“Terror Calls Mexico”
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, August 31, 2007 4:20 PM PT
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “War On Terror: Mexico may think its differences with the U.S. and status as a nonaligned country somehow shield it from the global war on terror....”
ARTICLE Nearly 11,000 people were evacuated Thursday from Torre Mayor, Mexico City’s tallest, ritziest tower, after a terrorist called in a car bomb. The device, which Mexican investigators called “artesanal,” was easily dismantled. But the unprecedented evacuation echoed the disruptions Manhattan has seen as an al-Qaida target since 1993.
An obscure group called EPR claimed credit the next day, but it doesn’t seem to be linked with global terrorist networks.There’s reason to worry, however, that it will be.
EPR’s strategy resembles al-Qaida’s in that the target wasn’t some quaint adobe, but rather Mexico’s starkest symbol of global capitalism, its equivalent of New York’s World Trade Center.”

“Terror Incognito?”
By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, February 16, 2007 4:20 PM PT
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “World War III: Al-Qaida’s new threat against oil facilities has opened a new front in the war on terror. Mexico and Canada recognize the enemy, but Venezuela doesn’t. It could be a disaster.
The Saudi al-Qaida organization announced its next campaign to target America’s oil suppliers in the Western Hemisphere.
With a warning on the Sawt-al-Jihad Web site, al-Qaida vowed to attack three of the top four oil suppliers to the U.S. — Mexico, Canada and Venezuela — on the logic that the economic disruption would drive the U.S. from Iraq.
It’s a credible threat, not only because the Saudi wing of the global terror organization is obsessed with economic warfare, but also because it launched similar attacks in 2004 that disrupted oil and petrochemical production and drove up prices globally. It knows it can do this.
Of the top four U.S. oil suppliers, No. 2 Saudi Arabia now has high security at its installations, which may explain why the local al-Qaida group is looking for easier targets. No. 3 Mexico and No. 1 Canada say they’ll beef up security. They’re still vulnerable, but they won’t make it easy.”
