(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - May 17, 2012: According to F. Michael Maloof, a former Pentagon senior policy analyst the Israeli Air Force is equipped with the same Stealth Black Hawk helicopter used by the U.S. Navy SEALs to kill Osama Bin Laden last year.

Believed to be an exclusive U.S. “black project”, the radar-evading chopper (most probably a quiet one, rather than an actual helicopter invisible to radars), such helos would be used by the IAF to drop Iranian dissidents into Iran to gather intelligence on the Tehran’s nuclear program, according to a report written by Maloof for G2 bulletin, a global intelligence newsletter.

This is the first time someone reports about radar-evading choppers in the hands of Israel.

Even if it’s quite unlikely that the Washington shared the secrets of its most advanced helicopter with Jerusalem, considered that the American Stealth Hawk is probably based on 1978 study freely available on the Internet, we can’t rule out the possibility that the Israeli industry has found a way to modify the IAF Black Hawks (nicknamed “Yanshuf”, English for “Owl”) to make them stealthy.

Provided a Stealth Yanshuf really exists, this is what it would look like in two updated versions of the renderings I conceived with AviationGraphic.com‘s Ugo Crisponi: above, the famous highly modified version with retractable landing gear MH-X (please remember this is not the actual designation), whose shape reminds the one of an S-76; below, the more likely slightly-modified Stealth Black Hawk (described here).

DTN News - AL-QAEDA PAKISTAN CONNECTION: A Senior Al-Qaeda Leader Younis al-Mauritani Arrested In Quetta Pakistan

Asia News Report: DTN News - AL-QAEDA PAKISTAN CONNECTION: A Senior Al-Qaeda Leader Younis al-Mauritani Arrested In Quetta Pakistan

**Pakistan says senior al Qaeda leader captured

Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources DAWN

(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - September 5, 2011: Pakistan said on Monday it has captured a “senior al Qaeda leader” named Younis al- Mauritani who was responsible for conducting international operations and ordered by Osama bin Laden to hit US, European and Australian economic targets.

The United States helped Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency conduct the arrests, the military said, suggesting ties heavily damaged by the killing of bin Laden had improved.

“He was planning to target United States economic interests including gas/oil pipelines, power generating dams and strike ships/oil tankers through explosive laden speed boats in international waters,” the military said in a statement.

Pakistan, describing the capture as “another fatal blow” to the militant group, added that two other senior al Qaeda operatives were also detained in the operation on the outskirts of the southwestern city of Quetta.

They were identified as Abdul Ghaffar al-Shami and Messara al-Shami. No further details were provided. It was not possible to immediately verify the captures.

US officials have said al Qaeda’s deputy chief, Libyan national Atiyah abd al-Rahman, was killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan near the Afghan border on Aug. 22. But Pakistan officials have not confirmed his death.

Pakistan has been under intense pressure from its ally the United States to crack down harder on al Qaeda and other militant groups since US special forces found bin Laden in a Pakistani town in May and killed him in a secret raid.

Although much international attention has been focused on US-led efforts to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan, U.S.officials believe regional stability will not be possible unless Pakistan roots out militants operating on its soil.

The military has failed to break the back of militant groups operating along the unruly border with Afghanistan despite a series of offensives.

Pakistan joined the US war on militancy after the Sept.11, 2001 attacks on the United States. It has captured major al Qaeda figures since then, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, self-professed mastermind of the September 11 attacks.

But Washington often questions Pakistan’s commitment to the campaign, saying it must do more to tackle militants who cross into Afghanistan from Pakistan to attack Western forces there.

IMPROVED TIES?

Relations sunk to a low after the United States kept Pakistan in the dark over the bin Laden operation and suspicions grew in Washington that elements of the ISI knew the al Qaeda leader was living in Pakistan.

But the military statement said the capture of al-Mauritani was a joint operation, raising the possibility that Islamabad and Washington were working to improve ties.

“This operation was planned and conducted with technical assistance of United State intelligence agencies with whom (Pakistan’s) Inter-Services Intelligence agency has a strong, historic intelligence relationship,” the statement said.

“Both Pakistan and United States intelligence agencies continue to work closely together to enhance security of their respective nations.”

Imtiaz Gul, a prominent Pakistani security analyst, said the joint operation means intelligence sharing has been restored after Pakistan took steps to limit CIA activities here.

“This is what the situation demanded,” he said.

“The entire Pakistan-US relationship basically revolves around the CIA and ISI and now it appears they are resuming their normal contacts.”
