HIZBULLAH & UAE

NOVANEWS When I was in Lebanon last January, I learned so many things that I forgot to report on so many things. I will be there in late May, so I will learn more. Here is another one that I forgot about. I was talking to a friend the other day, and he reminded me of the story that I had told him in Beirut in January (in light of the Dubai assassination and the high-profile role of the Dubai chief of police.) Months ago (in 2009), the UAE sent a very high envoy to Beirut on a secret mission to meet with Hasan Nasrallah. The man met with Hasan Nasrallah for several hours. His message from UAE rulers was that they want Hizbullah to use its influence among the Shi`ites of the Gulf to prevent disturbances in the event of an Israeli/US war on Iran. I am told, that what the man heard from Nasral...

UAE MIRACLES

NOVANEWS "At only one point in his story did Naji Hamdan cry. Sitting in an office chair as he recounted how he was arrested, tortured and ultimately convicted of terrorism charges in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), his voice barely wavered. Only when he described how Emirati interrogators threatened to rape his wife in front of him if he did not confess to charges of supporting Al Qaeda did he lose control, pausing to accept a fistful of Kleenex before he continued his story."

MU-BARAK FOR A 6TH TERM

NOVANEWS The brave Egyptian journalist, `Abdul-Halim Qandil writes on Mubarak's sixth term in office. PS I am disappointed that Qandil has endorsed Al-Baradi`i (or Baradeeh as it is pronounced in US TV news) for president, and told him my opinion. PPS The widely circulated email to the effect that Qandil is missing is a hoax. Please stop sending it to me and stop asking me about his condition. Posted by As'ad at 6:26

DUBAI ZIONIST CORRUPT ROYAL FAMILY

NOVANEWS I watched an interview with Dubai's police chief on Aljazeera TV. The man does not deserve to be lionized or admired or praised. He did the minimum of his job and he was very effective indeed against the dumb Zionist Mossad hit team. In the interview, he strikes you as competent and intelligent and is fully aware of investigative work. He also challenged the view that the investigation was all based on electronic surveillance and said that there is a human investigative element, and said that he has Hebrew speakers among his staff. But what is bothersome is the extent to which he views himself as subservient, politically speaking, to the Sons of Zayid and to Sheikh Mo. He was so careful in everything he said not to offend the Zionist regime in 'Israel'. He made it sound that this ...
