“Sex offender killed, house destroyed by explosions”
By CASEY MCNERTHNEY
P-I REPORTER
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Pierce County sheriff’s deputies found a semi-automatic handgun, remnants of liquid explosives and bombs packed with nails while combing through an obliterated South Hill home Tuesday — and were relieved that there weren’t more victims after a registered sex offender detonated explosives there Monday night.
Authorities say they found the body of that man, 26, who they believe was killed in the explosion, which blew off the top of the two-story house about six miles southeast of Tacoma.
The couple who own the house called police about 11 p.m. Monday, saying the man was being strange and making explosives, Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Ed Troyer said. The couple told detectives that they met their roommate through a Craiglist ad.
When police entered the house, the man grabbed some bottles and bolted from the kitchen. He blasted heavy metal music from upstairs as deputies realized that a duffle bag he left contained explosive devices.
Deputies evacuated, called for backup and were waiting on a bomb squad and a negotiator when the house exploded.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police said the semi-automatic handgun was found underneath the man’s body. His identity is expected to be released this week after a Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office investigation.”

Thank you.
Glad to see the thread is still here — I thought we lost it.
Thanks for reading this Unrepentant VN Vet.
Have a good day.
Got lots of views the last time I checked.
I guess everybody is hunkered down, waiting for that other shoe to hit the floor.
I’m sure smelling something in the air, and it ain’t Incoming.

hmadinejad Calls Sept. 11 Attacks ‘Suspicious Event’
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt Wednesday over the U.S. version of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, calling it a pretext used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
Though Iran has condemned the Al Qaeda attacks on New York and Washington in the past, this was the third time in a week Ahmadinejad questioned the death toll, who was behind the attacks and how it happened.
“Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names,” Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom.
“Under this pretext, they (the U.S.) attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then a million people have been killed only in Iraq,” said Ahmadinejad in the speech broadcast live on state-run television.
On the last anniversary of the attacks, the names of 2,750 victims killed in New York were read aloud at a memorial ceremony there.
Last year, Ahmadinejad raised questions over the September 11 attacks, saying “what caused it, what were the conditions that led to it, who truly was involved” needed to be examined.
In the past, Ahmadinejad has said that the attack was “a result of mismanaging and inhumane managing of the world by the U.S.” and it should not be turned into another Holocaust and “be used for slaughtering people.”

Brigitte Bardot on Trial for Using Muslim Slur
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Former French movie star Brigitte Bardot went on trial Tuesday in Paris on charges of “inciting racial hatred” by using a Muslim slur.
Prosecutors asked the court to give the former sex symbol a two-month suspended prison sentence and fine her $23,760 for saying Muslims were “destroying our country and imposing its acts,” according to Reuters.
“I am a little tired of prosecuting Mrs. Bardot,” Prosecutor Anne de Fontette told the court.
This is the fifth such trial for the blonde, best known for her films of the 1950s and ‘60s. She has been fined four times for inciting racial hatred.

Hamas Leaders to Meet With Former President Jimmy Carter in Egypt
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
JERUSALEM — Former President Jimmy Carter is set to meet Thursday with Mahmoud Zahar, a top Hamas leader with control over militants in the Gaza Strip.
The meeting expands the list of top officials of the terror group with whom Carter is meeting this week against the wishes of the Bush administration, U.S. lawmakers and Israeli officials.
Reps. Howard Berman, D-CA, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Gary Ackerman, D-NY, chairman of the Mideast Subcommittee, wrote Carter Wednesday imploring him not to meet with any Hamas officials.
“[T]his visit will undermine the Middle East peace process and damage the credibility of Palestinian moderates,” they wrote, adding that the “legitimacy and prestige that Hamas will derive from your visit will be seen in the region as a clear demonstration that violence pays.”
Rep. Artur Davis, D-AL, told FOX News, “I don’t think Israel should try to negotiate with Hamas because Hamas does not recognize Israel’s right to exist.” Davis added that Carter’s overtures stood athwart a tradition of support for Israel in America.
Sen. Barack Obama, who has stated his disagreement with Carter on the Hamas visit but supports an open dialogue with Iran, was pressed Wednesday on the difference between the two.

FYI...In the coming 30 minutes or so on E.D. Hill’s,
America’s Pulse show. She will be talking about

Hung Miami Jury Causes Second Mistrial in Sears Tower Terrorism Case
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
MIAMI — A federal judge in Miami has declared another mistrial for six men accused of plotting to spark an anti-government war by toppling Chicago’s Sears Tower and bombing FBI offices.
U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard ordered a mistrial when jurors reported that they were hopelessly deadlocked in the case of the so-called “Liberty City Seven.” The first trial ended in a mistrial in December because of a hung jury for the same six defendants and the acquittal of a seventh.
It’s unclear what the prosecution’s next step will be.

Man at Center of Las Vegas Ricin Case Arrested
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
LAS VEGAS — A man hospitalized after authorities believe was sickened by the deadly toxin ricin was arrested Wednesday in Las Vegas on federal charges.
The FBI says Roger Bergendorff, 57, was arrested after being released from a Las Vegas hospital where he had been since Feb. 14.
“He was released from the hospital and he’s in custody,” said Agent Joseph Dickey, spokesman for the FBI office in Las Vegas.
Bergendorff is charged with possession of a biological toxin and two weapons offenses stemming from materials authorities said were found Feb. 26 and Feb. 28 in his room at an extended-stay motel several blocks off the Las Vegas Strip.
The three charges carry a possible penalty of 30 years in federal prison and a $750,000 fine. Bergendorff was scheduled appear Wednesday afternoon before a federal judge in U.S. District Court in Las Vegas.
A six-page complaint alleges that Bergendorff obtained castor beans, from which ricin is derived, by mail in June 2002, and made ricin from them while living in the basement of his cousin’s house in Riverton, Utah.
Bergendorff’s cousin, Thomas Tholen, 54, was indicted earlier this month in Salt Lake City for allegedly failing to report that the substance was being illegally produced.

OPINION:
And now, I’ll address (AGAIN) Ahmadinejad directly for archival purposes and the search engines.
Ahmadinejad, you are very immature and not showing leadership skills.
You DO KNOW about al-qaeda.
You DO KNOW about Bin Laden.
You DO KNOW exactly how and why the jihadis committed the atrocious
acts they did on September 11, 2001.
You DO KNOW how to research a subject, read the news, and how to contact other world leaders should you have a question about any incident (and that includes the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001).
Now, this is my suggestion to you and I hope you act on it immediately.
Get a doctor’s exam.
Make sure you are in good mental and physical health.
Cut out the irresponsible comments.
It makes you seem delusional.
Check out a 12-step program for anger management.
Research the topic of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001
and by the way, research the topic of the Holocaust in WWII. Learn
the facts.
If you can’t do this, contact President Bush and I’m sure he or a
representative will be glad to answer your questions regarding
9/11.
Contact the Ms. Merkel in Germany or Prime Minister Olmert in
Israel if you have a question regarding the Holocaust.
You can do this.
Do it and cut out the absurd propaganda.
It’s irresponsible.
It’s immature.

Iran envoy offers nuclear technology to all Muslim states
Yahoo News ^ | April 15 2008 | AFP
Posted on April 16, 2008 2:32:35 PM PDT by knighthawk
DOHA (AFP) - Iranian judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahroudi told leaders of the Gulf Arab state of Qatar on Wednesday that his country was willing to put its controversial nuclear expertise at the service of all Muslim states.
(Advertisement) “Iran is determined to make the best use of this technology not only for Iran but also for all Muslim states,” Shahroudi told a news conference in the Qatari capital Doha.
His comments came after talks with Qatari Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, whose country hosts the headquarters of US Central Command which runs military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and across the Middle East and the Horn of Africa.
Washington has been pushing for a new set of UN sanctions against Tehran over its insistence on mastering the nuclear fuel cycle for its self, despite misgivings from other veto-wielding permanent members of the Security Council, notably Moscow.
