"Most-Wanted Hamas Bombmaker Resurfaces"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip A shadowy Hamas (search) bombmaker who tops Israel's most-wanted list on Saturday issued his first videotaped statement since going into hiding more than a decade ago.
Mohammed Deif (search) praised Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip (search) as a victory for armed resistance, rejected calls for his group to disarm, and vowed to continue attacks on Israel until the Jewish state is erased from the map."

Very interesting. The snake awakens and slithers out of his den.

I've been in and out recently... moving to school Sunday.
Watching this storm get wound up in the GOM... I'm thinking back to something I believe we came across last yr, jihadi posts/something, referencing Hurricanes.
The current projections would be possibly disastrous for a large portion of the drilling offshore LA... there is a major concentration of rigs there. There is already mass speculation that just shutting these down will drive gas prices up very quickly. If any are taken offline for months/forever, we could be into something even worse.
I don't know, but it seems to me they might have wanted to wait until something like that (high energy prices & natural disaster testing the gov't reponse) happens here before launching the next attack. Not to even mention the ramifications of a category 4 actually coming into the New Orleans area....
Hopefully the National Hurricane Center has their first major bust of the year with this one.
This might be out in left field... I just seemed to remember mention of Hurricanes in a jihadi post in the past. I wouldn't put it past an organization like AQ to put out an order and sit on it for a decade if needed...
