Indonesian police say they are questioning two top members of the regional terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah. Suspects Abdul Rohim and Agus Purwanto were returned to Indonesia after being arrested several weeks ago in Malaysia. Terrorism expert Sidney Jones says Abdul Rohim is thought to have replaced Zarkasih as Jemaah Islamiyah leader (emir), after Zarkasih's arrest last year. "He was a member of the central command, he is rumored to possibly be the new emir, or the caretaker emir [of Jemaah Islamiyah] ... the last known position that he had was a head of education for the central command," Jones explained."This is big because it is two more influential people, with one in particular at the top ranks of Jemaah Islamiyah, meaning that the police have pretty clearly penetrated the structu

A former patient has been charged with the theft of a laptop from a VA hospital last November. If you’ll recall, the Indianapolis VA center found itself short of a laptop, two desktops, and assorted peripheral equipment. The items were stolen over Veterans Day weekend, ironically enough. One of the stolen computers contained information on nearly 12,000 veterans. The thief was identified from surveillance video recordings and has been apprehended; however, the laptop containing sensitive data has not been recovered.

Former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had a plan to suspend the rules against illegal detention and arrest up to 12,000 Americans he suspected of being disloyal, according to a newly declassified document. Hoover sent his plan to the White House on July 7, 1950, less than two weeks after the Korean War began. But there is no evidence to suggest that President Truman or any subsequent president approved any part of Hoover's proposal to house suspect Americans in military and federal prisons. Hoover had wanted Truman to declare the mass arrests necessary to protect the country against treason, espionage and sabotage, The New York Times reported Saturday in a story posted on its Web site. The plan called for the FBI to apprehend all potentially dangerous individuals whose names were on a

In the following press release Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez announced the first round of arrests warrants for criminals dealing in mortgage fraud schemes brought in 11 people this week with two suspects still at large. At a press conference this morning Mayor Alvarez presented the cases where these individuals are suspected of committing mortgage fraud. “Mortgage Fraud affects all of us as artificially inflated home values increase taxes making it unaffordable to live here,” said Mayor Alvarez. “On the flip side, when banks begin to foreclose on fraudulent mortgages and sell these properties far below their original value, the County’s tax base lowers. This may affect the level of services we are able to offer.” To combat the problem, Mayor Alvarez created a Mortgage Fraud Task Force. The Task Force pools together various agencies and resources for a joint effort against mortgage fraud. This includes the Miami-Dade Police Department, Miami-D

The Communist Party congress, held every five years, will set the agenda for the party and country for the next half-decade, and will likely include a reshuffling of some top leaders. It will also mark a renewal of party leader Hu Jintao's five-year tenure.

Security services clashed with Islamic fundamentalists as they stormed apartments in the Yemeni capital on Thursday to arrest suspects believed to have provided support to a suicide bomber who killed seven Spanish tourists, a security official said.
At least one fundamentalist _an Egyptian national_ was killed in the gunfight and two Yemeni armed forces were wounded, the Yemeni official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to talk to the media.
He said some 15 people were detained, including three alleged al-Qaida members suspected of having provided assistance to the group that undertook the attack on Monday. He did not specify what kind of support the men were accused of, but said authorities were still looking for three other suspects believed to have provided fire cover for the suicide bomber.

ATLANTA (AP) - At the world’s busiest airport, plainclothes officers patrolling public restrooms in search of luggage thieves have instead uncovered a rash of other, more sordid crimes.
The new restroom dragnet has led to the arrests of more than 30 people in three months for indecent exposure and public sex acts at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Airport restrooms apparently have become such popular meeting places for men looking for sexual trysts with other men that they have been suggested several times as meeting places in personal ads on the Web site Craigslist.

The new patrols were started to stop theft, not catch people in sex acts, police officials say.
Officers started monitoring the restrooms after figuring out that thieves were pulling bags off baggage-claim carousels and taking them into toilet stalls to comb through them.
“We’re trying to provide a safe environment for everyone at the airport,” said Officer Joseph Villafane
he Southeast Asian terror group Jemaah Islamiyah is well-organized and dangerous despite hundreds of arrests in recent years, national police said Friday, after seizing a cache of weapons and bomb-making manuals in central Indonesia.Six alleged militants from the network were captured this week, including a man identified as Mujadid, who has been accused of involvement in the deadly 2004 Australian Embassy bombings in the capital Jakarta, said spokesman Maj. Gen. Sisno Adiwinoto. Anti-terror police also seized more than a dozen weapons, explosives and bomb-making documents Friday from the home of Aman Suryanto, a seventh suspect who died on his way to the hospital following separate police raids on Java island, he said. "This group has a very good network with a very orderly working structure," Adiwinoto told reporters.
