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.

abbi_normal_2 thanks for post regarding the Autrailian zip code. I did a google search on 4515 Queensland, Austraila, islam and came up with nothing. I then did a search several other ways, but in the process i noticed that Laskar showed up in Austrailia, so I then did a search on Laskar 4515 and here we go. Do any of you think that the Canberra authorities need to be alerted. Do we have any Austrailian freepers.

JAKARTA (JP): A sweep of immigration records uncovered 10 Indonesians with suspected links to the Jamaah Islamiyah group who had been living in Australia seeking asylum, though most have now left, AP reported.
"We have found 10 who made some reference in their claims (for asylum) that have linked them either to Jamaah Islamiyah or affiliated organizations. However, of those only three are now still in the country," Steve Ingram, a spokesman for Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock, said Friday.
On Wednesday, Ruddock ordered a probe into whether any Indonesians were granted refugee status in Australia during the 1990s because they claimed they were persecuted for membership in "extremist Islamic groups such as JI".
Ingram said of the three remaining in Australia, checks by immigration officials showed two were here illegally because their visas had expired, while a third had a valid visa.
The whereabouts of the three were not known. Once found, the two with expired visas will likely be deported. It was not immediately clear what would happen to the person with the valid visa.
Immigration and security officials were investigating all 10 people.
Australia has conducted raids on several homes of Indonesian Muslim. The government had complained Australia for "heavy-handed measures" during the raids.

In the name of God, Merciful and Merciful,
When they punish to you, you must punish in the same way to those who punished to you.
Mátalos there where you find them; expúlsalos as they expelled to you; the sedition is more serious than the murder. To that they commit aggressions against you, you must do to them the same.
OPERATION TRAINS OF DEATH
The brigades of Abu Hafs to the Masri promised in their last official notice referring to the explosions of Kerbala and Bagdad of the 2 of March of 2004 that were prepared for next operations and we have fulfilled our promise: the death squad has been able to break into the defense of the European Crossed one, striking to one of the pillars of Crossed and the its allies: Spain, with a painful blow. It is part of an old adjustment of accounts with Crossed Spain, ally of (North) America in his war against the Islam.
Where is America, Aznar? Who will protect of us you to you, to Great Britain, to Italy, to Japan and other agents? When we already struck the Italian troops in Naseriya we sent to the agents of America a warning: retiraros of the alliance against the Islam. But you did not understand the message.
Now we put the points on the íes. We hoped that you understand the message. We in the Brigades of Abu Hafs to the Masri did not become sad by the death of civilians. He is legitimate that they kill our children, women, old, young in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and Kashmir, whereas he is sinned that we kill them? All-powerful God says that "to which agreden to you, you must attack them".
Sacadnos the hands of above, you release our prisoners and you leave our earth, we will leave you peacefully.
The towns of the allies of the United States must force their governments to finish that alliance in the war against the terrorism, that means war against the Islam. If you stop the war, we will stop ours.
We say to you: the Swarm of the Smoke of Death will reach you soon in a site where you will be able to see thousands dead, if God wants, and this is a warning.
We say to the Muslims worldwide that the gust of Winds of the Black Death already is in its final phase, in a ninety percent, if God wants, at its appropriate moment.
In another operation, the Swarms of the Soldiers of Jerusalem struck to the Jews and masones in Istambul, and three important masones died in that operation, and if not outside by a technical failure, all masones would have died.
We say to the Bilal Swarm ibn Rabah that we have accepted the supply, and after the arrival of the delegate, the action will begin.
And we say to the Swarm Abu Ali to the Harfi that the leadership (of Al Qaida) has decided to consider Yemen the third pantanal, and to give a lesson to its Government apostate who comes just after Pervez Musharraf. For that reason, all the cells must be alert and the action will begin in 4515.
And we say to which kills to ulemas Muslim suníes in Iraq which they raise the hands, or otherwise....
Warning to the nations: you do not approach Crossed the civilian or military facilities of American or the its allies.
God is Great, God is Great. The Islam already arrives.

That I am well aware of.
From what I have been finding a "suppression coil" is a component that suppresses voltage fluctuations. It seems that the one you show is for computers and maybe laptops. I also thought that it could be for cell phones.
Considering that they think the train bomb in Madrid was remotely detonated by cell phones...this could be a hint to jihad members.
Selene...obsession is good...you are finding obscure links that others may not have found.

Published: Mar 23, 2004 JERUSALEM (AP) - Israel will try to kill the entire leadership of Hamas without waiting for another attack by the militant group, security sources said Tuesday, citing a decision made by Israeli security chiefs following the assassination of Hamas' founder.
The killing of Sheik Ahmed Yassin on Monday threatened to escalate three and a half years of Israel-Palestinian fighting. Fearing revenge attacks, Israel beefed up security throughout the country and at its missions abroad. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians thronged the streets of Gaza City for Yassin's funeral procession Monday, and Hamas threatened punishing revenge attacks against Israel. It also hinted for the first time that the United States could become a target for backing Israel.
Hamas, founded by Yassin in 1987, wants to destroy Israel and replace it with an Islamic state. Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz said Monday that Hamas killed 377 Israelis and wounded more than 2,000 in hundreds of attacks.
Despite the outpouring of rage, Israeli security chiefs decided during a five-hour meeting Monday to step up targeted attacks, the security sources said, speaking on condition of anonymity. They said officials decided to go after the entire Hamas leadership, without waiting for another attack by the militant group.
A decision in principle on targeting top Hamas officials was first made last week by Israel's Cabinet, in response to a double suicide bombing on an Israeli seaport. In Monday night's session, the security chiefs reaffirmed the direction.
Israel's army chief also suggested Tuesday that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah could eventually be assassinated by Israel. "I think that their (Arafat's and Nasrallah's) responses yesterday show that they understand that it is nearing them," Yaalon said. "In the long term, I hope that this will be a sign to all those who choose to hurt us that this will be their end," Yaalon said.
Arafat's aides said Monday that the Palestinian leader was concerned he could now be in Israel's crosshairs. It was not clear what response by Nasrallah the army chief was referring to.
Late Monday, Hamas' leaders appeared in public at a mass mourning ceremony at Gaza's Yarmouk stadium, apparently believing that they were safe in such a public setting. Hamas leaders often hide underground when tensions are high with Israel.
Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia headed to Gaza on Tuesday to pay his condolences to Hamas. He was to attend a ceremony at the stadium later in the day.
The Palestinian Authority declared three days of mourning and stores throughout the West Bank and Gaza Strip were closed Tuesday. Hamas is the biggest rival to the authority, but Palestinian leaders treat the movement with respect because of its popularity.
Security chiefs are closely watching to see who fills the political vacuum caused by Yassin's death. At least initially, hardliner Abdel Aziz Rantisi, has emerged as a Hamas strongman. Rantisi, a 54-year-old pediatrician who escaped an Israeli assassination attempt last June, opposes even a temporary truce with Israel.
Ismail Hanieh, a top Yassin aide, said Hamas took a blow to morale, but would continue carrying out attacks on Israel. "Sheik Yassin's death is not going to harm or affect the movement. It's going to give us encouragement to go ahead with our program to achieve our goal," Hanieh said....
