Pentagon said to eye nuclear attack against terrorists
WASHINGTON (Kyodo) The Defense Department has recommended to President George W. Bush the use of tactical nuclear weapons as a military option to retaliate for last week's terrorist attacks in the United States, diplomatic sources said Tuesday.
It is unknown whether Bush has made any decision. Military analysts said the president is unlikely to opt for the use of nuclear weapons because doing so would generate a backlash from the international community and could even trigger revenge from the enemy involving weapons of mass destruction.
However, the Pentagon's suggestion shows the determination of U.S. officials to retaliate for the first massive terrorist attacks on the U.S. mainland, the analysts said.
The recommendation appears intended to deter terrorists, they said.
On ABC television's "This Week" program Sunday, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld refused to rule out the use of tactical nuclear weapons. Rumsfeld, who is notoriously tight-lipped with the press, avoided answering a question on whether their use could be ruled out. To a similar question, a Pentagon official also replied, "We will not discuss operational and intelligence matters."
The diplomatic sources said the Pentagon recommended using tactical nuclear weapons shortly after it became known that the terrorist attacks caused an unprecedented number of civilian casualties.Tactical nuclear weapons have been developed to attack very specific targets. The military analysts said Pentagon officials are apparently thinking of using weapons that can reach and destroy terrorists hiding in an underground shelter, limiting damage to surrounding areas

Klimaj doubts missile strikes or carpet-bombing will do the job in Afghanistan, where the terrain is so rugged, and soldiers so dug in, that the invading Soviet army eventually gave up and retreated. In 1998, U.S. forces pumped some 60 Tomahawk cruise missiles into Osama bin Laden's terrorist training camps in Khost, Afghanistan, and they didn't touch bin Laden.
Enter the "n"-word. Klimaj thinks, regrettably, that the U.S. may have to resort to using low-grade tactical nuclear weapons this time.
"I don't think the conventional weapons will work," he said. "I think we may have to use little nukes."
"Nobody likes to see that word [nuke], but you can't carpet-bomb Afghanistan," Klimaj argued. "It didn't do any good in Vietnam. It really didn't work that well in the Gulf. And it's not going to do anything now."

Das glaube ich nicht. Wir werden es sehen.
Secretary of State Colin L. Powell is trying to persuade the Saudi government to reverse a decade-old policy in which it has refused to allow the United States to stage or command offensive air operations from Saudi air bases, officials said.
While high-level talks aimed at resolving the matter are underway, the Pentagon is already considering moving the operations center to another country, the officials added. They did not specify where.
The Pentagon had been counting on using the command center at Prince Sultan Air Base in the coming air war. Besides delaying any operation, Saudi unwillingness to allow the United Sates to use Saudi bases for offensive operations could send a strong signal to the Arab world that accepting Washington's demands is not a prerequisite for ongoing relations with Washington.
The Combined Air Operations Center at Prince Sultan Air Base, located outside Al Kharj about 70 miles southeast of Riyadh and completed just six weeks ago, is the Air Force's most advanced command and control center. It is capable of controlling the movements of hundreds of aircraft over an area of thousands of miles.
The two nations have different perspectives on the Air Force facility: The United States sees it as capable of running operations throughout the Mideast, while the Saudi government would like -- at least publicly -- to see it used only to defend Saudi territory.
Despite military ties with Washington that are decades old, the Saudi royal family remains extremely sensitive about cooperating with the U.S. military, given feelings among many Saudi citizens that their leaders are too closely allied with the United States.
During the Persian Gulf War, the Saudis permitted the United States to fly combat missions from their soil. But afterward, the Saudis repeatedly refused Washington's request to base attack aircraft there for various military strikes against Iraq.
und trotz der engen Bindung des Königshauses an die USA hat dieses es jetzt vorgezogen,das Weite zu suchen und ist mit allen Frauen und Prinzen in die Schweiz geflohen aus Angst vor Gegenschlägen der Terroristen,sobald der Angriff auf Afghanistan losgeht.

King Fahd bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia has been secretly flown out of the kingdom to his palace in Geneva, Switzerland, reports the private intelligence service DEBKAfile based on Persian Gulf and Middle East sources.
The royal mobile hospital fitted aboard Boeing 757 HZ-HMED landed in the private VIP section of the Geneva airport Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 19. A palace conclave led by Crown Prince Abdullah, who effectively rules the kingdom, decided to remove the chronically ailing monarch to safety, fearing he might be stranded in the middle of a military crisis arising from the impending U.S. offensive against international terrorism.
The royal hospital plane was accompanied by another craft of the royal flight carrying the king’s family and entourage.
Riyadh is reportedly concerned about the possibility of a major terrorist attack on the royal palaces being sparked by the outbreak of hostilities in Afghanistan or elsewhere, as the U.S. prepares for a major offensive against the forces of Islamic terrorist Osama bin Laden.
A group of princes was therefore carried to a safe place in the additional fleet of 10 royal aircraft that ferried members of the Saudi royal family to Geneva. More than a dozen Mercedeses waited on the tarmac of Geneva International Airport to collect the royal arrivals.
The Saudi royal airlift, which began Tuesday night, is still in progress, according to DEBKA's sources. Two more private royal planes are expected in the VIP section of Geneva airport tomorrow.
Ein zu langes Scharmützel würde ausserdem Pakistan noch mehr destabilisieren...
Wirft Amerika eine Atombombe auf Afghanistan?
Albert Schweitzer beging keinen Fehler, als er glaubte, dass sein Beispiel der Brüderlichkeit nach 50 Jahren noch allgemein bekannt sein könnte. In New York wird diese Brüderlichkeit heute praktiziert, wo keiner der Helfer Rachegelüste hegt. Wenn man so nah an einer Tragödie ist, ist einem der Appetit nach Weitertragen desselben Unglücks vergangen. Die New Yorker beten für den Frieden. Sie allein hätten das Recht, Rache zu fordern. Sie verzichten jedoch darauf, weil sie mitmenschlich betroffen sind.
Leider berichtet die Weltpresse aber nicht über eine Meldung von 1998, nach der bei einer Wiederholung eines terroristischen Attentates auf amerikanische Einrichtungen nach "einer Militärdoktrin" auch Atomwaffen gegen nicht-staatliche Akteure eingesetzt werden könnten (Süddeutsche Zeitung 24. 08. 1998; "USA erwägen Atomschlag auch gegen Terroristen").
Wir stellen die Frage, warum die Presse auf einmal so vergesslich ist, was ihre eigenen Meldungen anbelangt. Ein Schüler einer Hannoveraner Schule sagte im ZDF-Spezial: "Hoffentlich gibt keine atomare Vergeltung?" Damit schlug der Schüler die Brücke zu der die Menschheit bewegenden Aufforderung von Bundespräsident Rau, eine Überreaktion zu vermeiden und somit nicht vom Opfer zum Täter zu werden.

Berlin (dpa) - Der Regierungskoordinator für die deutsch- amerikanische Zusammenarbeit, Karsten Voigt, hält es nach den Terroranschlägen in den USA 'eher für wahrscheinlich als für unwahrscheinlich', dass bei einer Militäroperation der Amerikaner die Deutschen 'beteiligt und gefragt' sein werden.
Voigt sagte am Samstag im ZDF-Morgenmagazin, die Bedrohung durch den Terrorismus bestehe nicht nur für Amerika, sondern auch für Deutschland.
'Es geht hier nicht um Vergeltung, sondern um die langfristige Zerschlagung von terroristischen Strukturen'. Dabei sei das Militärische nur eines von mehreren Mitteln. Die USA hätten bisher polizeilich und - 'auch mit unserer Hilfe' - nachrichtendienstlich gearbeitet, sagte Voigt. 'Es geht auch darum, staatliche Strukturen zu schwächen, die Terrorismus begünstigen.'

Tokyo, September 23
The United States has warned its allies of a possible second round of attacks by the end of this week following the deadly recent strikes against New York and Washington, Jiji news agency quoted Japanese government sources as saying.
The next round of attacks, if really launched, would be on an even greater scale than those on September 11, which killed more than 6,000 people, according to information provided to Japan by the United States, Jiji said.
The news agency quoted the sources as saying on Saturday that the "means of terrorism" would be "more cruel and shocking" than in the September 11 carnage, when hijackers flew airliners into New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington.
The targets of the possible attacks were unknown but possibilities included members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and Pakistan, Jiji said.
The government sources said attacks on Japan could not be ruled out since Tokyo has expressed support for U.S. retaliation against the September 11 strikes.
The United States has judged that a second round of attacks, if carried out, is likely by the end of this week at the latest, the sources said.
Washington suspects that a group led by fugitive Saudi-born millionaire Osama bin Laden has been contemplating attacks using biological and chemical weapons, such as sarin nerve gas, for years, according to the sources.
The United States has information that the group has already acquired small airplanes to spray bacteria causing smallpox or anthrax from the air, Jiji quoted the sources as saying.
Time magazine reported on Saturday that investigators had found a crop-dusting manual during a search for those responsible for the attacks on New York and Washington, triggering concern that crop-dusting planes might be used for chemical or biological assaults.
The FBI in Washington said it had not seen the report and had no comment on it.
