Snip; Sprague, Washington residents are under a boil order this weekend after tests have shown E.coli contamination. City and State officials are trying to pinpoint the cause of the contamination and are working at disinfecting and flushing the system. They expect to be able to lift the order by Monday, Nov. 21. Stay tuned to News4 for further coverage.
Al Qaeda sorry for Muslim dead
Snip: In a message posted on an Islamist website often used by insurgent groups in Iraq, alZarqawi struck a rare defensive tone, insisting that al-Qaeda had checked the hotels and found they were “nests” of US, Israeli and Jordanian spies.
“We ask God to have mercy on the Muslims, whom we did not intend to target, even if they were in hotels which are centres of immorality,” the voice on the tape said. It was not possible to verify the authenticity of the tape, but US officials said that the voice sounded like al-Zarqawi.
9th Circuit Court - spokesmen for Mecca
Snip: SAN FRANCISCO A federal appeals court in San Francisco has rejected a lawsuit brought by parents of two Christian seventh-graders who accused a Contra Costa County school of indoctrinating them with Islam.
The San Francisco-based Ninth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals says the Byron Unified School District was merely educating them about Islam.
Family of Muslim defector slaughtered
Snip: A curious boy looks on as a forensic expert gathers evidence at the scene where nine family members, including an eight-month-old boy, were gunned down by suspected militants in Narathiwat. Narathiwat – A former militant and his wife and seven children were brutally gunned down while they were asleep by suspected militants yesterday, in what officials said was a revenge attack against an insurgent turned police informant.
Two generations of the Ahwehbeusoh family, including seven children ranging from eight months to 23 years old, were shot dead in what Narathiwat governor Pracha Taerat said was a brutally vengeful attack.
“The attackers wanted revenge because the victim, who used to be a supporter of the insurgency, had been cooperating with officials by reporting the movement of insurgents for more than five months,” Pracha told reporters, after visiting the scene of the attack yesterday.
Tapes reveal Islamic terrorist's twisted mind
Snip: On the video, the abductors announce their sentence of "execution", and as Berg screams in agony as the knife bites into his neck, Mohamed the Egyptian yells: "Go to hell, enemy of God! Kill him! Kill him! Yes, like that! Cut his throat properly, cut his head off! If I had been there I would have burnt him, to make him already feel what hell is like. Cut off his head! God is great! God is great!"
The discomfort of Yahia Ragheh is palpable. "Isn't it a sin?" he asks. Ahmed says: "Who said that? It is never a sin. We hope even their parents will come to the same end. Dogs, all of them, all of them. You simply need to be convinced when you make the decision."
Website outlines attacks on foreigners in Indonesia
Snip: It suggests a popular shopping mall as one of the best venues for an attack. Police said they were investigating the Indonesian-language site, but have not closed it down.
It includes a very basic map of a mall and nearby offices, and gives simplistic instructions like "ensure the target is killed by shooting him several times in the heart and head."
Absolutely horrible.
Note:
"The San Francisco-based Ninth U-S Circuit Court of Appeals says the Byron Unified School District was merely educating them about Islam."
Isn't it amazing that public schools in our contry are allowed to "educate" about Islam but can't have the slightest tinge of anything about Jesus? Not even Christmas carols, plays, or Nativity scenes?
Has the world gone mad or what?

MOSCOW, Nov. 18 (Xinhuanet) -- Russian secret services in Chechnya have killed a senior al Qaeda representative in Chechnya, head of the regional headquarters in control of the anti-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus said on Friday.
The militant, identified as Jaber, was killed in a special operation launched by an army elite reconnaissance unit near the village of Avtury, Shali district, on Nov. 11. He was reportedly al Qaeda's mastermind and financier of recent high-profile terrorist attack in the republic, head of the regional headquarters Col-Gen Arkady Yedelev told Itar-Tass news agency.
Jaber organized terrorist attacks in Znamenskoye and Grozny, and is behind the attack on the village of Roshni-Chu in August, according to the Russian media.
The general said illegal armed group received a large financialblow recently, which is directly linked with the gangs' attempt to unsettle the situation in the republic ahead of the parliamentary election scheduled on Nov. 27.
Jaber has been heading a group of foreign mercenaries since 2001, which smuggled gunmen from Georgia's Pankisi Gorge into Russia. He was also the successor to Abu al Walid, an Arab mercenary who in turn, took over from Khattab.
