Hi Cindy,
you undefatiquable you. :)
/sarcasm
Don't you know al Qaida doesn't want nukes? If they had them, they'd have used them, etc. I'm sure this is more faux news intended to scare the sheeple.

Took about 5-6 hours to gather the info for this thread, and put it together. The general layout is the same as the previous (thinking about a new design for the future), so it's not as time consuming as it may appear. Thanks for the kind words, I am only a very small part of what makes the TM tick.
Good Job. I see the old thread links are back up. Thanks.

"An international political spat is brewing over whether the United Nations will seize control of the heart of the Internet."
Cindy, your efforts on this board are nothing short of amazing . . .
Thank you.
Granny, Ian enlarged that photo. The link is at post 37.
Thank you BraveMan for reading the threads.
It's team work.
I get a lot of FReepmail and email that keeps those ideas and links of interest flowing.
I was reminded why I mostly post in this thread earlier today. ;-) Guess I shouldn't hold grudges. Some people talk to much , considering their posts show they really don't understand what's going on. Then again, my girlfriend calls me pompous when I talk politics... so, I suppose I might be.

Los Angeles: Islamic converts, robbery suspects, found with list of addresses including the locations of an recruitment center and National Guard facilities
Jihad in Los Angeles? "Suspect Possessed a Military Sites List," from the LA Times, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
It started late Tuesday night, when police closed in on two men they suspected in 10 robberies across the South Bay.
But the case took a strange twist hours later, when a search of one suspect's apartment uncovered documents suggesting that the men might be targeting local U.S. military facilities, law enforcement sources said Friday.
Now federal and local counterterrorism investigators have joined together to determine why two robbery suspects would have such lists.
Among the items purportedly found at the South Los Angeles home of Levar Haney Washington, 25, was a list of addresses that included the locations of at least one Army recruitment center and National Guard facilities, the sources said....
He would not say more about the alleged threats or locations, except that they were "in the Los Angeles area."...
The two men, believed to be Islamic converts, were arrested about 10 p.m. Tuesday by Torrance police who had them under surveillance in connection with a string of robberies of gas stations and convenience stores from May 30 to July 3.

I seriously doubt you are pompous. Some folks just feel threatened when someone knows more about a subject than they do. It would probably help them in the long run if they would just look at it as an opportunity to gain more knowledge. Besides, I have a sneaking suspicion that by now you know a heck of a lot more about, oh, terrorism and world events than the average bloke :-)
Thank you for your hard work as well. :)
Suspect in Sept. 11 attacks held by Mexico By Ignacio Martinez, Associated Press | June 23, 2005
CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico -- A Lebanese-born man detained this week on Mexico's Baja California peninsula is believed linked to extremist organizations with ties to the Sept. 11 terror attacks, Mexican prosecutors said.
Amer Haykel told acquaintances he was a pilot who was wandering the world on a tight budget. He seemed like ''a straightforward person," said Gabriel Garcia of the Cabo San Lucas fire station, where Haykel had sought shelter for several days.
Mexico's federal attorney general's office said late Tuesday that US authorities linked the Lebanese-born British citizen ''to extremist groups believed to be involved with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in New York."
It did not say if Haykel faced any charges or if he was believed to be personally involved in any terrorist actions.
The office said yesterday that officials were trying to determine Haykel's legal status. He was being held in Mexico City by immigration authorities.
In Washington, White House spokesman Scott McClellan referred questions to the Mexican government. Britain's Foreign Office and London's Metropolitan Police said they had no details on Haykel.
Haykel was arrested on Monday at the volunteer fire station of Todos Santos, a small town on the Pacific coast about 35 miles northwest of Cabo San Lucas that is known as a haven for US expatriates.
Garcia said Haykel ''went off all day and returned at 7 in the night to sleep" at the station. Haykel told the firefighters he was a pilot and ''found himself traveling around the world, but he was doing it without money, seeking rides," Garcia said.
Officials have long expressed concerns that terrorists might use Mexico or Central America to stage an attack on the United States.
Since the Sept. 11 attacks, there have been a series of arrests and reports -- from Panama to the Mexico-US border -- indicating that terrorists might be in the region. But so far, there has been little hard evidence that anyone was linked to Al Qaeda or other terrorist groups.
Last week, Pakistani Arif Ali Durrani, 55, was arrested in the beach resort of Rosarito, across the border from San Diego.
A former US resident, Durrani was handed over to US officials, who charged him with illegally exporting parts used to cool fighter jet engines.
Durrani has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Durrani served five years in prison for selling missile parts to Iran in the 1980s.
Central American officials have also reported several alleged terrorist sightings or concerns -- including the theory that terrorists were recruiting from the region's violent gangs.
But so far, the US government has backed only one report: An alleged top Al Qaeda operative, Adnan El Shukrijumah of Saudi Arabia, spent 10 days in Panama in April 2001.
FBI Searching for 4 Terrorist Suspects
9/05/03: The FBI has announced a worldwide search for four men in connection with possible terror threats against the United States. The agency says the bulletin is based on recent intelligence.
The FBI has been seeking information about the men for months. Two are Saudis, one is Moroccan and the fourth is Tunisian. An official says new information prompted the intensified search.
None is believed to be in the U.S.
One of the Saudis has been described as a possible al-Qaeda operational planner similar to Mohamed Atta, a key organizer of the 9-11 attacks. There are no details yet about the other three.
The girl, he's (Shukrijumah) been known to travel with -
3/27/03: Officers are also looking for a woman who apparently accompanies him. Agents believe Aafia Siddiqui (pictured, right) apparently traveled through Gaithersburg in December or January.
The FBI said Siddiqui may have been providing logistical support to El Shukrijumah.
Siddiqui is a Pakistani national who has lived in Boston. She has a doctorate in neurological science and has studied at MIT, Brandeis University, and in Houston.
