Probably: Someone wore too much Chanel #5.

I was checking around to see if a 1 kiloton nuke would be backpack,suitcase, or other. This was from Jill St. Claire- on the HomelandSecurityUS.com site.
"The backpack nuke weapon and suitcase nukes are not the same
.
Suitcase Nukes
Suitcase nuclear bombs are much larger than backpack nukes.
The suitcase bomb is as "large as two footlockers, has dimensions of approximately 24"x16"x8, a yield of one kiloton, and are difficult to set up.
"A small current of power is needed to store the weapon safely near its detonation site. This means that the operator of the weapon would need to run a fine wire up to a power pole. The wire is so fine that if discovered and someone tried to walk back to the source, it would break. The Soviets had programmed these weapons to the point that if the battery was running low, a signal would be sent to a Soviet satellite or the nearest consulate, and if tampered with, the nuclear weapons disabled
Former Soviet military intelligence officer, Stanislav Lunev has confirmed that the Soviets had even made small nuclear weapons "that look like rocks".
If you have reached this point, you are still wondering how this all ties in to bin Laden and Al Qaeda, correct? Please read on

Nuclear Suitcase Bombs Missing In Russia
Al-Watan al-Arabi, an Arabic language newspaper well organized terrorists smuggled nuclear warheads out of Russian territory via secret routes through Uzbekistan. These warheads were said to have been bought with opium and cash from the Russian Mafia..
In Uzbekistan, Soviet scientists removed the active uranium and placed it in backpack-sized nuclear bombs for transportation to the West, undetected.
Sources say that bin Laden has used two tons of Afghanistan opium and $ 30 million cash to buy over 20 nuclear warheads. He has hired rogue nuclear scientists working underground at a base to convert these warheads to backpack size nukes that he can distribute all over the world. Analysts believe that he would use them, See more about this at www.newsmax.com/hottopics/Al-Qaeda.shtml other links will be listed at the end.
The public first knew the version that I am talking about in 1997. One of these bombs has an explosive charge equivalent to a thousand pounds of TNT. To give you an idea of the impact of one of these bombs hitting Manhattan, look at this diagram below and the areas it would affect. Please also note that the winds could carry the nuclear fallout all over New York City and parts of New Jersey within hours."
"In Uzbekistan, Soviet scientists removed the active uranium and placed it in backpack-sized nuclear bombs for transportation to the West, undetected.
Could this be the reason for the Russian nuke threats? If AQ does what it wants to do, they would ultimately be responsible.

This is new from Jill's site- it sounds like AQ is admitting that we killed their three leaders.
You kill Osama today
And Al-Zawaheri tomorrow
And the sheikh is Yassin after tomorrow
And all resistance symbols
But you will not kill this religion
And a leader will come you as Qutuz, your end is on its hand, and the history will not mention you except in the lions of its surfaces
You read the date O he dominated it
Read you the succession of night and daytime
You read the companions of the cave story, and how Allah replaces the matters and the states
You read with me this advisable text to Jamal Addin Al Afghani
The crisis bears the resolution, and the matter does not broaden except if he became narrow, and the dawn light does not appear except after the deep darkness, the Orient night was about that he ends, in it the matters have darkened, and is not after this narrowness except the relief, the Allah's Sunna in its creature is !!!!!"
Yes she is the Allah's Sunna
A Wwallh Allah has been about that he folds this world as the fold of the record of the newspapers
And I do not think the enabling therefore the religion by a distant
And Allah will torture you by our hands or by other than us hands to what spoiled in the land with the permissibility of the sex, and the weak nations theft and the killing of the innocents, and the attack on the creator in the means of your information
He saves you from needy

http://politics.guardian.co.uk/foreignaffairs/story/0,11538,1178412,00.html MI6 and Tripoli to share information on al-Qaida
Nicholas Watt in Tripoli
Friday March 26, 2004
The Guardian
Britain and Libya are to swap sensitive intelligence on al-Qaida suspects as they intensify their co-operation in the war against terrorism in the wake of Tony Blair's historic handshake yesterday with Colonel Muammar Gadafy.
MI6 agents, who played a pivotal role in persuading Tripoli to abandon its nuclear and chemical weapons, are to work alongside their Libyan counterparts to stamp out al-Qaida's north Africa network.
The new co-operation was hailed by Mr Blair yesterday as a sign of the success of his carrot and stick approach to foreign policy, which persuaded Col Gadafy to begin disarming last December. Speaking after nearly two hours of talks in the Libyan leader's tent on the outskirts of Tripoli, the prime minister praised Col Gadafy for his "historic decision".
"I was particularly struck by Col Gadafy's insistence not only of Libya's determination to carry on down this path of co-operation but also his recognition that Libya's own future is best secured by a new relationship with the outside world and the recognition also of a common cause with us in the fight against al-Qaida extremism and terrorism which threatens not just the west but Arab nations too," he said.
Diplomats accompanying Mr Blair said that the Libyans have been handing over intelligence about an al-Qaida offshoot - the Libyan Islamic Fighters Group. "The Libyans obviously have intelligence that we would never be able to lay our hand on," a diplomatic source said. This information will be passed to US intelligence.
The process is two-way. It is understood that Sir Richard Dearlove, the head of MI6, has travelled to Tripoli to meet his Libyan counterpart, Musa Kusa, to discuss the dismantling of Libya's banned weapons and the fight against terrorism.
Libya made clear that it warmly welcomes the chance to join forces with Britain to tackle al-Qaida, a point reinforced by Col Gadafy when he had a lengthy discussion with Mr Blair about September 11 and its aftermath.
But Tripoli could not resist pointing out that it had identified the threat posed by Osama bin Laden when the west was arming his fighters in the war against Soviet forces in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
Abdulrahman Shalgam, the Libyan foreign minister, said: "When we started speaking about terrorism in the 1980s and 1990s some countries in America and Europe were supporting these people. At the time we spoke about Bin Laden and others - and we considered them terrorists."
But Mr Shalgam said it was time to work together to defeat al-Qaida, which tried to assassinate Col Gadafy in 1998.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that You continue to restrain mankind, by the Power of the Holy Spirit, from reigning death and destruction upon the whole world. And You will continue to do so until the last believer is taken from the earth. Thank You, Merciful Father, for the presence of believers and for the power of prayer before the Throne of Grace. As the clamor of the unrighteous becomes increasingly shrill, may it be that our voices will multiply before the Throne of Grace, that we might be that hedge around our beloved families and communities and nation and the world.
We confess, O God, to discouragement ... it is far easier to listen to the loud voice than it is to hear the One that is still and small. Give to us places of quiet that we can withdraw, that we might be renewed and refreshed ... that we might pray for those who defend us on foreign soil. How loving our President that he would choose the battlefield away from our homeland, and yet You have given victory in our security, as well as liberation to millions. Protect each one no matter where the service ... surround them with the power of Your presence. Open the eyes of those blinded by the god of this age ... let them see the mighty things You have wrought. Pierce the hearts of those who choose evil ... empower Your messengers of Truth, that Your word would penetrate the darkest heart and mind. Stem the flow from the blood of innocents, but wash the multitudes in the already shed blood of the Lamb, for therein is the peace and security for which all of mankind cries.
"But I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded, that He is able, to keep that which I've committed unto Him, against that day." 2Timothy 1:12
Hear our prayer, O Lord ... hear our prayer, O Lord, incline thine ear to us, and grant us thy peace ... Amen
May the peace of Jerusalem be within Your beloved city this night ...

Just a guess on my part, but sounds like amatuer astronomers communicating...SNOWBALL is basically what a comet is; a huge, dirty snowball. Keep in mind, the planetary alignment everyone is buzzing about happens several times in one lifetime. And we are still here! Underground shelters of massive proportions were built by many nations during the Cold War, fitted with every technological luxury. (No need to hide in wet, cold and dark caves.)
The cavers currently 'lost' I imagine, would have supplies with them, food and lamps, even dry clothes...(I am an optimist.)
None the less, islam has absorbed ancient ME astrological/astronomcial history; when once upon a time, approx 1.500 years BC a catastrophe of a celestial nature (comet strike?) caused earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and tidal waves. Volcanoes on the arabian peninsula are less than 4.000 years of age, although they are classified as extinct.
Try this site;
http://home.att.net/~qata/tadra.htm "Where a Planetary Bolt Struck the Ground" tells an interesting tale:
http://www.varchive.org/itb/bolts.htm I understand islam is waiting for 'allah' to stage a repeat performance. However, I gain comfort from the knowledge that should a rock from heaven strike again, they are in the same 'boat' we are!

Now, let's go back to the guy taking pictures of the BASF plant in Freeport. They haven't found him yet. It does seem as someone explained today on Fox that they would like to hit Bush in his home state like we hit them in Paki/Afgh.
BTW, we definitely need an alternate site to post if these problems with FR should ever happen again.

""Sources say this material has been moved to a secret place in Afghanistan where Al Qaidas nuclear scientists are working on it in the presence of Osama [bin Laden] and other prominent leaders," the report stated."Wow, that's a hard one to swallow. I would imagine just getting the material there without being spotted would be almost impossible. I can see old binnie hiding out in a cave somewhere. But, a nuclear lab and scientists, I don't think so.

From WICC.......I95 southbound.......tractor trailer exploded. Between exits 24 & 25. They can see the flames from their studio.
"Power surge hit neighboring towns."
"Power is out in bridgeport and fairfield."
So that´s why the lights flickered several times here. Still have power north of Bridgeport and Fairfield. Stay safe, Salatheel.
I called the Connecticut Post newsroom. The man who answered said a gas tanker ran off the highway, hit a building, and exploded. That´s all they know for now. He didn´t think any refinery had exploded.

**Channel 8 (there) is covering scene live now. Also CNN carrying story on banner now.
**That "...Fire still burning. Roadway buckled, part of northbound lane has collapsed. Tanker was carrying heating oil. Oil getting into Cedar Creek. Road will be closed at least for days, probably weeks."
**That the entire section on both sides will be closed for days.
**Another poster is saying the entire structure may collapse... that an oil fire shouldn't melt steel as this is doing. References to 9-11, etc.

Huge tanker accident has Route 95 closed
Email to a Friend Printer Friendly Version
(Fairfield-AP) -- Route 95 in Fairfield is closed both ways due to a rolled over tanker truck that crashed with two vehicles.
State police have shut down the highway southbound from exits 26 to 25 and northbound from exits 25 to 26.
A bystander to the scene says flames are shooting up to 50 feet in the air and licking a highway overpass.
He says several explosions were heard, and people were running from their cars to escape the flames.
