WASHINGTON (CNN) -- This week's deadly train bombings in Spain will not lead to a rise in the U.S. color-coded terror threat alert system, a Department of Homeland Security spokesman said Friday.

"Based on the current intelligence, we have no specific indicators that terrorist groups are considering such an attack in the U.S. in the near term," said department spokesman Brian Roehrkasse.

"Americans hired him to overthrow Obiang."

The message that I get from this one, is that it will also e found on a 'communist/democratic', Talking points of the day website. (try kerry).

This is the kind of stuff that the liberals are pushing, America is evil, we are war mongers, we only want oil and to take over other countries.

Should I say here that I don't know enough about the country to be entitled to an opinion?

Go to the commie sites and you will find this over and over again, almost word for word.

If you want a good list of commie sites, that have this kind of message, go to google and search for: etext.org

Choose the second link for: Other links and you will be in commie heaven.......and in some good sites, that is how I found the blackmask.com site, it is ebooks, all the old ones and some that are not so old, there is so much there and I don't have the eyes to read them.

Welcome virtude.

[judicial meanz]

Apparently they are two distinct events. The one I was referring to was a re-translation of a previous message released today.

Your report was a videotape of Bin Laden released today as well.

Now there seems to be a third tape claiming responsibility for the Spain attacks.

Busy day for Al Qaeda's PR section.

Good catch Tex!

Alleged Bin Laden Message Calls for Jihad Council
Sat Mar 13, 2004 02:23 PM ET

DUBAI (Reuters) - Hitherto unreported parts of a message said to come from Osama bin Laden urge Islamic clerics and leaders to form a council to rally and arm Muslims for holy war against the West, an Islamic Web site reported on Saturday.

Al Jazeera television had in January aired parts of an audio tape that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency said was "likely" from bin Laden, leader of al Qaeda network. The Dirasat Web site carried the full text.

The message said the proposed council should help Muslim fighters obtain light arms, rocket propelled grenades and anti-tank mines.

"Scholars, influential leaders and merchants should meet in a safe place, far from the shadow of the tyrannical (Arab) regimes, and form a council to fill the void created by the toppling of these regimes or by their mental incapacity," the message said.

"Its priorities will be to unite Muslims, defend Islam, prepare for jihad and facilitate movement of weapons," it said, adding that the body could start on a small scale and then grow when circumstances were right.

Like the audio tape, the text urged Muslims to fight U.S. forces occupying Iraq.

"I call on the sons of Islam to isolate their leaders who relied on the unjust and to set up a strong and faithful leadership to defend Islam in these dire times," it said.

"The occupation of Iraq is only a link in the evil Zionist-crusader chain, then comes the occupation of the rest of the Gulf states ahead of enforcing hegemony and control of the whole world," said the message, addressed to the Muslim nation.

Bin Laden is being hunted by the United States for masterminding the September 11, 2001 attacks on U.S. cities.

Al Qaeda says the U.S.-led war on terror is a "crusade against Islam."

Thanks Donna for the link.

[Domestic Church]

I don't think Cuba has to use ships.

[virtude]

"One other note, if ketchup boy kerry wins the WH, we will be attacked again on US soil. The guys a moron and a traitor who doesn't have the sense God gave a rock. I don't trust him."

You know, you may be right. These islamists are good at sensing weak leadership and tend to attack those countries during weak leadership.

[nw_arizona_granny]

Welcome Virtude,

We need all the thinkers that we can find, please join us.

Really, it is or to belong to the group and wear clothes, I do, 2 layers all winter.......But will soon start shedding them. Yes, this old body even scares the cats.

Where are you located?

The entire group is the "In Group", well except for us horses, guess that I am lucky that a picture of a jackass wasn't used instead of the horse.

Hugs,

Purported Al Qaeda Tape Warns of More Bloodshed

Sat Mar 13, 2004 07:31 PM ET

MADRID (Reuters) - A video tape purportedly from al Qaeda said the Islamic militant group bombed Madrid trains in retaliation for Spain's cooperation with President Bush and his allies.

A transcript of the video taped statement was released early on Sunday by Spain's Interior Ministry. "If you don't stop your injustices more blood will flow and these attacks are very little compared with what may happen with what you call terrorism," it said.

Interior Minister Angel Acebes said Spain was examining the tape's reliability and said it should be treated with caution. (Reporting by Adrian Croft; editing by Diana Abdallah; madrid.newsroom@reuters.com; Reuters Messaging: daniel.trotta.reuters.com@reuters.net; +34 91 585 8295))

From post #115 - "We also would like to tell Abu Ali al-Harithi Squad the leadership has decided that Yemen would be the third quagmire for the idol of the time, America, and to teach the government which comes second only to (Pakistani president) Musharraf, in treason and infidelity, a lesson."

I think Yemen is next.

I think the order is: 1)Italians (Nasyria); 2)Madrid, 3-11, and 3)Yemen. Could be wrong though.

[virtude]

"I think that Italy would also be weak, in terms of security and in terms of popular willingness to stand up to an attack."

I agree in terms of security, but not of willingness of the people. Their weakest point in terms of security lies in their geography - too much coastline and two major islands to protect..

[virtude]

"N45 W15 puts in the Atlantic off the northwest coast of Spain." = Britain or France?

"N45 E15 puts it on the coast of Croatia, right around Senj." = this is definitely Italy.

[MamaDearest]

Okay, I exaggerated a little about my myself. Gollum is a boy. If you put a dishwater blonde wig (hair slanted long in front) and green eyes with a very light complexion on Gollum, THAT would be me. Now are you happy?

I've watched the info on the American guy and gal that the Iraqi police shot to death. I can't get it out of my mind how these savages can kill Americans so readily who were there solely to help them.

[knak]

thanks cindy

[milkncookies]

Italy will be next I believe. They began with our weakest ally, Spain.
After Italy, our strongest ally, Britain, will be their next target. Then... the U.S.
This strategy has been discussed on several jihad websites over the last couple of years as a strategy of "softening" support for "The Great Satan" prior to their attack on us.

[rickylc]

What I want to know is when are any of these weasle Eurotrash going to stand up against these thugs?

Please don't attack us most terrible AQ, we really didn't help nearly as much as the Spanish, please please...

Sickening.

[liberallyconservative]

Just posted regarding AQ's reasoning and agenda (as if we haven't already surmised most of it here). I know, I know, it's DEBKA, but read it. It's pretty spot on with what we've already been saying.

Those sites do seem to suggest Italy next, then Japan. The UK would be hit slightly before their attempt on the US.
