Intel Workers Hurt as Substance Ignites at
Local Plant
A flash fire erupted in a solvent-collection room Tuesday at Intel's Ocotillo campus,
injuring seven employees, one severely, authorities said. Several hundred people were
evacuated from Building OC-10, said Chandler Fire Battalion Chief Scott Wall. One
employee suffered second or third degree burns and was transported to Maricopa Medical
Center, Wall said. The worker was "severely injured" but the burns are not life-
threatening, Wall said. The fire that erupted was quenched by the time three hazmat
units and 70 firefighters from Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Sun Lakes and Phoenix
arrived, Wall said. An investigation is underway to determine if the accident was
human or machine caused, Wall said. A hazmat team from the Chandler Fire Department,
the lead agency, determined the leak had stopped, Wall said. The petroleum-based
solvents are flammable but not poisonous, he said.
The collection room contains four types of

solvents. Some are deposited into 55-gallon
drums after running over metals, while
others are stored in drums, Wall said.
Intel, Wall said, accounts for every drop
of chemical in public reports. Wall said
Chandler Fire inspects the plant twice a
year. "An incident of this size is very
rare.“ About 5,000 people work on the
Ocotillo campus, one of two Intel locations
in Chandler.

Woman Yells 'Molested' at Sky Harbor
A woman was yelling hysterically at Sky Harbor International Airport after she claimed
she was molested by a TSA agent. “I want a police now. Now! I want a police officer.
You just molested me,” she can be heard yelling on a Youtube video that has gone
viral. The woman complained about a female TSA agent touching her breast during a
security pat down. The woman's son captured it all on his phone over Memorial Day
weekend. The alleged groping is not recorded on the tape, but the woman‟s screaming is
heard. The man holding the camera said TSA illegally tried to stop him from recording.
“You cannot film. You are not allowed to film. You need to go,” the TSA worker says in
the video as she tries to move the man with the camera. There's a whole lot more to
the story than the video. The family had an issue at Sky Harbor on New Year's Eve
because of a camera in security. There are also multiple protest videos posted by the
same person on Youtube, attacking government leaders, the police and the Federal
Reserve.

PHOENIX
Medical Marijuana Superstore Opens in Arizona
Some local wags are calling it the "Wal-Mart of Weed" or "Home DePot.“ Seeking to
capitalize on Arizona's newly enacted medical marijuana law, a California-based
company on Wednesday opened a superstore-sized garden center in Phoenix catering to
those who want to grow their own cannabis. "We sell everything but the plant itself,"
said Dhar Mann, founder of weGrow, the company that began franchising its big-box
stores with outlets in Oakland and Sacramento, California. "We sell the products and
the services for people to safely and responsibly cultivate their medicine.“ The
21,000-square-foot store offers some 2,000 products, including soil, grow lights and
irrigation trays, specially designed for effective marijuana growing, Mann told
Reuters. A doctor also is on site to furnish eligible patients the initial medical
approval needed to apply to the state health department for cards authorizing them to
legally grow and use marijuana as treatment for a variety of qualifying ailments.
The store's opening came on the same day that

Arizona was to have begun accepting applications
from individuals seeking one of 125 permits the
state plans to grant for the operation of medical
marijuana dispensaries. But that process was put on
hold last week. Arizona is the 16th state in the
nation, plus the District of Columbia, to
decriminalize marijuana for medical purposes. But
Dennis Burke, the U.S. attorney for Arizona, warned
in a letter to state health officials last month
that the cultivation, sale and distribution of
cannabis, classified by the U.S. government as an
illegal narcotic, remains a federal crime.

SKY HARBOR
Suspicious Package Delivered to CBP
On June 9, 2011, Phoenix Police and Fire Departments responded to a suspicious package
call at the CBP Building locating within Sky Harbor property. One subject was exposed
to a powder substance when the package was opened. He was treated by PFD and showed no
illness after coming into contact with the substance. The powder was transported to
the State Lab and was later determined not to be harmful. Material found on the actual
letter was turned over to the JTTF for further investigation. There was no threat to
the City of Phoenix or Arizona on the letter. Several departments and jurisdiction
worked well together to mitigate this situation.

SPRINGERVILLE
TEP Makes Backup Plans in Case Fire Shuts
Springerville Plant
Officials of Tucson Electric Power Co. are closely monitoring the Wallow fire in
eastern Arizona for possible damage to power lines leading from the Springerville
Generating Station and the San Juan Generating Station in western New Mexico.
While the Springverville plant is not in immediate danger, at around midday the fire
was about eight miles from the high-voltage transmission lines, TEP spokesman Joe
Salkowski said. If the fire gets within about a half-mile of the lines, thick smoke
could cause the lines to arc, triggering an automatic shutoff, Salkowski said.
If power from Springerville is disrupted, TEP is prepared to rely on local generation
from the H. Wilson Sundt Generating Station on East Irvington Road in to maintain
normal service, he said, adding the Tucson plant already has been fired up in
preparation. “It will, however, leave us more vulnerable to other, unforeseen
problems,” Salkowksi said.
If the Springerville and San Juan lines are down and

a third line fails, TEP could be subject to
blackouts, he said. TEP operates the four-unit,
coal-fired Springerville plant, which has a total
generating capacity of 1,560 megawatts. TEP gets
power from Units 1 and 2; Tri-State Generation and
Transmission, a consortium of utilities serving
parts of Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Wyoming
gets power from Unit 3; and the Salt River Project
gets power from Unit 4. TEP is allotted half of the
power from two of the four generating units of the
San Juan power plant, near Farmington, N.M.

TEMPE
Light Rail Public Emergency Drill
The drills are done biannually to meet Federal Transit Authority requirements, but
this is the first time Metro re-enacted the emergency outside of the agency's
maintenance yard. The drill gave Metro operators and public safety workers the chance
to refine interagency communication as they worked to evacuate passengers from the
two-car train and off the bridge. The drill allowed Metro and public safety workers to
practice planned aspects of the emergency. But unexpected moments, like Anaya's
struggle with the door, provide opportunities for Metro to review train safety. Foose
said Metro will review the issue in a debriefing in which the drill is analyzed.
"We do these kinds of efforts to ensure that we are continuing to practice how to be
safe," she said. "Light rail is a relatively new addition to our transportation
network so it's important for us to create the opportunities that give our team as
well as local responders the familiarity needed to keep the customer safe."
Passengers were split into groups that would mimic
the varied responses in a real emergency. Anaya's
group was told to self-evacuate, ignoring a Metro
operator's instructions given over a train intercom.
Others panicked (part of the script) and had to be
guided off the train. Tempe Fire and Police
departments responded to a 911 call reporting that
there were injuries on a light-rail train that had
stalled on a bridge over Town Lake. Mike Reichling, a
Tempe Fire Department spokesman, said the drill
allowed Metro and public safety workers to practice
working together during an emergency.

YUMA
Arizona Rampage Leaves 6 Dead
A 73-year-old man's shooting rampage in towns near the Arizona border left six people
dead Thursday, including the suspect and the attorney who represented his ex-wife in
their divorce. Police said Carey Hal Dyess also wounded one person in the shootings
around Yuma, a city of about 200,000, before he was found dead of an apparent self-
inflicted gunshot wound nearly six hours after the first shots were fired.
The lawyer was killed while packing up his office on his last day of work.
"This is not a random act," Yuma Police Chief Jerry Geier said. "These victims were
targeted.“ Yuma County Sheriff Ralph Ogden said the first shooting was reported
shortly after 5 a.m. in Wellton, about 25 miles east of Yuma. The woman was in
critical condition at a Phoenix hospital.
He said Dyess then fatally shot four people

around town before driving to Yuma and killing
prominent attorney Jerrold Shelley at about 9:20
a.m. The bodies in Wellton were found between
8:20 and 9:45 a.m. Police believe Dyess drove
back toward Wellton, pulled over and fatally
shot himself. His body was found at 10:47 a.m.
inside a vehicle. Neither police nor the sheriff
would identify the other four dead. Shelley was
killed in his downtown law office. Shelley
represented Dyess' ex-wife in their 2006
divorce, which was Dyess' fifth.

HAWAII
Airport Screeners Fired Over Explosives Lapse
US transport authorities announced Friday the sacking of more than 30 staff at

Honolulu International Airport for failing to screen baggage properly for explosives.
The Transportation Security Administration took the action after a probe on the US
island state of Hawaii triggered in December when two TSA staff reported baggage being
loaded onto aircraft without proper screening. "The investigation determined that some
checked baggage during one shift, at one airport location was not properly screened,
impacting a limited number of flights each day during the last few months of 2010,"
said a TSA statement. The federal transport body said it had "proposed the removal of
more than 30 Honolulu International Airport TSA employees following an extensive
investigation into allegations of improper screening of checked baggage."
"TSA holds its workforce to the highest ethical standards and we will not tolerate
employees who in any way compromise the security of the traveling public," said TSA
Administrator John Pistole.
"We have taken appropriate action through our newly
established Office of Professional Responsibility and are
committed to ensuring our high security standards are
upheld in Hawaii and throughout the country.“ Senior TSA
staff have been temporarily assigned to the airport "to
augment the current staff and continue to ensure that a
high level of security operations continues," said the
agency. "An effort will commence to hire local permanent
replacements in the coming weeks."Security at US airports
was tightened in the wake of the September 11, 2001
attacks. Authorities also warned of a need for heightened

New Al Qaeda Video: American Muslims Should Buy Guns,
Start Shooting People
In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda

spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man
terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target
major institutions and public figures. "What are you waiting for?" asks Gadahn in
English, and then adds that jihadis shouldn't worry about getting caught, since so
many have been released. "Over these past few years, I've seen the release of many,
many Mujahideen whom I had never even dreamed would regain their freedom." The two-
part, two hour video appeared on jihadi websites with images of jihadi leaders as well
as snapshots of alleged underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and accused Fort
Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan. Both Hasan and Abdulmutallab are charged with carrying
out attacks inside the U.S. Called "Do Not Rely on Others, Take the Task Upon
Yourself" and produced by al Qaeda's media arm, as Sahab, the tape mixes Gadahn's new
message with clips from old videos of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and other al
Qaeda leaders praising one-man attacks. They call on jihadis in the West to carry out
lone wolf operations. "Muslims in the West have to remember that they are perfectly
placed to play an important and decisive part in the Jihad against the Zionists and
crusaders, and to do major damage to the enemies of Islam, waging war on their
religion, sacred places, and things, and brethren," says Gadahn. "This is a golden
opportunity and a blessing."
Gadahn suggests targeting major institutions --
after a clip showing the logos of such firms as
Exxon, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America -- and
"influential public figures." "Getting to these
criminals isn't as hard as you might think," says
Gadahn. Source: http://abcnews.go.com

OHIO
20th Somali Muslim Terrorist Arrested in U.S.
An Ohio man who once lived in Eden Prairie was arrested Thursday morning in Columbus,
becoming the 20th person of Somali descent charged in Minnesota for allegedly
supporting the terror group Al-Shabab. Ahmed Hussein Mahamud, 26, made his initial
appearance Thursday morning in federal court for the Southern District of Ohio. He is
on his way to Minnesota to face charges that he provided money and personnel to Al-
Shabab, a group defined as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department.
Al-Shabab is fighting a civil war for control of Somalia. A Minnesota man was killed
last week while attempting a suicide bombing on behalf of Al-Shabab. His family
believes the man is Farah Mohamed Beledi. Beledi was one of 19 people who have been
indicted in Minnesota for allegedly providing material support to a terrorist
organization. Mahamud, who was indicted last week but whose indictment was sealed
until his arrest Thursday, becomes the 20th. The indictments come from a three-year
investigation into the recruiting, training and funding of Somalis from the U.S. to
return to their homeland to fight. An estimated 20 young men from Minnesota are
believed to have returned to Somalia since 2008, sparking what has been considered one
of the largest counterterrorism investigations in the U.S. since the attacks of Sept.
11, 2001.
Federal officials say eight of the 20 charged have been

arrested in the U.S. or overseas. Five of them have
pleaded guilty in connection to the case. Three others
are awaiting trial here, including Omer Abdi Mohamed and
two women from Rochester accused of raising money for
Al-Shabab. Omer Mohamed is scheduled to go on trial July
13. He is also accused of raising money to help send
others to Somalia to fight.

WASHINGTON STATE
Man Arrested on Explosives Charge Visited Jihadist
Forums, Read AQAP Inspire
Washington state man arrested on bomb charges Monday was a reader of Al Qaeda in the
Arabian Peninsula's "Inspire" Engligh-language magazine and sought to make contacts
with terrorist through jihadist forums. The arrest comes in the wake of heightened
concerns about homegrown terrorism due to the death of Osama bin Laden. Joey Brice,
21, of Clarkston, Wash., was taken into custody Monday after a search warrant was
executed at his home. According to local news reports, agents removed several bags of
evidence from his home. In April 2010, Brice detonated an improvised explosive device
using several components commonly found in terrorist bomb recipes. The device
detonated prematurely, severely injuring Brice. The bomb formed the basis for the
grand jury indictment which led to his arrest this week. Brice was previously
convicted of possessing a loaded firearm without a permit and minor drug charges.
An affidavit in support of the search warrant on Brice's house and
other properties was unsealed this week and obtained by INTELWIRE.
It reveals significant new information about Brice's activities
including extensive interest in jihadist online forums and
propaganda. However, the affidavit does not clearly indicate
whether Brice was a would-be jihadist (or even a Muslim), or
simply a would-be serial bomber. In addition to his dalliances
with online jihadists, Brice posted comments and contents related
to Timothy McVeigh and the attempted Martin Luther King Day
bombing in Spokane, Wash. The unifying thread in his activities
appears to be explosives. Nevertheless, he found much content of
interest among jihadist sources, including Al Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsula's "Inspire" Engligh-language magazine. In online
postings, Brice made references to an Inspire article titled "Make
a bomb in the kitchen of your mom," among others. Source: http://news.intelwire.com

WASHINGTON D.C.
FAA to Impose Fines for Pointing Lasers into
Aircraft Cockpits
DOT Secretary Ray LaHood and FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt announced this week that
FAA will begin to impose civil penalties of up to $11,000 per violation against people
who point a laser into the cockpit of an aircraft. FAA released a legal
interpretation, which finds that directing a laser beam into an aircraft cockpit could
interfere with a flight crew performing its duties while operating an aircraft, a
violation of Federal Aviation Regulations. In the past, FAA has taken enforcement
action under this regulation against passengers physically on-board an aircraft who
interfere with crewmembers. The interpretation reflects the fact that pointing a laser
at an aircraft from the ground could seriously impair a pilot's vision and interfere
with the flight crew's ability to safely handle its responsibilities. The maximum
civil penalty FAA can impose on an individual for violating the FAA's regulations that
prohibit interfering with a flight crew is $11,000 per violation.
This year, pilots have reported more than 1,100 incidents
nationwide of lasers being pointed at aircraft. Laser
event reports have steadily increased since FAA created a
formal reporting system in 2005 to collect information
from pilots. Reports rose from nearly 300 in 2005 to
1,527 in 2009 and 2,836 in 2010.
Legislation that would criminalize purposefully aiming a
laser device at an aircraft is currently pending in
Congress. The Senate included this language in the FAA
Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement
Act, which it passed on Feb. 17, 2011. On Feb. 28, the
House of Representatives passed legislation that would

Both bills are awaiting further action.

Massive Gmail Phishing Attack Hits Top U.S. Officials
Hundreds of personal Gmail accounts, including those of some senior U.S. government
officials, were hacked as a result of a massive phishing scheme originating from
China, Google said. The account hijackings were a result of stolen passwords, likely
by malware installed on victims' computers or through victims' responses to e-mails
from malicious hackers posing as trusted sources. That type of hack is known as
phishing. Gmail's security systems themselves were not compromised, Google said. The
company believes the phishing attack emanated from Jinan, China. In addition to the
U.S. government personnel, other targets included South Korean government officials
and federal workers of several other Asian countries, Chinese political activists,
military personnel and journalists.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed the
issue morning. "Google informed the State
Department of this situation yesterday in advance
of its public announcement," she said. "These
allegations are very serious, we take them
seriously, we're looking into them, and because
this will be an ongoing investigation I would refer
you to first Google for any details that they are
able to share at this time, and to the FBI, which
will be conducting the investigation.“ Federal
Bureau of Investigation spokesman Paul Bresson said
the agency is working with Google and with U.S.
government agencies "to review this matter further

Somali Militants Aiming to Attack Abroad: CIA Chief
Al-Qaeda linked militants who control much of Somalia are looking to extend their
operations and carry out attacks abroad, CIA chief Leon Panetta will tell US
lawmakers. "The threat from Al-Shebab to the US and Western interests in the Horn of
Africa and to the US homeland is significant and on the rise," Panetta says in written
responses to the Senate Armed Services committee. Panetta is to attend Thursday's
hearing as the Senate considers his nomination to be the next secretary of defense to
replace Robert Gates. "Al-Shebab leaders, who have claimed affiliation with Al-Qaeda
since 2007, are developing ties with Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, and are
showing an increasing desire to stage international terrorist attacks in addition to
their acts of violence inside Somalia," he says in his written text, a copy of which
was obtained by AFP Wednesday. Panetta was nominated on April 28 by President Barack
Obama to replace Gates who retires on June 30. His nomination has to be confirmed by
the Senate. "Al-Shebab employs several hundred foreign fighters and regularly tries to
recruit fighters from Somali diaspora communities in the United States and Europe,"
Panetta writes.
As the Islamist movement, which controls much of Somalia
and a large part of the capital Mogadishu, "faces
increasing international pressure, we may see the group
increase its international attacks," he warns. The Shebab
carried out its first attack outside Somali territory in
July 2010 when it claimed a double bombing in which 79
people died in Kampala. Panetta warned that Somalia,
which has had no effective government since dictator Siad
Barre was deposed in 1991, could become a new haven for
Al-Qaeda, whose leader Osama bin Laden was killed in a US
commando raid on May 2. Source: AFP

127 Border Patrol and Customs Workers
Arrested for Corruption
Testifying on Thursday before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs
Subcommittee on Disaster Recovery and Intergovernmental Affairs, Alan Bersin,
commissioner of the CBP, said: “Since 2004 in October, 127 CBP personnel have been
arrested, charged or convicted of corruption. This breach of trust is something that
we do not stand for, and while seven years and tens of thousands employees have been
besmirched by this, these evidences of corruption, we take each and every one of them
seriously.” “Of the 127 arrests, 95 are considered mission compromising acts of
corruption,” he said. “This means that the employee‟s illegal activities were for
personal gain and violated, or facilitated the violation of, the laws CBP personnel
are charged with enforcing.” The CBP is a component of the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS). Bersin said overall the CBP employs about 60,000 people, 40,000 of
which work at the U.S. borders.
Charles Edwards, the acting Inspector General for DHS,
testified that Mexican drug cartels have turned “to
corrupting DHS employees,” adding that “Border corruption
impacts national security.” “A corrupt DHS employee may
accept a bribe for allowing what appear to be undocumented
aliens into the U.S. while unwittingly helping terrorists
enter the country,” said Edwards. “Likewise, what seems to
be drug contraband could be weapons of mass destruction,
such as chemical or biological weapons.” In his
prepared testimony, Edwards added that his office has 267

CHINA
Accuses U.S. of Launching Global 'Internet War'
The Chinese military accused the U.S. of launching a global "internet war" to bring
down Arab and other governments, redirecting the spotlight away from allegations of
major online attacks on western targets originating in China. The accusations by
Chinese military academy scholars, and their urging of tougher policing of the
internet, followed allegations this week that computer hackers in China had
compromised the personal gmail accounts of several hundred people, including
government officials, military personnel and political activists. Writing in the
Communist Party-controlled China Youth Daily newspaper, the scholars did not mention
Google's claims, but said recent computer attacks and incidents employing the internet
to promote regime change in Arab nations appeared to have originated with the U.S.
government. “Of late, an internet tornado has swept across the world ... massively
impacting and shocking the globe. behind all this lies the shadow of America," said
the article, signed by ye Zheng and Zhao Baoxian, identified as scholars with the
Academy of Military Sciences. “Faced with this warm-up for an internet war, every
nation and military can't be passive but is making preparations to fight the internet
war," it said. While nuclear war was a strategy of the industrial era, internet war is
a product of the information age, the article said. Such conflicts stand to be hugely
destructive, threatening national security and the very existence of the state, it
said. China needs to "express to the world its principled stance of maintaining an
„Internet border' and protecting its „Internet sovereignty,' unite all advanced forces
to dive into the raging torrent of the age of peaceful use of the internet, and return
to the internet world a healthy, orderly environment," the article said. China already
heavily filters content and blocks numerous foreign websites, a system known as the
“Great Firewall of China." the police employ a large force of internet monitors to
scour the web for content deemed illegal or subversive, and those users transmitting
sensitive contact can be charged with sedition or other crimes. Source: http://www.foxnews.com
EGYPT
Muslim Brotherhood Sheikh Running for
President of Egypt
The Muslim Brotherhood wants a diverse parliament after elections in September and is
not seeking to impose Islamic law on Egypt, the head of the group's newly formed
political party said in an interview. The Brotherhood, which has emerged as a powerful
force after years of repression under ousted President Hosni Mubarak, has said it does
not want a parliamentary majority, although rivals see it as well placed for a
dominant position. With secular politicians struggling to mount a challenge, Western
investors are concerned about what a shift to an Islamic-leaning government would mean
for Egypt, which relies on receipts from Western and other tourists and where tension
between Muslims and the Christian minority have flared. "We only use Islam as the
basis of our party ... which means that our general framework is Islamic sharia ... We
don't issue religious rules in individual cases," said Mohamed Mursi, head of the
Brotherhood's newly formed Justice and Freedom Party, which will contest the vote.
Liberal Egyptians in particular worry that the group could use for its own ends the
second article of Egypt's constitution, which makes sharia, Islamic law, a main source
of legislation.
Egypt's military rulers suspended the old constitution and
introduced an interim one, but that article was unchanged.
Mursi, speaking in the group's new five-storey headquarters in
Mokattem on the outskirts of Cairo, dismissed such worries.
"We want to engage in a dialogue not a monologue," he said. "The
Brotherhood does not seek to control the parliament ... We want a
strong parliament ... with different political forces.“But he
said Islamic law could have a place in a civil state in Egypt,
where about 10 percent of the 80 million population are
Christians. "Islamic sharia guarantees the rights of all people,

GERMANY
Prosecutors Charge Terrorist Suspect
German federal prosecutors say they have charged a 21-year-old Austrian man with
supporting a terrorist organization on allegations he raised funds for it and sought
recruits in Berlin. Prosecutors said in a statement that Maqsood L., whose last name
was not given in accordance with German privacy laws, was charged Friday with
supporting the German Taliban Mujahideen, a group of radicals committed to a
"religious fundamentalist society" in Afghanistan and responsible for attacks there.
He was arrested May 16 in Berlin on an Austrian warrant on unrelated charges, after
allegedly traveling from Budapest to the German capital to raise money and recruit
followers. Prosecutors say the question of his extradition to Austria will be
addressed after the German investigation and possible trial.

MI6 Cooks up Confusion for Terrorists
Would-be terrorists searching the Internet for tips on how to build bombs were instead
taught how to bake the perfect cupcake after an intervention by MI6, the Telegraph
reported. Intelligence agency MI6 launched the cyber-operation against Jihadi
magazine, "Inspire", in an attempt to hamper attempts by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian
Peninsular (AQAP) to attract "lone wolf" terrorists. Surfers trying to download the
English-speaking magazine's "Make a bomb in the Kitchen of your Mom" feature were
instead redirected to a site boasting recipes for "The Best Cupcakes in America".
The baking site, which is published by the Ellen DeGeneres chat show, promises treats
for "today's sweet-toothed hipsters" including the mojito cupcake, made using white
rum and vanilla buttercream. Meanwhile, the 67-page Inspire contains recipes showing
how to make rudimentary pipe bombs using sugar, match heads and a miniature lightbulb.
The Jihadi magazine is produced by Anwar al-

Awlaki, one of the leaders of AQAP, who has
lived in Britain and the United States, and
his US colleague Samir Khan. Britain and the
US both planned separately to disrupt the
magazine on learning of its publication, but
the US decided against action as they believed
it was cutting off a source of intelligence,

Al Qaeda's East Africa Chief Killed
The presumed head of Al Qaeda in east Africa, Fazul Abdullah Muhammad, was killed on
Wednesday in Mogadishu, Kenya's police chief said today, confirming a report from
Somali Islamist Shebab rebels. Fazul Abdullah, 38, is thought to have planned the
massive US embassy truck bombings in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998 and had a USD 5
million bounty on his head. "We have received that communication from authorities in
Somalia. We have been told that there were two terrorists who were killed in Somalia
on Wednesday last week," Kenyan Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere told AFP. Iteere
said the identity of one of the two had "been given as Fazul Muhammad ... That is what
we have been told by our counterparts in Somalia.“ "One of the men that was killed
near Mogadishu was Fazul Abdullah, may Allah bless his soul. He is not dead as
thousands like him are still in the fight against the enemy of Allah," a senior Al
Shebab commander had earlier this week told AFP on condition of anonymity.
Officials with the Somali Transitional Government

(TFG) said the men were killed at a roadblock on
Tuesday night. "Our forces fired on two men who
refused to stop at a roadblock. They tried to
defend themselves when they were surrounded by our
men," a TFG military commander, Abdikarim Yusuf,
told AFP. "We took their ID documents, one of
which was a foreign passport," he said, adding
that an investigation was underway.

PAKISTAN
Official Says Top Al Qaeda Operative Killed
An al Qaeda leader sought in the 2008 Mumbai siege and rumored to be a long shot
choice to succeed Usama bin Laden was believed killed in a U.S. drone attack as he met
with other militants in an apple orchard in Pakistan, an intelligence official said.
If confirmed, it would be another blow against the terror organization a month after
the slaying of its leader. The purported death of Ilyas Kashmiri -- who also was
accused of killing many Pakistanis -- could help soothe US-Pakistan ties that nearly
unraveled after the may 2 bin laden raid. While it was unclear how Kashmiri was
tracked, his name was on a list of militants that both countries recently agreed to
jointly target as part of measures to restore trust, officials have said. It also
would be a major victory for U.S. Intelligence, particularly the controversial CIA-run
drone program, which began in 2005 but has been increasingly criticized by the
Pakistanis amid rising Anti-American sentiment in the country.
Senior U.S. officials in Washington, Islamabad
and the Afghan capital, Kabul, said they could
not confirm that Kashmiri was killed. Other
Pakistani officials also said they couldn't
confirm it. Described by American officials as
al Qaeda's military operations chief in
Pakistan, the 47-year-old Pakistani was one of
five most-wanted militant leaders in the
country, accused of a string of bloody attacks
in Pakistan and India as well as aiding plots in
the west. He also has been named a defendant in
an American court over a planned attack on a
Danish newspaper that published cartoons Source: http://www.foxnews.com

SPAIN
Spain Arrests Anonymous Members Over Sony Attack
Spanish police alleged the three "hacktivists" helped organize an attack that
temporarily shuttered access to some Sony websites. They were not linked to two
massive cyber attacks against Sony's Playstation Network that resulted in the theft of
information from more than 100 million customers. Police also accused the men of
launching cyber assaults on Spanish banks BBVA and Bankia, and Italian energy group
Enel SpA. The arrests are the first in Spain against alleged members of Anonymous,
following the detention of others in the United States and Britain. Police told
Reuters all three men were Spanish and in their 30s. One worked in the merchant navy.
Anonymous is a loose grouping of self-proclaimed hactivists who frequently try to shut
down the websites of businesses and other organizations that it opposes. Its members
describe themselves as Internet freedom fighters and have previously brought down
websites of the Church of Scientology, as well as Amazon.com Inc, MasterCard Inc and
others they saw as hostile to WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. Anonymous
members cripple websites by overwhelming them with traffic in what is commonly known
as "denial of service" attacks.
The group publicizes these campaigns on the Web,
giving supporters the information to attack a
targeted site. The group is currently sponsoring
attacks to shut down Turkish government websites in a
protest against Internet censorship. Attempts to
reach the group by email were not immediately
successful. The Spanish police said members of
Anonymous, known for wearing Guy Fawkes masks made
popular by the graphic novel "V for Vendetta," had
also hacked government sites in Egypt, Algeria,
Libya, Iran, Chile, Colombia and New Zealand. Source: Reuters

SOMALIA
Militants Say Suicide Bomber was Somali-American
The militant group al-Shabab said the man who carried out a
suicide bomb attack on a base in Mogadishu was a Somali-American,
and an official said that separate clashes with militants in
Somalia's capital left at least 17 civilians dead. Al-Shabab said
on its website Thursday that a 25-year-old man named Abdullahi
Ahmed was the suicide bomber who attacked an African Union
peacekeeping base in Mogadishu, Somalia's capital, on Monday,
killing two AU troops and one government soldier. Ahmed was said
to have moved to Somalia from Minnesota two years ago.
The Internet report purported to quote Ahmed before his death saying that he wanted to
carry out the attack because of abuses by Christians of Muslim countries. If the
report is confirmed, Ahmed would become at least the third Somali-American to have
carried out a suicide bombing in Somalia. In Washington, U.S. Homeland Security
Secretary Janet Napolitano said the report was consistent with a growth in cases of
Americans who have become radicalized to commit such acts of violence. She confirmed
that there have been cases of Somali-Americans who have been recruited to fight in
Somalia, but declined to comment on whether that particular trend was accelerating.
Somali Islamic insurgents — some of whom have links to al-Qaida — have been recruiting
young Somali men in America and other countries amid fears that insurgents could use
the men to attack foreign targets. At least 20 Somali-Americans are believed to have
joined al-Shabab. U.S. authorities have warned that a Somali-American who seeks
training from al-Shabab could return to the United States to carry out an attack.

YEMEN
Al-Qaida Seizes Another Large City in Southeast Yemen
Al-Qaida's regional branch in Yemen took control over another large city in Yemen's
southeastern province of Shabwa on Wednesday, a week after they controlled the
southern Abyan province, local officials and residents said. "Following fierce battles
with government forces, fighters of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) managed
to seize the whole city of Azzan in the southeast province of Shabwa on Wednesday,
announcing that the city of Azzan joins in their Islamic emirate," one local official
told Xinhua. Some tribal leaders and residents confirmed the news in phone
conversations with Xinhua. The tribal leaders said the AQAP militants were enjoying
high- level activities nowadays because of the weak presence of security forces, which
were pulled out to major cities to curb the four- month-long anti-government protests
as well as to secure the government and foreign interests from sporadic riot acts.
Shabwa, some 458 km southeast to the capital Sanaa, is believed to be a stronghold of
hundreds of al-Qaida militants, including the wanted U.S.-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-
Awlaki. In the escalating unrest in Abyan, the gunmen of AQAP also took over Wadhiee
district on Wednesday, which is the ancestral homeland of Vice President Abdu Rabu
Mansour Hadi, another local official and residents said.
The AQAP declared Saturday to seize Zinjibar, the
provincial capital city of Abyan which is located about
480 km south of Sanaa, as the capital of their newly-
established Taliban-style Islamic emirate. Meanwhile, a
provincial government official in Shabwa told Xinhua that
the governor of Shabwa held a meeting with tribal
chieftains and dignitaries on Wednesday, during which they
signed an agreement for forming armed popular committees
to defend and protect the government facilities and
residential neighborhoods. Source: http://news.xinhuanet.com

ACROSS THE BORDER

10 Injured in Reynosa
Grenade Attack
At least 10 maquiladora employees were injured in a grenade attack in Reynosa Thursday

morning. The incident happened about 6:30 a.m. near the entrance of the LG Maquila at
an industrial park east of the city, said Alma Leticia Carranza Gomez, a spokesperson
for the Tamaulipas State Police. The industrial zone located near Reynosa‟s General
Lucio Blanco International Airport on Brecha E-99. Thirty employees were aboard a bus
that picks them up for work, which begins at 7 a.m., when they heard a loud noise
followed by the shattering of the bus‟ windows, Gomez said. “They didn‟t know where it
came from,” Gomez said in Spanish about the grenade. “All they did was ask the driver
to keep going.” The employees were initially treated for injuries at the maquila and
ten of them were later transported to an area hospital, she said. The most serious
injury was suffered by a man who had a piece of shattered glass in his right eye,
Gomez said, adding everyone was expected to survive the attack.
Investigators from Mexico‟s Ministry of

Defense — known by its Spanish acronym as
SEDENA — remained at the scene Thursday
afternoon as they searched for two other
grenades that had reportedly not
detonated, Gomez said. “It could‟ve been
worse,” she said.

Mexican Drug Gangs Building
Own Tanks As War Intensifies
Mexico's rival crime gangs are in an arms race, and the latest sign of that are the
homemade "Mad Max" type heavily armored vehicles they deploy to withstand fierce
clashes with each other. The army found two more "narco tanks" in Ciudad Camargo in
Tamaulipas state along the border with Texas. In earlier discoveries in April and May,
armored vehicles found by authorities contained swiveling turrets, snipers' peepholes
and gadgets to dump oil and scatter tire-puncturing nails on roadways. The latest
discovery showed that the gangs are upping their game. The two armored vehicles were
cloaked in inch-thick steel plating. Built on a three-axle truck bed with a heavily
armored cabin, the latest "narco tanks" are far larger than previous versions.

OFFICER SAFETY
Texas Deputy Killed at Traffic
Light
On May 28, 2011 at 0200 hours, Bexar County, Texas Sheriff‟s Deputy Sgt Kenneth Vann
was shot dead while stopped for a red light at an intersection in a marked patrol
vehicle. Witnesses indicate a small white car with several people pulled along the
right side of the patrol vehicle and shot two separate, quick bursts of automatic or
semi-automatic fire through the passenger window, striking the deputy multiple times.
Sgt Vann was responding to a non-emergency accidental shooting call when he was
killed, prompting initial assessments that the deputy had been ambushed. Bexar County
Deputy Chief Dale Bennett stated “He did not have a chance to do anything, hit the
emergency button on his radio, or even to defend himself. The car pulled up and
started blasting, just like that. So where we are right now is that it looks like an
ambush.” At least 100 local, state and federal officers, including Texas Rangers, ATF,
FBI, ICE and US Marshals are involved in the search for suspects.
Investigators are canvassing nearby

neighborhoods for any information about
possible suspects, and are reviewing
surveillance video from nearby two gas
stations, in an attempt to determine who was
there during the time of the shooting.
Investigators are also searching for a blue
pickup truck, possibly to identify
witnesses.

Cell Phone Case/Knife
Thanks to a Homeland Security Report reader, this month‟s Officer Safety item is a
cell phone case with a high grade stainless steel blade on the belt clip. While this
item is marketed online as an alternative backup weapon for Law Enforcement, both LE
and Security Professionals should be mindful of items like these when manning
inspection stations. Typically transportation and facility security checkpoints
utilize x-ray machines. Yet, when placed down with a phone in the case, it is
questionable whether the item would be detected. Law Enforcement and Security
Professionals should make a point to physically pick up items like these for a visual
inspection.
