'Horrific' I-95 crash kills 4

A fiery crash involving a tanker carrying a flammable liquid that plunged off a highway overpass yesterday on Interstate 95 south of Baltimore killed at least four motorists and was expected to delay traffic at least through this morning's rush hour.

"It was a horrific scene," said Chuck Gischlar, a State Highway Administration spokesman. "There was fire everywhere. It was down in the woods, on other vehicles. It was terrible there."

Just before 3 p.m., the tanker hit a utility pole on an Interstate 895 overpass, then plunged onto I-95, said Cpl. Rob Moroney of the Maryland State Police.

Crashed Uzbek Jet Made Two Landing Tries

By AZIZ NURITOV
Associated Press Writer


TASHKENT, Uzbekistan (AP) -- An airliner was making its second attempt to land in heavy fog when it crashed just short of the runway, killing all 37 people on board - including the top U.N. official in this Central Asian country - officials said Wednesday.

Four foreigners were among the passengers on the Uzbekistan Airways flight that crashed Tuesday evening, Prosecutor General Rashid Kadyrov said. They were Richard Conroy, a British-Australian citizen who headed the U.N. mission to Uzbekistan; Richard Penner, a Canadian and director in Afghanistan of the U.S.-based World Concern humanitarian organization; and two Afghan businessmen.

Brazil Detains U.S. Jet Crew Over Gesture

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) - The pilot of an American Airlines jet was detained Wednesday after making an obscene gesture when being photographed at the airport as part of a newly imposed entry requirement for U.S. citizens, federal police said. Eleven crewmembers from the airplane arriving from Miami were also detained, police said. Brazil imposed requirements that Americans be fingerprinted and photographed at entry points in response the similar rules in the United States for citizens of Brazil and other countries whose citizens need visas to enter.

Also a nuclear blast (not a scientist here) could knock out all kinds of communications for all I know - don't know if a dirty bomb could knock out communication. Getting more worried by the minute.

A nuclear blast could indeed knock out a lot of communications via its electromatic pulse - basically a huge power surge induced by the fireball.

A dirty bomb could only knock out communications to the extent that its conventional component physically destroys communication lines, antennas, etc - it has no electromagnetic pulse. However if its radiation was high-level enough it might render some areas temporarily uninhabitable, which could disrupt the restoration of services.

I detest wasting taxpayer money on space programs. I loathe it and abhor it. If people want to do space research, let private companies and individuals fund it.
There is so much that is absolutely necessary to spend OUR tax money on. The space program is a giant black hole sucking money.

The Chilling Goal of Islam's New Warriors

Inspired by Success Against the Soviets
Virtually all of the private armies in Pakistan, the only Muslim country created solely to preserve a religious identity, are offshoots of groups launched with the help of Pakistani intelligence during the Soviet occupation of neighboring Afghanistan in the 1980s. But they weren't disbanded after Moscow's 1989 withdrawal. Inspired by Islam's role in defeating a superpower, their mission and numbers expanded rapidly. The impoverished South Asian nation is now home to at least 128 camps for militants dedicated to retrieving Kashmir and widening the Islamic world. Once the militants were proxies of the government. Now, even the new military regime is unable or unwilling to rein them in.

"If the government tried to stop us, we'd just carry on our jihad. We do what we want," said Abu Samara. In Pakistan, Abu Samara operates out of a secluded compound run by the Center for Islamic Teaching and Guidance, or Markaz al Dawa Wal Irshad, in the countryside beyond Muridke, a half-hour's drive from Lahore. It's one of a growing number of Jihadi camps throughout Pakistan that offers both religious and military training. The center is a tranquil compound tightly guarded by the Army of the Prophet, the group's armed wing formed in 1993. "Jihad for Peace" is crudely slopped on the entrance wall in English.

Inside are training fields, obstacle courses and tightropes strung treacherously high between trees to train Jihadis how to cross Kashmir's rivers and ravines. To qualify, militants as young as 12 must be able to carry another fighter across the high wire. There are no safety nets. The compound is self-sustaining: Wheat fields, orchards, a dairy and man-made lakes to cultivate fish surround small apartment blocks. The extensive facilities include a clinic, grammar and secondary schools, an Islamic university, homes for families of those who died for the cause, a mosque and barracks for fighters.

There's no entertainment, however. Fighters are instructed to smash television sets owned by their families before joining, since anyone unwilling to comply is also unlikely to forfeit his life for the jihad. Long rows of large tents quarter new trainees who've exceeded both the compound's limits and the expectations of its 2,200 recruiting stations. The Center for Islamic Teaching and Guidance was founded in 1986 by Hafez Sayeed, a senior Muslim scholar whose white hair and beard are dyed a deep rust by henna, in keeping with Pakistani tradition. Sayeed cultivates volunteers, most between the ages of 12 and 15, steeps them in Islam, arranges their training in guerrilla warfare and then dispatches them to fight.

'We Want One System in the Whole World'
His description of the movement's goals sounds benign enough. "We're Muslims, and we believe Islam is more than a few rituals. It's a religion of peace with solutions to all of today's political and economic problems. It's important for us to spread that message because we want one system in the whole world, which, of course, is Islam. And to make Islam dominant, we must do jihad," Sayeed explained. "Today, Western systems are dominant, but they've failed to deliver, so people are returning to divine systems." Sayeed's center, one of the largest and most important of the camps, has produced more than 3,000 Muslim preachers and scholars as well as dozens of spinoff religious schools.

But the center's lofty ambitions sound less benign on an evolving set of Web sites it has launched in recent years, the most recent of which is http://www.markazdawa.org/. "The Islamic ruling system does away with all nationalities, tribalistic bonds and races and melts them into Islam," boasted a previous site. "Under the Islamic ruling system, foreign policy is tied with jihad, conquest and the spread of Islam. It destroys borders and physical barriers to lead humanity from worshiping each other to worshiping the Lord of humanity." Islam also has its "own rules" regarding individual rights, it added, "in contrast to Western notions of freedom and liberties."

Easy there on that one JP. There is a method to this madness in reference to a station on the moon. This has to do with homeland defense.

"Fighters are instructed to smash television sets owned by their families before joining,..."

Of course, it all makes sense now. THAT's why all those ME women are at Goodwill buying TVs. No use buying a new flat-screen when your 14 year old is just gonna smash it to bits in a couple of years...
