Communications trucks will soon blanket the state

CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — Within the next month, the first of 11 mobile communications trucks will be stationed around Ohio to assist law enforcement agencies during emergencies.

The diesel-powered trucks each cost $440,000. They were paid for with federal Homeland Security Act grants.

The vehicles are expected to help police and other officials communicate and better respond to flooding, ice storms, tornadoes, major crashes, terrorist attacks or other disasters.

They give law-enforcement officials the ability to access the Internet, fax, copy, print digital photographs and, maybe most important, put officials from across the state on the same radio frequencies so they can easily communicate. There is a conference room in the truck, and space for a crime lab.

The first 9-ton truck will be based in Ross County and should be ready to work by June 6.

"You're looking at the cutting edge of technology sitting right here," Ross County Sheriff Ron Nichols said Friday as law enforcement agencies unveiled the trucks.

The 10 other trucks are expected to be operating by the end of the year. Once they are in place, nearly 97 percent of Ohio's population will be within 50 miles of a truck, officials said.

During disasters, counties now go through the Emergency Management Agency for assistance, and must navigate red tape to get it. With the new trucks, counties can call their truck's base and expect help within an hour or two — saving what could be precious time.

"I can't stress enough the value of something like this regionally," said Nancy Dragani, director of Ohio's EMA.

Joy Junction Web Site Hacked and Obliterated: Shelter Director Suspects Terrorist Activity

Long time Albuquerque resident Jeremy Reynalds is best known for his work with Joy Junction, the shelter for homeless families he founded in 1986 and continues to direct.

However, there's another side of Reynalds that is not quite as well known – as a terrorist hunter.

For almost the last three years Reynalds has investigating and writing about a number of Islamic terrorist web sites, many of which are hosted by American Internet Service Providers.

Last year CNN profiled his work on the Anderson Cooper show, and a few months ago he was mentioned in a column by CNN Senior Investigative Producer Henry Schuster (www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/08/schuster.column).

Earlier this year Reynalds was also the subject of a death threat by radical jihadis (http://haganah.org.il/harchives/003608.html ).

Now Joy Junction's web site has been hacked by individuals so proficient that the entire account has been wiped off the computer server on which it was housed.

Reynalds said he suspects terror activity.

"The simple fact is that these guys are not happy when I write articles exposing their hateful agenda," he said. "Who else could it have been?"

"Our web host will launch an investigation on their own," Reynalds added. "But ...these were not script kiddies (amateur hackers), they were pros. And they likely did not leave behind much for us to work with."

Reynalds said while he cannot definitively say it was a terror attack against Joy Junction's web site, he has a message for those individuals whom he dubbed "radical jihadi thugs" who engage in cyber crimes.

"You have picked the wrong person to try and intimidate," Reynalds said. "Death threats and web site hacking just further serve to strengthen my resolve to fight terrorism."
