.........JIHADINIS...........love it!
CoCo, thanks for the mini bomb info.
I saw the first post yesterday, and it definitely caught my eye. What they added today is interesting. I wonder if it's the Lat/Lon that they want from that data...
Has anyone posted this? Another female suicide bomber.

Major explosion occurs in downtown Dushanbe
A major explosion occurred in downtown Dushanbe at 7:05 p.m. Moscow time on Sunday. The Tajik police said that a female suicide bomber set off the explosion. The woman died on her way to hospital. She was in coma when she died, a source in the Tajik Interior Ministry told Itar-Tass.
The bomb has been identified as a grenade. Demolition experts found the grenade detonator on the incident scene.
According to the updated information, a man got a shrapnel leg wound in the explosion.
Dushanbe Prosecutor Khabibullo Vakhidor refused to add details. Eyewitnesses are being interrogated, and the woman is being identified.
A task force of the Tajik Interior Ministry and Security Ministry is working on the explosion scene. The area is cordoned. That was the third explosion in nearly one and the same area of Dushanbe in 2005.

Oops. Posted too soon. Looks like it wasn't a suicide bombing.

Jilted lover caused Tajik "suicide blast"--police
10 Oct 2005 12:40:40 GMT
Source: Reuters
DUSHANBE, Oct 10 (Reuters) - An explosion that killed a woman outside a government building in Tajikistan on Sunday, first reported as a suicide bombing, was caused by a grenade thrown by her jilted lover after a row, police said on Monday.
Police said at first the blast outside the Central Asian state's Emergencies Ministry appeared to be the work of a female suicide bomber who killed only herself. However, a man had now been arrested and charged with murder, they said.
"In line with our preliminary investigation, the grenade blast was prompted by a fit of jealousy during a tiff between former lovers," said police spokesman Golib Sultonov.
"The man, the woman's former lover, threw a grenade at her. They dated once, but then she ditched him. He was jealous that she was now in love with another man."
The 25-year-old woman was the daughter of an Interior Ministry special operations officer, he said.
Her attacker was under arrest charged with murder and illegal possession of arms. A passer-by was slightly wounded by the blast.
Tajikistan has been flooded with weapons since a 1992-97 civil war that caused more than 100,000 deaths. Sunday's explosion in the government district occurred just days before a planned visit by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
The Emergencies Ministry, which handles civil emergencies, was the scene of two mysterious bomb blasts earlier this year which killed one man and slightly wounded at least seven others.
Police said at least one of those blasts may have been "terrorist" while Western diplomats in Dushanbe have said they believed the two blasts were most likely to be linked to a business dispute or political vendetta.
As promised, here's a few work-related tidbits from the past week.
1. All USPS employees nationwide received a mailing urging us to become involved in CERT (Community Emergency Response Team), a part of Citizen Corps, in cooperation with Homeland Security. It is a 20 hour training program for emergency preparedness and response. This mailing went out to approximately 780,000 employees nationwide.
2. We received notice that finally, 4 years after the post-9/11 anthrax incidents, our facility (an airport mail center) is getting a system installed that screens for biological "buggies" in the mail. There are more than a few problems with the system that need to be worked out, the most serious being that presently, the system only screens for one type of "biological buggie." Oh well... guess I can't expect too much too soon. (sarcasm off)
Help, are you going to post the "talk to me" posts here?
My computer will not read that site, as will other TM'ers,
that I know of.
It is a Java problem, yes, I have it turned on....
Please........
It appears that the bombing craze is catching on, all over
the world, it is no longer only for Jihadi's.
Thanks for posting the reports.

Alleged hijack bid nonstarter
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | October 8, 2005 | Mark Davis

Gwinnett police on Friday arrested a man they characterized as a
would-be hijacker who tried to commandeer a tractor-trailer idling in
traffic.
Unfortunately for him, said officers, he chose a truck whose driver was
armed.
Police said Cesar Iban Santoyo Pantija, 23, jumped into the cab of a
tractor-trailer traveling north on I-85. It was about 11:30 a.m., and
traffic had come to a stop just south of Indian Trail Lilburn Road,
police said.
Official links French terror cell, al-Qaida
10/10/2005, 5:21 p.m. ET
By JAMEY KEATEN
The Associated Press
PARIS (AP) A French terror cell suspected of plotting attacks on the subway and other targets in Paris had indirect contacts with Iraq's al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a leading French counterterrorism official said Monday.
Christophe Chaboud, head of the counterterrorism unit of the national police, also told The Associated Press that a member of the cell returned to France from Lebanon with a substance that some experts say can be used in bomb-making.
"There were in effect contacts between the group and al-Zarqawi," Chaboud said in an interview, referring to the French group known as "Ansar al-Fath" or Partisans of Victory. He said the contacts were "indirect" through intermediaries.
Chaboud said one of the members of the alleged cell built around Safe Bourada a previously convicted Islamic militant arrested again in France last month had returned home from Lebanon with black cumin, a substance that has been identified in the past as an explosives ingredient. He did not elaborate and did not name the person.
Another police official said a second suspected cell member, Kaci Ouarab, returned from Lebanon in early 2005 after a few months of training in weapons and explosives, and possibly, ways of detonating bombs by using mobile phones.
Ouarab left for Lebanon either in late 2004 or early 2005, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because his agency does not allow him or the agency to be identified by name.
Bourada, 35, and five suspected accomplices have been placed under investigation one step short of formal charges in the past two weeks and jailed for suspected criminal association with a terror group in the case.
The group was suspected of plotting attacks against the Paris subway, the headquarters of French counterintelligence service DST and an airport in the capital, Chaboud said.
Bourada was among 36 Islamic militants sentenced in February 1998 for providing support for bomb attacks that terrorized France in 1995. He received a maximum 10-year sentence, but won early release in 2003. Police say he had been under surveillance ever since.
The issue of black cumin cropped up at a trial in absentia of al-Zarqawi, three other fugitives and nine men in custody in Jordan in June. An explosives expert testified that when mixed with other chemicals, black cumin can be used to cause explosions with more force than TNT. Other experts, however, said black cumin also can also be used for benign purposes.
Chaboud did not say whether French experts believe that black cumin has explosive properties.
Also Monday, an 18-year-old fiancee of a Frenchman killed in Iraq was detained for questioning in an investigation of networks suspected of sending Islamic militants from France to Iraq, a police official said. He said she is not expected to be charged in the case.
About seven French nationals are known to have been killed in Iraq and three others are being held by police, Chaboud said. Another three are in the custody of the U.S.-led coalition there, he said.
About 20 French nationals are believed to be missing in Iraq, though there may be others, Chaboud said.

black cumin, that sounds like a spice.
If you get worms, black cumin will cure you right up.
Nigella sativa is one the most revered medicinal seeds in history. The best seeds come from Egypt where they grow under almost perfect conditions in oases where they are watered until the seed pods form. Black cumin seeds were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Though black cumin seeds are mentioned in the Bible as well as in the words of the Prophet Mohammed, they were not carefully researched until about forty years ago. Since this time, more than 200 studies have been conducted in universities.
Tickets for the 24th...........for three?
Or is there more here that I am not seeing?
Spent most of the day driving in a blizzard and my brain is frazzled right now. Nothing makes much sense to me.
Two interesting links on black cumin

Thanks

That's what the first part looks like to me. Keep in mind that these four sections are four different posts.
This is the first I'm seeing this. What is AQS? If it's written dateline today, can we assume he's about to embark on a suicide/homicide mission?
