Mumbai Style Terror Attack in Kabul - 26 Dead Scores Injured Posted: 11 Feb 2009 11:11 PM PST Three closely coordinated attacks left 20 people dead and at least 54 wounded in the Afghan capital yesterday morning, after separate teams of gunmen and bombers targeted two downtown government ministries and a suburban corrections facility. The attacks created panic in the crowded city center until security forces were able to restore control after a four-hour battle. All eight attackers were also killed. A spokesman for the Islamic Taliban insurgency claimed responsibility for the attacks, telling the Associated Press they were in response to the poor treatment of prisoners in Afghan custody. But analysts said the audacious assaults seemed timed to test the resolve of Afghan and US officials as the Obama administration is debating a new strategy for Afghanistan, and just days before the arrival of the new US special envoy, Richard C. Holbrooke. The most dramatic scenes unfolded at the Ministry of Justice. Employees cowered in their locked offices as gunfire erupted, and crowds fled in the surrounding, traffic-clogged streets. Officials said five men armed with guns and suicide vests killed one guard at the entrance, then entered and began firing on guards and employees throughout the four-story building. Witnesses said some people jumped from the second and even third floors to escape. Although the death toll was much lower, many people here immediately compared the attack to the terrorist siege in the Indian city of Mumbai in November, when a highly trained squad entered the port city by boat and wreaked havoc for three days, attacking luxury hotels and other buildings and killing more than 170 people. Yesterday’s attack was the worst in Kabul since July, when a suicide bomber destroyed the Indian Embassy, killing more than 60 people. The Afghan capital has been increasingly targeted by Islamic insurgents, who have been waging war against the government in the Afghan countryside since 2006.

Report: Dirty Bomb Materials Found In Slain Mans Home Posted: 11 Feb 2009 10:56 PM PST James G. Cummings, who police say was shot to death by his wife two months ago, allegedly had a cache of radioactive materials in his home suitable for building a “dirty bomb.” According to an FBI field intelligence report from the Washington Regional Threat and Analysis Center posted online by WikiLeaks, an organization that posts leaked documents, an investigation into the case revealed that radioactive materials were removed from Cummings’ home after his shooting death on Dec. 9. The report posted on the WikiLeaks Web site states that “On 9 December 2008, radiological dispersal device components and literature, and radioactive materials, were discovered at the Maine residence of an identified deceased [person] James Cummings.” The section referring to Cummings can be read here. It says that four 1-gallon containers of 35 percent hydrogen peroxide, uranium, thorium, lithium metal, thermite, aluminum powder, beryllium, boron, black iron oxide and magnesium ribbon were found in the home. Also found was literature on how to build “dirty bombs” and information about cesium-137, strontium-90 and cobalt-60, radioactive materials. The FBI report also stated there was evidence linking James Cummings to white supremacist groups. This would seem to confirm observations by local tradesmen who worked at the Cummings home that he was an ardent admirer of Adolf Hitler and had a collection of Nazi memorabilia around the house, including a prominently displayed flag with swastika. Cummings claimed to have pieces of Hitler’s personal silverware and place settings, painter Mike Robbins said a few days after the shooting.
