Warden Message: Delhi Disturbances Continue
U.S. Consulate General Mumbai released the following Warden Message on November 30, 2006:
The U.S. Consulate General in Mumbai has received reports of rocks being thrown at cars, buses being damaged, trains being stopped, street blockages, and small roaming groups of rioters in parts of Mumbai, especially in the north and northeastern suburbs of Mumbai along the Central Railway Line, and in other cities throughout Maharashtra, including Aurangabad, Bhusawal, Jalgaon, Nagpur, Nasik, Nanded, and Pune.
Although these disturbances are not directed at U.S. citizens, they are indiscriminate and could affect anyone in their vicinity. The Consulate advises U.S. citizens to monitor local media reports and avoid driving into affected areas. U.S. citizens should avoid crowds, rallies, and street demonstrations. Even demonstrations intended to be peaceful can turn confrontational and possibly escalate into violence. At a minimum, you should exercise extreme caution in the vicinity of any demonstrations. You should always be aware of your surroundings and keep a low profile.
Districts reported to be affected in Mumbai include: Bhandup (E), Chembur, Dadar East, Ghatkopar East, Govindi, Gowandi, Kalina, Kanjur Marg, Kherwadi, Kurla, Kurar, Mankurd, Mulund, Naigaon, Navghar, Navi Mumbai, Thane, Ulasnagar, Vakola, and Worli Naka. Streets in Mumbai reported to be affected include: Kopar-Khairne, Mahape, Thane Bellapur Road, and Turbhe.
In Pune, districts reported to be affected include: Akrudi, Chinchwad, Hinjewadi, Negdi, and Pimpri. Curfews may have been imposed in some of these areas.
In Aurangabad, districts reported to be affected include: Mukundwadi, along Jalna Road.
Disturbances began yesterday, November 29, in the Uttar Pradesh city of Kanpur after the desecration of the statue of Dalit leader B.R. Ambedkar. Tensions appear to be centered in communities with large numbers of members of scheduled castes or tribes.

Six Christians Murdered by Muslim Mob in Ethiopia
By Dan Wooding
Founder of ASSIST Ministries
WASHINGTON, DC (ANS) -- The Washington-DC based human rights group, International Christian Concern (ICC), www.persecution.org, says that it has learned that in early October, a mob of three hundred Muslims murdered six Christians, and seriously wounded fifteen others during a midnight worship service in Beshasha, a town located in the Agaro province, 408 kilometers west of Addis Ababa.
According to an ICC spokesperson what occurred was that on October 14, Orthodox Christians held a midnight worship service when a group of three hundred Muslims, carrying guns and knives approached the church.
“The mob could not enter the locked doors to the church but then proceeded to pour gasoline around the building, forcing the Christians to come out of the building,” said the spokesperson.
“The men of the church came out first and attempted to defend the men and women but had no real weapons, in comparison to the guns and knives used against them. The Muslim mob began to attack the Christians. Fifteen individuals from the church suffered sever knife wounds. Six people died as a result, two priests, two elderly women, and two men.”
The ICC spokesperson went on to say, “Two weeks later, the Ethiopian media announced that the police had arrested the leader of the massacre. However, the violence against Christians continues to steadily increase. It was only two weeks before the Beshasha massacre that another attack on Christians occurred in Jimma, Ethiopia because Muslims opposed Orthodox Christians celebrating the traditional Meskel holiday.
“Muslims in the Horn of Africa are becoming increasingly radical and violent and are being urged to export that violence to surrounding countries.
“This trend is almost certainly affecting Christians in Ethiopia. The Union of Islamic Courts in Somalis recently called for Jihad against Ethiopia, appealing to Muslims of the Horn to rise up against anyone who would dare come against the religion of Allah.
“The tragic incident may only be a precursor of things to come as Muslims in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Tanzania are radicalized.”
Note: ICC is a Washington-DC based human rights organization that exists to help persecuted Christians worldwide. ICC delivers humanitarian aid, trains and supports persecuted pastors, raises awareness in the US regarding the problem of persecution, and is an advocate for the persecuted on Capitol Hill and the State Department.

Worldwide Caution
October 11, 2006
What we do know is terrifying enough. I can just imagine what is really known by those investigating this case. It is the info. that we don't know that to me is the most terrifying. Also, this is just more fallout from the scientists who may have lent their services and knowledge to the highest bidder after the Cold War.
I too, have been getting alot of spam the last 3 weeks or so.
I agree.
It's no wonder that Presidents' hair turns gray.
I'm not sure I'd want to know what they know.

Policing in an Age of Terror: Prevention is Better Than Cure
Recently, the Center for Security Policy and the Manhattan Institute’s Center for Policing Terrorism joined the London-based think tank, Politeia, in holding high-level meetings with political, law enforcement and community leaders, aimed at understanding and defeating the global reach of terrorism. Read this fascinating account of these meetings by FSM Board Member Amanda Bowman who organized the groundbreaking event.

Is the cyber attack going on? Our Yahoo! DSL is down in LA.....and I hear it is down in SF also....
Anyone out there? I ran a line from my computer through the phone system and got a dial up line.
ATT experiencing heavy call volumes
Might be weather related since there are alot of power outtages across the country.
It's a bummer huh, if not monitoring.
They seem to come in all at once.
I know my husband can get 300+ just while in church.
My spam is under control right now (smiling -- because the
spammers are under control).
My yahoo DSL is on and has been all day. I live in northern Ca., but not in the bay area.
Curious that. Gaidar dead? Haven't seen that anywhere else.
I see Velveeta said the same thing.
I checked news and press releases and could not find anything except for weather-related outages and incidents.
Gaidar is NOT dead. Re-read the article. It says Litvinenko is dead.
Yes, I know he has not died. But the quote from Post #1588 confused me..........
"Russian ex-leader's death blamed on poison. Yegor Gaidar - died."
I think someone was just confused...;>)
I guess I'm easily confused these days. At any rate, this is certainly a fascinating story..........and frightening.
