NATO Carries Out Air Strikes Inside Pakistan
By ROD NORDLAND

-Coalition officials said the cross-border attacks fell within its rules of engagement because the insurgents had attacked them from across the border. The Associated Press reported that a third strike inside Pakistani territory was carried out by two NATO helicopters on Monday.

KABUL, Afghanistan: NATO forces in Afghanistan launched two airstrikes against Taliban insurgents on the Pakistani side of the border, killing more than 30 people, military spokesmen confirmed on Monday.

The airstrikes, which took place last Friday and Saturday, were unusual because they involved piloted aircraft rather than drones, which are more commonly used to attack insurgents on the Pakistani side of the border, and which are normally operated by the Central Intelligence Agency.

Spokesmen for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force initially denied any of its forces had launched the airstrikes, although they were confirmed by Afghan police officials.

On Monday, however, a statement from the international force confirmed the attacks and put the death toll at more than 30. Initially, a base close to the border in Khost Province, known as Combat Outpost Narizah, came under fire from insurgents on Friday. When what the military described as an "air weapons team" responded, they came under fire from the insurgents on the Pakistani side of the frontier and returned fire, killing at least 30.

When two helicopters from the international force returned to the area the next day, they were fired on again from the Pakistani side of the border, and again returned fire, killing several more insurgents, spokesmen said.

The Khost Provincial Police Chief, Gen. Abdul Hakim Isahqzai, put the death toll among the insurgents at 82 or higher. There have been no complaints of civilian casualties.

Coalition officials said the cross-border attacks fell within its rules of engagement because the insurgents had attacked them from across the border. The Associated Press reported that a third strike inside Pakistani territory was carried out by two NATO helicopters on Monday. Pakistani intelligence officials told The A.P. that the attack killed five militants and wounded nine others.

Farooq Jan Mangal contributed reporting from Khost Province, Afghanistan.

2.: Yahoo Threatens Email Forwarding To Protect NATO

Yahoo threatens email forwarding to protect Nato
Written by Kazi Mahmood

It appears that Yahoo, the popular email service provider, is combatting anti-Nato movements by threatening to close email accounts of anyone who is found responsible for simply forwarding an email to a group or any individual.

In a personal letter to Wfol.tv, Rick Rozoff of the Stop Nato group based in the US explained that his Yahoo group called Stop Nato, which is a collection of articles worldwide on the activities of the Western military organization Nato, said he is being victimized.

Rozoff expressed fears that the very future of two individuals exchanging news in emails could be prevented by Yahoo.

This could happen if any news group or organization presses Yahoo to take action against specific movements. Rozoff said: "My appreciation for your posting the material on the joint Military Times/Yahoo threats to Stop NATO. If they get away with something like this they can create a precedent for preventing any two individuals from emailing any news item anywhere in the world."

Indeed this would be a very dangerous precedent as it would stop the dissemination of information among friends and between groups and other organzations.

"If I copy and paste an article on any topic - say, gardening - and you forward it to another person and down the line somewhere it is sent to an email group - Yahoo tells me they can cancel my ID, which is to say my email address, the one I use to set up and moderate groups. They then de facto shut down all groups I moderate." Rozoff added.

"By the way, neither Military Times nor Yahoo wrote to me at the email address I used to set up and use to moderate Stop NATO; they wrote to me at another, one I usually use to post items." he said.

Wfol.tv posted an article outsourced from Rozoff's Yahoo group, Stop Nato, which is a series of email exchanges between the 'Military Times' group, Yahoo and Rick Rozoff. The article can be read here: Military Times and Yahoo: http://www.wfol.tv/stop-nato/5355-military-times-group-attempt-to-halt-stop-nato-chicago.html

Rasmussen, who announced about the planned visit last week, will meet with President Saakashvili and Parliamentary Chairman Davit Bakradze. He will also participate in a ceremony of opening NATO liaison office in Tbilisi on October 1, Nino Kalandadze, the Georgian deputy foreign minister, said on September 27.

Situation in Georgia's breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia was among the issues discussed during the NATO-Russia foreign ministerial meeting in New York on September 22 in the context of conventional arms control in Europe.

NATO secretary general to visit Georgia this week

Tbilisi: NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen will pay an official visit to Georgia on Thursday to discuss cooperation issues, Georgian deputy foreign minister Nino Kalandadze said on Monday.

Rasmussen is due to meet with President Mikheil Saakashvili, Prime Minister
Nikoloz Gilauri, Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze and parliamentary speaker
David Bakradze.

Talks will focus on issues of bilateral interest which emerged during the
meeting of the NATO-Georgia Commission (NGC) held in June, Kalandadze said.

NATO and Georgia established the commission in September 2008, to oversee the organization's assistance to Georgia following the August conflict between Tbilisi and Moscow over South Ossetia, and to oversee Georgia's drive to join the military alliance.

"It is important that...we will have an opportunity to formalize all those
tricky and important issues with the secretary general," she said, adding that accession to NATO remains a priority in her country's foreign policy.

Georgia has long been pursuing NATO membership, but its bid was turned down due to pressure from Germany and France at a 2008 NATO summit in Bucharest. However, NATO has stated that the country will join at an unspecified date in the future.

4.: Russia, China Coordinate Efforts In International Arena

Posted by: "Rick Rozoff" rwrozoff@yahoo.com rwrozoff

Russia Today
September 27, 2010

Moscow, Beijing co-ordinate efforts on international arena
Sergey Borisov

-The most important direction of the strategic partnership is co-operation on the international arena, the aide noted. It is aimed at "consolidating multi-polarity and the formation of a new democratic world order, based on collective approaches, equality, generally recognized norms and principles of international law."

The intensity of contacts between the Russian and Chinese leadership meets "the interests of strategic partnership," President Dmitry Medvedev has said.

"This is our fifth contact this year," the president said at a meeting with Chinese leader Hu Jintao on Monday. The contacts will continue as they meet the interests of both countries, the Russian president added.

Hu Jintao responded by saying Medvedev's visit would have a powerful impact on the development of Russian-Chinese relations. The previous visit by the Russian president to China took place in May 2008.

In Beijing, Medvedev and Hu are discussing a number of international issues, including the situation on the Korean Peninsula and around the Iranian nuclear program.

Moscow and Beijing seek co-ordination of the stands on the peninsula problem, as it has escalated recently, the Russian president's aide Sergey Prikhodko told Itar-Tass news agency.

The two countries will also actively co-operate on the problems connected with the Iranian nuclear issue. Russian and China want the implementation of UN Security Council resolutions to be "aimed at returning the Iranian side to the fruitful co-operation with the world community and the IAEA," the presidential aide stressed.

China is one of Russia's most active partners in ensuring strategic stability, Prikhodko noted. According to him, the leaders will sign a joint statement on all-round strengthening of Russian-Chinese relations of partnership and strategic cooperation together with other political documents.

The most important direction of the strategic partnership is co-operation on the international arena, the aide noted. It is aimed at "consolidating multi-polarity and the formation of a new democratic world order, based on collective approaches, equality, generally recognized norms and principles of international law," Prikhodko told the agency.

The Russian and Chinese leaders will sign an agreement on co-operation in the struggle against terrorism, extremism and separatism. Several agreements were also signed in the energy sphere during Medvedev's visit.

US seeks 1,000 more Afghan trainers: general

WASHINGTON — The top US military official in charge of training Afghan troops says he will ask allied leaders Monday for 1,000 additional specialized trainers in a bid to bolster security forces.

Lieutenant General William Caldwell said the trainers were key to speeding up the buildup of Afghan police and army....

"If we do not get the trainers we need, transition will be delayed," Caldwell told The Wall Street Journal.
....
"The specialized training in the months to come is going to be much more challenging and require a higher degree of education," he said, adding that he would ask allies for pilots to train Afghanistan's air force, doctors to train medics and European gendarmes to oversee police forces.

As part of his efforts to develop 15 different capabilities, he also plans to ask NATO to dispatch specialized military officers to help Afghanistan develop better intelligence analysis, logistics and equipment maintenance.

The move is part an effort by US and other allied officers to overhaul the once-beleaguered training effort.

7.: Fw: Keep Space for Peace Week Events Planned Worldwide

Posted by: "Rick Rozoff" rwrozoff@yahoo.com rwrozoff

Mon Sep 27, 2010 3:33 pm (PDT)

From: Global Network <globalnet@mindspring.com>
Subject: Keep Space for Peace Week Events Planned Worldwide
To: "Peaceworks" <peaceworks@lists.riseup.net>
Date: Monday, September 27, 2010, 10:57 AM

KEEP SPACE FOR PEACE WEEK

EVENTS PLANNED WORLDWIDE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTACT: Bruce Gagnon (207) 443-9502
globalnet@mindspring.com

On October 2-9 a week of local protest events to Keep Space for Peace will be held worldwide.

Each fall the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space organizes Keep Space for Peace Week: International Days of Protest to Stop the Militarization of Space. These events are intended to help educate the public about the need to prevent the arms race from moving into the heavens.

According to Global Network Coordinator Bruce Gagnon, "The space week protests represent the largest global grassroots expression against moving the arms race into space. This year we are highlighting the planned Obama administration 'missile defense' deployments in Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan that will be used to help the U.S. and NATO to militarily surround Russia and China. These deployments, while sold as defensive measures, are in fact key elements in the creation of U.S. first-strike attack systems. Their deployment will ensure a new arms race."

Global Network board member Makiko Sato in Japan says, "The transformation and relocation of U.S. forces in our region has turned out to entail those of Japanese Self Defense Forces, with Patriot Missile Defense (PAC-3) systems being deployed on Japan's soil, and with Aegis warships (outfitted with missile defense) in our waters, both aimed at the neighboring Asian countries. To where is Japan being taken, away from and in distrust of our historical and cultural brother countries in East Asia?"

The October 2-9 actions are being co-sponsored by the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom and the International Network for the Abolition of Foreign Military Bases. Protests are expected at city centers and key space related factories and military bases. Educational forums will be held and space videos would be shown throughout the week.

8a.: NATO Adopts Lockheed System For MEADS Missile Interception Role

NATO approves Lockheed air defense system

ORLANDO, Fla. - Lockheed Martin's Medium Extended Air Defense System battle management system has passed interoperability tests with NATO's Air Command and Control System.

The tests demonstrating MEADS' compatibility with NATO's MEADS were conducted during a Joint Project Optic Windmill evaluation in July, the company reported Monday.

The compatibility evaluation utilized the Active Layer Theater Ballistic Missile Defense Integration Test Bed being developed by NATO. NATO's ALTBMD program is structured to design theater-wide missile defense ABM systems that will include MEADS as a key component.

Lockheed Martin designed MEADS to be compatible with a wide range of platforms and command and control structures.

Commenting on the successful evaluation MEADS International President Steve Barnoske remarked, "Joint Project Optic Wind was an early opportunity to prove out the interoperability of the MEADS battle management architecture and its ability to serve as the integrating element for an air and missile defense task force. Open, modular software gives MEADS great flexibility to accommodate additional requirements."

PESHAWAR: NATO helicopter gunships attacked alleged militants in Matta Sangar area of upper Kurram agency.

According to sources, the Maqbal tribe lived in the area. Nato has also shelled the area before.

A Nato check post is located in the adjacent area in Afghanistan. Sources say that the check post was attacked by militants from the Pakistani side, therefore Nato attacked the area in response.

The Matta Sangar area is located at 12 kilometers west from Parachinar.

Another NATO airstrike in Pakistan, five killed

* Two NATO helicopters attack Mata Sangar area of Kurram

By Abdul Saboor Khan

HANGU/BRUSSELS: At least five people were killed and nine others injured when NATO helicopters once again crossed Pakistani borders and pounded Kurram Agency, political administration and security sources said.

Security sources told the Daily Times that two NATO helicopters violated the Pakistani border and shelled the Mata Sangar area of Kurram Agency at 5am. The political administration confirmed the killing of five people from the Maqbal tribe.

Locals said that NATO choppers entered up to three kilometres into Pakistani territory and attacked the area. The Maqbal tribe strongly protested the incident and demanded the federal government take the matter up with NATO forces immediately.

An Afghan police commander reportedly confirmed that NATO helicopters had trespassed the border and attacked in the Kurram Agency area.

Meanwhile, in response to Pakistan's protest over the airstrikes, a NATO official said NATO's troops operating in Afghanistan have a right to self-defence. "ISAF forces must and will retain the authority, within their mandate, to defend themselves in carrying out their mission," he said.
