Yemen Negotiating Awlaki Surrender

Published on January 16, 2010
by EU News Network
(EUNewsNet.com and OfficialWire)

SANAA, YEMEN
Yemeni officials said they were trying to convince American-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki to surrender as Yemeni forces pound northern al-Qaida outposts.

Yemeni national security director Ali Mohamed al-Anisi told The Wall Street Journal that the Yemeni government was discussing the terms for the surrender of the radical cleric.

He warned, however, that national forces were ready to "hunt him down" should negotiations fail.

Ali Hasan al-Ahmadi, the governor of Shabwa province, told London's pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat this week that Awlaki and Fahd al-Qasa, a top terrorist leader, were hiding out in the mountainous regions of his province.

Virginia-native Awlaki is known in the intelligence community for his extremist messages broadcast on the Internet. U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, the accused shooter in the November attacks in Fort Hood, Texas, and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the would-be Christmas Day bomber, were known to have contacted the cleric prior to their operations.

Meanwhile, Yemen's officials Saba news agency reports Yemeni airstrikes Friday killed six al-Qaida leaders in the north of the country as they were boarding their vehicles.

Yemen insists it is capable of handling the threat from al-Qaida, killing several members in recent weeks. Yemeni clerics in a Thursday fatwa, meanwhile, called for a jihad should U.S. forces enter the fight.

Major Hasan’s Smooth Ascension

Editorial
Published: January 15, 2010

Pentagon officials are taking a sobering look at the career of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who has been charged with murder in a shooting spree in November that left 13 people dead in Fort Hood, Tex. Investigators have found that Major Hasan moved smoothly up the ladder despite early signs of an erratic temperament and instances of questionable behavior, all obvious to his superiors.

Citing failures in supervision and the sharing of information, Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Friday called for widespread reforms to deal with “the evolving domestic internal security threat” now confronting the military. It will be no easy task to weed out extremists in the ranks. But Mr. Gates is right to update protective measures that have been geared toward traditional cold war concerns like internal espionage rather than extremists with a tendency for violence.

Mr. Gates cited missed opportunities to cut short Major Hasan’s rise. More broadly, he promised better communications between the Pentagon and federal intelligence agencies to explore potential links between extremist groups and members of the military seeking “self-radicalization.”

(Major Hasan’s reported communications with the radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki are part of a separate criminal investigation by the Army.)

The Pentagon investigation found that Major Hasan’s odd behavior, subpar performance, poor medical school grades and fascination with jihadist rhetoric were flagged at various stages. But they were not enough to cause a negative recommendation for promotion. Instead, Mr. Hasan’s value as a psychiatrist, much-needed in the infantry, and as a knowledgeable Muslim officer overcame any concerns. His evaluations contained words like “satisfactory” and “outstanding.” Mr. Gates said that several officers may face reprimands.

The Hasan report raises other intriguing questions, including why he kept his security clearance after openly criticizing the military’s role in Iraq and Afghanistan as anti-Muslim. Of no less concern is whether a stronger Army policy is needed to deal with the major’s easy access to handguns because he resided off post.

But the underlying problem in this tragedy, as Mr. Gates described it, is that the system cloaked Major Hasan’s clear deficiencies in favor of the military’s tradition of “kicking the problem” forward to his next posting.

Radical Yemen preacher under Qaeda protection

(AFP)
17 January 2010

SANAA - Radical imam Anwar al-Awlaqi, who may have links to the failed Christmas Day attack on a US airliner, is living in Yemen’s Shabwa province under the protection of Al-Qaeda, his father said in comments published on Saturday.

“My son is alive” in the southern Shabwa province, one of the main strongholds of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, said Nasser al-Awlaqi in an interview with the weekly Yemen Post.

“He now probably has some Al-Qaeda members protecting him because they are from the same tribe, and not because he is an Al-Qaeda member,” he said.

Anwar al-Awlaqi, a US-Yemeni preacher in his late 30s, has been linked by Washington to the alleged attempt by Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up a US airliner on December 25, as well as the November 5 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas that killed 13 people and wounded 42.

“Anwar is a moderate Muslim. He believes in the principles of Islam. He is not an extremist,” his father said.

“Why does the government of America want to kill my son?” he asked. “If he did anything wrong they should put him on trial, even in absentia.”

In an interview with The Washington Post in November, the younger Awlaqi said he had blessed the Fort Hood shooting, and that it was permissible under Islam because it was against a military target.

On January 7, Yemen’s Deputy Prime Minister for Defence and Security Affairs, Rashad al-Aleemi, said that Abdulmutallab “hid in the Shabwa area, in Wadi Rafadh, where he met Awlaqi.”

But Awlaqi’s father, however, said Aleemi’s claim was “nonsense.”

Breeding grounds of terrorism
    
DOGU ERGIL    d.ergil@todayszaman.com

Today the largest medium where the terrorist mentality is forged, terrorists’ intentions communicated and devoted militants are recruited is the Internet. In this global network terrorist organizations and sympathizers meet, train and plot with relative freedom. Yet these diverse groups belonging to different nationalities from all over the world do not have a common political entity that they would call their own. They express the need of a state because according to their home-made reading of Islam, war and peace can be declared by a state, whose laws they would all abide by.

Hence these radicals, mostly religious zealots, have created a virtual electronic caliphate. They rely on each other’s determination to wage a holy war in the house of evil that is occupied by Christians, Jews and Muslims alike who are not as radical as they. This fictive state/caliphate has many Web sites, chat rooms, blogs and message boards. Youths especially, who are dissatisfied with what they are and the immediate social environment in which they are living, find each other in this electronic jungle and share their grudges, dissatisfactions and expectations. Their passion to destroy a world that does not offer them meaning and hope is sharpened with each other’s hatred, generated by a different indoctrination that separates the world into the house of evil or war and the house of goodness or peace (the caliphate).

Most of Europe’s intelligence services in countries where Muslims have taken up residence ran studies on such communities and have found that radical Islam has inspired a multitude of movements, organizations and groups that sympathize with militant Islam. These Islamist groups are very active on the Internet.

For example, British authorities have verified that as many as 3,000 individuals have been trained in al-Qaeda camps over the years, some in Afghanistan prior to the attack on the Twin Towers in New York on Sept. 11, 2001, some in Pakistan’s tribal areas after Sept. 11. What is surprising is that they were born and raised in the United Kingdom.

Systematic polls taken in Britain have shown that about 100,000 British Muslims, mostly from Pakistani families, were in favor of the July 7, 2005 subway and bus attacks in London. Some 200 embryonic plots trailed by Britain’s internal intelligence service, MI5, were tracked back to Pakistani Britons, mostly well-educated youths from middle-class families. The information gathered by the British authorities worried them a great deal.

In the early 2000s, after the attack on the Twin Towers, the DST and the RG, France’s internal intelligence services, estimated that 40 percent of the imams in 1,000 main mosques in France had no proper or professional religious training. They have simply put together sermon material from pro-al-Qaeda Web sites and preach it to the local Muslim migrants.

These sermons influence young and old alike. Last year an American Muslim military psychiatrist, namely Maj. Nidal Hassan, age 39, went into a frenzy on Nov. 5, 2009 and killed 13 people, 11 of whom were soldiers, and wounded 30, at Fort Hood, Texas. It is reported that he fell under the spell of this electronic jungle of hate. His guide to this massacre was a US-born Yemeni cleric who had left the United States and moved to Yemen. As tensions rise in Yemen and al-Qaeda moves in due to NATO pressure to oust it from Afghanistan, a crescent of radicalism is in the making across the Gulf of Aden and Somalia.

Together with Afghanistan, this area seems to be the new target for fighting against extremism together with some of Pakistan’s tribal areas and Karachi, a port city of 18 million. The Taliban is fighting and organizing to take over the government in Afghanistan, while the NATO and US forces fall victim to the Vietnam syndrome. So it seems that it will be a drawn-out struggle with dubious results.

In Muslim countries such as Morocco and Saudi Arabia, it is claimed that roughly 1 percent of their populations are religious extremists and 10 percent fundamentalist, essentially in sympathy with the extremists’ agenda. When converted to numbers on a global scale, of the 1.3 billion Muslims on earth, there are roughly 13 million extremists and 130 million sympathizers. We have a lot to do in fighting against radicalism rather than radicals and extremists.

AP ENTERPRISE: 2009 _ year of terror charges in US

By DEVLIN BARRETT
The Associated Press
Sunday, January 17, 2010; 11:33 AM

WASHINGTON -- Federal prosecutors charged more suspects with terrorism in 2009 than in any year since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, providing evidence of what experts call a rise in plots spurred by Internet recruitment, the spread of al-Qaida overseas and ever-shifting tactics of terror chiefs.

A review of major national security cases by The Associated Press found 54 defendants had federal terrorism-related charges filed or unsealed against them in the past 12 months.

The Justice Department would not confirm the figure or provide its own. But an agency spokesman said 2009 had more defendants charged with terrorism than any year since the 2001 attacks. The year that came closest was 2002, said the spokesman, Dean Boyd.

Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University, called it "an extraordinary year, across the board," adding that the wide range of cases show al-Qaida "is in it for the long haul and we need to be as well."

The rate of terrorism charges accelerated in September, when authorities disrupted what they said was a burgeoning plot to detonate bombs aboard New York commuter trains. The quick pace of cases continued until the end of the year, with an attempted Christmas bombing aboard a Detroit-bound airliner.

One day alone was particularly heavy: On Sept. 24, federal prosecutors announced charges in five separate terrorism cases in Illinois, New York, North Carolina and Texas.

David Kris, the top terrorism official in the Obama administration's Justice Department, marveled at the volume of terrorism cases when he spoke at a conference of lawyers in November.
ad_icon

"The last several weeks or months have been kind of a crucible experience for us," Kris said.

What truly constitutes a terrorism case can be a matter of legal and political debate.

In counting major terrorism cases, the AP used a rigorous standard that produced a conservative count. The various charges that made the list include conspiring to provide material support to terrorists, conspiring to murder people abroad and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction. The list also includes some cases that did not involve Islamic terrorists, such as the kidnapping of a U.S. citizen in Panama.

But the 54 defendants do not include, for example, those charged only with lying to agents in a terrorism investigation, or the Army psychiatrist in the Fort Hood military base shooting who faces nonterrorism murder charges brought by military prosecutors instead of civilian charges. Nor do the 54 include the five Washington, D.C.-area youths charged in Pakistan. If all those cases were also added - and some commentators do count them - the total number of defendants would be 63.

David Burnham of Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a private group at Syracuse University that analyzes government prosecution data, urged caution in counting terrorism charges.

"You have to be careful because everyone's got a different way of doing it," Burnham said.

Public charges don't reflect other law enforcement activity, such as investigations that don't lead to terrorism charges or sealed indictments that have yet to be revealed.

For example, in 2002 in the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, there were a tremendous number of active investigations, and in some cases suspected terrorists were not actually charged with terrorism, but faced lesser accusations such as credit card fraud or immigration violations.

As hectic as 2009 was, counterterrorism officials will only be busier this year as the administration prepares to bring some Guantanamo Bay detainees to trial in the U.S., predicted Patrick Rowan, who was President George W. Bush's top Justice Department counterterrorism official and now works at the private law firm McGuire Woods.

"It is going to be an extremely busy and challenging year because of these Gitmo cases coming in that are going to place tremendous stress on the prosecutors, the judicial system, and the FBI," said Rowan.

As for what's behind the current increase, Rowan said it's too soon to tell whether it's a temporary rise or will continue.

Anti-terrorism agents and prosecutors are more experienced and better at building criminal cases, Rowan said, but the terrorists have also adapted, using the Internet to recruit or in some cases just motivate so-called lone-wolf attackers who take action on their own.

Anwar al-Awlaki: Al-Qaeda's New Pied Piper

17/01/2010
By Arafat Madayash

Sanaa, Asharq Al-Awsat- Was it mere coincidence that brought together the troubled young Nigerian Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab and the Yemeni hard-line cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, or was it a bigger plot that gathered these two individuals whose only similarities seems to be their privileged upbringing and their embrace of extremism and fundamentalism?

US anger over the Fort Hood shootings-which involved a US officer of Palestinian origin, Maj Nidal Malik Hasan killing 13 of his colleagues-was yet to subside before the name of hard-line Yemeni fundamentalist Anwar al-Awlaki appeared again in connection with the attempt by Nigerian Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab to blow up a US airliner during its flight from Amsterdam Airport to Detroit Airport on Christmas 2009. It later emerged that Al-Awlaki was not only connected to Maj. Nidal Hasan and Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab, but the Yemeni branch of Al-Qaeda as well.

Anwar Nasser al-Awlaki was born in 1971 in New Mexico in the United States to Yemeni parents. At that time, Anwar's father was studying agriculture at a US university. After completing his studies, he returned to Yemen and assumed a number of administrative and academic posts, until he became the president of Sanaa University, which was then the only university in (North) Yemen. He then became minister of agriculture. When Al-Awlaki's father returned to Yemen, Anwar was 7 years old, and at that time could hardly speak Arabic.

In Sanaa, Anwar al-Awlaki attended the prestigious Azal private school, where his peers included the sons of presidents, ministers, senior officials, and businessmen. After that Anwar returned to the United States to study. He graduated in 1994 from Colorado State University, and then he obtained a Master's degree from St Diego State University in California. However, after the 11 September 2001 events he was not able to continue his postgraduate studies in the United States because of the negative atmosphere that prevailed over the United States toward Muslims; therefore, he left for Britain, and then for Yemen, before returning to the United States.

Said Ubayd al-Jamhi, Yemeni writer specializing in Al-Qaeda affairs, says that al-Awlaki tried to continue his studies to obtain a PhD in Britain, but his difficult financial situation prevented this, and therefore he returned to Yemen in 2003. Al-Jamhi told Asharq Al-Awsat that Al-Awlaki turned into an Islamic preacher in the mosques before he was arrested and put in a Yemeni prison for months on a terrorism-related charge. On the basis of the same charge, Al-Awlaki was put in a Japanese prison between 2006 and 2007.

Al-Jamhi attributes to Dr Nasser al-Awlaki, father of Sheikh Anwar, who refused to speak to Asharq Al-Awsat, that his son is innocent of the charge of terrorism, and that he is not like Osama Bin Laden, as he is merely an Islamic caller. Dr Nasser al-Awlaki also says that his son became more fundamentalist after his imprisonment in Japan, and he calls for giving him a chance to restore his son to normal life, and to bring him down from Al-Kur Mountains in Shabwa Governorate in which he lives with a number of his supporters.

Here in Yemen, there are popular claims about a link between Anwar al-Awlaki and Sheikh Abdul-Majid al-Zindani, a well-known Yemeni Islamic caller and the president of Al-Iman University, whom the US Administration accuses of financing terrorism, and who is on the UN list concerned with this issue. Some say that Al-Zindani is the one who polarized Anwar into the world of hard-line fundamentalism.

Recently, Al-Zindani denied the existence of any link between Al-Iman University and Al-Awlaki, whether as a student or as a teacher. However, Al-Jamhi stresses to Asharq Al-Awsat, "It has been proved that Anwar al-Awlaki delivered lectures at Al-Iman University about Islamic history, the history of Andalusia, and other subjects."

Al-Jamhi talks about the religious address of Anwar al-Awlaki; he says that his address is a Salafi one that "leans toward jihad," but Al-Jamhi does not confirm Al-Awlaki's links to Al-Qaeda, because "a direct link to Al-Qaeda Organization is done through what is known as a pledge of allegiance, which is in its Salafi sense a pledge of obedience and subjugation to an Amir who gives the orders and bans," Al-Jamhi continues, "and not, as it seems, the Al-Qaeda Organization."

In the United States accusations are mounting against Anwar al-Awlaki, suggesting that he recruited Nidal Malik Hasan, and encouraged him to kill his colleagues. In Yemen, the authorities say that Nigerian Omar Farouk Abdulmutallab met Al-Awlaki in Shabwa before he left Yemen to carry out his failed suicide operation attempt. If Al-Awlaki's links to Nidal, Abdulmutallab, and perhaps others, is proven, then it seems that his use of the English language enabled him to communicate with them, especially via the Internet. However, does Al-Awlaki have this polarization ability?

The answer is yes. This is according to the researcher Al-Jamhi, who published a book about the Al-Qaeda Organization in Yemen. Al-Jamhi says that Anwar al-Awlaki has the "charisma" and has the ability "to attract; his religious address is mixed with politics and relies on tickling the sentiments." Al-Jamhi uses as proof of Al-Awlaki's possession of these qualities in his ability to attract Nidal Malik Hasan, despite the latter's military mentality, and his cultural background as a psychiatrist, and hence Al-Awlaki "was able to program the man's mind, which is a major success, and which means that he is not an ordinary man."

However, there are missing links, and even mysterious parts in the life of al-Awlaki, the intelligent young man who moved up to the second-year class in his primary school only months after joining the first-year class, because of his distinction. This distinction made him one of the best students in the Yemeni Republic in the General Certificate of Secondary Education in the academic year 1988-1989. This brings up questions about the reasons that made Anwar abandon his distinguished professional life, and turn to Islamic studies. How was he able to turn into an Islamic caller of this type, and write books, publications, and Islamic call recordings? How did he turn into a hardliner, despite the fact that he studied in the center of Zubayd city in Tuhamah, a city known for knowledge and moderation, and that has never before produced any fundamentalists? How did he become an Islamic caller despite his young age and within a few years only?

There are those who are trying to give answers to some of these questions and to other questions that - undoubtedly - are going through the minds of many people. One of these people is a Yemeni writer who attributes Anwar al-Awlaki's focusing on the Islamic call to "what he witnessed of non-Islamic behavior by the Muslim youths in the western countries. Also there is another important reason, namely the killing and destruction inflicted upon Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Somalia, and others." This is according to the writer, who spoke to Asharq Al Awsat on the condition of anonymity, stating only that he is close to Anwar al-Awlaki, who toured US mosques after he studied Islamic Dogma under many Ulema in the United States, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.

The Washington Post recently published an interview with Al-Awlaki conducted by a Yemeni journalist close to him named Abdul-Ilah Haydar al-Shaai. This was the first interview with Al-Awlaki after the Fort hood massacre. At that time he said that he neither ordered nor exerted pressure on Nidal to harm US citizens, but he considered himself to be trusted by the psychiatrist. In the interview Al-Awlaki also revealed that he knew about Nidal's unease about continuing his service in the army, and he knew that through the e-mails sent by Nidal to him. Al-Awlaki admitted that he played a role in Nidal becoming religious eight years earlier when he attended one of Al-Awlaki's lectures in the Dar-al-Hijrah Mosque in North Virginia.

The Washington Post contacted Abdul-Ilah to conduct the interview, and paid his traveling costs. On Sunday,

Abdul-Ilah allowed the Washington Post journalist to see the videotape of the Al-Awlaki interview, who was sitting at his laptop computer, reading his e-mails, listening to audio recordings, and speaking with an American accent about his correspondence with Nidal.

In its story about Al-Awlaki, the newspaper wrote that he previously worked in two mosques that were frequented by three of the culprits of the 11 September 2001 attacks, namely the Dar-al-Hijrah Mosque in Virginia and another mosque in California.

Despite the fact that many of the questions about al-Awlaki's personality remain unanswered at the moment, what is clear is that Anwar al-Awlaki is now at the top of the list of wanted individuals by the United States and Yemen for terrorism-related activities. He is wanted dead or alive, as indicated by the air bombing carried out by Yemen's air force last month on the Rafd area in the Shabwa Governorate, and in which at least seven members of Al-Qaeda were killed. It emerged later that the primary target of the bombing was Anwar al-Awlaki, who took shelter in the Al-Kur Mountains in order to seek the protection of his tribe (Al-Awalik) and to exploit the difficult topology of the region so that he would not be reached easily.

This young man, to whom the doors of prosperity and happiness were open in Yemen on the basis of his education, culture and his father's status in society, today is a fugitive wanted by the Yemeni security organizations, and targeted by aircraft missiles in order to avenge the US soldiers in Fort Hood Base, and other places. Will the Yemeni "Tora Bora" Mountains protect him?

Al-Awlaki's father says that his son is not a terrorist. He stresses in recent press statements that Anwar is protected by tribes and that if he appeared in any way that would constitute a danger to his life. The father does not know whether the Yemeni and US authorities will give him a chance to prove Anwar's innocence of what is attributed to him, namely incitement to murder.

Al-Awlaki's family is suffering a great deal because of the situation with Anwar and is being harassed by the local media, which upsets Al-Awlaki's father very much a member of the family confirmed to Asharq Al-Awsat.

Observers think that there is a weak ray of hope for Anwar al-Awlaki and people like him to return to normal life, and to avoid being killed or imprisoned. It is in responding to the call by President Ali Abdullah Saleh addressed to the members of Al-Qaeda in Yemen to lay down their arms and sit down at the table of intellectual dialog, as it happened some years ago through the intellectual dialog committee, which was presided over by Judge Hamud al-Hattar, the current Yemeni minister of Islamic trusts.

However that seems unlikely with the Yemeni authorities declaring an "open war" on Al-Qaeda after the United States pointed an accusing finger at Yemen saying that it had become a "safe haven" for Al-Qaeda after Pakistan and Afghanistan. Because of this, the Yemeni Government's methods and policies in dealing with Al-Qaeda have changed; in the past, Yemeni security organizations would try to arrest suspected members of Al-Qaeda; today they have resorted to hunting them down directly, and killing them on land or by air, guaranteeing an unknown fate for the "young imam."

Lawmaker calls for more honest officer evals

By Rick Maze - Staff writer
Posted : Monday Jan 18, 2010 10:49:30 EST

Fallout from the investigation into the shootings at Fort Hood, Texas, in November could bring an overhaul of the military’s officer evaluation system, a key lawmaker says.

Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., the House Armed Services Committee chairman who has spent much of his congressional career studying the training and development of officers, said something must be done to ensure that evaluations of officers contain an honest assessment of their attributes and flaws.

That is not happening today, he said on the C-SPAN Newsmaker program Sunday, because of “a natural tendency not to want to say unpleasant things.”

“If someone is not performing to standards or acts different, acts funny, superiors should know about that and try to correct it,” Skelton said. “Many times it is correctable.”

Among the things that need attention, he said, is how a person “acts; ... do they show up at work, do they show up late, are they unpleasant to co-workers? All of that goes into how someone performs their duties. If all of that is accurately reported, it would be so much better.”

Skelton said he was not trying to weed out anyone who acts a little different in the ranks. “Military history is filled with people who have idiosyncrasies, or who are irascible.”

Skelton’s committee will hold a hearing Wednesday to discuss results of a Pentagon investigation into the shooting. Part of the investigation focuses on whether there were missed cues about the potential threat posed by the alleged gunman, Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

The investigation and the hearing will focus mainly on Army procedures, but Skelton said problems with efficiency and evaluation reports on officers run across the services.

“So often, the reports do not reflect a person’s competency or lack thereof,” said Skelton.

The changes he says are necessary do not require an act of Congress, but could be made by the services under current authority.

Muslim question persists in Army shooting

By Bill Gertz

Fear of offending Muslims or being insensitive to religion was likely a key factor to why Army supervisors missed signs that the suspect in the deadly Fort Hood shooting rampage was a Muslim extremist, according to national security experts.

Senior Pentagon officials last week sought to play down or sidestep questions about why Army supervisors and FBI counterterrorism officials missed warning signs or failed to take action against Army Maj. Nidal Hasan before the Nov. 5 attack, which killed 13 people — all but one them soldiers.

Rep. Ike Skelton, Missouri Democrat and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a C-SPAN interview Sunday that committee hearings set for Wednesday will examine the two "disconnects" related to Army personnel reports: that Maj. Hasan was promoted despite signs that he had become radicalized, and that intelligence reports indicating the major had terrorism links apparently were ignored.

Patrick S. Poole, a counterterrorism consultant to government and law enforcement, said the Pentagon report did not address the problem of political correctness in the military "that allowed for Maj. Hasan's continued rise despite his poor performance." Mr. Poole said an "atmosphere of intimidation" exists in the military regarding Islamist threats that "prevented any substantive complaints to [Maj. Hasan's] increasingly extremist statements."

"Everyone along the way was content to give him a pass," Mr. Poole said.

Former Army Secretary Togo D. West Jr., who co-led a Pentagon review of the shooting, dismissed concerns that Maj. Hasan's religion was a factor in performance reviews during his career as an Army medical counselor.

When asked whether the immediate problem at Fort Hood, Texas, was Islamist radicalization, Mr. West declined to single out Islamists. "Our concern is not with the religion," he told reporters at the Pentagon. "It is with the potential effect on our soldiers' ability to do their job."

Mr. West said "radicalization of any sort" is the issue and that "our concern is with actions and effects, not necessarily with motivations."

Adm. Vernon E. Clark, a former chief of naval operations and the investigation's other co-leader, declined to answer when asked whether political correctness led to the Army security failures. He suggested that the matter is addressed in a secret annex to the report that he and Mr. West helped produce.

A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment on whether political correctness contributed to the security lapse.

Spain to take Yemeni man now at Guantánamo

By Herald staff and agencies
Gitmo@MiamiHerald.com

MADRID -- A Spanish Foreign Ministry official said Monday that the country would take in two detainees from the U.S. prison camps at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

One of them is from Yemen, the official told the Associated Press, declining to disclose the nationality of the other.

Foreign Minister Miguel Angel Moratinos announced last week that Spain was completing an agreement with the United States to take in two prisoners and that neither was Yemeni.

The ministry official told The Associated Press Monday that the minister may have misspoken.

At least one Yemeni at Guantánamo is under a U.S. federal court release order, having been ruled by a judge to be unlawfully detained in Cuba as an ``enemy combatant.'' It was not immediately clear whether the captive slated for transfer to Spain was that man, Saed Hatim, in his 30s.

Yemeni transfers became controversial after the disclosure that a Nigerian man who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas Day had trained in Yemen, and perhaps had contact with a former Saudi detainee at Guantánamo, now in Yemen.

The prisoners will come to Spain over the next few weeks.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with ministry rules.

He said the Spanish government does not rule out taking in more prisoners in the future.

Leaders of Fort Hood Review to Avoid Hasan Queries

Updated: Wednesday, 20 Jan 2010, 7:35 AM CST
Published : Wednesday, 20 Jan 2010, 7:35 AM CST

CALVIN WOODWARD, RICHARD LARDNER, Associated Press Writers

WASHINGTON - Leaders of an internal Pentagon inquiry into the deadly Fort Hood shootings aren't talking about why the accused gunman moved through the military's ranks despite repeated concerns over his performance and behavior.

Former Army Secretary Togo West and retired Navy Adm. Vern Clark were expected to testify Wednesday on Capitol Hill, but they said they won't discuss specifics about Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan in open session "in order to preserve the integrity of the ongoing military justice process," according to their prepared testimony before the House Armed Services Committee.

Hasan's supervisors sanitized his performance appraisals in the years prior to the shootings, according to government documents obtained by The Associated Press that reveal concerns about him at almost every stage of his Army education.

Officers in charge of Hasan loaded praise into the alleged gunman's record despite knowing he was chronically late for work, saw few patients, disappeared when he was on call and confronted those around him with his Islamic views.

The materials also disclose concerns that the psychiatrist-in-training might have been developing a psychosis, according to the documents, yet no mental health evaluation was done.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates last week released the results of the review led by West and Clark that found several unidentified medical officers failed to use "appropriate judgment and standards of officership" when reviewing Hasan's performance as a student, internist and psychiatric resident.

Gates withheld details, noting disciplinary action is possible. But the disjointed picture emerges through information gathered during the internal review. The material shows that the same supervisor who meticulously catalogued Hasan's problems suddenly swept them under the rug when graduation arrived.

Nothing in this record points specifically to a risk Hasan would turn violent.

On Nov. 5, according to witnesses, Hasan walked into a processing center at Fort Hood where troops undergo medical screening and opened fire with a pair of handguns. Thirteen people were killed and many more were wounded.

Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. Authorities have not said whether they plan to seek the death penalty.

After the Fort Hood shootings, Gates appointed West and Clark to examine the procedures and policies for identifying threats within the military services.

Fort Hood Report: No Mention of Islam, Hasan Not Named

Time.com

By MARK THOMPSON / WASHINGTON Mark Thompson / Washington – Wed Jan 20, 1:20 pm ET

The U.S. military's just-released report into the Fort Hood shootings spends 86 pages detailing various slipups by Army officers but not once mentions Major Nidal Hasan by name or even discusses whether the killings may have had anything to do with the suspect's view of his Muslim faith. And as Congress opens two days of hearings on Wednesday into the Pentagon probe of the Nov. 5 attack that left 13 dead, lawmakers want explanations for that omission.

John Lehman, a member of the 9/11 commission and Navy Secretary during the Reagan Administration, says a reluctance to cause offense by citing Hasan's view of his Muslim faith and the U.S. military's activities in Muslim countries as a possible trigger for his alleged rampage reflects a problem that has gotten worse in the 40 years that Lehman has spent in and around the U.S. military. The Pentagon report's silence on Islamic extremism "shows you how deeply entrenched the values of political correctness have become," he told TIME on Tuesday. "It's definitely getting worse, and is now so ingrained that people no longer smirk when it happens." (See pictures of Major Nidal Malik Hasan's apartment.)

The apparent lack of curiosity into what allegedly drove Hasan to kill isn't in keeping with the military's ethos; it's a remarkable omission for the U.S. armed forces, whose young officers are often ordered to read Sun Tzu's The Art of War with its command to know your enemy. In midcareer, they study the contrast between capabilities and intentions, which is why they aren't afraid of a British nuclear weapon but do fear the prospect of Iran getting one.

Yet the leaders of the two-month Pentagon review, former Army Secretary Togo West and the Navy's onetime top admiral, Vernon Clark, told reporters last week that they didn't drill down into Hasan's motives. "Our concern is with actions and effects, not necessarily with motivations," West said. Added Clark: "We certainly do not cite a particular group." Part of their reticence, they said, was to avoid running afoul of the criminal probe of Hasan that is now under way. Both are declining interview requests before their congressional testimony, a Pentagon spokesman said. (Read TIME's cover story on the Fort Hood massacre.)

But without a motive, there would have been no murder. Hasan wore his radical Islamic faith and its jihadist tendencies in the same way he wore his Army uniform. He allegedly proselytized within the ranks, spoke out against the wars his Army was waging in Muslim countries and shouted "Allahu akbar" (God is great) as he gunned down his fellow soldiers. Those who served alongside Hasan find the Pentagon review wanting. "The report demonstrates that we are unwilling to identify and confront the real enemy of political Islam," says a former military colleague of Hasan, speaking privately because he was ordered not to talk about the case. "Political correctness has brainwashed us to the point that we no longer understand our heritage and cannot admit who, or what, the enemy stands for."

The Department of Defense Independent Review Related to Fort Hood, ordered by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, is limited in scope. Despite the title of its report - Protecting the Force: Lessons from Fort Hood - there is only a single page dedicated to the chapter called "Oversight of the Alleged Perpetrator." Much more space is given to military personnel policies (11 pages), force protection (six pages) and the emergency response to the shootings (12 pages).

Senator Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut said he was "disappointed" because the inquiry "does not adequately recognize the specific threat posed by violent Islamist extremism to our military," and added that the homeland-security panel he chairs will investigate. The Congressman whose district includes Fort Hood agrees. "The report ignores the elephant in the room - radical Islamic terrorism is the enemy," says Republican Representative John Carter. "We should be able to speak honestly about good and bad without feeling like you've done something offensive to society."

The report lumps in radical Islam with other fundamentalist religious beliefs, saying that "religious fundamentalism alone is not a risk factor" and that "religious-based violence is not confined to members of fundamentalist groups." But to some, that sounds as if the lessons of 9/11, Afghanistan and Iraq, where jihadist extremism has driven deadly violence against Americans, are being not merely overlooked but studiously ignored.

Airstrikes target home of Yemeni al Qaeda leader

By Bill RoggioJanuary 20, 2010 3:21 PM

Yemen has carried out several airstrikes today on the home of a leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula who was reported to have been killed in a strike last week.

The Yemeni Air Force carried out several bombing runs against the home of Ayed al Shabwani, the leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in Marib province, in the village of Erq al Shabwan.

The military attacked Shabwani's home and a nearby orange grove four times today, according to a report at Al Jazeera. Al Qaeda fighters were reportedly sheltering in the orange grove in a facility built by Shabwani. The al Qaeda fighters in the area returned fire on the attack aircraft.

"The government said there was an exchange of fire and that al-Qaeda members were armed with anti-aircraft weapons, which they tried to use against the government aircraft," an Al Jazeera reporter said.

The editor of the Yemen Post, a pro-government news outlet, said there were 17 raids in Marib during the day.

"Today, there have been 17 raids inside Marib, most of them trying to attack Shabwani and his friends. They are still ongoing," Hakim Almasmari, the editor, stated. "Until now, there is only one al-Qaida leader killed. [Yemeni security forces] have troops on the ground, but doing nothing. Most of the attacks are from the air."

Marib is one of several provinces, including Abyan, that is considered to be beyond the control of the government. The governor of Marib, Ahmed al Misri, admitted as much in a recent interview with The Christian Science Monitor.

"In all honesty, [government control] is not so strong," al Misri said during a meeting with reporters. "We don’t have enough weapons, we don’t have enough soldiers. Our resources are so stretched that if something happens in the countryside, we can’t respond because there are no helicopters of airplanes."

Yemeni government's claims of al Qaeda casualties are suspect

The Yemeni government is fast losing its credibility for accurate reporting on the status of al Qaeda leaders and operatives killed or captured during government operations.

Several days ago, the Yemeni government claimed that Shabwani had been killed in an airstrike on Jan. 15 along with Qasim al Raymi, the military commander of the terror group.

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula denied the government reports that Raymi, Shabwani, and four other operatives were killed. Raymi was spotted by tribal leaders a day after the government claimed he was killed.

This week, the Yemeni government retracted its claims that Said Ali al Shihri, the deputy leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, was captured after an accident at a military checkpoint. The government later claimed that a different man, Yusuf al Shihri, was actually the person who had been captured after the accident, but Yusuf was killed last year.

Yemen began to exert pressure on Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in mid-December 2009 after the US and Britain began voicing concerns over the terror group's ability to sponsor attacks in Saudi Arabia and the West. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has been establishing training camps, and it has supported Al Shabaab, al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia. Two recent attacks on the US - the Christmas Eve airline plot, and the shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas - have been traced back to Yemen. Authorities now believe more plots are being hatched in Yemen.

Since mid-December, there have been four airstrikes against Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula leaders. The Yemeni government claims it is carrying out the strikes, but the US is known to have conducted the first strike, on Dec. 17. US officials say the US is only providing intelligence and military support for the strikes.

Evaluations Matter, Fort Hood Panel Says

By Gerry J. Gilmore
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 2010 – Leaders must take action when servicemembers display indicators of committing violence against their comrades, the co-chairs of a review panel appointed to assess the causes of the Fort Hood shootings said here today.

On Nov. 19, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates appointed former Army Secretary Togo West and retired Navy Adm. Vernon Clark, a former chief of naval operations, to head a review panel to determine, among other things, why an allegedly troubled Army medical officer apparently slipped through the military’s evaluation process.

“Evaluations make a difference,” West told members of the House Armed Services Committee. “And, we can’t do the job of leading or protecting against threats if honest evaluations are not done by those who have the duty, the information and the authority to do so.”

The panel provided its report to Gates on Jan. 15.

Much of the report addresses “violence by a servicemember against his or her colleagues,” West said.

Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is charged with killing 13 people, 12 military and one civilian, and wounding 43 others during a Nov. 5, 2009, shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.

The alleged assailant was shot and disabled by a Fort Hood civilian police officer, who also was wounded in an exchange of gunfire. Hasan, who is hospitalized and under detention, has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 specifications of attempted premeditated murder under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The UCMJ is the U.S. military’s legal system for servicemembers.

It is imperative, West told committee members, that military leaders be alert to indicators that servicemembers under their charge might commit acts of violence against their comrades.

It’s also necessary to document and catalogue such indicators of violence, West said, in order “to make them available for the persons who need to know what are the indicators and where have the indicators been noted, and then to prepare ourselves to act when that evidence is before us; to make it available to our commanders so that they can act, and to be clear about their authority.”

Hasan, a Muslim, allegedly became radicalized and complained to colleagues about his role as a U.S. military officer when he was posted at Walter Reed Army Medical Center here before being assigned to Fort Hood in July 2009.

Gates directed the panel to review military personnel policies, procedures for force protection, and emergency response measures, West said, as well as policies that apply to those who provide medical care to servicemembers.

The panel also was tasked to “take a look at how the Army applied its policies and procedures to the alleged perpetrator,” he said.

The military, West told committee members, also needs “to pay attention” to potential dangers as the war against global extremism continues.

“The fact is that we need to understand the forces that cause an individual to radicalize, commit violent acts and thereby to make us vulnerable from within,” West said.

A key focus of the review was “on violence that comes from any kind of behavior,” Clark told the committee. “But, what we found, especially, was that policies on the internal threat are inadequate.”

Prohibited behaviors and actions “need to be addressed,” Clark said. And, he said, barriers to information sharing among the chain-of-command need to be removed.

Regulatory guidance on improper servicemember behavior already exists, Clark acknowledged. But, he added, such guidance “is incomplete for the day in which we live.”

West and Clark both praised the rapid response provided by Fort Hood’s security personnel.

“We were impressed by what we saw at Fort Hood,” Clark said, noting the actions of first responders that stopped the alleged shooter “prevented greater loss.”

“With that response, lives were saved,” West agreed. “And yet, 13 people died; scores more were wounded.”

The military, the former Army secretary said, must do a better job of being ready for the unexpected.

“We can prepare better,” West said. “We must plan with greater attention. And we must make the effort to look around the corners of our future and anticipate the next potential event in order to deflect it.”

Hasan had troubles at every turn

Imam Anwar Al-Aulaqi will not surrender

SANAA - The radical imam Anwar al-Aulaqi, wanted in Yemen and in the United States has no intention of surrendering to the Yemeni authorities, with whom no negotiation is ongoing, declared Wednesday one of his relatives.

    *
         According to journalist Abdulelah Shaea, who is a friend of the US-Yemeni preacher with whom he claims to have been in contact recently, the assertions of the authorities in Sanaa that contacts have been made to reach his surrender are false.

         "Anwar al-Aulaqi told me that nobody has contacted him and nothing is negotiated. He has no intention of surrendering," said Shaea, reputed to be one of the Yemeni Journalists better informed about the jihadist movement in his country.

         It was he who, on December 23, had made the first interview of the young imam, already in flight, in which al-Aulaqi confirmed to have been in contact with the American commander Nidal Hassan, who fired on November 5 soldiers in Fort Hood (Texas), killing 13 people.

         "Anwar is at home, protected by his tribe. The police and the army know that it is impossible to get him there," said Shaea. "He has no confidence in a government that has jailed him without charge in 2006 and freed him after a year and a half without having been tried."

         Saturday, Nasser Aulaqi, the father of the preacher, had confirmed to a Yemeni weekly that his son was in the province of Chabwa, one of the strongholds of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQPA).

         "There are probably members of Al Qaeda who provide protection, but because they are part of the same tribe and not because he is a member of Al Qaeda," he said.

Fort Hood families receive donation

University of Phoenix donates over $50,000

Updated: Tuesday, 19 Jan 2010, 12:49 PM EST
Published : Tuesday, 19 Jan 2010, 12:48 PM EST

Reshma Kirpalani

KILLEEN, Texas (KXAN) - The University of Phoenix donated more than $50,000 to the Fort Hood chapter of the Association of the United States Army.

University employees – many of whom are members of the Killeen, Texas community where Fort Hood is located – donated the funds during a month-long drive. The University of Phoenix provided a matching contribution to the employee donations, which will make it easier for soldiers and their families to advance their educations.

"Along with the rest of the nation, we were deeply saddened by the tragedy at Fort Hood and wanted to help those who were most impacted by it," said the school's North Texas State vice president Chris Helmueller. "As a member of the Killeen community, University of Phoenix has dedicated resources to help support and rebuild Fort Hood. As we honor the fallen soldiers, our thoughts and prayers continue to be with their families and the other military men and women at the base.”
