Let's keep a live commentary thread going again today. The FBI Tip Line #1-888-324-9800.
All seems quiet since yesterday's news the shooter may target children specifically. It was released on various news outlets the shooter's 3-page letter to police was in broken English and threatened extreme violence. Police announced an electronic transfer of $10m as requested by the shooter was not possible but other options for transfer remain open. No one seriously believes police will actually give the shooter $$, but police are trying to keep a dialogue open with the shooter in an effort to capture this monster.
An al Qaeda operative at Fort Bragg Scripps Howard News Service ^ | 11.13.01 | JOHN SULLIVAN and JOSEPH NEFF Posted on 11/13/2001 2:05 PM Central by callisto By JOHN SULLIVAN and JOSEPH NEFF Raleigh News & Observer November 13, 2001 FORT BRAGG, N.C. - A former sergeant at Fort Bragg who became a close adviser to Osama bin Laden obtained sensitive documents describing how U.S. special operations units function. Ali A. Mohamed, a trusted trainer in bin Laden's al Qaeda network, walked the halls of the U.S. military's top warfare planning center at Fort Bragg for more than two years as an Army sergeant. From 1987 to 1989, he acquired sensitive documents describing how special operations units work and a detailed plan for a special operations training exercise, court documents say. The exercise was for an attack on Baluchistan, a part of Pakistan wedged between Afghanistan and the Arabian Sea.
If you guys are right, I guess that would cement our nation's resolve to finally act against these evil nations.
I hadn't thought of that. That IS scary.
One day, a long time ago, near a river, a rabbit said he could do everything that everybody else does. Otter said he would do something, and Rabbit could do it after him.
Otter said he would go chase after a duck because he wanted to eat it.
Otter swam under the water to the duck.
He caught a duck's leg and yanked it down under the water.
He swam back to his hiding place to eat the duck.Then Rabbit went to go try it.
He made a noose out of a baby tree.
He swam out there and came up to breathe.
Then he went back under water.He tried to get the duck, but it didn't work out.
The duck took him.
Rabbit threw the noose over the duck's head.
The duck went flying out of the water into the sky.
Rabbit got tired of holding on.
Then he let go.He was going down and he landed in a stump.
He was stuck in that stump and couldn't get out.
Then rabbit ate his fur because he was hungry.He finally got out.
There were some kids playing and they heard a rabbit singing.
The kids went to go tell their father.
He helped the rabbit get out.
He cut a little door.When he opened the door, the rabbit flew by.
To this day, when Rabbit is hungry, he eats his own fur.3651 posted on 10/24/02 12:20 AM Eastern by ~Kim4VRWC's~
Wonder if this means one member of the cell was caught and got immunity from the police for giving up the other members?
I'm way back here in the 3700's, so maybe someone has already posted it again. But it was posted back around the 3400's. Maybe 3300s-3400s, as fast as the thread was moving then.
I don't have a link, but it's possible. There have been reports that some of al-Q may be getting help from the reservations.
I didn't hear what she actually said, but I think that's probably what was going on.
They're not sure if it's sniper-related.
