(2004/C 65 E/057) WRITTEN QUESTION P-0901/03 by James Fitzsimons (UEN) to the Commission (17 March 2003) Subject: Devices for filtering radon gas from groundwater sources As the Commission is aware, naturally occurring radioactive gas can be found in groundwater. However, it is not clear how to filter out radon from the water. Is the Commission aware of this problem and does it know of ways or devices to filter out such gas? Answer given by Mr Busquin on behalf of the Commission (10 April 2003) The Commission is aware of the problem of naturally occurring radon in groundwater sources, in particular when this water is used for drinking water. Commission Recommendation 2001/928/Euratom recommends that above a concentration of 100 Bq/l for public water supplies consideration be given to remedial action. 13.3.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 65 E/57 A research project, Tenawa, on this particular problem was executed under the Nuclear Fission Safety (Euratom) programme. The overall objective of this project, which ended in 1999, was to study various removal methods and commercially available equipment and study their ability to remove natural nuclides from drinking water. The project studied a number of techniques such as aeration, granular activated carbon, ion exchange, and membrane technology. Some of these techniques achieved an efficiency above 99 % for the removal of radon. Further details on this project may be found at the projects web site: (http://iwga-sig.boku.ac.at/project/tenawa/tenawa1_e.htm) Under the Fifth Framework Programme, a currently running research project, Radwat, funded by the sub- programme Environment and Sustainable Development under the CRAFT scheme, is focused on developing an innovative radon measuring and monitoring system for use in groundwater. This two-year project will end in February 2004. (2004/C 65 E/058) WRITTEN QUESTION E-0920/03 by Antonio Tajani (PPE-DE) and Gerardo Galeote Quecedo (PPE-DE) to the Commission (24 March 2003) Subject: Release by the Netherlands authorities of Mullah Krekar Is the Commission aware that the Netherlands authorities have released Mullah Krekar, leader of the international Islamic organisation Ansar al-Islam? Is the Commission aware that Mullah Krekar, who was arrested at Amsterdam airport after being expelled from Iran is currently in Norway where he has refugee status? Is the Commission aware that the terrorist organisation headed by Mullah Krekar is said to have produced and tested chemical and biological weapons, including ricin, a lethal toxin for which there is currently no vaccine? What action will the Commission take to counteract Mullah Krekar’s activities and prevent him from ever entering the European Union, thereby ensuring that in future he is unable to move around within the EU as he did in the years leading up to his arrest? What action will the Commission take to ensure that Norway keeps a watchful eye on the activities of Mullah Krekar’s and his organisation, which seems to be recruiting many of the Al-Qa’ida members who escaped from Afghanistan? Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission (28 May 2003) The Commission is aware of Mr Krekar’s case. Following an amendment by the United Nations’ Sanctions Committee on 24 February 2003, Commission Regulation (EC) No 350/2003 of 25 February 2003 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 881/2002 (1), has included Ansar al-Islam in the list of ‘Legal persons, groups and entities’ to whom the freezing of funds and economic resources shall apply. Article 96 of Schengen Convention (2) provides for the possibility to prevent third country nationals from entering the territory of the Member States by issuing an alert on them in the Schengen Information System (SIS). This type of alerts to be introduced by a Member State must in principle be enforced by all 13 Member States which have fully implemented the Schengen acquis, or by States that have been associated with it, as Norway and Iceland have. The decision to issue an alert based on Article 96 of the Schengen Convention may be based on the fact that the third country national poses a threat to public policy or public security..

  • The Post-Madrid Face of Al Qaeda
    Rohan Gunaratna The Post-Madrid Face of Al Qaeda For two-and-a-half years after the September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States’ most iconic landmarks, Al Qaeda and its associated groups struck Western targets only in the global South, in places such as Bali, Casablanca, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey, Chechnya, and Tunisia. Despite the September 11 attacks and the continuing threat, Europe re- mained an active center for terrorist support activity—propaganda, recruit- ment, fundraising, and procurement. As support cells were enmeshed in the socioeconomic, cultural, and political fabric of migrant and diaspora Mus- lims, European law enforcement, security, and intelligence services targeted only the operational cells that appeared on their radar screen. It was consid- ered politically incorrect to revise the legislative framework to target several hundred terrorist support cells active on European soil. Some Europeans even believed that Al Qaeda had spared the continent because of its policy tolerating terrorist support infrastructure. Although successive attacks against Jewish and British targets in Istanbul in November 2003 demonstrated Al Qaeda’s intentions, capabilities, and opportunities for attack on the continent, European law enforcement, intel- ligence, and security services did not take the threat seriously. Although the Turkish case clearly demonstrated that terrorists planning to strike could survive undetected for years, there was neither a proper appreciation of the threat nor an appreciable effort to increase the quality of intelligence by penetrating the politicized and radicalized segments of Europe’s diaspora and migrant communities. Even the fact that three of the four September 11 suicide pilots were recruited from the heart of Europe did not generate the same sense of urgency in Europe that prevailed in the United States.

    September 2007 Occasional Paper Occasional An Outline of Kurdish Islamist Groups in Iraq David Romano Abstract: This article outlines the history and genesis of Kurdish Islamist groups in Iraq. Based on fi eldwork and personal interviews conducted in Iraq in 2003 and 2004, this study presents a signifi cant amount of never-before published details about these movements. Particular attention is paid to the links between various groups, their transformation or splintering into new organizations, and the role of the non-Kurdish Iraqi Muslim Brotherhood in spawning these movements. The conclusion to this study addresses possible strategies for containing radical Islamist movements, and the dilemmas inherent in constructing such strategies.

  • Ansar Al-Islam: Iraq's Al-Qaeda Connection | the Washington Institute
    MENU Policy Analysis / PolicyWatch 699 Ansar al-Islam: Iraq's al-Qaeda Connection by Jonathan Schanzer Jan 15, 2003 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Jonathan Schanzer Jonathan Schanzer, a former terrorism finance analyst at the Treasury Department, is senior vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Brief Analysis nsar al-Islam, an al-Qaeda affiliate active in Iraqi Kurdistan since September 2001, is a prototype of A America's enemies in the "war on terror." The group serves as a testament to the global spread of al-Qaeda affiliates, achieved through exploitation of weak central authorities and a utilitarian willingness to work with seemingly differing ideologies for a common cause. Lengthy reports on Ansar have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times, and Kurdish leaders have given Washington a plethora of intelligence on the group. Nevertheless, Ansar has yet to appear on official U.S. terrorism lists. Meanwhile, political complexities would make military action against the group difficult, at best. Hence, this small force of 650 fighters is a textbook example of the ongoing challenges posed by the war on terror. Northern Iraq's al-Qaeda In August 2001, leaders of several Kurdish Islamist factions reportedly visited the al-Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan with the goal of creating an alternate base for the organization in northern Iraq. Their intentions were echoed in a document found in an al-Qaeda guest house in Afghanistan vowing to "expel those Jews and Christians from Kurdistan and join the way of Jihad, [and] rule every piece of land . with the Islamic Shari'a rule." Soon thereafter, Ansar al-Islam was created using $300,000 to $600,000 in al-Qaeda seed money, in addition to funds from Saudi Arabia.
