One would think this was a third world nation.............
Syria is in the midst of "intensely" arming itself, placing into position rockets and missiles capable of striking the entire Jewish state, according to an assessment presented to the Knesset today by multiple Israeli security agencies.
Taliban in Pakistan - bin Laden not an enemy
Snippets: A pro-Taliban leader in Pakistan's tribal area on Sunday said that al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and fugitive Taliban militant leader Mullah Omar were "not enemies of Pakistan."
"We do not want to capture the government, but we want imposition of Islamic system in the country." Addressing a press conference in December Mohammad had said that bin Laden could be in "some safe area inside Afghanistan," adding: "If he comes to Bajaur, we will give him a warm welcome."
Latest terrorists are looking for thrills
THE third wave of terrorism facing the world is a leaderless mishmash of young and bored terrorist wannabees, according to a leading US expert.
Former CIA officer and now author Marc Sageman says that the latest jihadis taking up the global call for action more closely resemble criminal gang members than religious fanatics.
Freepers have attempted to keep this thread on the Las Vegas Ricin story thread alive, as they have put so much work into it.

AMom made a good time line for the thread, it is #1301, and now, like so many incidents, it has vanished from the news.
If you find anything on the ricin incident, and feel so inclined, will you also put it at the above.
Please.
Thanks.

He is correct.
Two nights ago, big fights broke out at the same time in San Diego, in the street, men and women.
In approximately 5 minutes on the police scanner, there was an 80, 40, 20 fight, also a 100 and another 20.
They did not say “gang” as is normal, or as the fights that I heard last night were, “party - getting out of control”.
These were downtown.
You would be surprised at what is going on, and never makes the papers.
San Diego is: http://www.scansandiego.net
I listen to the #1 scanner, it covers the largest number of departments.
If you add your city or state to these searches, you will find one near you.......maybe.
I lived in San Diego almost 30 years, so it was easy to get interested in it.
If everyone listened to their town, we would get a better idea of what was really going on in our country.
I consider what I hear going on in San Diego, to be a sample and it is not good, bombs, fires, thefts, rape and gangs.
