Suspected suicide bomb equipment diffused in Ohio
Snip: AKRON -- A small backpack with wires, batteries, and a long wire with a detonator certainly looked real enough for members of the Summit County Bomb Squad to call out the ATF and evacuate several nearby homes. Cleaning crews discovered the device Wednesday afternoon while working at a home on Gage Street near the University of Akron.
"It appeared to be a bomb," said Tim Whittington, who first discovered the device in an upstairs bedroom. "It had wiring, and a device with a plunger, and chains latched to it to put on a person." Investigators said Whittington did the right thing by calling police. The pack appeared ready to wear and wired correctly for a suicide bomber, investigators said.
A remote-control water cannon fired one blast at the device to disarm the batteries. The shot was successful, and it also blew a hole in the plastic compartment where the explosives would have been. Investigators say the compartment was empty. Police believe it was either the real thing but lacking the final explosives or it was a look-a-like that someone could use in a crime.
Ramadan hell for Israelis - Islamic jihad planning terror

Islamic History Expert: Muslims will never make peace
Snip: Sharon, speaking at the annual conference of Herzliya¹s Counter Terrorism Institute, said that Iran is dead serious about obtaining and using nuclear weapons in order to bring about its vision of an Islamic End of Days.
The veteran expert on Islam says that Western officials fail to grasp that the Arab concept that Isreal's existence is a "reversal of history"and are therefore unable to ever accept peaceful relations with it. From Moslems' perspective, Islamic territory was taken away from Islam by Jews. You know by now that this can never be accepted, not even one meter. So everyone who thinks Tel Aviv is safe is making a grave mistake. Territory which at one time was dominated by Islamic rule, now has become non-Moslem. Non-Moslems are independent of Islamic rule and Jews have created their own independent state. It is anathema. Worse, Israel, a non-Moslem state, is ruling over Moslems. It is unthinkable that non-Moslems should rule over Moslems.
Sharon dismissed various peace treaties signed by Moslem and Arab officials over the years as "pieces of paper, parts of tactics and strategies with no meaning."
THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
I like that.
