News Khabran / The grim truth behind training female suicide bombers« on: June 21, 2010, 11:33:02 PM »
Russian special forces in Dagestan are searching for the relatives of a 17-year-old female suicide bomber who blew herself up a week ago in the Moscow Metro.
Teenager Djennet Abdurakhmanova was the widow of a Dagestani militant killed by federal security services during a raid there last year. The second female Moscow Metro suicide bomber has allegedly been identified by her father, a resident of the Republic of Dagestan, after seeing pictures of her posted on the Internet. Rasul Magomedov identified the woman as his 28-year-old daughter Maryam Sharipova, who committed the first terror attack in the Moscow Metro on March 29, Novaya Gazeta reports. The explosion in the Moscow Metro may have been carried out by Maryam Sharipova, confirms the senior Prosecutor’s assistant from the Dagestani Prosecutor’s Office, RIA Novosti reports. “Sharipova’s father told the Prosecutor’s Office on Monday that he saw pictures of his daughter on the Internet,” the spokesperson said. “He specified that the last time he saw his daughter was March 26. On March 28 she was in Makhachkala, from where she called her mother and said she was going to visit her friend. After that she disappeared.”[/color Only the forensic investigation will confirm or deny the information, added the source. The information that Maryam Sharipova was married to a militant leader cannot be officially confirmed yet, he added. Maryam Sharipova, who worked as a teacher in a village school, was very responsible, told the head of the local administration to RIA Novosti, noting that she was a good student at university. “I saw her in the picture, that’s surely her. Everybody recognized her. But I don’t know what she did it for,” he added. Rasul Magomedov said that his daughter was religious but not radical. “I exclude the possibility that she could have been psychologically treated. She had a psychology diploma herself,” he emphasized. Doomed faith There are many chilling examples of how women under a strong militant influence are encouraged to sacrifice everything, even their lives, in the name of terrorism. Aisha's case is one of them. During a typical special operation in Dagestan the police had trapped and surrounded a militant and his wife Aisha in their home. Security forces then told them to lay down their arms and leave the house. A desperate phone call was then made from inside the house; Aisha called her husband’s sister. “I am pregnant. I was praying and I thought: should I surrender?” Aisha said. “Please, don’t!” implored the sister. “What's good about this life? Be strong until the last moment! Ask Allah not to let you stay alive.” Regions like the North Caucasus, with a predominantly Muslim population, seem more vulnerable to the recruiting methods of extremism. Militants from abroad go there in search of carriers for their lethal weapons before unleashing them on public targets. And it is this influence that likely made 17-year-old Djennet blow herself up in the Moscow Metro. Malaysian student Sim Eih-Xing who survived the blast believes he may have seen the girl just moments before the explosion. Djennet Abdurakhmanova RT went to the village where Djennet lived, but people were reluctant to talk on camera. Many were worried that her actions had damaged the village’s reputation. However, away from the camera we learned that a year ago she married a 30-year-old militant leader. Several months later he was killed in a special operation, which, according to the extremist code, left the teenager with two options: marry another militant or become a suicide bomber. She opted for the latter. Security sources say militants have changed tactics. While before they mainly attacked police in the region, now female suicide bombers are being trained to later be spread across the country. This method, widely employed by extremists in the Middle East, is now becoming a powerful tool for militants in Russia’s South. “Terrorism in the Caucasus comes from the outside and is funded from the outside,” stated Viktor Nadein-Raevsky from the Institute of World Economy and International Relations. “The terror attacks are characteristic of Al-Qaeda: the first blast attracts crowds of people, then the second blast hits.” The method of the two recent double attacks in Southern Russia has been almost identical. On March 31 in Dagestan 12 were people killed, and in Ingushetia on Monday, April 5, two police officers were killed and two injured. International terrorists use many different tactics to recruit female suicide bombers. “For example, they try to disgrace women, to rape them to deprive them of any hope for a better future – such things do matter in the Caucasus, just like for any other Muslims,” Nadein-Raevsky explains. “Such women are psychologically shattered, broken. They are prepared to become gun fodder.” That was supposed to happen with another 22-year-old woman who walked into a shop in Dagestan’s capital, with a bag full of explosives, ready to kill herself and innocent people. Luckily, the attack was averted that time. Female suicide bombings are not yet a widespread phenomenon in Russia, but it is clear that the authorities need to take a firm grip on the problem to avoid a repeat of the tragic events in the Moscow Metro last week. ~courtsy Novaya Gazeta 199
Gup Shup / How to Sell the Eiffel Tower (Twice)« on: June 21, 2010, 10:54:15 PM »
Wouldn’t it be great if you could pick any building in the world and sell it with out having to own it?
Well, that’s what Victor Lustig did in 1925. He sold the Eiffel tower, not just once, but twice within two months!!! To understand how he did that, we have to know a bit about Victor Lustig. Victor discovered his talents to charm and persuade while still a young man. He spoke multiple languages and people liked him. Pretty soon he could talk his way into almost anything. He started with small scams for pocket change and quickly developed a taste for it. He sharpened his skills to the point where he evolved into a smooth talking, confidence man. In order associate himself with wealthy people, he began frequenting the same places as they did. One of which was on the ocean liners between Europe and America. Onboard, he would pose as a free spending, wealthy businessman. Victor Lustig He would quickly make friends among the passengers and seek out the wealthiest and most vulnerable to his scams. When his new friends felt comfortable with him and the talk turned to money, he would grudgingly reveal the secret of his wealth, his “money box”. The money box was a skilfully crafted mahogany box with brass dials and internal rollers which he claimed could duplicate hundred dollar bills. He demonstrated by inserting a real bill along with a paper blank into slots at one end of the box and then, after a six hour “chemical reaction” time, he would pull two real bills out of the other end. Victor Lustig's Money Box This kind of scam requires a lot of psychology and Victor was excellent at sizing up his marks. He felt it was much better to soak one sucker for a lot then many suckers for a little. By the end of the voyage he could tell which people were vulnerable to his charms and easier to scam. Then he would offer the box for sale and, as they had seen the ships purser accept the bills and vouch for their authenticity, a bidding war would usually ensue. He would inevitably part with the box just before disembarking from the ship for about $10,000 but one time he reaped an enormous profit of $25,000, about $250,000 in today’s money value. How did the trick work? He had loaded several real bills into the box for demonstration purposes and the six hour time for the chemical reaction was simply to provide enough time for a clean getaway. By the time the victim discovered the truth, Victor was long gone. Growing bored with this scam or perhaps sensing an end to the easy pickings, he went to Paris to formulate another scam. At the time, Paris was the center of the civilized world, buoyed with a new sense of optimism and opportunity as it emerged from the dark years following world war one. One morning, while enjoying a cup of coffee at his favourite sidewalk café, Victor read a newspaper article regarding the debate raging around the maintenance costs of the 36 year old Eiffel tower.The tower was constructed in 1889 for the Paris Exposition and was 11 years past its projected lifespan. It was so different from the other historic buildings in Paris that it stuck out on the skyline like, well, a rusty, metal tower. Parisians were polarized about its future. Many Parisians felt it was an eyesore and out of place with the great classical buildings of the city and should be torn down, others saw it as an icon. Another problem was that the tower was beginning to rust and the maintenance bill was a drain on the cities coffers. Paris city council was torn and the citizenry divided. And when opinions divided, Victor saw a chance to conquer. Thinking as only a conman can, he devised a scheme to make a bit of money and do the impossible, sell the tower. He forged some business cards and stationary and called himself “Deputy Director of the Ministere de Postes et Telegraphes”. Then he sent out letters to six of the cities largest scrap dealers and invited them to a meeting to discuss confidential business. He picked one of the fanciest hotels and wined and dined them to the standard that Victor himself had become accustomed. Stressing the need to maintain silence and keep the discussion out of a public forum, he disclosed to the dealers that the decision to scrap the tower had been made. Their bids were required so the city could determine the true cost of the savings and make the case for the demolition to the public. One of them would obtain the contract to dismantle and sell the tower if they presented their bid within four days.He was very convincing as he took the contractors on a limousine tour of the site. Then, Victor discussed the details with each one separately. He wanted to make sure they all had the same opportunity and more importantly, which one was most likely to take the bait. One man stood out among the others as a bit of a rube. Andre Poisson was fairly new to the Paris business scene and wanted to earn a reputation. Victor judged him as the most vulnerable to be scammed. When Andre asked questions and seemed suspicions, he took him aside and confessed how the paltry wages he made as a public servant didn’t match his responsibilities and hinted at a bribe. Surprisingly, this put Andre at ease as bribery was common in these types of deals in Paris, and, after all, no con man would ask for a bribe would he? A few not so subtle hints later and Andre was offering a bribe of $20,000 to obtain the contract. The next day, Andre delivered to Victor $20,000 cash plus $50,000 for the Eiffel tower itself. Within an hour Victor was on a train to Vienna with his suitcase full of money. Victor watched the Paris papers for the story of his fraud to break but to his amazement, after a month, it had not been reported. Apparently, Andre was too embarrassed to mention the episode and reveal it for public scrutiny and ridicule. Never one to rest on his laurels, Victor decided to give it another spin and returned to Paris. He called six different scrap dealers and tried the same scam. Unfortunately, this time one, of the dealers did a bit of investigating and alerted the police.Victor escaped by the skin of his teeth and fled back to America where he contented himself to scamming Americans of all classes and occupations, including a crooked sheriff in Oklahoma which purchased one of his money boxes. Of course, the box quickly ceased to deliver money and the sheriff realized he had been scammed. The sheriff tracked Victor to Chicago and stuck a gun in his face and arrested him. Ever the smooth talker, he blamed the machine’s failure on the sheriff’s inexperience and incorrect settings. To gain his freedom though, he gave back the sheriff’s $10,000 and was released. Unfortunately for the sheriff, the money was counterfeit and the sheriff was arrested on Bourbon Street in New Orleans for passing phoney hundred dollar bills. The sheriff spent several years in jail and never got to extract his vengeance on Victor Lustig, but like most scam artists, Victor was eventually caught and sentenced to jail. In 1947 he died while incarcerated in Alcatraz prison. So how do you sell the Eiffel tower? Well, first you have to have unshakable confidence. Then you have to make up a lie so preposterous, crazy and over the top that no one would think it’s a scam, then you have to appeal to their greedy nature and stick to your story while picking their pocket. It’s just that easy! 200
