Curious, no?

Google search: "bin Laden" "055 brigade"

[bonesmccoy]

Curious is an understatement... I just searched Google with "Bin Ladin" and "055"...

From the Monterey Institute: http://cns.miis.edu/pubs/other/sjm_cht.htm

2/2001 Chemical Bin Ladin's elite 055 Brigade is supposedly reorganized under the leadership of Midhat al-Mursi, aka Abu Khabab, an Egyptian and an expert in sarin gas production.

This message at NIN may be worth a special breaking news thread.

http://www.hagmannpi.com/alaqsa.htm

NIN is arguing that the goal of the A.Q. terrorists is to destroy or significantly damage the Al Aqsa.

This certainly matches with the supposed pseudonym of Saladin (given that Saladin was responsible for bringing Islamic control to Jerusalem...)

strange Al Queda like rhetoric showing up on news bulletin board at this obscure paper in San Francisco: http://www.nichibeitimes.com/wwwboard/wwwboard.html

Someone named "Peace for all Mankind" has been posting rhetoric at this message board that attacks the administration and appears anti-semetic in form.

Excellent research/find Saber! Now the frightening part- The 055 brigade numbers at least 500 men

Are there going to be this many involved in attacks?!
