I was going over a thread on some jihadi webring hosted by Yahoo, and Captain11 noticed an interesting link. This was for a 'security' company by the name of Sakina Security Services (http://www.sakina.fsbusiness.co.uk/ultimate.htm).
Doing a google search, I found their complete site (http://www.sakinasecurity.com/). Some information on this site is extremely disturbing to me. Here's a snippet;

UNDERSTANDING AMMUNITION CAPABILITIES
Sakina security services provide an instructor development course for the students who want to make a career out of this specialist training.
Whose backyard? The company is based in London. England.
"An extremist religious organisation is believed to be targeting young men in cities such as London and Birmingham to fight a holy war (jihad) in Chechnya and Kashmir. The recruits are trained in all aspects of warfare, with advanced training available abroad.
Adi Ya Ya
Adi Ya Ya, a 25-year-old from north London, spent four months at a military training camp in Kashmir. He returned to the UK to recruit others to fight for independence in Kashmir.
"I learned everything with respect to fighting - making bombs, using artillery, using a Kalashnikov, how to ambush," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Sakina Security Services, an international organisation funded by wealthy individuals, ran the course. Its website says it specialises in "high risk jobs in the former Soviet Union and in the civil war arenas of the world".
Islamic rebels are among those fighting the Russians in Chechnya Adi Ya Ya says the recruits trained to defend fellow Muslims. "If that means that we learn how to make bombs, then we learn how to make bombs. If that means that we learn how to kill, we learn how to kill...."
I think you're right. The sort of thing I might have sneered at a week ago as the fantasies of overgrown adolescents.
"LIVE FIRE PEDESTRIAN ESCORT" and "LIVE FIRE HOSTAGE RESCUE" don't sound like things terrorists would do.
In the immortal words of Emily Litella, "Never mind."

I don't know if that reliably determines that a bunch of terrorists are residing in irvine, ca. Time for a sweep by the FBI.
