11-28) 11:46 PST OAKLAND -- An early morning fire gutted one of two
convenience stores where a group of men in suits and bow ties
trashed merchandise last week while denouncing the merchants for
selling alcohol to African Americans.
The fire at the New York Market at 3446 Market St. was reported at
1:19 a.m. today and was contained within about 15 minutes,
authorities said.
Oakland police are investigating whether the fire was arson, said
police spokeswoman Officer Danielle Bowman.
"However, it is too early to tell whether or not it is related to last
week's vandalism," she said.
One fire official said flame accelerant had been detected at the fire
site.

****Our government allows 10,000 religious immigrants per year - now imagine that as mullahs or imams and you get the picture..... There are no printable words to describe my feelings about this. It's way beyond frustration.***
So, if the government tried to halt this now, would the ACLU come out fighting on their behalf?
Sure would be interesting to see the breakdown of religions represented in the 10,000.
kgo.com radio news.
Theya re saying that a clerk working in the liquor store, was kidnapped this morning, when the fire was set.
He was found in the trunk of a car.....alive, I think.
The police have warrants for 6 men, they are not NOI.
Other news:
Two diplomats in Iraq killed today, I think they were Iraqi,

Walking Husaybah
Two Patrols and a Meeting with the Sheikh
By Bill Roggio
The nighttime mounted patrol in Husaybah was followed by a pair of foot patrols. I linked up with the 1st Platoon of Lima Company of the 3rd Marines, 6th Battalion, call sign Jackal 1. 1st Lieutenant William Oren took me on a patrol through the southern neighborhoods outside of Battle Position Beirut.
We snaked through the streets, and my impression of Husaybah changed little from the night’s view. Interspersed with the trash, rubble, pieced-together walled homes and the ever present dogs was a mix of interesting architecture and a multitude of smiling Iraqi children and their parents.
Corporal Austin Hall directed the movement of the mixed squad of Marines and Iraqi troops, and warned me that if children are present, then all is well and the “muj” will not attack. We ran into children every where we went, and some crafty ones managed to meet us several times, always looking for candy or other handouts.
The platoon’s interpreter, or “terp” is a young Brit of Iraqi lineage named Icy, much wiser than his twenty years. He just turned twenty during this deployment and is on his third year as a Coalition interpreter, having served in Afghanistan and elsewhere in Iraq. Icy moved along the city street with the ease of a city mayor, and often stopped at haji shops to purchase sweets for us to distribute to the children.
Both Lieutenant Oren and Corporal Hall explained the successful patrol in Husaybah this afternoon would have been unheard of just three weeks ago prior to Operation Steel Curtain. “Over three weeks ago, we wouldn’t have gotten 200 feet into this city without taking fire”, said Cpl Hall.
The Iraqi troops that patrolled with the squad were quite impressive. Having served as an infantryman, I was curious to see how they handled themselves while patrolling through an urban environment, one of the most dangerous tasks for the infantry. An Iraqi soldier ran point, the entire way. They understood and responded to hand signals, maintained their intervals and guarded intersections during crossings. All the while talking to the residents of Husaybah. Other than their uniforms, they were virtually indistinguishable from their Marine counterparts - no small feat.
The evening proved even more interesting. A quick patrol was put together, but for a different purpose. The objective was a meeting with local sheikhs of a tribe in Husaybah. Another mixed patrol of Iraqi solders and Marines took us to the home of a local sheikh and several senior leaders of his tribe. Lieutenant Oren and Icy were to attend, and invited me to join.
We removed our boots and gear, and entered the home, to receive warm greetings from the tribal leaders. We sat on the blanketed floor, sipped sweet chai, and smoked cigarettes while Lieutenant Oren and the sheikhs discussed, via Icy, various issues of import to both the tribe and the Marines. The Marines and Iraqi soldiers stood by for almost an hour and a half until the meeting ended, with smiles, warm handshakes and a group photo.
The walk back to Battle Position Beirut through the darkness of Husaybah ended as uneventful as the morning patrol. What a difference one month makes in this corner of Iraq.

Snip: MIAMI - Miami police announced Monday they will stage random shows of force at hotels, banks and other public places to keep terrorists guessing and remind people to be vigilant.
Deputy Police Chief Frank Fernandez said officers might, for example, surround a bank building, check the IDs of everyone going in and out and hand out leaflets about terror threats. "This is an in-your-face type of strategy. It's letting the terrorists know we are out there," Fernandez said.
Snip: After reviewing thousands of studies, an international team of scientists found that CPR is too complicated for the average person. That is deadly for the more than 250,000 people who collapse each year in cardiac arrest.
"The most common reason many people die is because no one nearby knew CPR, or if they did know it, they didn't actually do it," says Michael Sayre of Ohio State University in Columbus, one of the authors of the new guidelines.
Now it's simple: Call for help. Push the chest. Don't stop. Two rescue breaths can be given after every 30 compressions, but mouth-to-mouth is optional.
Canyon County labels gang activity Domestic Terrorism
Snip: The federal government has tightened guidelines for emergency management procedures after Y2K and the attacks on the World Trade Center. Canyon County Commissioners say gang activity should be included in the revisions, but some question if categorizing gangs in the emergency plan will change how the county deals with the problem.
Stockholm mosque calls for extermination of Jews
Snip: Swedish Radio News (SRN) reported today that a Stockholm mosque is selling cassettes calling for a genocidal holy war against the Jews. According to SRN, the cover of one of the cassettes shows a picture of the Statue of Liberty draped in a burning American flag.
Sales of cassettes promoting genocide are illegal in Sweden. A spokesman for the mosque blamed volunteers for stocking the mosque bookstore with the cassettes.
Shoe bombers, as in Flight 800, you know the bare wire in the fuel tank.
Released, mission was not completed, keep trying, until you get it right.
Makes one think the whole world is insane.
Make a muslim council mad and bombers are released........
Yes, ACLU will come out fighting, as most of the 10,000 will be muslims.
Africa today, some other country tomorrow. It never stops. One inspector not doing their job is all it will take for hundreds to die. Thankfully, thus far, the inspectors have been performing their jobs well.
What is a muj?
Amen Cindy! You said it all here!
Snip: From January to November, 3,413 mining accidents occurred in China and killed 5,286 people, a decrease of 253 cases and 451 people from the first 11 months of last year, said Wang Xianzheng, director of the State Administration of Work Safety (SAWS), at a teleconference on production safety Tuesday.
Saudi king says Iraq war benefited Iran
Mon. 28 Nov 2005
Iran Focus
London, Nov. 28 – King Abdullah Bin-Abd-al-Aziz Al Saud told a London-based Arabic daily that the United States-led war on Iraq benefited Iran’s clerical rulers.
“The result of the war in Iraq has been to the benefit of the Iranian regime”, the Saudi King told the daily al-Hayat.
King Abdullah told the paper that Tehran had sent Riyadh several messages, explaining that Iran and Syria were under great international pressure and were heading for crises.
Tehran had reportedly requested Riyadh’s support in the face of U.S. pressure over its suspected nuclear weapons program, support for the insurgency in Iraq, and opposition to the Middle East peace process.
Ali Velayati, a former Iranian Foreign Minister and a close aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei travelled last week to Saudi Arabia to deliver a message from senior Iranian officials to King Abdullah, according to Iran’s state-run press.

"Second out-of-town scuba diver this month dies in Broward"
BY DIANA MOSKOVITZ
dmoskovitz@herald.com
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A 64-year-old Virginia man out diving with friends died on Monday after he started having trouble breathing in the water, officials said.
His is the second death of an out-of-town diver in Broward County this month. A New Hampshire man was found dead in scuba gear in the waters off Fort Lauderdale two weeks ago.
The Broward Medical Examiners Office is investigating the cause of death. The cause may be heart related, Pompano Beach spokesman Sandra King said."
