Snip: "It's embarrassing to be protecting the U.S.-Mexico border and be wearing a uniform made in Mexico," says T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, a 6,500-member union.
Agents and lawmakers are concerned about the consequences if the uniforms for agents charged with combating illegal immigration fall into the hands of criminals or terrorists.
"If we're manufacturing uniforms in Mexico, what's to stop someone from walking across the border in a Border Patrol uniform?" asked Rep. John Carter, a Republican from Round Rock. "How do you know who are our guys and who are their guys?"
Snip: Golden Gate Bridge officials were more willing to release inspection data than the security-conscious agency that owns the Tappan Zee Bridge — even though an al-Qaida videotape seized three years ago showed terrorists had cased the San Francisco landmark.
In response to a request under the California Public Records Act, the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District e-mailed The Journal News a complete copy of the 35-page summary of its 2001 inspection of the world-famous suspension bridge, then the most recent available.
Man arrested at Sky Harbor Airport for threatening terrorism
Snip: Phoenix Police Sgt. Lauri Williams said the man jumped behind a ticket counter, grabbed the clerk and held her hands behind her back while screaming that he was armed and was affiliated with terrorist groups.
"He suggested he had weapons," Williams said.
Bin Laden's WMD chief once lived in Vancouver, BC
Snip: The ruling does not say when Al Duri, whom the judge said was "reported to be Osama bin Laden's principal procurement agent for weapons of mass destruction," had lived in Canada.
But she said Al Duri had associated with Toronto-based terror suspect Mohamed Mahjoub after December, 1995, and may have also associated with terrorist Essam Marzouk, who lived in B.C. until 1998.

Interesting article, there have been other attacks/threats.
I appreciate your research. The average US citizen doesn't realize the extensive network of these communists. The anti-war tactics are the same as used during Vietnam. The demonstrators are bused around, provided meals, and paid a days wage. This is happening in other countries as well.

RUSSIA is a Slavic nation, and historically an Orthodox Christian one.
But it is also Islamic, and since the fall of the Soviet Union 14 years
ago, Islam has grown increasingly visible and influential. This is
worrisome to some Slavic Russians, who fear not only Muslim
extremists, but the possibility that Russia could one day become a
majority Muslim state.

China: Another river is poisoned as city waits for
water(chemical plant explosion in Chongqing)

Another river is poisoned as city waits for water
By Hamish McDonald Herald Correspondent in Beijing and agencies
November 26, 2005
ANOTHER chemical plant has exploded in China, spewing toxic
benzene into the water supply of a central region as authorities in the
country's north-east struggle to protect millions of people from an
earlier spill.
The blast on Thursday at the Yingte Chemical Co in Dianjiang, part of
the huge Chongqing municipality straddling the middle reaches of the
Yangtze River, killed one worker and forced the evacuation of 6000
nearby residents and the closure of schools.
People in the area were warned not to drink water from the local river,
a tributary of the Yangtze, because of concern that carcinogenic
benzene had spilled.
In Harbin, whose 4 million people yesterday endured their third day
without tap-water, officials evacuated small settlements on the banks
and islands of the Songhua River as an 80-kilometre slick of benzene
flowed by.
About 100 tonnes of benzene were released into the river 370
kilometres upstream by explosions at the Jilil Petrochemical Plant on
November 13 that killed five workers, the State Environmental
Protection Agency has confirmed.
Two reservoirs upstream discharged huge extra amounts of water into
the partially frozen river to dilute the toxic spill.
Harbin, which draws its drinking water from the river, has stored 7150
tonnes of safe water and its government said neighbouring cities no
longer need to truck in bottled water, its website said.
About 1000 soldiers and paramilitary police have been deployed at
several water plants to install filters that can more effectively absorb
nitrobenzene.

A web wise terror network
By Gordon Corera
BBC security correspondent
The capture of alleged al-Qaeda computer expert Mohamed Naem Noor Khan by the Pakistani
authorities in July brought with it an unprecedented haul of high-tech intelligence.
Speaking in London last month, America's homeland security chief Tom Ridge said the volume of potential
information was "the largest we've ever seen - I mean potentially millions and millions of pages of
information", and revealed that intelligence officers had yet to decipher it all.
Communications have always been an essential part of al-Qaeda's strategy, but the internet and email have
become even more important in recent years.
They have provided the terror network with new possibilities - but, as the Khan case illustrates, fresh
vulnerabilities too.
WHY THE WEB?
"The terrorists have fully exploited the modernisation of communications to their advantage," says Sajjan
Gohel of the Asia-Pacific Foundation.
"The al-Qaeda ideology can be very well served on the internet. It is able to purport its agenda, goals and
ideology probably better on the internet than any other means."
As the core of the al-Qaeda leadership has been put under pressure, the organisation has been forced to
evolve and become more decentralised - a structure to which the internet is perfectly suited.
The web offers a way for like-minded people located in different communities to interact - especially
important when operatives may be isolated and having to lie low.
Denied a physical place to meet and organise, al-Qaeda has increasingly sought to create a virtual
community through these chat rooms and websites to spread its propaganda, teaching and training.
"They lost their base in Afghanistan, they lost their training camps, they lost a government that allowed
them do what they want within a country. Now they're surviving on internet to a large degree. It is really
their new base," says terrorism expert Peter Bergen.
Those who watch the issue closely believe that it would be unlikely for al-Qaeda to use websites to
communicate about the most sensitive matters, preferring to use it for general debate, the exchange of
views and attempts to spread its thinking.
The propagation of a jihadist ideology has always been a central goal of al-Qaeda and the internet provides
the broader jihadist movement with an effective vehicle to do this.
But it is not without liabilities, as it can prove a useful way of tracking down the network and closing in on
cells.
Khan's laptop contained a great deal of information - including a huge number of names. Some reports claim
that Khan was in fact working against al-Qaeda - sending messages out to the network and monitoring
their response to track down members, although this has not been confirmed.
SPREADING FEAR
One of the most important weapons in Al-Qaeda's armoury is its ability to generate fear. Jihadist groups in
general use videos and still images of attacks - and especially gruesome attacks like beheadings - as part of
psychological warfare.
These videos and messages have the dual impact of spreading anxiety among enemies while
simultaneously boosting morale for sympathisers and like minded groups.
As well as videos, messages purporting to be from al-Qaeda or al-Qaeda related groups also make frequent
appearances on certain sites. These often involve warnings against countries coupled with the threat of
imminent attacks.
Some of these are undoubtedly false, others probably real. And while some of the messages are directed
internally, in a number of cases - the messages, like the images - are designed to scare.
COMMUNICATING OBJECTIVES
Analysts believe that in some cases, messages are issued to set broad strategic objectives or target lists of
places and people who should be subject to attack with the hope that independent cells, individuals and
networks will then act on these in their own way.
They sometimes display a high degree of political awareness. One important paper entitled "Jihadi Iraq:
Hopes and Dangers", spotted in Norway in December, looks at how members of the coalition occupying Iraq
could be peeled off through terrorist attacks.
Spain is identified as presenting a particular opportunity given the general election that was then a few
months off. It could, of course, be a coincidence that Madrid was then targeted just days before its election,
but no one is sure.
There is less evidence of the internet being used by the Al Qaeda core for issuing specific orders or
operational commands, or even for fundraising.
Email is used more often, but al-Qaeda operatives are trained to avoid detection, only using cyber-cafes
briefly and using an email account for only one message before abandoning it.
Complex but publicly available encryption could also be used, but using this technology could draw attention
- rendering regular message boards and groups a safer way of operating.
The 9/11 hijackers communicated through internet chat rooms, often using codenames and codewords for
their plans. There is also some debate over a technique called steganography, which involves embedding
secret messages within publicly available files and images on the internet, but there is little evidence so that
al-Qaeda has used this.
Similarly there is some debate over whether messages from Osama Bin Laden and his deputy Ayman
Al-Zawahiri contain any kind of message triggering groups around the world to attack. Again here the
evidence is mixed.
DISCUSSING TACTICS
As well as propaganda and ideological material, jihadist sites seem to be heavily used for practical training,
important since the loss of Afghan training camps.
Sites like Al Battar contain hugely detailed information on how to kidnap VIPs, conduct surveillance and fire
rocket propelled grenades.
Careful instructions were recently posted on one jihadist website on how to use mobile phones as
detonators for explosives, as was used in Madrid.
Al-Qaeda's "Encyclopaedia of Jihad" which runs to thousands of pages has also been distributed over the
internet.
The internet can also be a place on which terrorists can research information and find details of potential
targets for attack, often known as 'cyberplanning'. Al Qaeda training manuals have emphasised the
usefulness of publicly available information about its enemy. Huge amount of reconnaissance material and
files have been found on captured computers.
Arguments also rage in chat rooms over what tactics and methods of violence are valid - whether hostage
taking, beheading or the role of innocent - sometimes Muslim - casualties, in attacks.
The aftermath of the Russian school siege was interesting because many messages condemning what had
happened were posted on sites which usually carry gruesome pictures and videos.
RECRUITMENT
Recruitment, often through chat rooms, may take place, and there is some evidence that people have been
given instructions on how to get involved in Iraq.
This summer, a new online publication seeking specifically to encourage women to take part in Jihad
appeared.
Researchers have also noted a rise of participants in radical Islamic forums who write in English or using the
Latin alphabet, possibly reflecting a rise of interest in Muslims in the West in these sites.
SHIFTING SITES
Many Western governments have tried to respond to the communications challenge, using numerous
methods that include monitoring traffic on the net and exchanges in chat rooms, using "sniffers" - programs
that check e-mails for suspicious material, and blocking access to certain websites which contain sensitive
information, according to Gabriel Weimann of Haifa University, who has extensively researched the subject.
The posting of videos is an especially important sign to counterterrorism analysts as it suggests that a
particular website must have access or be used by those who actually carry out acts of violence.
An elaborate game of cat and mouse is often played out as websites move URLs regularly, changing
address to avoid being shut down by ISPs and hackers. The more organised tend to have mirror sites.
Alneda.com which has been thought to be al-Qaeda's primary website, keeps moving, often by embedding
itself within innocent websites.
"As the technology develops, the terrorists keep ahead of the pace as well," warns Sajjan Gohel of the
Asia-Pacific Foundation.
Apart from the occasional video and audio tape, there is less evidence for Osama Bin Laden himself using
high-tech methods. During the 1990s he did communicate through a satellite phone before the fact that the
US could listen in was leaked.
Since then, analysts believe that he mainly communicates through human couriers.

Farmer set on fire in Zimbabwe
By Peta Thornycroft at Ngawarati Farm, Norton
(Filed: 28/11/2005)
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "One of Zimbabwe's last remaining white farmers was strangled and burned to death in an attack inside his home yesterday.
Don Stewart, 68, was set upon shortly before dawn in the bedroom of his tightly-guarded homestead near Norton, 25 miles west of Harare. He was one of the last 300 white farmers left in Zimbabwe. There were 4,000 five years ago."
Cindy, this is so horrible. I pray for the suffering souls who are tortured and die at the hands of barbarians. It just seems to be speeding up.
Sometimes I feel like I have to take a break from FR, the pain of reading even the articles I read for my ping lists breaks my heart.
I try to read scripture or something inspiring every night (and every morning). It's the only way I can keep going.

A Very Special Greeting From All Of Us At JUS to All Of You!
Nov 27, 2005
Bismillah Ar- Rahmaan Er-Raheem,
Since the time of our closure a few short weeks ago, JUS has received hundreds and hundreds of
emails from you, our readers, asking us to reconsider our decision to suspend our publishing
operations. Indeed, we could never have imagined the outpouring of encouragement we have been so
fortunate to receive. We at JUS would like to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to all of
those who wrote and came around us with support. This is the Ummah at its best!
In the final analysis, our decision to close seemed light in comparison to your requests to continue
and today is evidence that we have heeded your calls to press on. Make no mistake, our struggle is
nowhere near over. We remain significantly short of Arabic translators and our operations are still
restricted that affects the level of news coverage we are able to provide. That said, we realize our
unique mix of news is not only in demand but not readily available and with your help, we have
decided to run to the battlefield once again while endeavoring to implement more effective longer
term publishing strategies.
In the meantime, we have already made the first in a series of changes at JUS; that being that we
have suspended news coverage from Islam Memo (Mafkarat al-Islam) and the Iraqi Resistance Report
(which is based on Islam memos news) effective today. Most of you know that this decision has been
coming as in recent months we have had increasing concerns over the validity of their news. Recently
Islam Memo’s reports have directly contradicted those of the Mujahideen that has resulted in the
latter widely discrediting them. We have tried to address this matter directly with Islam Memo
however, even as the portal that provides the widest birth for their news in English, we have yet to
garner a response. Consequently, we can no longer put our seal of approval on either Islam Memo’s or
the Iraqi Resistance Report’s news and they will no longer appear in our pages. As we endeavor to
expand our translations team and reporter network, we will do our best to translate as much of the
news direct from the Mujahideen that we can with current staff levels. Over the next few days, we
will be working the kinks out in our daily operations so your patience is appreciated.
As we strive to resolves the issues ahead of us, please remember we need you with us! JUS is not a
public service. We are not backed by any group, government or association and as an uncut and
uncensored Muslim news source, it is unlikely we will ever have advertisers due to the nature of our
content. This means our ability to operate is directly linked to reader’s support. As many of you
pointed out, JUS is the Ummah's voice, not ours, and while hundreds of thousands of you read us, few
financially support us. If we are to remain over the coming months and years, you must stand with us.
The degree that we can do this work depends on your ability to support us and there is much we can
do if we work together. InshaAllah in the coming days you will see more exciting changes at JUS!
On behalf of all of us at JUS, we thank you for your loyalty, support and readership that has given rise
to JUS today. All praise is to Allah alone that we are once again able to bring you uncut and
uncensored news from the other side of this so-called “war on terrorism”.
May Allah bind the hands of His servants together. Ameen.
Peace and blessing to those who follow His guidance.
The JUS Team
