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.

Just going over the thread and it appears a lot is starting to happen again. I took a few days off to rest and get perspective.

Syria is another pressing area IMHO.

..even if we are spitting into the wind, I won't feel guilty knowing I tried when it all comes down like a house of cards.

If we are to be the customer base for these companies, they need to understand that when consumers have cash only to purchase goods at thrift shops, Walmart and the 99 cent stores, their product lines will have to be clearanced out in order to be sold.

For all the FReepers who wondered if it was time to do other things and wean themselves away from this thread, be aware our Pentagon thinks the situation is serious enough to issue "Escape Masks." Does that sound like things are winding down - or winding up?

Sad face noted. Sorry about that. My youngest had one also (past tense).

And another tape surfaces... reported today, Feb. 20th:


New Radical Islamic Terror Tape Surfaces (link to Al Qaeda)(Feb. 20)

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1082381/posts

WASHINGTON — A new videotape has surfaced on the Internet from a radical Islamic group claiming to be directly tied to Al Qaeda (search) in Iraq.

The tape, a chilling recruiting tool set to music, is seen as a call to terrorism by security experts. U.S. intelligence officials believe the tape to be legitimate.

US still on alert for big attack

"In these discussions, it was plain the US security advisers consider the continued threat from al-Qaida as credible," Mr Ruddock told Federal Parliament yesterday.

Ghias has not been charged with any crime. Do you suppose all passengers who were forced to return to the airport and replane for their destination were happy to hear no charges have been filed? Maybe I just expect too much from our authorities.

New number for BA flight 223
11.32PM, 20 Feb 2004


British Airways are changing the name of London to Washington flight 223, which has been repeatedly cancelled in recent weeks because of security fears.

The reason behind the change is to help restore passenger confidence.

"People associate the flight with delays and the potential for disruption even though it continues to run on schedule at the moment," said Paul Parry, a BA spokesman said.

"Customers told us this is the reason they are not booking the flight," he said, adding seat bookings are down.

As of March 28, it will be known as BA 293. The destination remains Dulles International Airport, but leaves five minutes earlier from London's Heathrow Airport at 1500 GMT, the spokesman said.

US negates reports on Osama's capture


Saturday, 21 February , 2004, 06:09

Washington: The US has scotched reports coming out of Pakistan that its forces have captured Osama bin Laden.
"That would be news to everybody in this room. No, I haven't heard anything - haven't heard anything like that," spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters at the White House here yesterday.

Asked to clarify what prompted President Pervez Musharraf to say a couple of weeks ago that Pakistani forces would have bin Laden by the year-end, the spokesman said, "I speak for the President. Obviously, I don't speak for President Musharraf."

As for whether the capture of bin Landen would signal the end of the war on terrorism, McClellan said the war on terrorism would continue. "And obviously, we have made significant progress in the war on terrorism. But as the President has said, this is something that is not going to be won overnight."

He pointed out that the US and its allies had already either "captured or otherwise gotten rid of two-thirds of the al Qaeda leadership and we continue to pursue other members of al Qaeda, including Osama bin Laden."

"We will find him [bin Laden] and we will bring him to justice. The President has been very clear on that."

Yes, I read that, too. I hope he got busted-rather than an alternative explanation that he decided to leave a targetted city.

DISCLAIMER, the above picture of the falcon has nothing to do with any of the terror messages. I'm just playing with StillProud as comic relief. That is a picture I took when it had it's breakfast in my backyard. Or will this get us moved to chat?

[StillProud2BeFree]

That Falcon is under arrest. I do not see a passport in its possession. I am making a citizens arrest. Please take that passport into custody immediately and turn him over to the Bureau of Immigration and Citizenship Services of the Department of Homeland Security.

Or are you going to tell me it's an Atlanta Falcon and as such it is native to this country? After all, you KNOW that there is a zero tolerance for illegal aliens errr undocumented immigrants errr what is the politically correct term for them tonight?

[Calpernia]

That heritage.org site has GREAT research on it.

[Calpernia]

Now that IS a creative idea! THANK YOU NW_AZ!!!

I found it interesting to note that this site is in English and has a SPANISH translation, not an arabic or jewish translation though.

Thanks for the alert!

"...but there is another country that may pose an even greater threat to the national security of the United States. Why? Because it has become a safe haven for about 50 terrorist organizations, including Al Qaeda. But we aren't talking about Syria, we are talking about Canada..."

That's no joke. Vancouver, Al-Qanada is a freaking muslim terrorist hotbed. I-5 South is a major pipeline for muslim terrorist distribution all up and down the corridor from Bellingham to Bly, OR.

I recently saw Daniel Pipes at the UBC. Various muslim and 'palestinian' terrorist organizations harangued Jews waiting to get in gauntlet-style for 30-40 minutes and were there screaming and chanting when it was over 90 minutes later.

Qanada is *&(&-ing arab/muslim terror supporting socialist nation.

Don't spend your US dollars there.

Not if they reinterpret his capture to be a sacrifice.
