Forecaster predicts busy 2007 U.S. hurricane season Thu Dec 7, 12:10 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) The United States, which has emerged from this year's hurricane season largely unscathed, should brace itself for a potentially devastating hurricane season in 2007, a leading windstorm forecaster warned. A long-range forecast for next year issued by Tropical Storm Risk, a London-based forecaster, on Thursday predicted an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season with a strong probability that more hurricanes will slam into the United States than usual, based on average figures for the period 1950 to 2006.It said that 16 tropical storms were likely to occur in the Atlantic basin, nine of which would be hurricanes and four likely to be so-called intense hurricanes.Five tropical storms are likely to hit America, of which two will be hurricanes, TSR said.

It anticipated a combination of conditions that would indicate a higher-than-average hurricane season.In 2007 the trade winds, which blow westwards from the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean Sea, will be weaker than normal, while the sea temperatures between west Africa and the Caribbean, where many hurricanes form, will be warmer than normal, TSR said.For those who may be inclined to disregard such ominous warnings following this year's widely inaccurate predictions of another string of major storms similar to those that ravaged the U.S. coast in 2004 and 2005, TSR said an unusual mix of conditions led to fewer windstorms than were predicted.The below-average 2006 hurricane season was due to the presence of considerable African dry air and Saharan dust during August and September, which inhibited thunderstorm occurrence and therefore tropical storm development, and to the unexpected onset of El Nino conditions from mid-September, TSR said.There is no precedent for these factors together having been so influential before, it added.

Severe tornado hits London, 6 injured By Tahani Karrar
Thu Dec 7, 11:57 AM ET


LONDON (Reuters) A severe tornado ripped roofs off homes and tore down walls in a residential area of northwest London on Thursday, injuring six people.Television footage showed a trail of destruction in Kensal Rise, with trees uprooted and cars damaged by falling debris. Tornadoes in Britain are normally weak and rarely cause damage.Local resident Daniel Bidgood was in his house when the tornado, which he said was about 20 meters (yards) across, smashed his windows.It was very large and certainly very powerful, he told BBC television. You could see it ripping up heavy chunks of mortar and smashing it into cars.One man in his 50's was taken to hospital with head injuries. Five other adults were treated for shock and minor injuries after the tornado struck at around 1100 GMT.Around 100 houses were damaged, a Fire Brigade spokesman said, so I would imagine several hundred people may be displaced. Some of those evacuated were being housed in local churches.More than 20 fire engines were sent to the scene and the area was cordoned off.

SEVERE

The London tornado was rated at T4 on a scale of 0 to 10. This means winds were moving at between 115 and 136 mph (185-219 kph), rating the tornado as severe, said a spokesman for the Meteorological Office.Britain experiences between 30 and 40 tornadoes in an average year, he said, but they rarely hit built-up areas. In July 2005, a tornado in Birmingham, central England, damaged dozens of homes.The cost in London could run into millions of pounds. Houses in the area cost an average 550,000 pounds ($1.08 million), a local estate agent said. The Association of British Insurers said most home insurance policies would cover the costs.

You're not likely to find the word tornado in a UK insurance policy, a spokesman said. But it would be covered under storm damage.Tornadoes are a vortex of swirling air caused by a build-up of heavy thunder clouds. The Met Office spokesman said it was impossible to tell if global warming had a role to play in the London tornado.The Met Office issued severe weather warnings for southern England, with heavy rains and winds gusting up to 70 miles per hour, after the warmest autumn in the last 347 years.(Additional reporting by Jeremy Lovell, Tim Castle and Jon Hemming)

Nearly 100 Vietnamese dead or missing in typhoon Thu Dec 7, 10:14 AM ET

HANOI (Reuters) Nearly 100 people were killed or are missing after a typhoon hit the southern coast of Vietnam this week, damaging hundreds of thousands of flimsy homes, a government report said on Thursday.

The national flood and storm control center said 67 people were confirmed dead and 31 were missing in the aftermath of Typhoon Durian, which killed hundreds in the Philippines after hitting the archipelago last Thursday.Vietnam Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, who toured damaged areas of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province on Wednesday, postponed trips to Singapore and Malaysia, a government spokesman said. He said Dung would still attend a weekend summit of 10 ASEAN members plus India, Australia and New Zealand in the Philippines.

Durian was Vietnam's ninth storm of the year and it damaged or destroyed more than 212,000 homes and sank 808 fishing vessels, Thursday's government report said.Every year, hundreds or even thousands of people are killed in tropical storms and typhoons that batter flimsy dwellings and fishing boats or cause flooding and mudslides in the mostly rural Southeast Asian country of 84 million people.In May, hundreds of Vietnamese fishermen were lost in a typhoon named Chanchu. In October, another typhoon, Xangsane, killed at least 70 and destroyed or submerged hundreds of thousands of homes when it struck the central coastal city of Danang, despite early warnings and preparations.

El Nino forecast to peak in winter and fade by spring Thu Dec 7, 9:15 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) El Nino, a weather anomaly which typically wreaks havoc but was a key factor for a mild 2006 hurricane season, will peak this winter and gradually vanish by spring, a U.S. government agency predicted Thursday. The Climate Prediction Center, which tracks El Nino and is part of the U.S. National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, said the weather pattern will peak during the northern hemisphere winter followed by weakening during March to May 2007.

El Nino is an abnormal warming of waters in the equatorial Pacific Ocean that disrupts weather patterns from the Pacific all the way to Africa.It normally causes drought in such countries as Australia, Indonesia and the Philippines while spawning rampant flooding in Latin American nations like Ecuador and Chile, the world's top producer of copper.This year's El Nino was widely credited with drastically curtailing the formation of hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean, giving a respite to the U.S. Gulf Coast and Central American countries hit hard during the record setting hurricane season of 2005.

There were only nine tropical storms and hurricanes this year, well down from the 28 named storms of 2005 including Katrina and Rita which flooded New Orleans and devastated the coasts of Louisiana and Mississippi.El Nino means little boy in Spanish, but the pattern was named after the Christ child after it was first noticed by Latin American anchovy fishermen in the 19th century, mostly because this anomaly would peak during Christmastime.

The Center said typical El Nino effects over North America during January to March 2007 would see warmer-than-average temperatures over western and central Canada, and over the northwestern and northern United States.There would also be wetter-than-average conditions over portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast and Florida, and drier-than-average conditions in the Ohio Valley and in portions of the Pacific Northwest, it projected.From December to March, the weather will be drier than normal over most of Malaysia, Indonesia, northern and eastern Australia, some of the U.S.-affiliated islands in the tropical North Pacific (and) northern South America and southeastern Africa, the Center forecast.And it will be wetter-than-average in equatorial East Africa, the central South American countries of Uruguay, northeastern Argentina, southeastern Paraguay and southern Brazil, as well as along the coasts of Ecuador and northern Peru, according to the Center's forecast.The last severe El Nino took place in 1997/98, killing more than 2,000 people and causing damage that topped $33 billion.The Center's monthly update is available on its Web site: http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis monitoring/ensoa dvisory/index.html

Biting cold...but relief ahead J. Erdman, Sr. Meteorologist, The Weather Channel DEC 07,07

Midwest

Is the cold of the past week already making you long for warmer climates?Fortunately, relief is on the way this weekend. Persistent bands of lake-manufactured snow buried parts of Michigan and far northern Wisconsin. Twenty inches was estimated in Grand Junction, Mich. Up to 10 inches blanketed Thompson, Ohio. With the passage of a strong Arctic cold front, measurable snow was witnessed into northern Kentucky, including Louisville and Frankfort. Numerous lake-effect snow warnings continue for the snowbelts of Michigan, northern Indiana, and northeast Ohio tonight. Hardest hit tonight into early Friday appears to be the Lake Erie snowbelt northeast of Cleveland, where a persistent band or bands coming off both Lakes Huron and Erie may dump over 6" additional snowfall. The lake-effect machine should slow to a crawl as Friday wears on, as warmer air aloft begins its intrusion on the region. In the meantime, Thursday was another raw one over much of the Ohio Valley, Great Lakes and Upper Midwest. Wind chills as cold as -30 were measured in parts of North Dakota and Minnesota. Williston, N.D. bottomed out at -21 this morning.

Minneapolis/St. Paul dipped below zero for the first time since February. Mid-afternoon temperatures in the teens kept many still without power in Missouri and Illinois shivering. Lows tonight will plummet again into the single digits over areas still with snowpack from southeast Kansas to southeast Wisconsin. In fact, this should be Chicagoland's coldest night of the season, with mid-single digits at O'Hare and some outer suburbs dipping below zero.

The first signs of a warming trend may appear tonight, although it may not feel so in the Twin Cities. Southwest winds may keep the mercury above zero tonight. A major shift in the polar jet stream will give the beleaguered region a break from the cold. This polar jet will retreat into Canada, trapping the coldest air north of the border.

With high pressure migrating into the Southeast, Friday, warmer southwest winds will spread from the Plains states into the Great Lakes. Forties should return to Kansas City and Omaha. Thirties should feel much less cold in St. Louis. Fifties will spread up the High Plains. Twenties should feel a tad more tolerable in the Windy City. This weekend will bring even warmer news. Saturday, thirties will return to Cleveland and Chicago. Forties revisit St. Louis. Sunday, a weak weather system may keep some in the Missouri Valley and Great Lakes under clouds and perhaps light precipitation, holding temperatures in the 30s (Great Lakes) or 40s (Ohio & mid-Mississippi Valleys).

Northeast

Cold winds and heavy lake-manufactured snow will be the rule in the Northeast tonight through early Friday. Cold north to northwest winds behind an Arctic cold front have already churned out locally heavy snow in the snowbelts of Lake Erie. Eight inches of snow had blanketed Cassadaga, N.Y. by midday Thursday. Lake-effect snow warnings continue from northwest Pennsylvania to southwest New York, and also to the leeward side of Lake Ontario, including Syracuse. A particularly persistent band of snow generated by northwest winds off both Lakes Huron and Erie and aided by ascent over up hilly terrain, should dump storm totals of over 10" by Friday morning in northwest Pennsylvania and far southwest New York State. Accumulating snow should also extend from the Allagash of Maine to the mountains of West Virginia. Generally 1" to as much as 5" of snow is possible through Friday from northern New England to New York's Hudson Valley (not NYC metro). A secondary tongue of 6" or more is expected from the Lake Ontario's snowbelts to the mountains of southwest Pennsylvania, perhaps even the highest elevations of West Virginia. By late Friday, lake-effect should be on the wane, except for the Tug Hill Plateau. The rest of the Northeast will be shivering on Friday. With cold northwest winds reinforcing the intrusion of Arctic air, highs in the I-95 corridor will be in the low-mid 30s, at best. Wind chills in the teens or 20s will be the rule. Twenties, and a few teens, will feel more like January in the Northeast's interior. Fortunately, a fundamental shift in the polar jet stream will bring milder air into the region into next week. The warm-up begins Saturday, as westerly winds around southeast U.S. high pressure import warmer air. Forties should return to the Northeast Megalopolis Saturday, and fifties for highs could be the rule from New York City to the Nation's Capital next week. The next major frontal system doesn't look to impact the region until the middle of next week.

South

The coldest night of the season, for some in almost 2 years, is in store in parts of the South. An Arctic front will surge southward into the Gulf of Mexico overnight tonight. Lows Friday morning will be in the 20s as far south as New Orleans, Mobile, and Ocala, Fla. Dallas-Ft. Worth and Atlanta will shiver in the low 20s. Teens will plunge deep into Mississippi, Alabama, and north Georgia.

These readings will threaten daily record lows in Birmingham and Mobile, among other locations. Additionally, with high pressure over the Southern Plains tonight, strong north winds will persist through the night and early morning Friday over the Tennessee Valley, Carolinas, and the Gulf Coast.

Wind chills in the 20s are possible in central and even coastal Texas, including Houston and San Antonio. Twenties for wind chills will also feel raw in northern Florida. Low teens or even single-digit wind chills are possible in the Tennessee Valley early Friday. In fact, a wind chill advisory has been posted for the southern Appalachians, where readings from 5 to 10 below zero are possible. A couple inches of snow is possible, as well, in the Smokies tonight, before ending early Friday morning. Highs Friday will be stuck in the 40s from the coastal Carolinas to Deep South Texas. Fifties will be the warmest readings of the day in northern and central Florida, including Orlando and Tampa. Fortunately, warmer times are ahead. The sting of the cold dome of high pressure will mellow with time this weekend as the high slowly shifts onto the Southeast seaboard. Southerly winds around the west side of this high will slowly moderate temperatures in the Southern Plains. Highs Saturday should return to the 50s in much of the South. Sixties and a few seventies should reappear along the Gulf Coast and Deep South. The only fly in this ointment will be the southern branch of the jet stream, the subtropical jet, keeping skies cloudy in south Texas. Light rain is possible Friday in the Rio Grande Valley, with some snow or ice possible in the Big Bend region. Stubborn showers could persist in South Texas, including South Padre Island Saturday, possibly spreading up the Texas Coast Sunday.

West

A shift in the upper-level wind pattern will have implications for parts of the West this weekend and next week. Following a week of virtually dry weather, the door to frequent Pacific fronts will be opened again in the Pacific Northwest. The first of these fronts will arrive Friday afternoon, spreading rain down the coast from Washington's Olympic peninsula to central California, including the San Francisco Bay area.

Some light showers may spread as far south as Point Conception, however, most of the L.A. Basin should be simply cloudy and dry from this first system. This weak weather-maker will then spread light mountain snow into the northern Rockies and Wasatch. A second system should arrive Saturday night into Sunday, and may spread a few showers as far south as Los Angeles. Neither of these systems look particularly menacing, with widespread heavy rain and/or snow unlikely anywhere from Washington to California. A more typical, powerful storm may take aim on the Pacific Northwest Monday, and again the middle of next week.

The Temple Institute
Breaking News Bulletin
Kislev 17, 5767/ December 7, 2006


Rabbi Yisrael Ariel, founder and head of The Temple Institute was arrested by police this morning (December 7) and taken into custody for investigation on the background of the outspoken stand the rabbi has taken against the government actions in regards to the disengagement of two summers ago, and those who actively participated in it. This outrageous abuse of Rabbi Ariel's basic right to express himself in accordance with his beliefs is no more than the fruit of relentless political harassment against all citizens of the State of Israel who speak forthrightly against government policies directed toward the uprooting of Jews in the land of Israel.

As of this writing, Rabbi Ariel is currently being questioned by police.

We encourage all our friends and supporters, and all to whom the future of the Jewish nation in the land of Israel is dear to their hearts, to express your outrage. Please send a fax of protest to Public Security Minister Avi Dichter: 972-(0)2-530-8039

This Week with Rabbi Eckstein
December 7, 2006


Dear Friend of The Fellowship,

On January 28, 2007, The Fellowship's International Day of Prayer and Solidarity with Israel will again unite millions of Christians and churches around the world to pray for God's blessing on the people and land of Israel, in fulfillment of God's command in Psalm 122:6-9:

Pray for peace in Jerusalem. May all who love this city prosper.
O Jerusalem, may there be peace within your walls and prosperity in your palaces.
For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, May you have peace.
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
I will seek what is best for you, O Jerusalem. (New Living Translation)

Clearly, Israel is greatly in need of our prayers and support. This year alone, we have seen a number of events that have threatened her stability and security, and could have the gravest implications for her future—among them the election of the terrorist Hamas government in the Palestinian territories, Hezbollah's kidnapping of Israeli soldiers and subsequent launching of a devastating war against Israel, and the continued pursuit of nuclear weapons by Iran, a country dedicated to destruction of the Jewish state.

Even today, Israel's enemies continue to threaten her people with terrorist violence and spread lies about her that are often taken as truth by the news media. If ever there is a time for us to stand up and take our positions as watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem, who will never be silent day or night (Isaiah 62:6), this is it.Today I hope you'll heed this call by joining millions of Christians around the world signing our Day of Prayer Covenant and committing to pray for Israel on Sunday, January 28, 2007. We have a special Day of Prayer Action Kit we would like to send you free of charge that will make it easy for you or your church to do so. I ask you to join us in prayer, trusting God's promise to bless those who bless the Jewish people.With your help, our 2007 Day of Prayer will bring together an even larger group of people to offer prayers to God on Israel's behalf—and Israel will again know that Christians are strong allies in her ongoing struggle for peace and security.

With prayers for shalom, peace,

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

Important Mideast declaration signed at Tampere EU conference
EU states, as well as Arabs and Israel approve text DEC 07,06,Erkki Tuomioja


The European Union and Mediterranean countries reached agreement in Tampere on Tuesday on a joint declaration on a number of issues, including the Middle East peace process.The statement confirms that the partners are committed to a just, comprehensive, and sustainable solution in the conflict between Israel and the Arabs.The text was accepted unanimously, although Foreign Minister Erkki Tuomioja said that lengthy discussion was needed first.

In addition to the EU countries, signatories included Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt. Signing on behalf of the Palestinians was former cabinet minister Nabil Shaath, who is a close advisor of President Mahmoud Abbas. The declaration was approved at the end of the two-day Euro-Mediterranean Conference of Ministers of Foreign Affairs (EUROMED).

The text on the Middle East was fairly general in its language. Foreign Minister Tuomioja said that it is not intended to substitute any other initiatives and actions that have been taken on behalf of peace. It nevertheless offers us important political framework for 35 states, Tuomioja noted at the end of the meeting on Tuesday.He praised the discussions held on the Middle East, which began at Monday evening’s working dinner, as very good and constructive, although they were also time-consuming. Israel and the Palestinians began a cease fire in Gaza on Sunday. In the statements issued in Tampere, the ministers called for revitalised efforts to promote the peace process in the whole Middle East.Both Arab League Secretary-General Amr Mussa and Foreign Minister Walid al-Moualem of Israel’s arch-enemy Syria, expressed their support for recent developments. We hope that the cease fire will be achieved also for the West Bank, Moualem said. HS International Edition:

UN General Assembly: Israel must withdraw from East Jerusalem, Golan
Prophecy news watch Dec 06,06


The General Assembly approved six pro-Palestinian resolutions over United States and Israeli objections, culminating the annual United Nations debate aimed at showing the world body's solidarity with Palestinian demands for an independent homeland. At the end of three days of speeches, the 192-member world body reaffirmed the UN's responsibility regarding the Palestinian question and stressed the Palestinian peoples' right to self-determination and an independent state. In the key resolution on the Peaceful Settlement of the Question of Palestine, the General Assembly welcomed the cease-fire in Gaza and urged both sides to maintain the truce which it said could pave the way for negotiations towards a solution to the conflict. The Palestinian UN Observer, Riyad Mansour, said the vote - 157 to 7 with 10 abstentions - showed massive support in the international community for moving forward on the peace process.

Advancing peace?

The only way to reverse all the ills that we are witnessing in the Middle East is to accept the fact that there can only be a negotiated solution to the question of Palestine and the Arab-Israeli conflict, Mansour told the assembly. It is unfortunate to say, at the least, that each time the Arabs have extended their hand, it was violently rejected by Israel. The resolutions are not legally binding - as
Security Council resolutions are - but they are a reflection of world opinion. Each of the six resolution received more than 100 yes votes. The United States, Israel, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and Palau voted against all six resolutions. The only other resolution to top 150 yes votes declared any attempt to impose Israel's laws, jurisdiction and administration on Jerusalem illegal, and therefore null and void. It was approved by a vote of 157-6 with 10 abstentions. The other resolutions demanded that Israel withdraw from the Golan Heights and supported the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the UN Secretariat's Division for Palestinian Rights, and the UN's special information program on the question of Palestine.

US opposition

US Diplomat Ned Siegel opposed the Golan Heights resolution, saying it prejudged the outcome of negotiations between Israel and Syria. He accused Syria of using the General Assembly to direct accusations at Israel even as it flaunts a number of Security Council resolutions ... With its refusal to treat Lebanon as a genuinely sovereign country. We would like to reiterate our alarm at indications that Syria is working with Hizbullah and other Lebanese allies to destabilize the democratically elected Government of Lebanon, Siegel said. Syria's UN Ambassador Bashar Ja'afari accused the US Of using its veto in the Security Council to protect its Israeli friends and prevent them from complying with UN Resolutions. After the vote in favor of the Golan Heights resoution - 107-6 with 60 abstentions - Ja'afari thanked members for their support for Syria's right to retrieve its land occupied by Israel in 1967. He appealed for a just peace and for the liberation of the Golan Heights. It should be noted that these resolutions are not binding since they were decided in the General Assembly.

Resolutions don't promote peace

The Foreign Ministry said in response to the resolutions: Unfortunately, for a number of decades, the UN General Assembly tends to automatically pass a series of one-sided, unbalanced, anti-Israel resolutions from year to year. These resolutions don't promote peace and don't contribute anything to the Israelis or the Palestinians. The resolutions damage the status of the UN and its capacity to be involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Foreign Ministry said in response. Vice Premier Shimon Peres, who is visiting New York, met with incoming UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and discussed the situation in the Middle East with him. After the meeting, Peres said, The Muslims and the Palestinians in the UN are presenting a one-sided and distorted picture. If the situation continues, UN forces in the region will weaken. Peres gave the example of the commission of inquiry into the Israeli shelling of Beit Hanoun, saying that whoever wants to investigate needs to start with the Palestinian aggression, and not the Israeli response to it.

Storm of Protest Against Tamir Changes in Textbook Maps
By Hana Levi Julian (INN)


Education Minister Yuli Tamir's order to return the Green Line to maps of Israel in new textbooks was met with a firestorm of protest. Tamir, a former member of the Peace Now group, ordered her staff to ensure that textbook maps show the pre-1967 borders that separate Judea, Samaria and Gaza from the rest of Israel. How can we demand that the Arab world recognize our borders if we don’t recognize the June 1967 borders, she asked.The Education Minister claimed that any decision made on this issue is a political one, but also insisted that she had made the changes in the interest of improving Israeli education. We teach, for instance, about United Nations Resolution 242, but we don't show students the Green Line. We cannot deny that there used to be a border that is still being debated today, she said.Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said he spoke with Tamir about the order, but he stopped short of criticizing her decision. There is nothing wrong with marking the Green Line. But there is an obligation to emphasize that the government's position and public consensus rule out returning to 1967 lines, he said.

Two former Director-Generals of the Education Ministry, from two different political parties, each had harsh criticism for Tami, however -- Zevulun Orlev and Ronit Tirosh.Orlev, who is chairman of the National Union – National Religious Party, said the Education Minister was imposing her Peace Now ideology on the Ministry. Orlev, a former Director-General of the Education Ministry, called upon Prime Minister Olmert to put the brakes on the Peace Now policy in the Education Ministry blatantly dictated by Minister Tamir.Kadima Knesset member Tirosh criticized Tamir’s declaration as well. She has overstepped her authority, she said. The Education Minister is not permitted to interfere with the content of textbooks and should have consulted with the other members of the Knesset before making such changes, she said. The Likud faction charged Tamir with changing the national curriculum to fit her own political agenda, adding that she had ignored both the Jerusalem Law and the Golan Heights Law in order to make the changes. The faction also introduced a no-confidence motion over the proposal.Two former Education Ministers also weighed in with comments about the new plan.

Former Meretz Party head Yossi Sarid said, Israeli students must know that Israel's borders both in the north and the east are not final, and will be determined by negotiations. National Union Knesset member Rabbi Yitzchak Levy, who served as Education Minister from 1998 to1999 added his voice to the chorus of dissent, saying he did not approve of Tamir's stance on placing all of Judea and Samaria up for grabs in keeping with Arab and Palestinian Authority demands to turn the entire area into an independent Arab state.

Tamir is trying to force her political opinions upon the students of Israel, Levy said. Previous Education Ministers kept the Ministry free of political decisions of this nature.The most important political test, however, will ultimately appear in the budget, according to Professor Yoram Ben-Gal of Haifa University’s Geography and Environmental Studies Department. Ben-Gal told Haaretz on Tuesday that most textbooks are published by private firms -- who are not likely to want to donate the expensive change to the government.

Call for lifting borders separating Islamic states
Sunday, December 03, 2006 - IranMania.com


LONDON, December 3 (IranMania) Head of Iran's Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Mines, Alinaqi Khamoushi said that just as borders are lifted in Europe, the same move should be considered by Islamic states, IRNA reported.

He made the remark at the fourth conference and exhibition on the strategy of Iraqi market and its executive strategies in Kermanshah. Khamoushi noted that the people of Islamic states are a single Ummah and therefore no borders should separate them. Given the current shortages in Iraq, we should provide the Iraqi people with the facilities available in Iran. We are duty-bound to do our best to help our neighbor under the most critical conditions. We should act in such a way as to build up mutual confidence. We believe that to have healthy trade relations, neither side should export goods to the other country without issuing the required documents, he said. The official said that Iranians can participate in establishment of new factories in Iraq or help reconstruct the damaged industrial units.

There is no need for Iraqi partners to invest in such joint projects. Iran's government will make investment and once the projects become operational, in the long-run the due amount will be repaid through turnover. If this is materialized, a major part of Iraq's problems will be solved, he added. He noted that according to the plans made at Iran-Iraq Chamber of Commerce in Tehran, every Iranian border province will be active on Iraqi market. The fourth conference and exhibition on the strategy of Iraqi market and its executive strategies opened in the border city of Kermanshah today and will continue up to December 6.

Israel Unable to Rely on U.S. to Thwart Iranian Nukes
By Ezra HaLevi (INN) DEC 06,06


Incoming American Defense Secretary Robert Gates says the Iranian threat is clear and present but that the U.S. is not guaranteeing protection to Israel. Gates will replace Donald Rumsfeld. Asked at his U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee nomination hearing whether he believed that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons capability, he answered: Yes, sir, I do. He also answered in the affirmative that he believes Iran’s leadership to be lying.Gates said that there were more powerful forces in Iran than just its president and they are determined to achieve nuclear weapons, as a deterrent against nuclear countries surrounding them – Pakistan in the east, Russia in the north, Israel in the west and the United States in the Persian Gulf.He said he is not certain that Iran would attack the Jewish state, since the risks for them (Iran) are enormously high. He added, though, I don't think anybody can provide that assurance [to Israel that an attack won’t occur. Gates summed up his position saying he would not advise a U.S. attack on Iran except as an absolute last resort if critical U.S. interests are threatened.

Ahmadinejad Warns Europe

Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened European nations Tuesday that Iran would consider any decision to join sanctions against Iran due to its nuclear project an act of hostility. The statement came as representatives from the United Nations Security Council’s permanent member nations met in Paris to discuss steps to be taken against Iran.

I'm telling you in plain language that from now on, if you try, whether in your propaganda or at international organizations, to take steps against the rights of the Iranian nation, the Iranian nation will consider it an act of hostility, Ahmadinejad said, addressing European nations during a speech in northern Iran. Our path to reach the nuclear summit is in the final phase, and no more than one more step is needed, he added. Iran possesses the nuclear fuel cycle completely and by God's will it will undertake necessary measures to produce nuclear fuel for all of its nuclear power stations.Iran's top nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani told the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency Tuesday that Iran is intent on materializing all its nuclear Research and Development projects by the end of the Islamic year, which falls out on March 19.

Iran’s Other Project

Iran's Foreign Ministry is making preparations for a two-day conference that will take place next week and examine the evidence of there having been a Holocaust. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mohammadi said the December 10-11 conference will be attended by 67 foreign researchers from 30 countries.

The conference was the initiative of Ahmadinejad, who has called the genocide perpetrated by the Nazi regime during World War II exaggerated and a myth.Mohammadi said that the conference would be a truly scientific event to determine whether the Holocaust took place. If Iran is indeed convinced that the Holocaust took place,
the next question will be how many Jews were murdered and why the Palestinians need to suffer because of an event that took place in Europe 60 years ago, he added.

Israel and Iran Meeting – About Old Debts

Israeli and Iranian representatives have been meeting in secret in Switzerland, according to Army Radio.The meetings are with regard to an Israeli debt to Iran for oil purchased during the years prior to the 1979 Islamic revolution there. A smaller amount was owed to Israeli construction companies for projects undertaken in Iran. The two countries were diplomatically friendly from the 50s to the 70s, under the pro-West Shah of Iran.

Thursday December 07, 2006 EU says Iran free to sell oil in any currency
Brussels, Dec 6, IRNA ,EU-Iran-oil


A spokesperson for the European Commission declined Wednesday to comment on media reports that Iran has started replacing dollar with euro in majority of its crude oil exchanges in the last several months. I have no comment. This would be a free decision for a government or company to use a particular currency than its own for invoicing the products that it sells, said EU spokesperson for economic affairs Amelia Torres. She was replying to a question on the issue by a reporter during the daily Commission news conference in Brussels. It is not something we encourage or discourage. We leave it to the markets and the forces in the market, added Torres.

AP Europe Widens Trade Talks

European Union Proposes Bilateral Free Trade Talks; Seeks Improved Anti-Dumping Measures


BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) European Union trade chief Peter Mandelson said Wednesday he wants to negotiate bilateral trade deals with emerging nations like India to offset the slow pace of world trade talks.

At the same time, he opened consultations to make EU trade defenses against unfairly priced imports from booming Asian economies and other trade-distorting practices much more effective.Both initiatives were meant to keep EU policy nimble while global trade negotiations remain in a quagmire with no breakthrough insight.Attempts to revive global trade talks are still stuck at the level of private discussions among a few governments. Mandelson did not expect progress until next year at the earliest, despite the EU's willingness the reinvigorate the talks.It takes two to tango, and ideally one or two more, he said.The Doha round of trade liberalization talks came to a halt in July over differences between members, especially the United States and the 25-nation EU, about how and by how much to cut farm subsidies and tariffs, as well as reducing barriers to the import of manufactured goods.

Now, Mandelson is seeking progress with individual nations.Mandelson proposed opening free trade talks with Central American and Andean trading blocs and negotiations for trade agreements with India, South Korea and the ASEAN nations.With the Asian nations, he clearly wants to cover ground still out of reach of world trade talks.The EU trade office said it wants agreements that go further and faster in promoting openness and integration and tackle issues which are not yet ready for multilateral discussion.With India, South Korea and the ASEAN bloc, Mandelson is targeting emerging nations with surging economies and high levels of protections against EU goods.His trade negotiation proposals still need to be approved by the 25 member states but Mandelson was optimistic talks could start early next year.To make progress with the talks with the Andean nations of South America, Mandelson warned that Ecuador had to end its challenge on banana exports to Europe.

Ecuador, the world's largest banana producer, filed a protest against the European Union's banana import rules system three weeks ago, arguing that it unfairly restricts its access to the European market.It is not possible to litigate and negotiate at the same time, he said.Mandelson also said it was necessary for the EU to review its antidumping practices since international trade had changed dramatically since the last review a decade ago.Even if trade defense measures like antidumping duties affect less than 0.5 percent of EU trade, it is instrumental in containing unfair trade.Effective action against dumping has helped safeguard tens of thousands of European workers and helps maintain the public's belief in free trade, he said.

EU makes new push for trade deals with Asia, Latin America by Leigh Thomas Wed Dec 6, 12:40 PM ET

BRUSSELS (AFP) The European Commission made a big push to launch free-trade agreements with Latin American and Asian nations in the absence of progress in WTO multilateral talks.Amid accusations of hypocrisy, Brussels also opened a broad review of the effectiveness of its measures to protect Europe against unfair trading, some of which have recently targeted the very countries with which the EU now wants free-trade agreements.

The European Commission sought backing from EU member states to start negotiations next year with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as well as with India and South Korea on free-trade agreements.The three key partners identified for new agreements combine large markets, rapid growth and high levels of protection against EU export interests, the commission said in a statement.It said the agreements should be far reaching but in particular target services and investment, two areas that have fallen by the wayside in WTO free-trade negotiations.

Brussels also sought mandates from member states to start negotiations on closer ties with Central American and Andean nations, which would be aimed in part at eventually setting up a free-trade area between the EU and the two regions.

With the 2001 launch of WTO trade liberalization negotiations in the Qatari capital Doha, the EU chose to focus on a multilateral approach to trade at the expense of efforts to strike bilateral deals.But since the Doha talks, held under the auspices of the World Trade Organization, ground to a halt in July in disputes over farm trade, Brussels has tried to give a new push to bilateral deals, a strategy already being pursued by the United States and Japan.Officially, concluding the Doha round remains the EU's main priority, but some of its main trade interests have been dropped from the negotiations, particularly the so-called Singapore issues of investment, competition policy, and public procurement.The EU is attempting a bilateral approach after its multilateral trade strategy failed in nearly all areas key to EU interests, NGO Friends of the Earth said in a statement.

The EU failed to introduce a multilateral investment agreement at the WTO, it failed to start negotiations on public procurement, it failed to substantially open up foreign services markets for EU companies and, recently, it even failed to reach an agreement in the Doha Development Agenda, it added.

While seeking to boost bilateral deals, the commission is also eager to make its so-called trade defence mechanism more effective, which EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson described as a balanced response to globalization.Effective action against dumping has helped safeguard tens of thousands of European workers and helps maintain the public's belief in free trade, the British commissioner told journalists.Trade defence is the flip-side of the coin of openness -- open to free trade, open to defending against unfair trade, he added.In its campaign against perceived unfair trade, the commission recently took WTO action against India for its duties on European wines and spirits and last year slapped anti-dumping duties on shoes made in ASEAN member Vietnam.However, pro-development pressure group Oxfam heaped criticism on the commission for seeking market access while trying improve policies designed to protect European businesses from foreign competition.It is astoundingly hypocritical for the EU to call on trade partners to pursue a strategy for market opening while at the same time announcing a range of measures to enhance Europe's ability to protect its own already heavily protected agricultural, manufacturing, and services markets, said the head Oxfam's EU office, Luis Morago.

Intercede and Partners Secure Key NATO Summit with Smart Card-based Identities DEC 06,06

Lutterworth, Leicestershire (PRWeb) December 6, 2006 Intercede are pleased to announce that Intercede's MyID system was used to manage the identities of 8,000 diplomats, conference delegation members, Latvian and NATO supporting units, security personnel and volunteers at the NATO Summit in Riga, 27-29 November, 2006. This solution was primed by Oberthur Card Systems and delivered to the Ministry of Defence of Latvia in partnership with Intercede and Fargo. Intercede provided a complete system to personalise, issue and verify Oberthur smart card-based identity cards at this major international event.

Each Oberthur smart card was colour-coded according to role and security clearance, printed with a photograph of the card holder, secured with holograms and other security printing features to prevent forgery, and the electronic chip was personalized to enable secure cardholder verification.A compelling aspect of the solution was the ability to both request batches of smart cards from Oberthur's centralized card production service and to also securely produce locally personalized cards on Fargo desktop printers. This enabled the bulk production of cards ordered in advance and an on-demand issuance capability for late registrations from the same system.

Key features of the system include:

* The MyID registration workstations were smart card protected to prevent the issuance of cards by unauthorized people
* Bulk data import of card requests into the MyID from other systems
* Immediate face-to-face issuance of emergency replacement cards
* Instant identity card verification at up to 20 NATO Summit buildings and checkpoints using MyID card validation stations. Each verification station was securely connected to the MyID verification server using secure channels over the public internet.

In a press conference held on 29 November 2006, NATO Secretary General, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, praised the Latvian Government for their flawless organization of the Riga Summit. Intercede is proud to be associated with this success.With 26 Heads of State in

attendance, conference security was of paramount concern. I am therefore delighted that the Latvian Government chose Intercede and our partners to provide a critical piece of the security infrastructure for this event, said Richard Parris, Chairman and Chief Executive, Intercede. Following our recently announced successes in the US Federal market, this demanding project further demonstrates that Intercede's MyID smart card and identity management system has the flexibility and scalability to meet the most critical government security requirements.

Radioactive spy Islamic convert?
Fears raised Litvinenko helped al-Qaida with dirty bomb plot
Posted: December 3, 2006,7:47 p.m. Eastern,WorldNetDaily.com


Alexander Litvinenko before he was poisoned

LONDON Reports that KGB defector Alexander Litvinenko converted to Islam before his mysterious poisoning with radioactive polonium 210 is raising suspicions that he may have been involved in a plot to smuggle the deadly substance to terrorist groups
willing to pay millions even for a gram, Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin is reporting today. Scotland Yard detectives are now trying to discover if Litvinenko had any secret links with Islamic extremist terror groups, the London Sunday Express is reporting. Their biggest fear, the paper reports, is that Litvinenko, who died of polonium-210 poisoning in a London hospital, may have been helping al-Qaida or other extremist groups get hold of radioactive material to be used in a devastating dirty atom bomb. Britain's secret intelligence service MI6 had earlier learned that al-Qaida was prepared to pay $3 million a gram for polonium 210, G2 Bulletin reported last week. Litvinenko's friend Mario Scaramella now says the late spy helped smuggleradioactive material from Russia to Switzerland in 2000. Litvinenko was also known to have sympathies with Chechen rebels, seeking to break away from Moscow and create an independent Muslim state. Litvinenko's conversion to Islam was announced by his next-door neighbor, moderate Muslim and Chechen dissident Akhmed Zakayev, who revealed: He was read to from the Koran the day before he died and told his wife that he wanted to be buried in accordance with Muslim tradition.

Litvinenko's body is still so radiologically hot that an autopsy cannot yet be conducted. It is stored in a lead-lined vault in a London morgue.Polonium 210 has been identified in five separate locations around London. One is the luxury Millennium Hotel, near the U.S. Embassy. Another is a building in Mayfair that houses the office of Boris Berezovsky, a close friend of Litvinenko, and now an
avowed enemy of Russian President Vladimir Putin. While the government has insisted there is no cause for panic, MI6 and Britain's internal security service, MI5, have jointly launched a top-priority hunt on how further quantities of Polonium 210 could be smuggled by al-Qaida. The hunt began a week ago in Peshawar. The ancient Pakistan city hosts a joint MI6/CIA surveillance operation supported by America's National Security Agency satellite surveillance. Using the latest cyber-technology, the intelligence officers in Peshawar picked up a short-burst transmission from somewhere in Peshawar's Old Town. It was in response to a call that appeared to have come from beyond the towering Khyber Pass, possibly from Afghanistan.

The call was automatically recorded on one of the computers in the offices the MI6/CIA team share. Just as automatically, it was dispatched down the line through cyberspace to GCHQ, the British Government Headquarters in the Cotswold town of Cheltenham.

Simultaneously it reached America's NSA at Fort Meade, Md.The words from Peshawar were part of the trillions of words in 500 languages that the GCHQ/NSA super computers are programmed to listen to, shift, reject or retain so they can be analyzed by the thousands of experts both GCHQ and NSA employ.By late last week, MI6 knew of al-Qaida's offer to purchase Polonium 210.

For more details on how polonium 210 could be smuggled into Great Britain and America, see the complete report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.
