Have any of you folks visited the Global Islamic Media Yahoo group? There's some pretty disturbing info over there and on the links referred to in the postings. Most of it is in Arabic. There is a posting about assasination using bicycles, and another celebrating the destruction of the US. I'll try and translate later this evening or first thing tomorrow. I hope that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies are able to protect us. I've had that ominous feeling for over a month now, and I was really concerned there would be an attack within this country during the last few days of Ramadan. Thankfully, I was wrong. Right now so many things are going right for the US. We've caught Saddam. The economy has rebounded. And the way that Saddam surrendered without a shot should have every terrorist wannabe questioning why they should "martyr" themselves when one of their leaders crawled out of a hole begging not to be shot. I'm sure the bad guys are thinking they need a real morale boost. I hope and pray they do NOT get one. If we can get through the end of the year without something bad happening I'll feel much better. I keep remembering that back in February Bin Laden released a tape and claimed the following (article at http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/02/13/1044927730845.html):
"In this final year I hurl myself and my steed with my soul at the enemy. Indeed on my demise I will become a martyr," the al-Qaeda leader purportedly says. "I pray my demise isn't on a coffin bearing green mantles. I wish my demise to be in the eagle's belly," he continues.
That still has me uneasy. But I've been wrong before. I thought that someone would happen during Ramadan in the US. It didn't. I hope that I am wrong again.

Another take on today's warning. Debkaesque, but also scary.

12-21 ongoing New York City;
Los Angeles; Washington, DC.; Chicago Stolen cargo planes loaded with WMD. Concern for radio controlled, large model aircraft containing biologicals. Additionally, female suicide bombers in cities previously noted, targeting large gatherings like sports events, malls, etc. New York City;

COMMENT: DoD sources have indicated FOUR 5-man teams in possession of cargo aircraft headed for previously noted targets: the White House, the Pentagon and speculation of the NY Stock Exchange. Additionally, US counter-terrorism units are specifically concerned with radio-controlled model aircraft being used as a platform to disperse biologicals over target cities. Several U.S. military gunships were spotted chasing RC aircraft on Dec. 20. In the last 48 hours, actual photographs of suitcase nukes have shown up on "disappearing" Jihad websites. Developing. . .

Just as a note, Green rings signify Chemical weapons in Iraq anyway. Is he saying "I pray I don't die due to the WMD before i deliver it to the USA?"
