KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

LOL!

Okay, passing on the laugh break... we could all use one, I think.

Gold has slightly gone up to $393 but the dollar took a sudden fall to $88.13.

this is not terror related. The electric grid on long island is a mess - and that idiot Spencer Abraham didn't fight to keep the power cable from Connecticut online. No one will give this "drill" a moment's thought on long island - its becoming one of those places of fantasy where liberals just think electricity comes out of the air, that you don't actually need generation plants. they want to put windmills in off the south shore now, that's their latest crazy idea.

The Arabic shows American in the context of a proper noun, as opposed to an adjective. To me it looks like they are threatening American Airlines and other western airlines.

They are also threatening compounds and transportation systems, as well as military bases. By compounds they are refering not just to residential complexes like the Oasis Resort, but hotels and other similar facilities.

HMMMMMM

Never a dull moment!

Thanks.

[Letitring]

I dunno anymore, JP.

[Velveeta]

LOL, thanks. I know, I for one, needed the chuckle.

[Letitring]

Thanks Selene for posting this. I didn't mean to leave us hanging about this England thing. I try to keep an eye out for news from there because that's where this thing (?) is supposed to start? :)

I don't know how to read this, just passing on the info. :)

Stolie, I read that threat somewhere here. It probably was as you describe. I can't find it on any of the Australian news sources I check, but I don't check them all. I'll look about afterwhile and see what else I can find.

[Velveeta]

That's quite a drop on the dollar.

No, it was a squirell this time, thought the transformer was where he had hid his winter stash of nuts.

[Letitring]

Ummmmm.

It appears to me that this threat is warning Muslims in Saudi Arabia to stay away from Westerners, where they live and their means of transportation.

They want to disrupt oil operations in Saudi Arabia, and purge the area of any Westerners. They are trying to avoid killing Muslims in the process.

[Lijahsbubbe]

Thank you for the article.

[Bethshaya]

I dont mind them making the power plants, they just stupidly decided to put the nuclear power plant up within a 20 mile radius of 50% of the entire US population.

One "accident" and millions of people get it from NYC, Long Island, New Jersey and most of Connecticut.

Seems they could've put it in a less population dense area

[Letitring]

Thank you for the information. We appreciate all input. :)
