SANAA, Yemen, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A purported statement by al-Qaida in Yemen warned Saturday of a "major strike" soon in the United States.

The statement, distributed by the Yemeni Tagamoo Party for Reforms, said: "A major strike, a big event will take place in America soon," reminiscent of the Sept. 11 attacks.

With all due respect to all from Thread1 Thread2, and the chat thread in between.

With all due respect. Even though I will post this I expect because I post it, it will be ignored. Such is life.

I would suggest if you are to go on with the ilk of the nature herein, continuing the threads before.The theme be a title of renown.

A title without any glorification to any group, or individual of terror or terror related activities.

A title reflecting the group, and the members of the groups' endowments, hopes, and wishes.

Explosion Rocks Moscow Subway

Friday, February 06, 2004

MOSCOW — An explosion hit the Moscow (search) metro during Friday rush hour, killing 22 people and injuring 30, Interfax reports, citing fire officials. A severe fire broke out in the train and passengers were being evacuated from the Avtozavodskaya station, ministry spokesman Viktor Beltsov (search) said.

He could not confirm that the cause or give any further details about the number of victims. He said that rescuers were already on the site, and numerous ambulances could be seen outside the station entrance.

Russian prosecutors said they could not rule out terrorism, but that it was too early to say definitively. President Vladimir Putin (search) was informed.

The explosion occurred in the second wagon of a train after it left the Paveletskaya station near the center of the Russian capital and headed southeast to Avtozavodskaya station, the news agency Interfax reported, citing emergency officials.

The train wagon was badly damaged, according to Interfax and ITAR-Tass.

Police immediately barricade the two metro stations and stopped all traffic on the metro, clogging up the capital's streets.

The Russian capital has been on alert for terrorist attacks following a series of homicide bombings that officials have blamed on Chechen rebels.

In December, a female homicide bomber blew herself up outside the National Hotel across from Moscow's Red Square, killing at least five others. Two homicide bombers blew themselves up at a Moscow rock concert in July, killing themselves and 14 other people. That was followed five days later by an aborted homicide bomb attack at a central Moscow restaurant that killed the sapper trying to defuse the bomb. The suspected attacker was arrested and is currently awaiting trial.

In August 2000, a bomb exploded at a crowded pedestrian underpass filled with kiosks at Pushkin Square, a popular meeting place located near a metro line. The attack was initially blamed on Chechen rebels, but some police later said that a turf battle between rival businessmen or criminal gangs could have been the motive.

I'm OVER the empty threat bu**sh*t.

Right, it's all smoke and mirrors, AQ have all taken to gardening, the radical Muslims have converted to become Buddhists, and we are out of all danger. Great!

Howabout the "The Analyst's Couch." We are all analyzing this situation and it helps us to deal with it.

How about "Kuffar Korner" (or is it Kaffir, or Kafir?) We can all grab a team sweatshirt from Internet-Haganah.

Our ash grey Hanes Ultimate Cotton Pullover Hood says KUFFAR("Infidel" in Arabic) with a small transliteration.

I've heard that Kaffir can be taken as a derogatory term toward black people in general in some parts of Africa. But then I went to this site and now I am all confused.

CNN is reporting that Russian authorities think the bombing might be the work of a female suicide bomber. Does anyone remember the theater takeover in Moscow a year or two ago? One thing I vividly remember from that was images of the dead female jihadis that were gassed. They were fully strapped and ready to kill. If I remember correctly, Russia has been having problems with Chechen Muslim rebels. This is probably more of the same. You have to feel sorry for the poor innocents that died today on that subway.

[thecabal]

I've always heard that it was an Arabic epithet meaning "infidel". I wasn't aware it was a slur agains black people in South Africa as well. That page you linked to is wrong about one thing. I'm pretty sure that Christians and Jews are considered kuffars. I don't buy into that "people of the book" BS they try to peddle.

There's a large terrorist attack in Russia, and what are the news channels drooling over? Martha Stewert, John Kerry, and Janet Jackson. I get sick of this crap sometime.

Maybe you could repost your ricin list on this thread. I still do not think we've heard the last of this story and that there is more to this ricin scare than we know. First of all, the CT powder and the Florida powder showed up simultaneously with the DC ricin. This would tend to rule out a copy cat. It’s rather coincidental that all has been quiet on the bio front until suddenly 3 or 4 suspicious packages show up in a 24 hour period. It’s like a re-run of ’01. Also, I found an article in the Guardian from as recent as January 12 which discusses that the French police were convinced that their country was the target of a planned chemical or bio attack by an Islamist cell linked to al-Qaida. From the article:

“An interior ministry official said evidence from Islamist militants arrested in the Lyon area last week made it "very plain" that an attack with the deadly botulism or ricin toxins was being actively prepared.”
