Thanks for the update.

"We don't think it was intentional, he wasn't at the apartment that day," Moss said.

The above was stated by Detective Delrish Moss of the Miami Police Department. I'm speechless.

Radical cleric sparks fury in Australia

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — A radical Australian cleric drew widespread condemnation Thursday over a series of videos in which he encourages children to become martyrs for Islam and ridicules Jews as pigs.

Sheik Feiz Mohammed, head of the Global Islamic Youth Center in western Sydney, made the remarks on a series of video lectures for sale in Australia and overseas.

"We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam," the Australian-born cleric said in one video broadcast on Australian television.

The lectures were denounced as offensive by Australian government leaders and as not helpful by the head of the Islamic Friendship Association. The chief of the opposition Labor Party called them an incitement to terrorism.

In one video, the cleric said many parents were stopping their children from attending Islamic lessons for fear that they "might create a place in their hearts, the love, just a bit of love, of sacrificing their lives for Allah."

"Teach them this: There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid," or holy warrior, he added. "Put in their soft, tender hearts the zeal of jihad and a love of martyrdom.".

He also ridicules Jews as pigs, snorting and saying they will go to hell.......[MORE]

Another "explosive" update:

Chemical Stash Is Destroyed At Miami Condo

Florida - Two days after a predawn chemical explosion rocked a 17-story Miami condo, investigators are picking through the possessions of a 23-year-old chemistry student -- and blowing some of them up -- and the building remains evacuated. Several chemicals from the stash of 23-year-old Itai Polatnick, who is charged with failing to properly store hazardous materials, have been taken to a pair of pits just east of the building to be detonated, said Ignatius Carroll, Miami Fire Department spokesman.
Wednesday's pyrotechnics were so powerful that the alarms of the cars parked in the Sausalito Square shopping center parking lot across the street went off.

The operation at the Blue Lagoon condos, 5075 NW Seventh St., is costing several hundred thousand dollars, authorities said.

Approximately 70 members of the Miami police and fire departments; Department of Homeland Security; Drug Enforcement Administration; FBI; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Department of Environmental Protection have been camping out near the condo.

In addition, the FBI has flown in a top chemist from Washington, D.C.

Bomb squad robots are also being employed. (snip)
