BAGHDAD, Iraq - Security forces are closing in on the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, a senior Iraqi official said Sunday, showing a captured video of the terror chief teaching followers how to build a car bomb.

(They are trying to clean their house of these "terror-people" and those that support them. Talibani stated that a "warning" was issued to Iran, Syria, and whoever tries to interfere with Iraq's Independence and Growth!)

Baghdad returns to normal after day-long curfew
[15:13 , 01 Oct 2006]
BAGHDAD (Reuters)

.:: Peyamner Daily NEWS::.
pna - A nervous normality returned to Iraq's capital on Sunday after a 24-hour curfew imposed after U.S. troops arrested a top politician's bodyguard suspected of a plot to bomb the heavily fortified government compound.

The curfew was lifted at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT) and traffic converged on central Baghdad's busy streets as shops and businesses re-opened for the start of the full working week.

Though there is a daily overnight curfew and cars are banned during weekly prayers on Fridays, Saturday's blanket ban on all movement, even on foot, was unusually severe and disrupted the social life normally associated with the holy month of Ramadan.

Just west of Baghdad, in the minority Sunni stronghold of Falluja, a car bomb killed four people and wounded six in a busy vegetable market, police said.

On Friday, U.S. troops arrested a security guard at the home of the leader of the main Sunni Arab political bloc, Adnan al-Dulaimi. They said the man planned suicide attacks in the government's "Green Zone" and may have had links to al Qaeda.

"The detained individual is suspected of involvement in the planning of a multi-vehicle suicide operation inside Baghdad's International Zone," the military said on Saturday.

A senior official in the Accordance Front named the arrested man as Khudhar Farhan and said he was in his mid-20s and had joined Dulaimi's security staff about a month ago. Dulaimi leads the Front, the largest Sunni bloc in parliament.

U.S. officials fear an increase in violence during Ramadan. Suicide bombings were at an all-time high during the first week.

NO OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

There was no official explanation for the curfew which emptied streets on Saturday but a political source said it was linked to security in the Green Zone that had been compromised. Another senior official said Baghdad feared large-scale unrest.

The 5-sq km (2-sq mile) riverside compound once occupied by Saddam Hussein is home to thousands of people, including most senior officials, parliament and the U.S. and British embassies.

In March, Iraq jailed several defense officials accused of a plot to infiltrate hundreds of al Qaeda fighters into the Zone's security force.

A surge in sectarian killings since February has been marked by dozens of corpses being found nearly every day dumped in the streets of Baghdad, bound, tortured and shot. Many are victims of tit-for-tat communal fighting.

One senior U.S. military official said this week police had allowed death squads to re-enter areas already cleared by U.S. forces in a seven-week-old crackdown in the capital.

Washington's ambassador to Iraq threatened to cut off funding for the Iraqi police if the government failed to punish police officials for torture and human rights violations.

Zalmay Khalilzad told the New York Times that U.S. officials were reviewing programs under a law that bans U.S. funding for armies and police forces that violate human rights.

China had told US about plan to revalue yuan

July 25, 2005 18:32 IST


The Chinese government told United States officials in advance of its plan to drop its currency's link to the dollar last week and raise its exchange rate, news reports said Monday.

US treasury secretary John Snow learned more than one month ago of the tentative plan and Chinese officials gave him details on the change and its timing before the announcement, The Financial Times and The Asian Wall Street Journal said.

The unusual advance disclosures by the secretive Chinese government helped to smooth the way for the change and assure American support, the newspapers said, citing unidentified sources.

The announcement that Beijing was switching to a more flexible system based on a basket of foreign currencies that could let the yuan rise in value over time came after years of study by Chinese finance officials and a lengthy lobbying campaign by Snow and other American officials.

China's trading partners had been pressuring Beijing to raise the yuan's exchange rate, complaining that it was undervalued and gave Chinese exporters an unfair advantage. Some US lawmakers had even threatened to impose punitive tariffs if Beijing didn't raise the value of the yuan.

"A week before Thursday's announcement, the (US) Treasury received a firm signal from China that revaluation was imminent. Mr Snow was informed in advance of the timing and details of the new rate regime," the Financial Times said.

"He kept the market-sensitive information secret from Treasury colleagues but assured Beijing the US would warmly welcome the move and that there would be broad international support," the report said.

Snow assured Beijing of US support and persuaded lawmakers to postpone any punitive action after China said it wouldn't do anything under pressure, the Financial Times and the Journal said.

In mid-July, Senator Charles Schumer said he and other lawmakers were told during a meeting with Snow and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan that China would soon change its currency policy, and that he would delay a bill he had co-authored that would impose penalty tariffs on Chinese imports if Beijing did not act quickly.

The People's Bank of China announced Thursday it was cutting the yuan's peg to the dollar and would start linking its value to a collection of unspecified currencies. The bank immediately raised the yuan's value by 2.1 percent against the US dollar to 8.11 yuan from 8.28, where it had been set for more than a decade.
The Chinese central bank wanted the yuan's value raised by 5 percent, the Journal said. But the Chinese Cabinet decided on the lower increase "under pressure from other ministries that feared the impact on China's exports," the report said.

Chinese officials had been studying other governments' foreign-exchange policies for years.

Last year, they stepped up visits to Singapore to look at the Southeast Asian trading powerhouse's use of a "managed floating exchange-rate system," the type of mechanism that Beijing adopted last week, the Journal said.

In May, Snow appointed a special envoy to Beijing on the currency issue, the Journal said.

The envoy, US Treasury official Olin Wethington, made three unpublicized, weeklong trips to Beijing, where he warned Chinese leaders of potential "adverse consequences on the US side" if they didn't take action, the newspaper said.

Let's not be so quick to overlook the positives here folks.

The biggest:

Today's rate from CBI is 1472. That's the lowest it's been in what, 6 months or so? And the current trend in DOWN (Meaning UP for us ).

Then there is:

Loads of positive information coming out of Iraq, both security-wise and economically.

A sense of global unity in the success of Iraq. How long has it been since you heard such a collective number of countries stepping up to help out, beyond peacekeeping?

Ramadan in effect. The entire Muslim community is celebrating (That's right, CELEBRATING) the holy month of Ramadan. A time for peace and reflection. Ironically this puts a spotlight on those who aren't participating in Ramadan by blowing themselves up and ignoring Ramadan and the Muslim principal ideals. Makes them easier to find this month.


And the most important positive here? You guys! All of us are here to keep tabs on our investment, and collectively we are putting it all together. Although we can't force anything to happen, I'm certain we will be the first to know when anything DOES happen!

So keep up the good work and who knows, things may happen when you least expect it

Stating a rumour as a fact as if it had happened already and just waiting for an announcement sure bumped up hopes to great highs. No one is questioning the good intentions of those who post what they hear or learn from others. Unfortunately, due to human nature and personal circumstances, some choose to believe in these dates and "done deals" as the gospel. We can't really have a go at them for dreaming prematurely.

The bottomline is : despite the sources and tons of information being posted by well-read individuals, I don't think anyone actually knows when the revalue might happen, if at all. Most, if not all, are based on assumptions and putting 2 and 2 together. The only people who might be privy to such confidential information wiould probably never leak such information knowing fully well that it would form part of a public domain. Their jobs and lives would be in jeopardy.

It's time to take a breather and let events take their course. Don't lay too much emphasis on dates put forth by others. Whilst their intentions might be good, it's nigh on impossible to actually predict a date for the dinar revalue. It will happen when it will. In my case atleast, when times are desperate, one does lay a lot of emphasis on these dates only to be disappointed at the end.

Here's hoping that the dinar will revalue at some point in the near future rather than drag its heels.

Thanks for the level head reasoning and for being a leader on the side of PATIENCE.

If I had not jumped onto this rollercoaster back on Dec. 3rd, 2005 and, if I was just informed today by someone that I may--quite realistically--be on the verge of becoming a multi-millionaire...BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR!!! I would be so overwhelmed that I would need to grab my blood pressure medicine and keep it in my pocket 24/7 -along with a small bottle of aspirin.

Just for the sake of self preservation I've been telling myself that it won't happen until say uhmmmm next March...Yeah, I think my heart & head can maybe get a grip on that...

All in all it might be best to just step back a while and think...really get a perspective on this....WHAT AN UNBELIEVEABLE OPPORTUNITY THIS IS THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED IN OUR LAPS!!. I want to express a big THANK YOU a thousand times to everyone that's hard at work researching all of this difficult information!!
