Al-Qaeda Prepares Terrorist Attacks In Russia Posted: 17 Apr 2009 03:10 PM PDT
Russian special services disclosed monstrous designs of international terrorist network al-Qaeda. The organization intended to conduct a series of terrorist attacks in Russia during the celebration of the Orthodox Easter. Terrorists planned to explode a building of the Federal Security Bureau in Moscow, a building of an aircraft-making association and a tan-yard in Kazan. They also left no chances to the terrorists. Eight al-Qaeda members have made their way to Kazan using fake passports. Three of the terrorists are Russians. “They originally were given Indian passports, but they later decided to issue Azeri passports for them, because it is always easy for guest-workers to remain inconspicuous,” an official said. The special services have obtained the verbal descriptions of all the three suspects. The first one of them, Mohammad Yunus bin Mussa is a 35-year-old red-haired well-built male.
“The terrorists planned to use car bombs in their subversive activities. The Russian services have obtained the numbers of those wheeled bombs,” an official said.

Toronto Man Plotted To Send Iran Nuclear Technology Posted: 17 Apr 2009 03:03 PM PDT
A Toronto man has been arrested for allegedly attempting to export nuclear technology to Iran. Mahmoud Yadegari appeared in court Friday morning to face federal customs charges, but he may face additional charges for violating a United Nations embargo. Yadegari attempted to “procure and export” pressure transducers used in the production of enriched uranium, the RCMP said in a statement. While enriched uranium is used to produce nuclear fuel, it is also a component of nuclear weapons. The UN Security Council banned exports of nuclear-related technology to Iran in 2006 because of its alleged efforts to build nuclear weapons. Yadegari was allegedly purchasing the materials in the United States and sending them through the United Arab Emirates to Iran, said RCMP Sgt. Marc Laporte. “The product was being exported through Dubai and then we’re alleging that the end destination was going to be Iran,” he said. The charges followed an “extensive investigation” involving RCMP, Canada Border Services Agency, the Department of Foreign Affairs and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Service. “ICE is involved because the product originated in the U.S. and was being brought into Canada,” Laporte said.
