Indian mujahideen planning 9/11 type attack
A 9/11-type terror attack using hijacked aeroplanes stares India in the face with an Indian Mujahideen terrorist having acquired pilot training and waiting to strike, according to intelligence agencies.
Intelligence Bureau (IB) sources say Shahzad Ahmed alias Pappu, one of the key accused in the September 2008 Delhi blasts case, learnt to fly planes in Bangalore and could now be planning to execute an airborne terror strike. A dozen other trained Indian Mujahideen terrorists are also at large and, together with Shahzad, pose a big security threat.

Rogue Imam Anwar Al Awlaki's DVDs for sale in London - in America too?
Snip: Here is the text of Awlaki's speech "Constants on the Path of Jihad." http://theforceofreason.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Constants-on-the-Path-of-Jihad.pdf
It is readily available all over the Internet and there is even a video of it on Google. Why don't Google and the Feds get this jihadi hate rhetoric off the Internet?
The speeches of Awlaki available for sale online at places such as http://www.onlineislamicstore.com/audio-speeches-and-discourses-by-imam-anwar-al-awlaki.html. It seems obvious that al Qaeda has an enormous presence online and they are recruiting via the use of Awlaki's speeches.
