"Major Al Qaeda Leader Arrested in Pakistan May be in U.S."
Tuesday, May 02, 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "KABUL, Afghanistan — A top Al Qaeda leader whose links stretch from Afghan terror training camps to extremist networks operating throughout Europe has been detained in neighboring Pakistan and possibly handed over to American authorities, according to a U.S. law enforcement official.
Mustafa Setmarian Nasar, a Syrian who also holds Spanish citizenship, was captured in a November 2005 sting in the southwestern Pakistani city of Quetta that left one person dead, said the American official, who declined to be identified further because the matter is sensitive.
The official, who spoke to The Associated Press late last week, said Nasar, who is also known as Abu Musab al-Suri, may now be in U.S. custody but did not specify where. He declined to comment further."
this "day w/o immigrants",
OMG, the riots, the pillaging! Where's the humanity! LOL. This non event gave up around here mid-stream to open the boycotting "latino" stores. The Mexicans(PC?) had to grocery shop. Can anyone say BUST!
We should show our support for the immigrants and send them all home on cinco de Mayo! Who needs 'em . . .

Major Al Qaeda Leader Arrested in Pakistan May Be in U.S. Custody

KABUL, Afghanistan — A top Al Qaeda leader whose links stretch from Afghan terror training camps to extremist networks operating throughout Europe has been detained in neighboring Pakistan and possibly handed over to American authorities, according to a U.S. law enforcement official.

BUMP!!!
Nasar reportedly captured!
I heard that report, JP. It wasn't about a new capture.
They interviewed the Customs Inspector who, in 2003, turned away this terrorist at O'Hare:

Not even killer flu to shut U.S. border
WorldNetDaily ^ | May 2, 2006
While nationwide demonstrations focus America's attention on the issue of illegal immigration and U.S. borders, the federal government will apparently not close the border even in the face of deadly bird flu or a super strain of influenza.

Dutch Worry About Radical Muslims in the Military
Brussels Journal ^ | 2 may 06 | Paul Belien
The Dutch secret services AIVD (state intelligence) and MIVD (military intelligence) are investigating an unknown number of Muslims within the Dutch army. Last Saturday, the Dutch newspaper Het Parool reported that a growing number of Dutch soldiers sympathizes with radical Islamists.
The paper refers to the annual report of the MIVD, which states that it conducted a number of investigations into “alleged radicalisation of military personnel” as “there are signs that indicate a possible radicalisation of Muslim individuals or groups within the armed forces."

Fear the phone, not the doorknob, US germ expert says
By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent Tue May 2, 8:39 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Worried about colds, flu and other germs?
---
"Usually the dirtiest handles in public restrooms are urinal flush handles,"
---
"Most people don't realize that they actually should wash their hands ( before and ) after they make dinner and also after they do the laundry," Gerba said.
Americans have moved to short-cycle, cold-water washes to save energy and wear and tear on clothing, but this leaves viruses and bacteria largely intact.
"Water at 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) will sanitize laundry," Gerba said. But only 5 percent of Americans use hot water for laundry.
And viruses such as hepatitis A, rotavirus and bacteria such as Salmonella -- all of which cause stomach upsets and diarrhea -- can easily survive the average 28-minute drying cycle.
These are all carried fecally. "There is about a 10th of a gram of feces in the average pair of underwear," Gerba says. "You don't want to be doing your handkerchiefs with your underwear."

Can you imagine the amount of bacteria and viruses passed between people when clothing are washed in a public laundromat?
Yep, in November.

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520
This information is current as of today, Tue May 02 2006 12:36:49 GMT-0700.
LEBANON
May 02, 2006
This Travel Warning updates information on threats to American citizens and interests in Lebanon. It supersedes the Travel Warning for Lebanon issued November 7, 2005.
The Department of State urges U.S. citizens to carefully weigh the necessity of their travel to Lebanon in light of the risks noted below. U.S. citizens in Lebanon are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy in Beirut where they may also obtain updated information on travel and security in Lebanon. See registration details below.
Recent events in Lebanon underscore the need for caution and sound personal security precautions. Former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was assassinated on February 14, 2005 in a car bomb attack in which at least 22 other people were killed and many others seriously wounded; the potential for violence remains. Since March 2005, there have been 13 separate bombings in Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of at least 11 people and injuries to more than 100 others.
Historically, Americans have been the targets of numerous terrorist attacks in Lebanon. The perpetrators of many of these attacks are still present and retain the ability to act. American citizens should thus keep a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel. Americans should also pay close attention to their personal security at locations where Westerners are generally known to congregate, and should avoid demonstrations and large gatherings.
In January 2006, Lebanese authorities arrested suspected members of an al-Qaeda group in Beirut. The presence of al-Qaeda in Lebanon raises the potential threat to U.S. citizens and interests.
In February 2006, demonstrations against newspaper cartoons that satirized the Prophet resulted in damage to the building housing the Danish consulate, as well as surrounding homes, commercial enterprises, a church, and vehicles.
The U.S. Government considers the potential threat to U.S. Government personnel assigned to Beirut sufficiently serious to require them to live and work under a strict security regime. This limits, and may occasionally prevent, the movement of U.S. Embassy officials in certain areas of the country. These factors, plus limited staffing, may hinder timely assistance to Americans in Lebanon. Unofficial travel to Lebanon by U.S. Government employees and their family members requires prior approval by the Department of State.
U.S. citizens who travel to Lebanon despite this Travel Warning should exercise heightened caution when traveling in parts of the southern suburbs of Beirut, portions of the Bekaa Valley and South Lebanon, and the cities of Sidon and Tripoli. Hizballah has not been disarmed, it maintains a strong presence in many of these areas, and there is the potential for action by other extremist groups in Tripoli.
American air carriers are prohibited from using Beirut International Airport (BIA) due to continuing concern about airport and aircraft security arrangements. For similar reasons, the Lebanese carrier Middle East Airlines (MEA) is not permitted to operate service into the United States. Official U.S. government travelers exercise additional security measures when using Beirut International Airport.
Palestinian groups hostile to both the Lebanese government and the U.S. operate largely autonomously inside refugee camps in different areas of the country. Intra-communal violence within the camps has resulted in violent incidents such as shootings and explosions. Occasionally this violence spills over into neighboring cities and towns. Travel by U.S. citizens to Palestinian camps should be avoided. Asbat al-Ansar, a terrorist group with apparent links to al-Qaeda, has targeted Lebanese, U.S. and other foreign government interests. It has been outlawed by the Lebanese government but continues to maintain a presence in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp.
Dangers posed by landmines and unexploded ordnance throughout south Lebanon are significant and also exist in other areas where civil war fighting was intense. Travelers should be aware of posted landmine warnings and strictly avoid all areas where landmines and unexploded ordnance may be present. Tensions remain in Lebanon's southern border with the possibility of Hizballah and Palestinian militant activity at any time.
The Embassy is located in Awkar, near Antelias, Beirut, Lebanon. Public access hours for American citizens are Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. However, American citizens who require emergency services outside of these hours may contact the Embassy by telephone at any time. The telephone numbers are (961-4) 542-600, 543-600, and fax 544-209. American citizens may register with the Embassy online by visiting https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs. Information on consular services and registration can also be found at http://lebanon.usembassy.gov/ or by phone at the above telephone numbers between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday local time.
Updated information on travel and security in Lebanon may be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747 within the United States or, from overseas, 1-202-501-4444. Additional details can be found in the Department of State's Consular Information Sheet for Lebanon, the Worldwide Caution Public Announcement, the Middle East and North Africa Public Announcement and the Travel Publication A Safe Trip Abroad, all of which are available on the Department's Internet site at http://travel.state.gov.

"MEDIA IGNORES SECURITY QUESTIONS
IN MASS DEMONSTRATIONS"
May 2, 2006
International News Analysis Today
www.inatoday.com
or
www.internationalnewsanalysis.com
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The first day in May is revered among Socialists as International Workers Day, and in the U.S. it is, ironically, designated as Law Day."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The U.S. has already been the subject of intense infiltration and attempted political influence. For decades the communist regime of Fidel Castro's Cuba has operated a highly sophisticated intelligence service within the U.S. Castro's understudy, Hugo Chavez, president of oil rich Venezuela, has conducted a campaign to bring his influence into the Latin American sectors of U.S. society. Articles on Chavez, which presents the Marxist leader in a positive light, appear in Spanish-language newspapers.
Chavez has already been condemned for interference in elections in several Latin American nations.
While U.S. flags were highly visible during the rallies, many demonstrated participants echoed demands coming from Communist rallies which demanded free movement of people from the north of Canada to the southern tip of South America. During the August 2005 "16th World Youth and Students Festival" held in Caracas, Venezuela participants called for the goal of Marxist revolutionary "Comandante" Che Guevara: "from the tip of Canadian territories in the Arctic Circle to the Straits of Magellan.""
