Watching our wandering killers

"We still have Australians that we are aware of who have travelled overseas and have trained,” he said. "One of the questions I pose is how do you defuse or de-train somebody? Somebody who has learned the skills to build and create explosives. "How do you satisfy yourself that they no longer possess that skill? How do you satisfy yourself that they no longer possess the motivation to bring harm to other people, including themselves?
"That question is one of the most difficult for us to answer and that is, how do you get into the mind of somebody else and try and turn them around?”
British Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Stephenson told the security forum that home-grown suicide bombers were the "worst case scenario”. London newspapers revealed more than 2000 home-grown Al Qaeda terrorists are plotting suicide attacks in Britain – the highest level since the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US. Mr Stephenson said they were tracking some 1600 suspects and 200 networks, people and plots. "I note the Attorney General’s (Philip Ruddock) comments regarding his concern that we’re discussing this sort of figure publicly. "But I think there are two reasons it is right for those sorts of figures, within the United Kingdom context, to be in the public domain.
Mourinho satisfied with youth scheme

great,” Mourinho said. “It’s not easy to bring young players up to Chelsea’s level. “Chelsea’s target is for one home-grown player to reach the first team by 2010 and one a year thereafter. Mourinho has used three young players, Nigeria’s John Obi Mikel, 19, Ivory Coast striker Salomon Kalou, 21 and French under-21 midfielder Lassana Diarra extensively this season but they were all relatively expensive foreign signings. Israeli 17-year-old Ben Sahar, who played his first full international earlier this month and 16-year-old Michael Woods, bought from Leeds, have played cameo roles, coming on when games were in the bag. “For next season I think Ben is ready to come up and be in the first team,” Mourinho said. “What we did for Ben we should do with a central defender,” he added, lamenting injuries to captain John Terry and Dutch international Khalid Boulahrouz which meant Chelsea would have to play midfielder Michael Essien in defence on Sunday.
Our World: Jihad’s campus collaborators
Jerusalem Post – Feb 26, 2007
A poll published last month by Britain’s Policy Exchange think tank bore out the poisonous impact this indoctrination has had on young Muslims in the country. Thirty-seven percent of British Muslims between the ages of 16-24 would rather live under Shari’a law than under British Common Law; 36 percent think Muslims should be killed if they convert to another religion; 13 percent admire al-Qaida and similar terror groups; and a whopping 74 percent of young British Muslims believe women should wear veils. WHILE IT is true that in the US the danger of home-grown jihadists to national security is lower than it is in Britain, it is also true that there is a growing phenomenon of jihadist violence being perpetrated by Muslim men against American civilians in the name of jihad. Ten days ago, the Investors Business Daily published an editorial enumerating a partial list of acts of terrorism carried out by Muslim men against their fellow Americans since the September 11 attacks. Most recently, Sulejman Talovic entered a shopping mall in Salt Lake City, murdered five and wounded four unsuspecting shoppers before being killed by an off-duty police officer. As was the case when Derrick Shareef, another Muslim male, was arrested in early December for plotting to carry out a similar attack at a shopping mall in Illinois just before Christmas, the media and the law enforcement agencies covering the Salt Lake City massacre have made light of the fact that the perpetrator was a Muslim. While Talovic is dead and so cannot explain his motives to authorities, Shareef was arrested after telling an FBI informant of his plans to murder Jews specifically and Americans in particular for Allah.

India has about 125 companies doing design, including multinationals, domestic companies such as Wipro and Sasken, and a handful of Silicon Valley startups with Indian research and development centers. In 2005, giant multinationals like Texas Instruments, Intel, Cypress, Infineon, and STMicroelectronics comprised about 70 percent of the total semiconductor design industry in India. Approximately 30 percent was produced by home-grown companies, noted the research firm iSuppli. All of them stand to benefit if nearby manufacturing becomes possible. India“So far we were after the low-hanging fruit of design,” said Mr. “Now we’re gearing up to compete with the best in the world.
