"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"

Two Chinese diplomats, away from their Los Angeles consulate improperly, recently sped their vehicle past a Los Alamos National Laboratory guard post near classified facilities in what U.S. officials think was an intelligence mission, The Washington Times has learned.

Thank you StillProud2BeFree for that info.

Has anyone seen or heard from Kim Jong Il since the train explosion?

[texasbluebell]

Somebody posted this link the other day, maybe you did. Hope truckers are signing up for it.

Woke to hear of two more killed today in Iraq, continuing bloodshed in Indonesia, new fighting in Nigeria, and the ongoing troubles you referenced in Kashmir. T.S. Eliot was precient in many of his poems.

Just two weeks ago saw a BBC report about how the newfound religous amicability was playing in Ambon. Oh, well.

And don't forget the new front of islam - THailand. Another border turns bloody.

London Terrorist Attack Will `Eventually' Occur, Mayor Says
April 30 (Bloomberg) -- A terrorist attack in London will happen ``eventually,'' according to the city's mayor, Ken Livingstone.

Security in the U.K. capital, home to more than 7 million people, has been stepped up since the Sept. 11 2001 terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. Baggage checks at airports are tighter and undercover police have been placed on London's underground train network amid concerns of a terrorist attack.

Just started trying to catch up. Any imminent threats?

Selene- Greetings! 05-04-04 does have that certain ring to it, doesn't it.

Recall those statements were were reading some time ago, where the jihadi's kept repeating- and 04 and 04 etc.

04 comes up quite a bit in many of their threats, it seems.

Thailand? Did you say Thailand? Have you seen this one?

Thai Muslim Soccer Team Turned Militant Overnight

The shooting of an entire team of 19 soccer players from the same Muslim village in southern Thailand after they attacked a security checkpoint has left relatives stunned, mystified and outraged. ......

Three days after defending their annual county soccer title, the "All Stars" team of Baan Susoe village near the Malaysian border mounted nine motorcycles and rode 23 km (15 miles) through the night to launch a dawn attack on a security checkpoint.

They planned to steal weapons from the soldiers, local people said, but armed only with machetes against the automatic rifles of Thai troops who had already been tipped off, they didn't stand a chance. Five members of the security forces were killed.

One of the youths, who were all aged between 19 and 26, managed to strike a soldier with his blade. The rest were all shot dead before they even got close.

Total Lunar eclipse brings to mind that picture of OBL transposed on the night moon. Not good.

Re- Mexico declaring a state of alert regarding 59 cases of measles? Does that truly make any sense? When I was growing up, everyone got measles at one time or another. At times, large numbers of children were out of school at the same time. 59 cases seems rather minor.

>>relatives stunned, mystified and outraged. ......


Shouldn't have done it, the stupid pucks. Don't bring machetes to a Thai shootout. You think all they're good for is great food and sexy women?

The general disobeyed the pols and launched the assault on the mosque where the jihadis were hiding anyway when the pols wanted to negotiate. BBC TV report.

The lunar eclipse won't even be visible in North America. It will be optimally visible in the middle east. I'm sure that doesn't matter to the terrorist nutballs. Any excuse to attack is good enough.

[texasbluebell]

I'm glad to see someone was thinking clearly, certainly many politicians are not.

[jerseygirl]

I tend toward the latter explanation. When the accidents are discussed, it seems the truckers report being cut off.

And, if/when the accident is reported- the information about the driver(s) of the cars is inconsistent and contradictory at times.

[swarthyguy]

Wait, there's more. He has been transferred to a remote northern province. Gutless pols.

Was it something like Serenaya?
