North Korea - Nuclear Capacity Increased

Hwasong 6 (SCUD-C) tactical missile


韩称朝鲜已能组装核导弹 导弹或能威胁美国本土

South Korea says the North is already capable of setting up nuclear missiles.
Guided missiles could probably threaten U.S. territory.

参考消息网1月7日报道 外媒称，韩国国防部6日发布《2014年国防白皮书》，介绍朝鲜军队动向，为韩国军队提出发展方向。

据韩联社1月6日报道，《国防白皮书》就朝鲜的核能力首次添加了“朝鲜核武器小型化能力似乎已达到相当高的水平”的内容。白皮书还指出，朝鲜通过多次对乏燃料棒再处理，拥有了可以制造核武器的40多公斤的钚。国防部官员表示，没有情报显示朝鲜已实现可将核弹头搭载至导弹的核武小型化。

On January 7, the Network for Reference News quoted foreign media as saying that South Korea's defence ministry issued its "White Book on National Defence in 2014" where North Korean army trends are being introduced as an orientation for the development advanced by the South Korean army.

Based on a report from South Korea's united agencies on January 6, the "White Book on National Defence" deals with North Korea's first time increase of its nuclear capacity, comprising " North Korea's capacity to scale down nuclear weapons which seems to have already reached a considerably high level ". The White Book also refers to North Korea undergoing several times a lack of [reprocessed] fuel rods and its possession of more than 40 kg [self-]produced plutonium. An official from the national defence ministry indicated that there are no intelligence reports showing whether North Korea already realized the scaling down of nuclear weapons [to such a degree needed] for loading nuclear warheads into guided missiles.

韩国国防部还说，朝鲜通过一系列远程导弹测试，可能具备了研制能够危及美国本土的导弹的能力。

据彭博新闻社网站1月6日报道，韩国国防部称，朝鲜可能已经开发出了能够威胁到美国的弹道导弹，并建立了能够更快入侵韩国的渗透网络。

The South Korean defence ministry informed as well that North Korea is undergoing a series of long-range missile tests and is probably provided with the capability of developing a missile capacity that is sufficient to endanger U.S. territory.

A Bloomberg news report from January 6 quoted South Korea's defence ministry as saying that North Korea has probably already developed ballistic missiles that could sufficiently threaten the United States. At the same time it has built up an infiltration network to enable an even faster invasion of South Korea.

美媒评出朝鲜五大噩梦级武器：在韩国引爆核背包

U.S. media comment on North Korea's five big nightmare weapons :
Nuclear rucksacks detonating in South Korea.

The Chinese article is referring to what North Korea calls the " Five Big Nightmare Weapons ". It includes an evaluation of the country's military options and mentions dirty bombs as well as chemical weapons. This is going together with North Korea's striving for the ability to " deliver a nuclear blow on U.S. territory ".
As to the chemical weapons, it is accepted knowledge that North Korea owns one of the most extended stocks of chemicals, comprising about 2500-5000 tons of war grade material, thus making the country the No.3 owner of such weapons worldwide.

朝鲜的主要《大噩梦级武器》在威胁敌国：
第一种是“脏弹”。第二种武器为化学武器。
平壤拥有世界第三大规模的化学武器储存。
有西方的分析人士还强调： 朝鲜或许拥有
2500到5000吨化学武器战剂。
第三种武器就是可以“对美国进行核打击”。

The Face of ISIS

Last Update added on March 9, 2015



تسجيل صوتي لذبّاح داعش: أنا ليست متطرفاً

Sound record on ISIS killings : I am no extremist.

["Jihadi John" Emwazi in a meeting with some member of British intelligence
as quoted by Al-Arabiya. يتحدث عن لقاء جمعه مع رجل استخبارات بريطاني]

Today, 8th March 2015, the British Daily Mail published an article dedicated to Mohammed Emwazi who became known as " Jihadi John " and who is allegedly starring in some beheading video produced by his German brother in faith Denis Cuspert. Because of his terrorist videos, Denis Cuspert is being regarded as chief propagandist of ISIS and has been likened to nazi propaganda chief Goebbels. He originally became known as rapper " Deso Dogg " and is linked with another German, Marcel Schrodel, regarded by German intelligence as a violent jihadist. Cuspert and Schodel were supposedly radicalised by Mohammed Mahmoud, the Austrian-born leader of banned Islamist group Millatu Ibrahim.

Emwazi, Islamic convert Schrodl and Londoner Ali Adorus were finally stopped by the Tanzanian authorities at Dar es Salaam airport as they arrived for what they had claimed was an innocent safari holiday. The Daily Mail has established that the supposedly strict Muslims were held not because of their political affiliations, but due to their drunken and violent behaviour on a Dutch KLM flight from Amsterdam to Dar es Salaam, according to the Tanzanian government. Further informations on Schrodel and Adorus are given in the original article.

The quoted article contains additional photos of Emwazi and Cuspert that are not used in this blogspot.

IS英籍刽子手曾想自杀

British ISIS executioner has thought of suicide.

“有时候，我感觉自己就像一具行尸走肉。我不害怕他们会杀了我，而怕有一天，我会吞下安眠药让自己永远地睡去！我只想摆脱这些人！”

" Sometimes I feel like a moving corpse [losing flesh]. I'm not scared that they could kill me. But I fear that some day I might swallow sleeping pills sending me into eternal sleep. I only think to get free from these men. "

[Source: People's Network quoting Guang Zhou Daily 广州日报 on March 3, 2015]


Editor's Note:
The above quotation is referring to an email contact between Jihadi John and a British journalist in 2010, and is feeding assumptions that Emwazi was already paranoid before he left the United Kingdom. He is a Kuwaiti-born British citizen and was raised in Kensington, London, in an environment that brought about other violent jihadists. Emwazi is said to have received anger management therapy during his first year in secondary school.

Syria - Commander of Al-Nusra Front Killed

This morning, the death of a key figure within Syria's Al-Nusra Front (also known as: Jabhat al-Nusra جبهة النصرة) has been reported by Al-Arabiya. In their fight against the Assad regime, the Al-Nusra Front is considered to be affiliated to Al-Qaeda organization as represented by Ayman al-Zawahiri. At the same time, it is seen in opposition with the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), even though an ideological link between both organizations cannot be denied. However, it is still unclear who was behind the death of commander Abu Hamam.




من هو أبو همام القائد العسكري للنصرة الذي قتل بإدلب؟

Who is Abu Hamam, the military leader of Al-Nusra and who died in Idlib ?

قتِل، أمس الخميس، أبو همام الشامي القائد العسكري لـ"جبهة النصرة" وثلاثة من أعضاء "مجلس شورى الجبهة"، هم: أبو مصعب الفلسطيني وعمر الكردي وأبو البراء الأنصار، في انفجار لمقر الجبهة خلال اجتماع لقادة من الجبهة في بلدة سلقين بمحافظة إدلب.ـ

Yemen - Houthis Welcome Iran

طائرة إيرانية تحط بصنعاء والرئيس هادي يعترض

Iranian plane landing in Sana'a [earns] protest from president Hadi.

أكد الرئيس اليمني عبده ربه منصور هادي أن الاتفاق الذي وقع أمس السبت بين إيران والحوثيين على تسيير رحلات بين البلدين باطل وغير قانوني.ـ

The Yemeni president Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi confirmed that the treaty, signed yesterday on Saturday [Febr. 28] between Iran and the Houthis on the proceedings of travel between both countries, is both useless and illegal.

Editor's Note:
The Arabic article is referring to the landing of an Iranian passenger plane in Yemen's capital, carrying 12 tons of medical supplies as well as tents and Iranian Red Crescent aid workers, Iran's deputy ambassador Rasai Ebadi told Associated Press. Such effort is benefitting Houthy rule in Sana'a who had agreed to allow Iranian air traffic to the capital.
That decision is considered illegal by an opposing Yemeni government which has been only recently established in Aden, South Yemen. Their strongman Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, a former vice-president, took over from Yemen's first president Ali Abdullah Saleh who had fled the country in 2011 in the frame of an uprising. On 22 Jan. 2015, Hadi resigned himself as acting president of Yemen when the Houthis seized the presidential palace and placed him under virtual house arrest. A month later, he escaped to his hometown of Aden, rescinded his resignation, and denounced the Houthi takeover as an unconstitutional coup d'état. His assertion of legitimacy has been challenged by the Houthis, who named a Revolutionary Committee to assume the powers of the presidency, as well as the General People's Congress, Hadi's own political party. Now, Hadi is quoted as saying that his predecessor " Saleh conspired with Iran to undermine a power transfer deal " and which should have led to the actual situation [Source: Reuters].

Latest news from the same edition of Al-Arabiya are indicating support of Yemen's counter-government in Aden by all other countries of the Arabian peninsula. Saudi-Arabia and the Gulf States should be most interested in a stable Yemeni government, aligned to the region's official position towards Iran and controlling the steady flow of working force from Yemen into these countries:

الكويت والإمارات تنضمان إلى السعودية وقطر وتستأنفان عمل سفارتيهما في اليمن من عدن

Kuwait and the Emirates join Saudi-Arabia and Qatar and let their embassies in Yemen reassume work in Aden.

There is some ambiguity in the Chinese character leading to its translation

Egypt Worried about Iranian Influence

Update included later on February 13.



After their takeover of power in Yemen, the Houthis are being warned by Egypt's prime minister that his country would not allow Houthi control of the Almond Gate (Bab al-Mandeb) shipping passage in the Red Sea. The Bab-el-Mandeb strait is located between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula, and Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa. It connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and is an essential access to the Suez Canal in Egypt.



In a caricature, published by Mandab Press مندب برس and which seems to be a local Yemenite news service, the subject was already mentioned on February 2, 2015. That caricature shows a Houthi rolling out the red carpet for an Iranian ayatollah towards Bab al-Mandeb.

Iran's Position in Yemen's Turmoil

Important Update added on February 9

On February 6, 2015, BBC London reported about the takeover of power in Yemen by Houthi rebels who announced to dissolve parliament as well. The Houthis delivered their message from the Republican palace in Sanaa to a huge gathering of political, military and tribal figures in an effort to demonstrate the range of their support. The Saudis are on the alert in what they see as an Iranian-backed Shia takeover in a country where they are used to exert political influence.

One day later, Al-Arabiya, a TV station in the United Emirates came with the following headline:

محللون: دعم إيران مكّن الحوثيين من الصعود السريع

Analysts say Iran supported the stabilization of Houthis with rising speed.




Iranian readers at a Tehran newspaper stall. [Al-Arabiya February 7, 2015]

The Houthis are a Muslimic sect traditionally living in parts of Northern Yemen, including the Yemenite capital of Sanaa. In 2009, Al-Jazeera had already published a map on its Arabic website showing the region where that group of Zaidiyyah Shia-Muslims is concentrated. The Houthis are named after a former commander, who was reportedly killed by Yemenite army forces in September 2004. The group's religious orientation makes them a potential partner for the Islamic Republic of Iran which is dominated by Shia-Islam as well.

أبدت دول الخليج قلقها من تزايد النفوذ الإيراني في اليمن كما انتقدته واشنطن، وأعرب مجلس الأمن عن قلقه من تردي الأوضاع محذراً من فرض عقوبات في حال لم تستأنف المحادثات التي ترعاها الأمم المتحدة.ـ

Saudi Arabia's Gift for Europe

Position of King Abdulaziz Al-Saud Mosque in Marbella, Spain.

At the time when world leaders are gathering in Riyadh to mourn former Saudi King Abdulaziz Al-Saud, his follower King Salman proudly presents a rather tiny mosque erected in Spain and that should be seen as a sign of peace between the world of Islam and the West.

Andalusía in southern Spain, where in mediaeval times the mighty Caliphate of Cordoba left its architectural traces, seems to be the perfect region to establish a link to some modernized and peaceful Islam. This, however, might be seen by some parties as a provocation of Europe's rather secular communities where a rising militant Salafist movement has already triggered off much aggression among locals despite extended demonstrations in favour of religious tolerance. A steady growth of Islamic communities in most European countries has continually raised the fears of those who are now opposing the more tolerant mainstream in their countries.

Only to mention the population of France where Islamic influence has steadily increased during the last decades, due to immigration from former French colonies in Africa and from neighbouring territories (Algeria, Morocco, Mali, Chad etc), while the above mentioned historic background in southern Spain had already provided a certain amount of Muslim descendants long before legal and illegal immigration from North Africa started to build up a Muslimic population of 200.000 (by 1981). In contrast, the xenophobe movement "Pegida" in Germany and which came into being only recently can be seen as an answer to a long-standing and unrestricted Muslimic immigration, especially from Turkey and which has already entirely changed the appearance and population of certain urban areas. However, that German movement is obviously inferior to the numerous and more tolerant mainstream in most parts of the country.

Whether or not the Saudi present might turn out to be a Trojan Horse rather than a present of peace will become clear sooner or later. At least, it should be mentioned that Saudi Arabia's Wahabism is seen by some western experts as the expression of an orthodox and less tolerant variety of Islam and which should have much in common with the ideas of Salafism and the Jihadi warriors that a U.S. centred alliance is just fighting in Iraq and Syria.




الملك سلمان شيّد أول مسجد بإسبانيا منذ سقوط الأندلس

King Salman built the First Mosque in Spain since
the Fall of [Spain's Historic Caliphate in] Andalusia.

قبل 33 سنة، عاد الإسلام مجددا إلى الأندلس، ولأول مرة منذ طرد المسلمين بأكثر من 500 عام من هناك.. أعادهم ذلك الوقت سعودي كان أميرا للرياض، من دون أن يشن حربا أو يحرق سفنا أو يهرق دما، بل عبر مسجد بناه على نفقته في مدينة ماربيا الساحلية بأقصى الجنوب الأندلسي، المقابل للجانب الآخر من مضيق جبل طارق، حيث المغرب قريب 14 كيلومترا فقط.ـ

..... Modernized Islam returned to Andalusia and for the first time after more than 500 years since the expulsion of Muslims from there ..... at that very time returned to them a Saudi [who happens to be] Emir of Riyadh, without declaring a war or burning ships or spilling blood, and who even more erected a mosque at his expense in the coastal town of Marbella, in the extreme south of Andalusia and which is facing the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar where [Arabic] North Africa is only 14 km away.
