THE German chancellor, Angela Merkel, compared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran to Adolf Hitler yesterday as Tehran vowed to resume the enrichment of uranium which could be used to make nuclear weapons.
Amid growing fears that the Iranians are intent on acquiring an “Islamic bomb”, Merkel warned that the world must not repeat the mistakes it made in appeasing the Nazis.

MUNICH, Germany (AP) - Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld urged America's allies to increase their military spending to prevent the rise of a "global extremist Islamic empire."
He also urged the world to work for a "diplomatic solution" to halt Iran's nuclear program.
"The Iranian regime is today the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism," he said in prepared remarks. "The world does not want, and must work together to prevent, a nuclear Iran."

Iran has formed a top secret team of nuclear specialists to infiltrate the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, the UN-sponsored body that monitors its nuclear programme, The Daily Telegraph has been told.
Its target is the IAEA's safeguards division and its aim is to obtain information on the work of IAEA inspectors so that Iran can conceal the more sensitive areas of its nuclear research, according to information recently received by western intelligence.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- British troops launched a
crackdown Tuesday on Basra's troubled police, arresting several
officers in a force long believed infiltrated by extremist Shiite
militiamen with ties to neighboring Iran.
Curbing militia power is considered crucial to building trust among
Iraq's rival communities and establishing government authority, but
finding a way to do it has proven elusive.

 Saeed Emami (a.k.a. Saeed Eslami or Shamshiri) was born in
Shiraz, central Iran, as Daniyal Ghavami in an Iranian Jewish family.
He spent several years in the United States pursuing his studies in
Mechanical Engineering. After completing his higher education, he
worked at the Iranian Interests Section in the Pakistan Embassy in
Washington, D.C. for one year and at Iran's mission to the United
Nations for another year. At that time he was recruited by Iranian
intelligence and after his return to Iran he went directly to the
Ministry of Intelligence.
When Mohammad Mohammadi Reyshahri was serving as the Minister of
Intelligence, Saeed Hajjarian, the Director General of the Intelligence
Ministry voiced opposition to the appointment of Saeed Emami to key
posts at the ministry because of his family records.

Of all the confusions surrounding the war in Iraq, perhaps none has
clouded so many minds as the phony question, "are we fighting domestic
insurgents or foreign terrorists?" The people who purport to answer
this question with "data," should look again at the demographics of
Iraq, Syria, and Iran, and they can start by asking themselves, "who's
an Iraqi"?

 Iran Focus – Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told
a crowd of theological students in the holy city of Qom on Thursday
that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon “has joined his ancestors and
others will soon follow suit”, according to the state-run Mehr news
agency.
“The Butcher of Sabra and Shatila has joined his ancestors and others
will soon follow suit”, Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. The same
report appeared on the website Khedmat, which is run by members of the
Iranian president’s entourage.
Ahmadinejad’s announcement of the death of the Israeli Prime Minister
comes at a time when Sharon was reportedly fighting for his life on
Thursday after a massive brain stroke.
