I happen to be reading a Jack Higgins book called "Storm Warning".....

Page 59 mentions "DROP YOUR EGGS...", and is referring to an officers orders to LAY MINES (in the harbor).

FBI: Al-Qaida May Recruit Non-Arabs

FBI Sent Out Warning In Weekly Bulletin
Jul 16, 2004 5:54 pm US/Central

WASHINGTON (AP) Al-Qaida may be recruiting non-Arabs less likely to attract the notice of security personnel to carry out attacks inside the United States, the FBI warned on Friday.

The terror network especially seeks operatives who have U.S. citizenship or legal residency status, the FBI's counterterrorism division said in its weekly bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide.

Thanks Honestly.

I have to go out and finishing watering the plants, but a quick glance on certain jihad-related boards; no photos or videos yet. I'm not an Arabic speaker.

Will look later to see what I find.

I don't think they took the second ones head; Al Jazeera reported that his throat was cut.

I'm not sure what that means, but I'm sure it's important.
