Al Qaeda just re-released the will of Said al Ghamdi, one of the 9-11 hijackers via the Ansar Jihad mailing list.
His date of birth was November 21, 1979

Is this a way to pass along an upcoming "go" date? 11/21
Note the Oct.18th, date on this, is it connected to todays pledge?

Zarqawi Movement Pledges Allegiance to Bin Laden
Date Posted: Monday, October 18, 2004
/>DUBAI, Oct 18 (MASNET & News
Agencies) - The Tawhid wal Jihad
group of Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, the
most wanted man in Iraq, pledged
allegiance to Osama bin Laden's
al-Qaeda network, in a move it said
aimed to increase the "ire of infidels
and the fear of the enemies of
Islam."<?xml:namespace prefix = o
ns =
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"We announce that Al-Tawhid wal Jihad [Unity and Holy War], its emir
[Zarqawi] and soldiers have pledged allegiance to the mujahedeen [holy
fighters] Osama bin Laden," said the statement, reports Agence
France-Presse (AFP).
It was the first such public pledge by the group which is led by Zarqawi,
whom the United States has branded the chief operative in Iraq of
al-Qaeda, which carried out the September 11, 2001, anti-U.S. terror
attacks.
The statement said Zarqawi considered bin Laden "the best leader for
Islam's armies against all infidels and apostates," reports the Associated
Press (AP).
However, the authenticity of the statement could not be verified.
Zarqawi, who like bin Laden has a $25 million U.S. bounty on his head, has
claimed responsibility for a string of deadly attacks in Iraq, including last
year's bombing of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, and multiple
kidnappings and beheadings of hostages.
"Sheikh Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi was in contact with the brothers within
al-Qaeda for eight months. They exchanged points of view and then there
was a cut due to fate," the statement read.
"Suddenly contacts were restored.
"Our brothers in al-Qaeda understood the strategy of Al-Tawhid wal Jihad
group in the Land of the Two Rivers (Euphrates and Tigris) and were
satisfied with our line," said the statement dated October 17.
"With the start of Ramadan, the month of victories and a time when
Muslims need more than ever to close ranks, to gouge out the eyes of the
enemies of Islam ..., we announce this good news to our nation, to the joy
of Muslims."
Some extremists said that the pledge of allegiance was aimed at
attracting more fighters to Tawhid and Jihad under the banner of al-Qaeda
to expand the group's "holy war" in Iraq, reports Reuters.
The statement also endorsed bin Laden's goal to "expel the infidels from
the Arabian peninsula" - a reference to American influence in the al-Qaeda
leader's native Saudi Arabia, reports the AP.
Zarqawi, a man with a string of aliases and a background as a common
criminal, spent years in the lawless wastes of western Pakistan and
Afghanistan. Before the U.S.-led war on Iraq, he was linked to Ansar
al-Islam, a militant group operating in Kurdish-held northern Iraq.
Although Washington has long accused Zarqawi's Tawhid and Jihad Group
of links to al-Qaeda, the posted statement was the group's first public
admission of ties to the network, the news agency reports.
His relationship to bin Laden and the al-Qaeda leadership has long been the
subject of considerable speculation. Although many experts believe
Zarqawi had longtime ties to al-Qaeda, others suspected that Zarqawi
considered himself a rival to bin Laden for the mantle of chief defender of
the Muslim faith, reports the AP.
"But we've always said there were ties between Zarqawi and al-Qaeda,
which underscores once again why Iraq is the central front in the war on
terror," White House spokesman Trent Duffy said in Washington. "It's also
proof positive of why the president's firm resolve to fight terrorists
overseas so we don't face them in America's neighborhoods is the only
clear way to prevail."
Bin Laden, believed to be hiding in Afghanistan or in the border areas of
Pakistan, has faded somewhat from public view and recent declarations by
al-Qaeda's leadership have been made by his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahri,
the news agency reports.
Zarqawi's declaration appeared two days after the U.S. government
formally declared his Tawhid and Jihad a terrorist organization. The listing
imposes several restrictions on the group, including a ban on travel to the
United States and a freeze on the group's assets in U.S. banks, reports
the AP.
In a separate statement also posted on the Internet and attributed to
Zarqawi's group, it said one of its leaders, Abu Hafs Allibi, had "fallen in
combat alongside the heroes" of the Iraqi rebel stronghold of Fallujah.
He headed the group's Islamic shari’a law committee, it said.
U.S. and Iraqi officials believe Zarqawi's movement is centered in Fallujah,
where U.S. troops clashed Sunday with insurgents. However, Tawhid and
Jihad banners have been seen recently in Samarra, Ramadi and even on
the streets of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, reports the AP.
Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi has ordered residents of the town of
Fallujah in western Iraq to surrender Zarqawi and his supporters or face
invasion by U.S.-led forces.
On Sunday, U.S. forces and insurgents battled around Fallujah, trading fire
on the outskirts of the town as U.S. aircraft pounded rebel positions.

BELARUS BAPTISTS IN HOT WATER
Local lawmakers in the city of Bobruisk located in eastern Belarus say that religious literature was legally confiscated from a library in late Sept.
Belarus is located in Eastern Europe, east of Poland (www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/bo.html).
Forum 18 News Service reported that the library was run by Baptists belonging to the Council of Churches, who refuse on principle to register with the state authorities in post-Soviet countries.
Forum 18 reported that Bobruisk City Executive Committee vice-chairman Mikhail Kovalevich said the literature is currently being held by an unspecified administrative commission, because the Baptists had both "ignored" and "violated" the legal procedure for holding religious events by acting without state approval.
"Religious events should be in a house of worship, not on the street," he told Forum 18. Kovalevich stressed that no action had yet been taken against the Baptists and said it would not take the form of a court case.
Valeri Sidorenko, an assistant to Mogilev Region's main religious affairs official, told Forum 18 that he had no information about the specific case. However, he said that the operation of a street library by unregistered Baptists would have violated Article 193 of the Administrative Violations Code, "because distributing literature counts as one form of their religious activity."
According to Forum18, Article 193 punishes unregistered religious activity - illegal under the 2002 religion law - with fines of up to five times the minimum monthly wage (i.e. up to 53 US Dollars). Sidorenko also told Forum 18 that he thought such a fine would be handed down by an administrative commission rather than a court.
A police captain threatened Aleksandr Yermalitsky of the unregistered Bobruisk congregation with 15 days' detention, or a fine equivalent to 135 US Dollars, after he confiscated all the street library's literature on Sept. 25, Forum 18 reported the Baptist Council of Churches stated.
For two weeks, Forum 18 reported, Yermalitsky's attempts to have the literature returned met with no response, until, on Oct. 11, the head of the local Ideology Department reportedly informed him that it would be sent for expert analysis and might not be returned at all, and that a court would soon resolve the issue. On Nov. 14 a secretary at Bobruisk City Executive Committee told Forum 18 that many evangelical churches have sent letters of petition regarding the situation.
Aleksandr Yermalitsky thinks that there will definitely be a court case against him but, speaking to Forum 18, said that he had no idea when it would be. Reluctant to comment further, he did say that the Bobruisk Baptists did not consider themselves guilty of any violation and were hopeful that the literature - which included copies of the New Testament - would be returned.
This is not the first time the authorities have cracked down on a Baptist street library (see www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=436). Religious believers in Belarus can also be fined for holding religious gatherings in private homes (see www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=463).
The activity of even registered local religious organizations is - as one regional official insisted to Forum 18 - confined to the immediate area where they are registered, such as a particular city (see www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=478).
State registration is - against international human rights standards - compulsory for all religious communities and unregistered religious activity is illegal. Forum 18 reported this policy has been condemned by the U.N. Human Rights Committee, following a complaint brought by two Hare Krishna devotees (see www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=682). The policy is used against a variety of communities the state dislikes, Forum 18 commented, such as non-Moscow Patriarchate Orthodox communities (see www.forum18.org/Archive.php?article_id=684).
In another recent case brought under the Administrative Violations Code, Forum 18 reported, a member of the Brest Baptist congregation in western Belarus, also belonging to the Council of Churches, was reportedly fined 127,500 Belarusian roubles (57 US dollars) by a local administrative commission on Oct. 20 for leading an unregistered religious organization in violation of Article 193 of the Code. This is over five times the monthly minimum wage.
On Oct. 28, Forum 18 reported Baptists called for prayer and petitions, "that the authorities will not force the church to register, as this goes against our Christian conscience, the Gospels and the Belarusian Constitution."
Under Article 18 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as the Brest Baptists pointed out, "everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion… everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association."

Russia-Uzbek Military Pact Allows Mutual Use of Bases
Posted on Tuesday, November 15, 2005 at 10:02am
The presidents of Russia and Uzbekistan signed a military treaty at the
Kremlin on Monday, forging an alliance that reasserts Moscow's
influence in the former Soviet republic, which until recently was a U.S.
ally. The deal, which could foreshadow the establishment of a Russian
military base there, allows each country the use of military installations
on the other's territory. The agreement also calls for them to provide
military aid to each other in the event either is facing "aggression."
