubber plantation in the violence-plagued province of Pattani, before slicing their throats and burning their bodies. The ambush occurred at 1:30 pm in Yanrang district of Pattani, 750 kilometres south of Bangkok, a notorious hotbed for insurgents.Those doing the killing have no religious affiliation, yet the story goes out of the way to mention that one of the victims is Muslim:
The assailants, armed with AK 47s, shot dead Nihasan Niarae, 30, and Chuea Choktirat, 56, as they drove through a rubber plantation on a motorcycle. They then decapitated Nihasan, a Thai-Muslim, and sliced Chuea's throat, poured petrol on both bodies and burned them. Both men were volunteer militia.The fate of collaborators and apostates, no? The article then goes on to state that thousands of Buddhists have been killed, and so have thousands of Muslims:
It was the latest atrocity in the five-year-old conflict in Thailand's deep South that has cost the state an estimated 109 billion baht (3.1 billion dollars) and lost 3,287 lives. Deep South Watch, an independent research group that monitors the conflict, has put the southern death toll since January 2004 at 3,287 lives, of whom 1,788 were Thai Muslims and 1,348 Thai Buddhists, with another 5,405 people woundedThe casual reader is then left with the impression that the Muslim victim in the article was beheaded by a Buddhist, in a tit for tat -- cycle of violence -- civil war in which no one is to blame.
The only problem is that the separatists in question are seeking a Muslim state based on Islamic law. There are no Buddhist separatists in Thailand. And, like most victims of Islamist aggression, at least one of the victims here was also Muslim.
Nearly half of Southern Thailand's Buddhists have been ethnically cleansed since 2004. Forced to leave for fear of retribution by Islamists bent on yet another state to call their own.
Where are the San Francisco marches in support of Thai Buddhists?

Thai Military Accused of Setting Burmese Refugees Adrift
After fleeing oppression in Burma, refugees were rounded up by the Thai military in a crackdown on illegal immigration.
Mainly Rohingya Muslims from western Burma, about 1,000 refugees were detained on the island of Koh Sai Baed before being towed into international waters and allegedly abandoned at sea.
About 500 men are now missing and feared drowned, and Thailand faces the possibility of bodies washing up on popular tourist beaches in Phang Nga and Phuket.At the center of the scandal, Thai Army Colonel Manat Kongpat has reportedly denied the allegations.
Since media reports began circulating about the mistreatment of the refugees, Thailand has faced international condemnation, and the Prime Minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, has promised an investigation.

According to Press TV a senior LeT commander has been killed by the Indian Military.
LeT and their "charity" Jamaat-Ud-Dawa is responsible for the Mumbai terror attack.
The Indian military says it has killed a senior military commander of banned Pakistani group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) in Kashmir region.
The militant commander was identified as Iqbal Malik, the LeT's southern Kashmir commander, the military said in a statement released on Friday.
It added that Malik and two other insurgents were killed earlier in the day as they were trapped in a cave during an exchange of fire in mountainous Doda district, south of Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir.
"Three LeT militants, including senior commander Iqbal Malik, who got holed up in a mountain cave were killed after a fierce eight-hour-long encounter today," Reuters quoted an unnamed army spokesman as saying.

Blogger Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison
(Rangoon, Burma) A 28-year-old Burmese blogger, Nay Phone Latt, has been sentenced to 20 and one-half years in prison after questionable charges were rammed through a one-sided court proceeding.
Simply put, Latt is going to prison because the military junta became outraged by his reporting of actual events and circumstances in Burma (Myanmar) on his blog.
Reporters Without Borders and the Burma Media Association have expressed outrage and called for Nay Phone Latt's immediate release. They have also asked for bloggers worldwide to exhibit solidarity with Nay Phone Latt.
Posting of photos and writing to Burmese embassies are encouraged. (more)

Burmese Leaders Taking Credit for Aid Shipments
(Yangon, Burma/Myanmar) The military thugs running the country of Burma/Myanmar have finally allowed some international relief efforts to commence, but not without propagandizing the situation to their benefit.
"We have already seen regional commanders putting their names on the side of aid shipments from Asia, saying this was a gift from them and then distributing it in their region," said Mark Farmaner, director of Burma Campaign UK, which campaigns for human rights and democracy in the country.Experts continue to estimate that the dead will exceed 100,000.
"It is not going to areas where it is most in need," he said in London.
State media say 23,335 people died and 37,019 are missing from Cyclone Nargis, which submerged entire villages in the Irrawaddy delta.

Plot to Attack U.S. Embassy in Philippines Foiled
Do the Filipinos have a CAIR of their own-- FAIR, maybe? You know, the kind of group that screams racial profiling every time a Muslim is detained for some suspicious activity or another? Even though Islam, you know, isn't a race.
But I digress, 3 Middle Easterners arrested in Philippines over plot to attack the U.S., British, Australian and Israeli embassies in Manila. Can you call it racial profiling when one group of brown people is suspicious of another group of brown people? I'm kinda unclear on the social norms governing the use of race baiting, especially when said race baiting has nothing to do with race.
Philippine authorities say they have arrested three suspected Middle Eastern militants suspected of involvement in a plot to bomb the Israeli and three other foreign embassies in Manila....It will be interesting to find out the relationship between these men and the Southeast Asian Islamist terror groups Jemaah Islamiyah & Abu Sayyaf.
Ermita refused to provide details, but two senior Filipino security officials told The Associated Press that investigators were verifying intelligence information that the three may have been involved in an active plot to bomb the U.S., British, Australian and Israeli embassies in Manila.

Myanmar: Generals Refuse to Shoot Monks
(Yangon, Myanmar) There appears to be disagreement in the ranks of the Myanmar's military junta.
Myanmar's ruling junta have detained five generals and more than 400 soldiers for disobeying orders to shoot and beat monks and other activists who took part in recent protests in Yangon, an official said Monday.Also being reported is a wide disparity in the numbers of deaths. The government announced about 10 people were killed during last week's protests. Other sources contend that the death count is much higher. In any event, one hopes that disobedience in the military will lead to a less oppressive thugocracy.
The official, who asked for anonymity out of fear he would be punished by the junta, said it was the first sign of divisions in the country's secretive establishment.
"The five generals expressed their refusal to deploy their troops against the monks openly. They were then quickly put into detention by the junta.
"Some 400 soldiers of the Sikai Division near Mandalay (Myanmar's second largest city) also put down their guns in front of the monks, and asked for their forgiveness as they fully realized they had committed the biggest sin," he told The Jakarta Post.
The official refused to disclose the names of the generals or give further details on where the generals and the soldiers were detained.

Top Terrorist Arrested in Indonesia
Earlier this week we announced the capture of Abu Dujana, the top military leader of Jemaah Islamiyah. Today it was announced that the head of Southeast Asia's al Qaeda affiliate organization was also arrested. He is known simply as Zarkasih.
Indonesian police said Friday that one of a group of suspected terrorists seized in a raid is the head of Jemaah Islamiyah -- the al-Qaeda-linked terror network blamed for attacks including the deadly Bali bombings.I've got to say that the news coming out of Indonesia has been pretty good lately.
Known simply as Zarkasih, the alleged leader of the Southeast Asian terror groupwas apprehended at the same time as its confessed military leader, Abu Dujana, whose arrest was announced on Tuesday, Brig. Gen. Surya Dharma said .

Judith Apter Klinghoffer notes that over 70 Buddhist teachers have been murdered in cold blood by Islamists in Thailand. Three this week. Where is the outrage?
Despite a Muslim now in charge in Thailand after a coup which ousted the democratically elected Buddhist head of government, the 'insurgents' are still not satisfied. And what, exactly, are the 'insurgents' demanding? Sharia law.

Plot to Overthrow Laotian Government
(Fresno, California) Although it may sometimes appear that plotting to overthrow the U.S. government is an everyday political exercise, plotting to overthrow a foreign government while on U.S. soil is a serious felony.
Neighbors said federal agents swarmed a house about 10 Monday morning. Those who live on the street say they showed up in military type vehicles with full body armor on and large guns.It wasn't too long ago that America actually helped in plots to overthrow communist governments. Times have changed. The U.S. now helps protect the commies.
It's just one of 8 places searched in the Central Valley in an investigation that has international ties. One by one FBI and ATF agents raided several homes and at least one business.
Government Officials are tying together an investigation that has spanned 6 months. Under arrest are 8 people, including several prominent Hmong leaders.
77 year old General Vang Pao is being charged as the ringleader for plotting to overthrow the communist government of Laos. Also charged are Lo Cha Thao of Clovis, Hue Vang of Fresno, Lou Tao of Sacramento, Youa True Vang of Sanger, Chung Yang Tao of Fresno, Chue Lowe of Stockton and Seng Vue of Fresno.
Federal Officials say the group was planning to make an initial purchase of 125 AK-47 assault rifles, 20 thousand rounds of ammunition and crates of smoke grenades.

Al Qaeda Demands Mohammed be Declared 'Superman of World'
You. Can't. Make. This. Stuff. Up. CNN:
Three simultaneous bomb blasts rocked separate railway terminals in Bangladesh on Tuesday, with militant slogans claiming to be from al Qaeda found at two of the sites.....Okay, I'll do it.
"... If Hazrat (Prophet) Mohammad is not declared the superman of the world by May 10, all non-governmental organizations will be blown up," the slogans on the metal sheets read in the Bengali language. They were signed "the al Qaeda network" in English.
By the authority vested in me by the Halliburton Corporation, the Illuminati, and various other Zionist-Crusader fronts, I solemnly declare Muhammed to be the Superman of the World.

Dubai Ports Ship Stolen 4WD Vehicles
(Kelang, Malaysia) The theft of four-wheel drive vehicles by organized crime syndicates has been big business in Malaysia with buyers typically in Thailand and other southeast Asian nations. In the latest news, however, buyers in other destinations have emerged for the stolen 4WDs and transshipment is through the ports of Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
According to Police Chief Assistant Commissioner Rodwan Mohd Yusof:
"We believe the UAE is a point of transit before the stolen vehicles are shipped to new markets and this is said to include Afghanistan, Pakistan and Africa," he said.In a recent bust, police recovered over 30 four-wheel drive vehicles in shipping containers destined for Dubai and transshipment to locations with, presumably, bad roads.
If the management controls over Dubai ports fail to prevent international trade in stolen, difficult to conceal, goods, one must wonder what other contraband makes it through. Also, is it logical to assume that the Dubai swag-movers are the same crowd that last year wanted to take over the operation of American ports?

Chotiros Suriyawong's Black Dress
BANGKOK, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- The Thai actress known as "Amy" has been ordered to perform community service for wearing a dress deemed too revealing at an awards ceremony.
Chotiros Suriyawong, 22, has also been axed from her latest movie project amid the uproar over her couture at Thailand's version of the Academy Awards.
The Independent described the daring frock as one based on "Elizabeth Hurley's well-known safety-pin number." The Versace number Hurley wore to a premier in 1994 featured a neckline that didn't so much plunge as free fall.
The newspaper said Amy was caught up in a "morality drive" launched by the military government that seized power in Thailand last fall.

Singapore : Surfing for Tammy NYP?
You'd better watch your step if you're surfing the internet for Tammy NYP (or anything else, for that matter) in Singapore. They have some pretty harsh penalties for "creative" methods of internet access over there:
A Singaporean teenager who illegally tapped into a neighbour's wireless Internet network - an offense the city-state deems punishable by jail - was placed on 18 months' probation by a district court on Tuesday.His probation includes a total ban on internet access:
The court also ordered Garyl Tan Jia Luo, 17, to carry out 80 hours of community service after he admitted linking his computer to his neighbour's wireless router to access the Internet without permission.
Tan could have been jailed up to three years and fined $S10,000. ...
[Judge] Reddy said Tan should seek "disciplined and structured psychiatric and psychological intervention" to cure his [internet] addiction.
what's potentially worse is the fact that he is not allowed to access the internet during his stint. Apparently, the judge felt this was the best way to break him of his internet addiction...OK, no word on whether Garyl Tan Jia Luo was surfing for Tammy NYP in particular, but I'll wager he was.

No Child Left Behind, Islamofascist Version
BANGKOK, Thailand - Hundreds of schools in Thailand's restive south will shut their doors in response to increasingly vicious attacks by suspected Muslim insurgents against teachers and schools, a regional education representative said.
The closure, which begins Monday, affects all 336 primary and secondary schools in the province of Pattani, where two teachers were shot and killed by suspected insurgents in the past two days. In one of the killings, attackers shot a school principal Friday, and then set his body on fire.
"Teachers can't bear what has happened," said Bunsom Thongsriprai, president of Teachers' Association in Pattani. "They are paranoid, worried and afraid." He said the schools will reopen when teachers feel safe.

Coup in Thailand?
State of emergency declared in Thailand. Possible coup attempt. If successful, I've no idea what this would mean to the war on terror. Thailand is in a hot war with Muslim rebels in the south.
