"Women of Al Qaeda"
MSNBC ^ | December 12 2005 | Christopher Dickey

It's a good idea to check your emergency medicine supplies periodically. Somehow our bandaid supply was pretty diminished and had to be replenished. Some of us began getting these supplies together well over a year ago if not longer. It doesn't hurt to re-examine the contents and make sure everything you'll need is included. I read that the common kitchen spice tumeric is great at stopping bleeding:
Snip: Sores/Wounds: Keep turmeric in your first aid kit! It acts quickly to help stop bleeding, plus because of its anti-bacterial quality, will help prevent infection. For cuts, pile on the turmeric, cover with gauze, and apply pressure to the area to stop the bleeding. Of course, serious wounds require immediate medical attention.
Just yesterday, I threw out a bottle of expired aspirin.
Snip: "This emerging crisis exposes the upside-down thinking of federal immigration policy," he said. "While legal immigrants must undergo health screening prior to entering the U.S., illegal immigrants far more likely to be carrying contagious diseases are crawling under that safeguard and going undetected until they infect extraordinary numbers of American residents."
"This is one of the cheap thrills of cheap labor," said Childress. "As you may have noticed, many immigrants, legal or otherwise, are employed -- if they are at all -- as cooks, dishwashers, waiters and food handlers. And it's a fact that Hepatitis A, B, and C show up in fast food environments."

Wow, thanks for that ping MamaD. I had almost given up looking for him. I periodically check to see if there's any news. I had almost convinced myself we had him secretly in custody when I couldn't find him on the most wanted list any longer. I think this is the first report I've seen in over a year and a half!!

Oslo Transit For KGB Active Measures In Middle East
Russian and German Archives | Des. 4, 2005 | I. Lazarenko
Posted on 12/04/2005 7:14:49 AM PST by Lazarenko
Oslo, Norway, was not only the capitol for Norwegians, but hosted also hard core Russian-fabricated "active measures", international political manipulation from the Russian secret police, KGB. With key Norwegian politicians as tools: Result of comprehensive archive research mixed with defectors interviews and statements, makes following question relevant: Russian KGB had way back to the 50'ies and to 1991 ("Arctic group") a sucessful, ongoing campaign of active measures (Service A) from Oslo to Great Britain, West Germany, the US and the UN. 50 years of dirty, political tricks that of course should be brought to the limelite.
Seriosly speaking/writing - there is so much hard data on a KGB code names from DOR-dossiers etc. on very sentral (and still going strong) politicians in Norway that it briefly looks like a political tragedy, political "Titanic". After some closeups - it really looks even worse so. There seem to be two main field in this: Security/Defense/NATO issues and Middle East. The latter looks to be related to early contacts from Oslo into the Middel East and the United Nation as well, under the ever lasting (KGB) word - "pease".
The most famous spy ever taken in Norway, mr. Arne Treholt, an executive in the Norwegian Foreign ministeries that was taken down by American FBI, British and Norwegian counter intelligence in 1984, had KGB contacts for years that paid him well and was specialized on the PLO and Middle East affaires from KGB schools and institutes in Moscow. The operative "Back channel" from Oslo to the PLO in Beyrouth was effective from 1976, into a Palestinian KGB agent (for years) located in a under cover Western Beyrouth apartment. Regular secret meets came early in 1977, and continued over the establishment of a new research institute - FAFO - in the main Norwegian labour union, LO, in 1982. Formally, at the initiative of Terje Rod Larsen, now depty under the secretary general of the UN (Mid East/Lebanese-Syrian affaires).
I need contact to people and sources out there that may have further information and "channels" to complete the story as mentioned above.

A tea bag works well to stop bleeding. The tannin in it is an astringent and is used for tanning leather. Use a wet tea bag. It works instantly. It stings too.
Wow, that is a chilling article MamaD. When they have stories about meth addicts on the local evening news it is usually pretty scary. Those people look like they have lost their souls to the drug. Now, this drug that the Mehdi Army is using, sounds even worse.
Militants' new tack in cyber war
A new twist has surfaced in the cyber war being waged by Islamic militants.
A message has been posted to several radical Islamist - or jihadi - websites announcing a competition to design a new site for a militant group in Iraq.
The prize offered is the chance to fire missiles remote-controlled by computer at a US military base in Iraq.

Saddam and KGB link, this report was published and posted in Google groups in 1999.
Arms, money, training, it is long and you will want to read it.
The links are good, even shows where to find out about Saddams WMD, his secret route and some of the newer missile improvements he got from Russia.
On the link below a poster comments on clintons trip to russia. at the end of the article.
It appears that clinton knew from the CIA in the 90's/95 what was going on.

We had a post the other day, about the Christians that were murdered, and linked to a website.
Take a look at the this 1999 article, that has Saddam links.
The Long Arm of Saddam Hussein
FBI officials now believe that the brutal murder of an Iraqi-American family in late May was likely perpetrated by the Iraqi secret police. This would be the first successful assassination attempt carried out by Baghdad inside the United States.
Khazal Taima, his wife Dorothy and teenage son Leith were shot to death at their home in the Washington DC suburb of McLean during Memorial Day weekend. The crime scene, however, was almost totally bereft of physical evidence-- investigators found no sign of forced entry and no murder weapon--leading investigators to discount the possibility that the deaths resulted from a domestic dispute, robbery attempt, or suicide. The three victims were clearly murdered by someone they knew or had allowed into the house.
But who?
Taima, 63, was a well-known consultant and financier who had a long history of business dealings with the Iraqi government. In the mid-1980s, one of his consulting firms landed a $10 million contract selling American-made oil and gas machinery to the Iraqi government. "He went to Baghdad a lot," remembers a U.S. Commerce Department official who asked not to be named. "He was aggressive, a real dynamo."1 Taima even had a photograph of himself and Saddam Hussein prominently displayed in his home.
After the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990, Taima's financial assets in Iraq were frozen by U.S. trade sanctions. During the buildup to war that fall, Taima founded the American Iraqi Foundation, aimed at " improving relations" between the U.S. and Iraq, and reportedly met with President George Bush at the White House to push for a negotiated settlement. After the war, Taima appeared frequently on national television to criticize the sanctions against Iraq.
Taima's financial situation deteriorated greatly during the 1990's due to the continuing economic sanctions against Iraq. However, he began making frequent business trips to Baghdad over the last couple years. Around this time, Taima began to fear for his life, often telling acquaintances that he had received death threats. "He was afraid someone might kill him," said a neighbor, Betsy Crawford. He told friends and family members that his car had been firebombed, though police say they have no record of this.
Shortly before his murder, Taima returned from a visit to Baghdad and told family members that his financial troubles were over. His father-in-law recalled Taima talking about a "good contract" just a couple days before his death.

Iraqi Opposition Groups Proliferate
In nature, it is said that predators have an instinctual ability to sense when an animal much larger and more powerful than themselves is incapacitated and unable to successfully defend itself. A similar phenomenon seems to be taking place in Iraq, where Saddam Hussein's aura of invincibility appears to have been resoundingly shattered. The critical turning point appears to have been the regime's assassination of Shi'ite leader Ayatollah Mohammed Sadiq al-Sader in February--an act so abhorrent to Iraqi Shi'ites that many perceived it as an act of desperation. After all, stable authoritarian regimes to not need to murder well-known public figures. Sensing this vulnerability, a number of hitherto unknown opposition groups have risen to challenge the Ba'athist regime in recent months.
In April, two groups emerged, calling themselves the "Iraqi Democratic Action Movement" and "National Options."
In May, a group calling itself the "Iraqi Army Officers' Organization - General Command" claimed credit for a number of assassinations and attacks on Ba'ath Party buildings.
In June, a previously unknown Iraqi group calling itself the "Iraqi Vanguards for National Salvation" claimed responsibility for a June 14 car bomb attack in downtown Baghdad. The car, a white Datsun containing Katyusha-105 bombs, detonated in the eastern Karradah district, a residential area where members of the Special Security service live. The group said it carried out the operation "to avenge the innocent blood of the martyrs of Islam, foremost among them martyred Shi'ite leader Muhammad Al-Sadr."1
At the beginning of July, a group calling itself the "Command of Free Fighters" announced that it had seized a secret arms depot in Diyala and captured a biochemical weapon that "the regime's forces used in artillery shells and missiles." The group described itself as consisting of "Iraqi Army officers, some officials, and [elements] from the tribes."2
There has also been a dramatic rise in opposition organized around tribal affiliations. Earlier this month, at least 40 Iraqi soldiers and Ba'ath party officials were killed in two pitched battles with members of the Albu Hassan clan near the town of Rumaitha in southern Iraq. In retaliation for the execution of three members of the clan on alleged charges of drug trafficking, Albu Hassan tribesmen attacked the Ba'ath Party's offices in the town of Rumaitha on July 3, killing Iraq's chief of the southern military intelligence, Lt. Gen. Nadhem al-Jubouri, the chief of Rumaitha's security, Lt. Colonel Mohsen al-Kutawi, as well as 17 Ba'ath Party members. The next day, an assault by Iraqi army units against the clan's residential area was repulsed by tribesman armed with mortars, rocket propelled grenades and anti-tank weapons. At least 20 Iraqi soldiers were killed.
"This is the most significant unrest since the uprisings following the 1991 war," said Judith Yaphe, an Iraq specialist at National Defense University in Washington. "The problems that started this spring in the south have continued to elude Saddam's ability to resolve them." Steadily worsening economic conditions have also fueled domestic unrest--Iraq's currency plummeted to a new low over the last two months (1,200 dinars to the U.S. dollar).

Iraq, North Korea and Russia May Have Stocks of Smallpox Virus
13 June 1999
The New York Times reported today that a U.S. intelligence report completed earlier this year concluded that Iraq, North Korea and Russia are probably maintaining supplies of the smallpox virus for military use. U.S. officials said that the report's findings were based on disclosures by a Soviet defector, blood samples taken from North Korean soldiers indicating recent smallpox vaccinations and evidence that Iraq has manufactured vaccine for smallpox in significant quantities. The report prompted President Bill Clinton to reverse an earlier decision to destroy US stocks of the virus.

Bin Laden Prepares to Strike Again
Osama Bin Laden
In a recent interview on Qatar's al-Jazeera satellite television, exiled Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden promised that more attacks against the United States are yet to come. There have been numerous indications in recent weeks that he is planning to do just that.
On June 25, the United States temporarily closed six of its embassies in Africa after obtaining "concrete information" that Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda terror network is in the "advanced stages" of planning another attack. The embassies in Namibia, Senegal, Madagascar, Liberia, Togo and Gambia were closed after US intelligence intercepted phone conversations in which bin Laden's operatives discussed the transferal of explosives and personnel, and several embassies had reported being under surveillance by suspicious individuals. "We have seen a pattern of activity indicating continued planning for terrorist attacks by members of Osama bin Laden's network," said State Department spokesman James Rubin, "and we take reporting of such threats seriously."
U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Defense Secretary William Cohen both canceled planned visits to Albania this month after receiving what a U.S. official called "very current intelligence" indicating that bin Laden's operatives were in Albania with orders to strike a high profile American target. "We consider Osama bin Laden a worldwide threat, and we are taking, and have been taking, the necessary measures to deal with it," said Albright.
There is also evidence that a group in Pakistan closely associated with bin Laden is planning attacks against the U.S. The militant Harakat al-Mujahideen organization (whose training camps in Afghanistan were hit in the U.S. cruise missile last year against bin Laden's network of bases) recently issued a ban on "the travel of all American citizens, including diplomats" to Kashmir. According to a July 15 travel warning issued by the State Department, "the U.S. government has received a growing body of information that suggests strongly that extremists based in Afghanistan are preparing to attack U.S. interests in Pakistan in the near future."
American officials have also discovered evidence that bin Laden is planning a major attack to mark the first anniversary of last year's embassy bombings. Information has been intercepted "that suggested that preparations had been completed," said an intelligence source in Washington earlier this month.
Many in the intelligence community are astonished that bin Laden has been this active despite encountering several setbacks in recent months. The Taliban militia in Afghanistan is reportedly considering turning Bin Laden over to a neutral country for trial on charges of masterminding last year's embassy bombings. He has been forced to move his headquarters in Afghanistan to the village of Farmihadda in hills south of Jalalabad (near the border with Pakistan). In addition, several active members of his Al Qaeda terror network have been arrested around the world. Moreover, there are reports that bin Laden has narrowly survived three assassination attempts in recent months and suffers from an unspecified illness.
Despite all of this, bin Laden's network of terrorists keeps managing to regenerate itself. The key to this resurgence is his continual supply of money from wealthy Islamic followers. The CIA recently discovered that money has been channeled to bin Laden from his family and other supporters through the Dubai Islamic Bank in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Senior U.S. Treasury Department and the National Security Council officials were sent to the UAE earlier this month to stem the flow. State Department spokesman James Foley said on July 8 that the the UAE government has "taken steps to clean up the bank and to restore its reputation."
Meanwhile, Saudi investigators uncovered a second channel of funding, leading from Riyadh to London. According to U.S. sources, the money was transferred from bank accounts in Saudi Arabia to a Saudi-owned financial institution in London which is now being investigated by British authorities. "The Saudis were really taken aback when they found out the net worth and status of some of the people sending money to Osama. Together they owned about $20 billion in assets. These were pillars of the establishment," said a U.S. intelligence analyst with close ties to the Saudi government. He added that one of the suspected donors was a Saudi prince. More than $50 million had been transferred through this channel to bin Laden's before the flow was cut off.1
According to Kenneth Katzman of the Congressional Research Service, bin Laden now has the resources to strike U.S. targets anywhere in the world. With up to $300 million in independent sources of financing and operatives of many different nationalities, "he's really come into a position where he threatens a broad range of U.S. policy interests," Katzman told CNN last month. "He could try to strike in Latin America. He could strike in Mexico, the Far East -- even in Washington, D.C."
Unfortunately, conspicuous efforts to avert these attacks, such as closing embassies and canceling visits abroad by high-ranking U.S. officials, allows bin Laden to portray himself as the heroic Islamic fighter who makes the world's only superpower tremble before him. "When you close six embassies in a region in the world, you send a message to the world that . . . the terrorists made us blink," said Harvey Kushner, chairman of the Criminal Justice Department at Long Island University.
