The attack by a cadre of Islamist Al Shabaab gunmen on the Israeli-owned Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi has focused attention, once again, on American and British links to Muslim terrorist groups, from Al Nusra Front and Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists fighting the Bashar al Assad government in Syria to the Somali government of Hussein Sheik Mohamed, a Muslim Brotherhood sympathizer in a country where Al Shabaab has its political and religious roots . . .

(WMR)—National Security Agency (NSA) director General Keith Alexander who, as commander of the US Army Intelligence Security Command, wowed visitors to his Information Dominance Center at Fort Belvoir with a Captain Kirk chair, bridge of the starship “Enterprise,” and doors that made “whooshing” sounds, is now trying to claim credit for preventing terrorist attacks in the United States. Alexander is under intense congressional pressure that may scale back NSA’s current “collect it all” signals intelligence capture policy. Continue reading

Despite claims by members of the Senate Intelligence Committee that they are barred from publicly exposing dragnet surveillance practices at the National Security Agency, a closer look at Senate rules shows that the group actually has it in their power to actively push for greater transparency.

The actions by the three cooperative nations’ intelligence agencies are aimed at limiting Chinese influence here. The strategy in the mountainous area of the Sino-Indian border complements other U.S. strategies now being played out in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, the South China Sea, the South Pacific, and the Indian Ocean to box in China and prevent it from challenging America’s military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.

On Friday, up to 35 million Egyptians responded with their feet to the request of Defence Minister Abdul Fatah Al Sisi for a mandate to tackle “violence and terrorism.” The turnout was a message to Muslim Brotherhood supporters, camped out in Rabaa Adawiya Square, that they could no longer hold the nation’s capital hostage.
