LUCKY THREAD NUMBER:

HOMELAND INSECURITY

Backup electrical systems failed to kick in

A mysterious power failure at Logan Airport that delayed dozens of flights for more than five hours has still not been explained – six days later.

Airport officials insist airline security was not compromised during the blackout Monday at Logan International's Terminal E, but backup electrical systems failed to kick in as they are programmed under such circumstances.

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

Here's the map, thanks go to HipShot for hosting it. Every town on the list below is on it except for Anchorage -- the list was posted earlier (I'm sorry I don't know who put the list together either).

I tried to get the dots as close as I could to the locations, hope it's good enough.

[texasbluebell]

Thanks for posting it, I didn't check the thread carefully enough!

[LayoutGuru2]

Yes, I believe you are correct. The protest in the picture are from the 9/28/2000 Temple Mount incident. He is a different account of the incident.

Yes, it's Tampa.

Here's the list, posted earlier by someone, and I'm sorry I don't know who. Only Anchorage didn't make it onto this map, for obvious reason...:

Underground Atlanta

``````````
Was the old train station in Atlanta and a very large one at that. It goes from 5 points in downtown all the way to the old location of the Omni International.

Oh the good ole days of being a teenager and Atlanta was our playground. Now I won't even go down there.

[Quix]

WONDERFUL. ABSOLUTELY GREAT. VERY HELPFUL. THANKS.

Am much more visual, I think. Patterns seem to jump out at me much more, that way.

Thanks much.

[ExSoldier]

Is it still against local law to carry a concealed firearm in Atlanta proper? Used to be this way, even if you had a Georgia "carry permit." My Florida CCW is supposed to be good in Georgia, and that's the only way I'd be out and about in Atlanta: Armed.

[WestCoastGal]

Since you're discussing these guys, do you all remember my search for Midhat Mursi aka abu Khabab?

He was supposed to also be entering the US via Mexico. But suddenly his name disappeared from the FBI most wanted list. There were rumors that he was captured.

Here is the story I saved, yes it is from Debka via Quayle but that's all there is............


Midaat Mursi: Dirty Bomber on the Loose



January 19, 2004

US intelligence agencies fighting al-Qaeda have launched a manhunt in the US, Mexico, Canada and elsewhere for Midaat Mursi, the Egyptian who, according to DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s counter-terror sources, is chairman of al-Qaeda’s WMD committee. He is believed to be traveling with one or two other people, carrying dirty bombs.

The exploits of Mursi, also known as Abu Khabab, and his companions are one of the main immediate triggers for the raising of the terror alert in the US from elevated (yellow) to high (orange) at the end of December. The alert was again lowered to yellow last week, but our terror experts say that this does not mean that the danger is gone. Rather, it means that the Americans are not sure these days whether Mursi is in North America, Europe or the Middle East.

But reports about him being sent by his commander, al-Qaeda’s number-two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, to carry out radioactive attacks in a big Western city are being confirmed by intelligence sources. To avoid jeopardizing the manhunt now in process, DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s counter-terror sources can’t reveal all the details about where this information comes from.

What we can say at this stage is that American special forces are engaged in a number of operations inside western Europe, Chechnya, and in Palestinian cities and refugee camps in the Middle East. In addition, for the first time, there have been secret raids inside the US itself.

These undercover operations have netted several dozen of Mursi’s collaborators and accomplices who were arrested and moved to undisclosed places where they are under interrogation. In the past few days, these interrogations have revealed more details about the radioactive attack that was planned for New Year’s Eve.

They have also produced evidence of Chechnyan and Palestinian involvement with al-Qaeda — the first direct link to be discovered between Chechnyan and Palestinian terrorists at the operational level.

On the WMD game since before 9/11

On November 17, 2001, DEBKAfile wrote in the article entitled Entire Taleban-al Qaeda heads for mountain refuge:

“Our intelligence and military experts also discount the ‘documents’ discovered in a base south of Kabul which claimed to bear instructions on how to build nuclear weapons and missiles. Crude red herrings, the instructions turn out to be translations of material available in any bookshop or internet site. The only member of the al Qaeda network aside from its top leaders who knows the truth about the group’s weapons of mass destruction resources is a chemical engineer called Midhat Mursi, or Abu Khabab, a member of the Egyptian Jihad Islami.

“At the Tora Bora base near Jalalabad called Al Badr or Abu Kebab Camp, less than 20 km east of Kabul (Ed. rebuilt on the site of a camp first constructed by the CIA in the early 1980s; the whole complex surrounding the camp known as Darunta), Mursi built and managed the network’s facilities for the manufacture of nuclear, chemical, biological and toxic weapons and trained agents in their use. In Western terms, Abu Kebab (variant spelling) may be regarded as the director of bin Laden’s nuclear program.

“As of September 9, two days before the suicide attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the facility was evacuated and Mursi transferred to a hideout near bin Laden in the Hindu Kush Mountains.”

Mursi’s name surfaced when the US captured the Darunta camps in October 2001.

On March 1, 2003, Khalid Sheik Mohammed was captured in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, in a house owned by Abdul Quddos Khan, a Pakistani biologist who had access to biological, chemical, and nuclear production materials. Quddos managed to escape. In the rooms of his house, American special forces found hand-written documents and computer hard drives to do with al-Qaeda’s efforts to build dirty bombs. In some of these documents, the name of Abu Khabab was mentioned.

On Friday, January 9 2004, we got a glimpse of the complexity of the al-Qaeda terror machine and how everything, people and events, are interconnected from back in the pre-September 11 period. In a laconic official announcement, the Swiss federal police said that they had arrested eight people in connection with terror attacks on westerners in Saudi Arabia last May. They say that those arrested are being held on suspicion of providing logistical support to criminal organizations.

DEBKA-Net-Weekly’s counter-terror and intelligence sources report that the arrests were made from information gathered from hundreds of Swiss phone cards used in Rawalpindi from Khalid Sheik Mohammad’s apartment. After US special forces found these cards, a secret investigation began to find the people who Sheik Mohammad spoke to from Rawalpindi. It took 11 months to unearth those in Switzerland.

According to our intelligence sources, the January 9 raid on five Swiss cantons by Switzerland’s federal police supported by a state police task force, led to 20 Arabs being investigated, of whom eight were detained, seven of them Egyptian and one Saudi. According to our sources, they formed the main logistical body that supplied intelligence, explosives, money and forged documents to the al-Qaeda cells operating inside Saudi Arabia as well as to Midaat Mursi and his people.

Our sources understand that the center of the network worked from at least five different houses in Lucerne. In addition, the Swiss authorities, following an American request, seized active bank accounts belonging to al-Qaeda. In one of them, they found 50 million Swiss francs.

A thorough investigation of the eight detainees is now going on in an urgent bid to extract from them all they know about Mursi and his people. American terror experts believe that at least one of the eight detainees should know something about his recent movements and destination.

Second item.......

Three men identified as Al Qaeda's weapons of mass destruction committee would likely plan
the attack, said two European intelligence officials and independent experts.

The committee leader is Midhat Mursi, an Egyptian chemical engineer also known as Abu
Khabab. Officials said he is regarded as Al Qaeda's master bomb builder and is one of the
group's most-wanted fugitives — although there have been unconfirmed reports that Mursi is
in U.S. custody.

I'd be curious as to why Fort Myers is on that list. What's there other than expensive high-rise condos?

[texasbluebell]

Well, it was a good idea to do it this way. Thanks for suggesting it.

And HipShot was very gracious to put it up too!

[texasbluebell]

You bet.

Isn't that a big military site?

Police Await Results Of Tests On White Powder
POSTED: 9:13 am CDT July 12, 2004
UPDATED: 4:00 pm CDT July 12, 2004

NEW ORLEANS -- Law enforcement and other officials responded Monday morning to an anthrax scare at a post office in Meraux.

Police said a clear plastic bag containing a white powder was left in the post office lobby, which is open 24 hours a day. Attached was a threatening note, but police would not elaborate.

It seemed to be a likely possibility for that date, certainly something the jihadis would have a gripe with.
