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.

Hey, you know what? I think you stumbled onto something! I bet Sean is the "driving force" (to use your words) behind this whole terrorism charade! There is no threat, there are no terrorists, there are no missing nukes, September 11 never happened, it was all an illusion. All because of the one man you have become so fixated on. Now
I know why. It's his fault. Everyone here, except you of course, has been duped! Thank you Iron Eagle! Where is Sean Lomax? I think I'll give him a piece of my mind! By the way, I'll take two Super Tacos and a Dr. Pepper.

Especially if you live in Texas.

Sean sounded like a king of urban ledgens type. Some of his stuff was flat out weird. Then again, who knows...?

Like so many others, I am just waiting for more information. But make no mistake, something really, really, bad is going to happen, sometime. And when it does, you will have been warned. As Denis Miller says, "who knows, I could be wrong." Cheers

And a big "hello" to your daughter!

[milkncookies]

You're probably right. The report was vague at best. I'm sure we'll get more information in the near future.

[Labyrinthos]

You have no idea how hard I'm laughing right now. Of course, I'm doing it in my office with the lights off, door shut, and shades drawn because this is all supposed to be a big secret, right?

No doubt here it was nasal either...the kid sitting 3 feet behind my oldest was on the cruise. In my younger son's class(he was the first to come down with it in the family) it was a child sitting about 3 feet away to the side who was on the same cruise.

God Bless Danile Pearl. May he rest in peace.

"Could someone *really* be this dumb?"

Sadly, yes. I actually know a couple who took off from central Indiana, headed for Kansas, drove all day, and finally realized they were going the wrong way when they got to the Pennsylvania state line!

Amen.

Two Russian ICBMs misfire in war games overseen by Putin: reports

MOSCOW (AFP) Feb 17, 2004

Technical faults prevented two Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles from being fired Tuesday during training exercises in the Barents Sea observed by President Vladimir Putin, news agencies reported.

The missiles' launch was blocked by satellite following an unspecified fault during massive war games stages by Russia's Northern Fleet and oter branches of the military, the Interfax and RIA Novosti news agencies quoted military sources as saying.

Meanwhile the Gazeta.ru Internet news site reported that a test intercontinental ballistic missile misfired during a launch from a nuclear submarine as the Russian president watched on from the deck of another submarine.

It was not immediately clear if the conflicting, unconfirmed reports were referring to the same incident.

The Gazeta.ru report said the ICBM exploded shortly after takeoff. It did not mention any casualties and the navy press office refused to confirm the report.

The Russian navy's press office refused to comment on the reports.

If confirmed, the mishap threatens to embarrass Putin less than a month before the March 14 presidential election, which he is overwhelmingly expected to win.

In another public relations move aimed at boosting his tough-guy image, Putin set sail Tuesday in the Arctic seas on board a nuclear submarine after spending the night with the craft's crew.

He went off into the Barents Sea -- where the Kursk nuclear submarine sank in August 2000 and killed 118 seamen just months into Putin's first term as president -- Monday evening to oversee what have been advertised as some of the largest war games staged by Russia in recent years.

News reports said they included six submarines carrying nuclear weapons. Tu-95 strategic bombers were due to test fire cruise missiles Tuesday over the Kola Peninsula on the northwestern edge of Russia near the Finnish border.

ITAR-TASS reported that the games -- which were expected to last several weeks -- would involve some 5,000 servicemen.
