Reports: Russia detains alleged spy working for Georgia

   Russia's security service said agents detained a spy allegedly recruited by Georgia to support insurgents in the restive North Caucasus, news agencies reported Friday, adding to escalating tension between the ex-Soviet republics.
   A Georgian official denied the allegation and called it part of a Russian «policy of provocation» aimed at Georgia, which is the focus of a struggle for regional influence between Moscow and the West.
   Russia's relations with Georgia are badly strained as the small country's U.S.-allied leader courts the West. Tensions have increased sharply lately over Russia's increasing support for Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia province...An unidentified Russian Federal Security Service official identified the alleged agent as Ramzan Turkoshvili, a Georgian-born Russian citizen…..(AP)

Counterterrorism & War of Ideas News

Osama bin Laden Talks about liberating Palestinian land Bin Laden: Palestinian Cause Prompted 9/11

…The 9:40-minute audio by bin Laden showed an old photo of his face over a brown graphic and included the title, "A Message to the Peoples of the West: From Sheik Osama bin Laden," with the subheading: “The Reasons for the Struggle on the 60th Anniversary of the Creation of the Occupation State of Israel.”

   Bin Laden began his message by telling listeners that the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has always been the primary cause for friction between the West and the Muslim world - a struggle which he said was getting more difficult due to European policies biased in Israel's favor.
   "The Palestinian cause has been the main factor that, since my early childhood, fueled my desire, and that of the 19 freemen (Sept. 11 bombers), to stand by the oppressed, and punish the oppressive Jews and their allies," the al Qaeda chief said.
   "We shall continue the fight, Allah willing, against the Israelis and their allies, in order to pursue justice for the oppressed, and we shall not give up one inch of Palestine, as long as there is still a single true Muslim alive."….(CBS)

Willful Blindness: Memoir of the Jihad by Andrew McCarthy

From his perch as a government prosecutor of the blind sheik and other jihadists responsible for the bombing, McCarthy takes readers back to the real beginning of the war on terror--not the atrocities of September 11, but the first bombing of the World Trade Center in February 1993 when radical Islamists effectively declared war on the United States.
