Saudi Arabia freezing accounts of terrorists - ambassador
MOSCOW. Sept 23 (Interfax) - Saudi Arabia is taking urgent measures to freeze the accounts of organizations and individuals related to terrorism, Saudi Ambassador to Russia Mohamed Hassan Abdel Wali said in an interview published in the Thursday edition of Nezavisimaya Gazeta.
"Our authorities are taking urgent measures to freeze the financial assets and accounts of persons and organizations related to terrorism at the demand of the UN Security Council Counter-Terrorism Committee and other international organizations," he said.

And here's a site to help you mark your location and potential damage regarding a nuclear blast. I know there's another one, but I haven't found it yet:
Lebanon discloses first network for al-Qaida organization on its land
Lebanon, Local, 9/23/2004
Lebanon has disclosed for the first time that there is a network for al-Qaida organization led by Osama Bin laden on its land linked to similar networks in Arab and European countries. This came following information from Italy on an operation targeting its embassy in Beirut.
snip
He explained that the role of this network, which he gave no definite name, is to recruit youths to carry out operations against the occupation forces in Iraq." This was explained in a press conference dedicated by the minister to announce "details permitted by investigations" with 10 members detained during search operations which started from Saturday when the Lebanese security sides received information from Italy on a likely attack against its embassy in Beirut. Al-Murr indicated that most of the detainees are Lebanese in addition to some Palestinians including one woman.

Okay, you piqued my curiosity. Give us the story!
Okay -- so there I am in some classroom in Rutger's law in Newark. As a good Jersey boy, I'd never been to the City of Newark -- though I had flown from the Airport many times.
I drive down MLK Blvd. toward the School, and I am directed to a parking lot with an 8 foot fence with round razor-blade wire on it. (I am thrilled in my nifty red convertible).
Once I passed the metal detector to enter the School, I exchange some nice chat with other prospective students. In one of the presentations, the rubber hits the road.
After hearing a Professor descibe how great he legal clinics are, the ponytailed Prof. uses as an example, his recent work with law students to help a triple murderer in one of the Carolina's get a change of menu, as he had converted to a new religion. (At this point, I am leaning out of my seat toward the door -- my wife sensing my disdain.)
Then for the moment of truth!
Up comes the assistant admissions director. I believe that was her title. She said something in that class that almost sounded tawdry. It was awkward, in that I felt like she was telling a secret she should not have. She said, and this is a quote:
"The program we are most proud of here, is our 33% set-aside admissions programs for minorities. These people do not have to meet the same LSAT or admissions requirements as our other applicants."
End direct quote. She then added a few lines about the importance of diversity in understanding the law.
I leaned over to my wife -- the girl I met in a small Jersey town in the second grade, and said, "we're moving to Virginia." I stood up in the middle of her presentation and worked across the crowded room to walk out.
I never looked back. I sent the woman a letter protesting the discrimination and registering my disgust. I never even received the courtesy of a response. (It cost me 10K in extra tuition, but at what cost would one sell his or her principles.)
It was a shocking experience -- and one that led me from my home state to my new adopted home in Virginia. (While I live in Liberal occupied Northern Virginia, I did go to one of the few conservative law schools in the Country, George Mason.)
For those of you still in Jersey -- send Rutgers a letter and see if that public school is still discriminating with your tax dollars.
Here is an odd link I stumbled upon.
CAUTION: Some disturbing pictures!!!

Here is a link about an upcoming fasting event. Always freaks me out when I see specific dates listed at some of these sites. Wasn't the original "Countdown Clock" hosted at Khayma.com ???

Dear China we pay lots of taxes on our gas. Could we also get a loan? LOL
Update 2: Russia: China Will Pay for Oil Deliveries
09.23.2004, 03:49 PM
The head of Russia's state-owned railroad network said Thursday that a Chinese oil company would cover the embattled Yukos oil company's rail transport bills for October, the Interfax news agency reported.
Earlier this week, Yukos announced it would cut 100,000 barrels per day of crude supplies to China's National Petroleum Corp., as the beleaguered Russian company fights to pay off crippling back tax bills of about $7 billion.

Oh good, you posted the information on khayma with a translation. Thank you.
So we have a full moon and pics of the NYC skyline, the George Washington Bridge and a waterway?
What a great story!!!! Would that more would stand by their convictions.
George Mason=Walter Williams
Don't mean to sound too California-ish, but thanks for sharing that with us.
markin'
He is one of the greats. I was sitting on the Board of Vistors for the University when he gave compelling testimony to raise standards at the undergrad level.
Other assiociated with George Mason in my time there and since include: Ed Meese, Bill Kristol, Ed Fuelner (He is the Heritage Foundation) and Ken Starr -- to name a few. I got to know Ed Meese, as we served together on the Board. He is a gentleman and a class act.
The was the best move I ever made!
LOL I'm not. (I too send apologies for that) ha ha
Anyway, we are well protected here hopefully. It just seems as though somethings up. We are getting closer to the November deadline for the scumbags to do their thing. Then again, maybe we have received so much info from the last bunch that got caught with the computers that we have put a huge crimp in their plans.
I hope Mr RR gets home pretty soon!!
