M) Money Laundering and Financial Crimes
The existence of anonymous passbook savings accounts spurred the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to threaten Austria with suspension from FATF if the government did not take action to abolish the accounts. The threat of suspension followed FATFТs issuance of a public warning to financial institutions of the risks that are associated with Austrian anonymous passbook savings accounts. In response, the Government enacted legislation that will effectively eliminate anonymous passbook savings accounts by June 2002. No new accounts have been permitted since early November 2000. In response the FATF lifted its warning about the anonymous passbook savings accounts. ... [Read More]

It has been the capital of what is now Tunisia since the 13th century. Tunis is really two cities - the old Arab town (the medina) with its narrow shop-lined streets, and the modern city that has grown up around the medina over the last century.

The second issue is Iraq. What's happening in Iraq? Let mestart by suggesting that there is a problem of definition. Whenthe people who demonstrate in the Arab World, or wouldindicate their frustration because they cannot demonstratephysically about what's happening in Iraq, they sometimesadopt a conspiratorial approach that "the white man is after us." The issue for the Arab public is not supporting SaddamHussein. The issue is the solidarity with the Iraqi populationbecause of identity or the issue is the integrity of Iraq, as such. So the issue is not defined in the people's mind in internationallegal terms. The issue is defined in emotional Arabnationalistic or Islamist -- you choose it -- terms. ... [Read More]

Cuba in the Middle East: A Brief Chronology
(June 1999)"Cuba in the Middle East" is an important publication for several reasons. First, it chronicles Fidel Castro's intimate and long standing involvement with revolutionary and terrorist groups and "rogue" states in the Middle East. It is the first time, to my knowledge, that a high-ranking, former Cuban official publicly discusses in writing and in such detail Castro's ongoing connection with and support for anti-American and anti-Israel groups in this important, albeit volatile, region of the world. The author, [Read More]
