"Understanding and detecting TATP and related explosives"
Progress reported from Technion.
Judy Siegel-Itzkovich, THE JERUSALEM POST Jan. 6, 2005:
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have developed a unique device that identifies improvised explosives - the kind commonly used by terrorist organizations. The device, called Peroxide Explosive Tester (PET) and resembling a three-color roller pen, releases three chemical mixtures that change color upon interaction with the suspected material.
Prof. Ehud Keinan, dean of the Technion's chemistry faculty who invented the PET, disclosed new findings relating to the explosive called triacetone-triperoxide (TATP) at the annual symposium of the Technion Center for Security Science and Technology: "To our great surprise, we discovered that TATP is very different from all other conventional explosives in that it does not release heat during the explosion. It explodes by rapid decomposition of every solid-state molecule to four gas-phase molecules. This rare phenomenon, scientifically known as 'entropic explosion', is reminiscent of the rapid reaction that produces gas in the safety air-bags of cars during accidents."
These results, which were published Thursday in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, arise from collaborative research that was carried out by Keinan along with Prof. Yehuda Zeiri of the Nuclear Research Center in the Negev, Profs, Ronnie Kosloff and Joseph Almog of the Hebrew University and their coworkers. During the conference, Keinan was awarded first prize in a competition for the development of counterterror technologies."

"Kuwaiti Intellectual: The Muslim Brotherhood Organization Should Be Put On the U.S. Terrorist List"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Ahmad Al-Baghdadi, a professor of political science at the University of Kuwait, recently published an article in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa and later in the Egyptian government weekly Akhbar Al-Yaum in which he called for outlawing and disbanding the Muslim Brotherhood organization, and confiscating its sources of funding. He also criticized U.S. policy on this subject, claiming that it is too lenient with organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. The following are excerpts from the article: [1]
'What is Preventing the U.S. from Adding the Muslim Brotherhood to the Terrorist List?'"
Thank you.
Update: There will not be further evacuations. SOmeone was making crank phone calls to residents telling them they had to evacuate. Probably someone looking to burgle houses.

"Banda Aceh Mosque Hosts Friday Prayers"
2 hours, 59 minutes ago
World - AP Asia
By CHRIS BRUMMITT, Associated Press Writer
BANDA ACEH, Indonesia - ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In the first Friday prayers there since the Dec. 26 tsunami, preacher Din Syamsuddin told around 2,000 worshippers in the staunchly Islamic province they may have brought the disaster upon themselves.
"Allah will not love us without also testing our love for him," said Syamsuddin, who is head of Indonesia's Council of Clerics. "Maybe this disaster was because we have forgotten him and his teachings and failed to implement (Islamic) Shariah law.""
No more evacuations?
That is good.

US judge hits Leung prosecution

Kuwait too? Guess they all just want to kill us infidels.
OPINION: Kuwait seems to be pretty good in catching terrorists.
A long press conference just concluded and I'll type my notes here.
1. There is a missing Avondale Mill worker and a search is underway for him.
2. There are Avondale workers and their families who no one has had contact with and great concern for their welfare. It is unclear why they are not posted as missing like the guy in #1 above and the press is thinking something is up with that.
3. There are several houses with cars parked in front of them but no one answers the door and officers are going to have to find a way to break in with search warrants or something to determine of those people are alive or just got rides out of town with friends when the evacuation occurred.
4. All 8 deaths including the engineer resulted in chlorine inhalation. These are workers in the mill, someone in a truck parked outside the mill and the engineer.
5. The curfew will be in effect again tonight from 6 until 7 tomorrow morning.
6. The mandatory evacuation will remain in effect for at least 3 more days.
7. The railroad has hired a company called Hulcher. Hulcher will be working 24/7 starting this evening to apply a steel patch around the hole of the leaking tanker. It will take 24-36 hours. Approx. 60 tons of the 90 tons have leaked.
8. Hulcher will also drain off chlorine from the other two tanks which were not damaged. The chlorine will be offloaded at 20 gallons/minute and it will take 3-7 days. Workers will wear A-D protective clothing.
9. There was a fish kill in Horse Creek. There are also dead dogs, birds and cattle.
10. Air quality tests are so ridiculous that I hesitate to mention them.
10 parts per million are dangerous.
1 part per million is safe.
It took a savy reporter to make it clear that when the police tried to calm fears that the highest reading was only 1.5+ that it's really bogus because the meter they have only goes up as high as 1.5 !!!! (insert swear words here)
That's all I have and probably won't have new information this evening.
Thank you Peach for those note.
