Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

Just finished watching a documentary on HBO Signature about the Beslan School Siege. It was told by the kids that had to live though it. Very hard hitting. They spoke of how their friends and parents died, how much they miss the ones killed, and how badly the want revenge on the terrorists who did this terrible thing.

If anyone gets the chance I was recommend they watch it. It will make your blood boil.

Charges dropped against Christian
Afghan court dismisses case against man who left Islam

The Afghan man facing a possible death sentence for converting from Islam to Christianity scored a victory today when a court in Kabul dismissed the case against him.

Now we need to unite and bombard the Senate with phone calls by tomorrow, leave a message to your Senators about the hearings starting tomorrow on illegal immigration and that you support the Sensenbreenner bill

NOTE: CALL your Senators NOW! Believe me if they get enough messages they will have to respond!

FAIR Urges Senate to Pass an Immigration Enforcement Bill Without Illegal Alien Amnesty or Guest Worker Provision

Washington, DC—-On the eve of what appears to be the beginning of consideration by the full Senate of immigration legislation, the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is urging the Senate to reject any proposal that includes legalization for those who have violated U.S. immigration laws, or a guest worker program that will undermine the interests of American workers. FAIR strongly opposes the bill offered by Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA.), as well as similar ones introduced by Senators John McCain (R-AZ.) and Edward Kennedy (D-MA.), and Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and John Kyl (R-AZ).

If It’s Monday, It Must be Mexico’s Turn to Make Demands on U.S. Immigration Policy
Bush Administration, Congress Silent on Foreign Interference into U.S. Internal Affairs

Washington, DC -- A full-page ad in America’s leading daily newspapers, paid for by the government of Mexico, deliberately timed to influence a congressional debate about U.S. immigration policy, brazenly declares the exercise of U.S. sovereignty must be a “shared responsibility,” with Mexico having a voice. The Mexican government is only the latest foreign government to publicly demand a say in U.S. immigration policy. This past weekend saw similar demands for special treatment made by the governments of Ireland, Lebanon and Slovakia, all of whom want amnesty for their citizens who are living illegally in the U.S., and access to the American labor market through a vastly expanded guest worker program.
