"ERRORISM: SECOND EDITION OF AL-QAEDA NEWS BULLETIN AIRS"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Rome, 4 Oct. (AKI) - The second edition of 'Sout al Khalifa', or Voice of the Caliphate, the 'news bulletin' produced by al-Qaeda mouthpiece the Global Islamic Media Front, has been broadcast on the Internet. The latest programme, which lasts around 19 minutes, opens with news from Palestine, and dedicates lengthy coverage to the kidnapping and killing of Sasson Nuriel, the Israeli businessman seized by a cell of the Palestinian militant group Hamas. The bulletin replays the video showing the hostage and repeats the allegation that he was a member of the Israeli security services.

The 'newsreader' - who has a subtle Egyptian accent and appears to be the same as appeared in the first edition aired on 21 September - then goes on to speak of the security situation in Gaza, which is described as highly volatile because of the Israeli air strikes.

The al-Qaeda bulletin also dedicates time to the last video featuring al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri and talks of Afghanistan and the suicide attack carried out last week by a Taliban bomber who drove a motorbike into a group of Afghan soldiers boarding a bus outside their training base in Kabul."

"Jailed Islamic cleric calls blasts a warning"

Published Tuesday, October 4, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BALI, Indonesia (AP) - A Muslim cleric jailed for the 2002 Bali bombings said today the latest attacks on the tropical island were a warning from God, and the blasts triggered security scares and travel alerts.

Indonesia, meanwhile, resisted pressure to outlaw the shadowy militant group suspected in Saturday’s bombings at three crowded restaurants that killed 22 people and wounded 104.

Suspicious packages were found at six embassies in Malaysia - including Canada, Germany and Thailand - forcing evacuations and the closure of the Japanese mission. The parcels, which threatened retaliation for injustices against Muslims, were later dismissed as a hoax.

Australia warned of more possible attacks on Bali, pinpointing a popular entertainment district just north of the weekend suicide bombings as one target."
