Al-Qaeda's Completed Warning Cycle - Ready to Attack?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1356636/posts

"In this overall context, the November 28 2004 speech by deputy al-Qaeda chief Zawahiri seems to have brought closure to the warning cycle begun by bin Laden in 2002. In his speech, Zawahiri spoke more in sorrow than anger when he gave Americans "a final piece of advice." He said that Americans had again elected leaders who would keep the status quo in U.S. foreign policy toward the Islamic world. Noting that al-Qaeda had repeatedly warned against this course of action, Zawahiri implied that Americans would get no more warnings and that they would have only themselves to blame for future disasters. "

and visiting the Christian bookstores at the malls is a neat experience, too.

For those who cannot afford new books, many Christian bookstores and some online stores offer used Christian books and/or new books at substantial discount.

Britain faces a potential terrorist threat from "very many" Muslim men who returned to Britain after spending time in training camps in Afghanistan..

Too bad they can't use profiling to "interrogate" those Muslim men arriving or returning from Afghanistan. Once again political correctness at work for the terrorists.

I am almost 200 miles from the border, that is close enough.

Please be safe Granny. If this group has members here already, they are probably already conducting violent acts against the gringos they view as holding them back from the takeover of America they envision.

Swiss authorities take a bite out of the Minbar Project

The Swiss-operated Islamist forum began life as 'islamic-minbar.com', and over the course of about nine months it was removed from a Swiss server, changed names, first to sunna-minbar, then ansar-minbar, before finally settling on islam-minbar.net. By that time it was being hosted in the United States by the Dutch outfit 357hosting.com who specialize in hosting sites for a broad-range of Islamic and Arab extremists.


Seems things have taken a turn for the worse for this enterprising band of brothers...


Swiss seize five suspected extremists:
BERN, Switzerland (AP) - Swiss authorities said Friday they have detained five Islamic extremists suspected of using the Internet to show the killing of hostages - which reportedly included the beheading of an American - and to give bomb-making instructions.



It was unclear if any of the slayings took place in Iraq, where they have been blamed on the group led by Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Video recordings of those killings have been posted on various Islamic Web sites.


"The sites - which were actively exploited by at least one of the arrested persons - included numerous videos showing the putting to death of hostages and the mutilation of human beings," said a statement by the Federal Prosecutor's Office.


Peter Lehmann, spokesman for the office, declined to go into detail about the slayings, telling The Associated Press the locations of the killings had yet to be determined.


All the suspects were "of the Islamic faith, with extremist leanings," the office said. It did not identify any of them, but said they came from Tunisia and Belgium and were legal residents of Switzerland.


They are under investigation for incitement to crime and for supporting a terrorist organization, it said.


The office cited the now-closed Web site www.islamic-minbar.com, saying its forum published letters claiming responsibility for a suicide bomb attack in Pakistan in July 2004...


The five suspects were detained Feb. 22 in anti-terrorism raids in the capital, Bern, and nearby Fribourg, the prosecutor's office said. Police used force during the operation in Fribourg, the office said without elaborating.


Three of the suspects are still in custody. The other two have been released but remain under investigation, the office said. Police also seized computers, software, video recordings and images.


"The police action was preceded by investigations which lasted several months," the statement explained. "They were able to identify several people who spread fundamentalist Islamist ideas on the Internet."


The www.islamic-minbar.com site - launched June 21, 2004 - was closed by its Swiss Internet service provider in September because of its content.


"Another site was then opened" outside Switzerland, the prosecutor's office said, but did not identify the site.


Swiss authorities have sought international judicial assistance to have the new site shut down, the office said, without identifying the country involved.


Swiss media previously have identified the founder of www.islamic-minbar.com as Moez Garsallaoui, a Tunisian who was based in Lausanne. A woman who answered the telephone at Garsallaoui's listed number in the Swiss city said he did not live there.

I delivered the news myself to the islam-minbar.net forum...

...more than once, actually, and they first deleted the postings, and then deleted my user account. What this tells us is that while they allow the site to be used for communications among Islamist extremists, they *do* moderate and delete "offensive" material. Offensive being, in this case, news of the arrest of Islamic extremists.



For a taste of the kind of content the site's administrators and moderators approve of, here is a review of our previous reports regarding the Minbar forum:

The paper cites an agency report showing air marshals flew on nearly 10 percent of the nation's flights.

"Just the ones considered critical flights?" Terrorists are unlikely to travel in first class (where the air marshals were assigned in a prior incident), so those of us traveling on the cheap are the most likely ones to be alone with undetected terrorists. This is certainly not good news for us, but it is for terrorists. It's akin to putting up a welcome sign on 9 out of 10 flights for them!

Reports this week indicate the man responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks wants to move forward with more strikes against Americans.
