Bin Laden Says Will Take Fight to America
(Full Story)

Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden said his group reserved the right to fight the United States on its land and warned Washington and the world community against sending forces to Somalia, according to an Internet audio tape.

"We will fight its (U.S.) soldiers on the land of Somalia ... and we reserve the right to punish it on its land and anywhere possible," said the speaker, who sounded like the Saudi-born militant.

"We warn all of the countries in the world not to respond to America by sending international troops to Somalia," he said of the African nation where Islamists' power is rising.

The forums that I monitor have been very quiet the last two weeks. No recent OBL video/audio links either.

RE: Judge permits defamation suit

From reading the article is sounds like the suit is merit less. They were reporting on the land sale where the mooselimbs were going to build the mosque. What a bunch of whining mooselimbs (no surprise there). I'm sure CAIR will get in the middle of the mess.

Last night I saw a mention of a new UBL tape that was supposed to be out. Looked around the forums and couldn't find a link, or anything else for that matter. Hmmm.

Something does not add up with the Saleh Al Suwailem case. I sure hope they are going to keep an eye on him.

Somalia: Top Islamic cleric declares Jihad (Holy war) against Ethiopia
Fri. July 21, 2006 09:05 am.

(SomaliNet) The arrival of the Ethiopian troops in some regions of Somalia indicates the animosity of the Ethiopian government that it has been unwilling for goodness and nationalism to the Somali society for 16 years, supreme leader of consultative council of Islamic courts Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys said in an interview with Mogadishu based Somalia Radio Shabelle on Friday.

Sheikh Aweys who is now in Somalia central Galgadud region harshly attacked the Ethiopian intervention as illegal occupation in Somalia territory and declared all out holy war (Jihad) against Ethiopian forces in Bay and Bakol regions in southwest of Somalia.

Pakistan: Bin Laden Hiding On China Border

Islamabad, 21 July (AKI) -
The Pakistani authorities on Thursday ordered the evacuation of a northern area of the country, near the border with China, of tourists and foreigners after receiving intelligence reports of the possible presence of Osama bin Laden in the area. According to Arab daily al-Hayat, the presence of the al-Qaeda leader was reported in the extreme north of Pakistan in an area that borders China and Afghanistan. For this reason hundreds of tourists - most of them European - were made to leave the Chalinji Pass and the Wakhan corridor and the security forces closed all access to the area.

The intelligence reports that had reached Islamabad indicated that bin Laden and his deputy Egyptian doctor Ayman al-Zawahiri - along with other leading figures of the al-Qaeda terror network - had decided to use the area bordering China as a secure refuge as it is not controlled by the US military.

Israel's military stunned by the failure of its air war

TEL AVIV — Israel's new chief of staff, an air force general, believed that most of Israel's future operations would be conducted from the air.

Military leaders were convinced that with superior communications and air power they did not even need new U.S. "bunker buster" munitions to root out terror leaders in underground hideaways.

Today, this vision of air power as a panacea has been shattered.

Lt. Gen. Dan Halutz and his advisers have been stunned by the failure of Israel's air war against Hizbullah, which has shrugged massive air bombings on its headquarters in Beirut to maintain the rocket war against the Jewish state.

I'm not sure failure is the right word, but I think it is an indication that Israel has plans for a fairly large ground invasion.

I don't see how we will stop them if they want to go, and it's probably in our best interests to step aside and let them try to destroy Hezbollah.

Yep.

I hope the FBI and other letter agencies are being just as aggressive here.
