THE INDEPENDENT: He said the likelihood of future wars had "sharply increased"
Russian President Vladimir Putin has accused the US of undermining global stability, and warned that the world will face new wars if Washington does not respect the interests of other nations.
During a speech in the Russian city of Sochi, the President argued that while Moscow does not see Washington as a threat US foreign policy has created chaos. Citing the wars in Iraq, Libya and Syria, he went on to accuse the US and its allies of “fighting against the results of its own policy”.
“They are throwing their might to remove the risks they have created themselves, and they are paying an increasing price,” Putin told political experts at the Black Sea resort.
“I think that the policies of the ruling elite are erroneous. I am convinced that they go against our interests, undermine trust in the United States,” he said without offering specific examples. » | Kashmira Gander | Friday, October 24, 2014

MPs 'Encouraged Hamas Terrorism' by Voting for Palestinian State Says Israel
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Israeli cabinet minister tells the Telegraph that a 'miserable' vote in the Commons rewarded Hamas
Parliament was guilty of “encouraging terrorist attacks” and “giving up” on peace when MPs cast a “miserable” vote in favour of Palestinian statehood, according to an Israeli cabinet minister.
Yuval Steinitz, the intelligence and strategic affairs minister, told the Telegraph that he was “surprised” and “frustrated” by the passage of a resolution through the Commons last Monday urging the Government to “recognise the state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel”.
This vote came soon after the summer war between Israel and Hamas, the radical Islamist movement, which claimed the lives of 71 Israelis and 2,189 Palestinians.
“It was a reward for this terrorist attack on Israel to make such a vote only two months after Israel was attacked with 4,000 rockets,” said Mr Steinitz. “Of course Israel responded and retaliated, but Israel came under attack for 50 days of fire of hundreds of rockets every day.”
Mr Steinitz pointed out that Hamas had been condemned by Arab leaders including Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority, who promised to fight for a state with “politics and wisdom” instead of rockets. » | David Blair, Chief Foreign Correspondent | Friday, October 24, 2014

New Terror Concerns after Ax Attack in New York City
Canada: Ottawa and Quebec Terror Attackers Followed Britain's Hate Preacher Anjem Choudary
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS TIMES: The two Muslim converts who carried out attacks against Canadian soldiers in Quebec and Ottawa shared a common interest in radical British hate preacher Anjem Choudary, according to reports.
The Twitter profiles of Martin 'Ahmad' Couture-Rouleau, a 25-year-old Muslim convert who was shot dead by police after he killed a Canadian soldier and injured a second near Montreal, and Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, who gunned down a soldier in Ottawa, showed they followed several Islamist preachers, including Choudary.
The preacher, who was recently arrested in London on suspicion of being member of British-based Islamic terrorist group Al-Muhajiroun, rejected any links with the Canadian assailants. » | Gianluca Mezzofiore | Thursday, October 23, 2014

Why Obama Won’t Declare Ottawa Shooting Terrorism
Canadian Parliament Attack: The Identical Terror Threat Facing Canada and Australia
THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD: Canada and Australia have both featured prominently in the Islamic State's online diatribes, in which the group urges its global followers to kill.
But the similarities don't end there.
They are both parliamentary democracies whose leaders have vocally and materially backed international action against the Islamic State, with small but devoted extremist networks at home and some dozens of citizens currently fighting with jihadist groups in the Middle East. They both have tight gun laws and have ramped up security at their parliaments and government buildings in response to the current heightened threat.
Foreign Minister Julie Bishop's response to the assault overnight on Canada's war memorial and parliament in Ottawa highlighted the likenesses.
"For quite some time, these murderous, brutal terrorist organisations have been speaking about attacks on those sorts of institutions and in those sorts of countries, including Canada, Australia, the United States, any country that opposes their ideology, any country that embraces freedom and tolerance," she told the ABC.

Ein Palast mit 1000 Zimmern für Erdogan
TAGES ANZEIGER: KommentarDer türkische Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan hat sich einen Palast der Superlative errichtet.
Das Weisse Haus in Washington hat 55'000 Quadratmeter, samt Kino und Kegelbahn. Im Buckingham-Palast in London verfügt die Queen über 78'000 Quadratmeter. Alles lächerlich wenig. Der türkische Präsident Recep Tayyip Erdogan kann nun in einem Palais repräsentieren, das 210'000 Quadratmeter und 1000 Zimmer umfasst. Es könnte den Amtssitz seines französischen Amtskollegen, den Elysée-Palast, fast 20-mal aufnehmen, wie türkische Medien vorrechnen. Nur die Wiener Hofburg ist noch ein wenig voluminöser. Abhörsichere Bunker, Tunnel, geschützt gegen Cyberangriffe und Chemiewaffen – das ist Erdogans Serail der Superlative. » | Von Christiane Schlötzer Tagesanzeiger.ch/Newsnet | Mittwoch, 22.

Rekrutierer des "Islamischen Staats" im Interview: "Demokratie ist etwas für Ungläubige"
Die Bedingungen des Islamisten sind streng: Kein Foto, keine Tonaufnahmen, seinen richtigen Namen verrät er sowieso nicht. Ebenso wenig, aus welchem Land er stammt, nur dass er Araber sei. Sein Englisch ist geschliffen, mit britischem Akzent.
Abu Sattar nennt er sich, ein etwa 30-jähriger Mann mit dichtem, schwarzem Vollbart, der ihm bis zur Brust reicht, die Haare über der Oberlippe wegrasiert, den Kopf kahlgeschoren. Er trägt ein schwarzes, bodenlanges Gewand. In einer ledernen schwarzen Aktentasche transportiert er einen in ein Tuch gewickelten Koran.
Abu Sattar rekrutiert in der Türkei Kämpfer für die Terrormiliz "Islamischer Staat" (IS). Er prüft die Gesinnung der Interessenten, die aus vielen Ländern der Welt in die Türkei reisen und von hier in den "Heiligen Krieg" in den Irak oder nach Syrien ziehen wollen. Mehrere IS-Anhänger haben ihn unabhängig voneinander als Gesprächspartner empfohlen. Als jemanden, der am besten erklären könne, wofür der IS stehe. Für viele sei er so etwas wie ein ideologisches Vorbild.
Nach einigem Zögern willigt Abu Sattar in ein Treffen ein. Er vereinbart einen Termin und verspricht, rechtzeitig einen Ort zu nennen. Aber dann lässt er die Verabredung platzen, nur um einen Tag später abermals ein Treffen auszumachen, am Morgen, an einem öffentlichen Platz. Diesmal taucht er tatsächlich auf: ein Mann mit braunen Augen hinter einer rahmenlosen Brille. Er wirkt selbstsicher und streitlustig, bestellt Tee und lässt während des Gesprächs eine Gebetskette mit Holzperlen durch seine Hände gleiten. zum Interview » | Hasnain Kazim | Donnerstag, 23.

Canadian Killer Was Recent Convert to Islam Identified as Terror Risk
Terror came to the heart of the Canadian capital Ottawa on Wednesday as a suspected jihadist gunman shot dead a soldier at the national war memorial and then rampaged through the halls of the federal parliament.
The attacker, who was killed in a gun battle inside parliament, was named as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian-born 32-year-old.
He was a recent convert to Islam from Quebec with a history of drug abuse and whose passport had been seized by authorities after he was designated a "high-risk traveller", Canadian media reported. » | Philip Sherwell, New York | Thursday, October 23, 2014
