Al Qaeda again threatens America (Thread 3) Daily Terror Threat

its the same "story" and information we had in December, I don't think its anything different. It just that when this whole AQ Khan thing broke, people just roll that information along in with everything else, and make the threat seem greater. recall what this thread was like regarding the 2-2 to 2-4 timeframe, now it seems that 2-21 is the new deadline.

A volunteer of the Information Centre of the Russian-Chechen Friendship is killed

This is an unoffical translation from the Russian by Front Line

Spokespeople for the federal forces today informed members of the Society of the Russian-Chechen Friendship of the death of their volunteer Aslan Davletukaev, committed between 10th and 16th of January 2004. The certain killing and grievous assault prior to death was well known to the ruling authorities (expressed in abbreviations DV) for some time, however until now a strict decree forbade the release of this information to the widespread community of NGOs, fearing retaliations of the family members. This decree was lifted today.

On January 10th 2004 around 2215 in the village of Avtur, Shalinsk region of the Chechen Republic, Aslan Sheripovich Davletukaev (born 1973) was kidnapped by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. At the time of the kidnapping, the victim was at home 41 Ordzhonikidze st. watching television with a friend, whose name is known to the editors and members of the state criminal department but we are not releasing at this moment for fears of his safety. There were around 50 kidnappers who arrived in three military and two civil vehicles marked ‘UAZ’, which are commonly known as ‘pills’ in the Caucuses. As stated by the witness, some of the kidnappers (7-8) wore masks, and those who didn’t had an Asiatic appearance. They all spoke Russian. Under gunpoint, the soldiers took only Asla Davletukaev away, although both men were beaten.

From the moment of the kidnapping, family members of Aslan as well as Imran Ezhiev, Hamzat Kuchiev and others from the Society of the Russian-Chechen Friendship carried out searches for him through official and unofficial channels. Aslan’s father forbade SRCF to announce news of his son’s kidnapping to the media, as he hoped to find and free his son by paying ransom. Kidnappings for financial profiteering is common practise of the Russian and internal forces in the Chechen Republic.

On the morning of January 16th 2004 near a highway into Gudermes town, reconnaissance units of the Russian army found the body of Aslan Davletukaev bearing evidence of torture and mutilation. Aslan’s arms and legs were broken, others parts of his body punctured by a sharp metal object. Death was the result of a bullet wound in the back of the head.

On January 17th 2004, the body of Aslan Davletukaev was buried in the Avtur cemetery.

From the year of 2000, Aslan’s work was to systematically collect information on the human rights situation in Chechnya for SRCF. Therefore the Society does not exclude the possibility that his kidnapping and murder was as a result of his work.

2 Juvineles taken into custody with pellet guns in Ohio. They do not know if this has anything to do with the string of Ohio shootings.

Bump, PING and Indeed!!!!

The relevent portion of the Meet The Press interview for the backgroun and context of President Bush' concluding remark on this subject...

"Russert: Senator Charles Grassley, a Republican

President Bush: Yes.

Russert: said he is absolutely convinced we will capture Osama bin Laden before the election.

President Bush: Well, I appreciate his optimism. I have no idea whether we will capture or bring him to justice, may be the best way to put it. I know we are on the hunt, and Osama bin Laden is a cold blooded killer, and he represents the nature of the enemy that we face.

These are these are people that will kill on a moment's notice, and they will kill innocent women and children. And he's hiding, and we're trying to find him.

There's a I know there is a lot of focus on Iraq, and there should be, but we’ve got thousands of troops, agents, allies on the hunt, and we are doing a pretty good job of dismantling al Qaeda better than a pretty good job, a very good job. I keep saying in my speeches, two thirds of known al Qaeda leaders have been captured or killed, and that's the truth.

Russert: Do you have a pretty good idea where Osama is?

President Bush: You know, I'm not going to comment on that."

NEIN has been told by the original source to maintain our course on the "OBL captured" issue. Yeah, fear not, we are most assuredly sticking to our guns on this one!!!!

And again, the killer we really need to get a handle on is Ayman al-Zwawhiri. That jihadi really needs to be bagged 'n' tagged pronto.

October 29th: A male described as Middle Easterner entered a bank in Concord, CA and began spraying a substance in the air from a small aerosol can. Approx. 20 minutes after being exposed, 13 people in bank at the time of dispersal became sick. Symptoms included dizziness, shortness of breath and chest pain. Scent likened to that associated with Tabun (GA nerve agent). This event may be a trial run as stated by NE Intelligence Network concerning "perfume" - terrorist word for chemical weapons. Source was Quayles website..........

Has anyone seen this in a news article anywhere? This paragraph was taken from the newspundit site.
