Al-Qaeda Terrorist Sentenced to Life
Channel NewsAsia

A high-level al-Qaeda associate was sentenced by a New York court Friday to life in prison for plotting to bomb US embassies in Manila and Singapore, in a case shrouded in secrecy since his arrest in 2002. Mohammed Mansour Jabarah pleaded guilty six years ago to conspiracy to kill US citizens in plots against the two embassies. Prosecutors had requested Jabarah, a Canadian citizen of Iraqi descent, be handed down a life sentence. The sentence was due to "the nature of your participation in two conspiracies at the very highest level," federal judge Barbara Jones said...According to US agents, Jabarah met al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden and was sent by Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 attacks, to meet Jemaah Islamiyah figures in Southeast Asia to plan the bombings...According to a sentencing memorandum produced by US prosecutors, Jabarah secretly plotted to kill US agents with whom he was supposedly cooperating after his arrest in Oman in 2002...Documents drafted by Jabarah while in jail "demonstrated his commitment to waging jihad against the infidels, killing his captors, and presumably himself," it said.

FBI whistleblower Bassem Youssef (right), a decorated FBI supervisor who was born in Egypt, said that jealousy, discrimination and flawed directives hinder the agency's attempts to fight terrorism.

An air strike has killed a Hamas military leader in Gaza who took part in the 2006 capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.

The Israeli military said it "targeted and identified hitting Nafiz Mansur, a Hamas terror operative who was involved in terror attacks against Israel".

The Islamist Hamas movement confirmed Mansur's death and said it would "respond to this crime at the adequate time and place". [read more]

Title: Deployment of aircraft carrier a US 'reminder' to Iran, says Gates

The US defence secretary, Robert Gates, said yesterday the deployment of a second aircraft carrier to the Gulf could serve as a "reminder" to Iran of American resolve to defend its interests in the region.

Gates denied the arrival of a new carrier represented an escalation, pointing out that US naval strength in the Gulf rises and falls constantly with routine naval deployments, but it comes at a time of heightened rhetoric from Washington about Iran's role in the Iraqi insurgency.

In the next few days US officers in Baghdad are expected to mount a display of recently-made Iranian arms alleged to have been seized from insurgents.

CBS News reported the Pentagon has ordered commanders to explore new options for attacking Iran and that the state department was formulating an ultimatum calling on Iran to stop arms smuggling into Iraq. The reports were denied by US officials. [Read More]
