>>>Wasn't there a slew of these last year as well?
There were quite a few last year.
I'm not certain, but I think it was last winter.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
Thank you Jill.

French University Publishes Top al Qaeda Speeches
Presses Universitaires de France has published a new book which documents the speeches of top al Qaeda leaders, including Osama bin Laden and Aymal al Zawahiri. LeMonde runs a full page review of the book, but pans it because the prose of Zawahiri can't really be compared to the genius of the Ayatollah Khomenei or with the Muslim Brotherhood's Sayyid Qutb--those guys really knew how to put antisemetism and islamofascist utopianism into words!.
And besides, says the Le Monde reviewer, how come the authors of the book didn't challenge al Qaeda's assertion that jihad is somehow a call for violence when every one know that jihad is an internal struggle thing, right?
You gotta love the French.......

Al-Qaida preparing to attack Tokyo or other Asian city: report+
(Kyodo) _ France's top terrorist investigator has warned that Al-Qaida is preparing an attack on a big financial center in Asia such as Tokyo, Sydney or Singapore, to undermine investor confidence in the region, the Financial Times newspaper reported in its Friday edition.
"We have several elements of information that make us think that countries in this region, especially Japan, could have been targeted," Jean-Louis Bruguiere told the British newspaper Thursday.
Several Asian countries were less prepared than the United States or Europe for such an attack, the French judge was quoted as saying.
"Any attack on a financial market, like Japan, would mechanically have an important economic impact on the confidence of investors," Bruguiere said. "Other countries in this region such as Singapore and Australia are also potential targets."

Sweltering late-summer heat and the loss of a **key transmission line** Thursday forced power officials in Southern California to impose rolling blackouts, leaving as many as half a million people without power for an hour at a time, officials said.

"Watts Riots, 40 Years Later"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The divisions are still there, 40 years later.
To many, the events that began in Watts on Aug. 11, 1965, remain a riot, pure and simple — a social breakdown into mob rule and criminality."
I use Bug-Me-Not all the time. It's a fantastic site to use when you don't want to register at all those places requiring it.
