Earthquake measuring 4 on the Richter felt throughout J’lem
By JPOST.COM STAFF
An earthquake measuring 4 on the Richter scale was felt in and around Jerusalem Sunday morning.
According to reports, the epicenter of the quake was at the Dead Sea.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage.
A 4?
Whew!
4 is not bad by this Calif. girl’s standards, but I don’t know how that works in Jerusalem with all those old buildings.

“Kassams Fly, Army Prepares; Volunteers Plan Joyous Chanukah”
by Hillel Fendel
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “(IsraelNN.com) As Kassams continue to fly towards Sderot and north of Gaza, the 20 Gazan terrorists killed by the IDF this week are apparently the harbinger of a major IDF anti-terror offensive. Volunteers are preparing a joyous Chanukah for the besieged Sderot residents.
Four Hamas terrorists were killed on Thursday by the IDF, for a total of about 20 this week. The dead terrorists were engaged in firing Kassam rockets and mortar shells at Israel, or placing explosives designed to explode upon Israeli forces.
IDF Offensive Nears, Fatah Prepares
With Hamas preparing feverishly for a Hizbullah-style onslaught of Israel, including non-stop smuggling of explosives and weapons into Gaza, it is a matter of near-consensus that a large-scale IDF operation inside Gaza is inevitable. Now that the Annapolis summit has ended, the time appears to be getting much nearer.”

That was the first thing I thought of, when I read about the earthquake:
Oh, no. Not on the first day of Hannukah! (That is almost too spooky to think about.)

“British warn of China cyber-spying”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LONDON (AP) The head of Britain’s domestic spy agency has warned that China is spying on the computer systems of British corporations, a newspaper reported yesterday.
The Times of London said MI5 chief Jonathan Evans sent a letter last week to 300 executives and security chiefs at banks, accounting firms and legal firms, warning them they were under attack from “Chinese state organizations” over the Internet.
The newspaper said the letter had also been posted on a secure section of the Web site of the government’s Center for the Protection of the National Infrastructure.”
No problem.

“Slovak raid nets ‘bomb’ uranium”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Uranium seized in Slovakia on Wednesday was enriched enough to be used in a so-called “dirty bomb” to spread radioactive material, police say.
The uranium was found during a raid on alleged smugglers near the Hungarian border. Three people were detained.
The suspects had just under 500g (17.6 ounces) of uranium in powder, senior police official Michal Kopcik said.
Slovakian investigators believe the enriched uranium came from somewhere in the former Soviet Union.
The identity of the intended buyer for the uranium has not been released.
A dirty bomb uses conventional explosives to scatter radioactive debris and contaminate the target area.
‘Powder form’
The uranium seized on Wednesday could have been used “in various ways for terrorist attacks”, Mr Kopcik said.
“The radioactive uranium was even more dangerous because it was in powder form,” he said.”
