SANAA, Yemen, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A purported statement by al-Qaida in Yemen warned Saturday of a "major strike" soon in the United States.

The statement, distributed by the Yemeni Tagamoo Party for Reforms, said: "A major strike, a big event will take place in America soon," reminiscent of the Sept. 11 attacks.

I know this is stupid, but; I went googling to see if eom had popped up anywhere else and found something posted on 2-1-04, wasn't he supposed to be in the US doing his thing then?

No, I don't believe a word he says!

[jerseygirl]

Would have to check back...I do remember him saying that he was crossing into the US from Mexico.

[knak]

yeah, me too, I thought he left around the end of Jan.

[knak]

don't bother, I checked the eom/daleel yahoo board and the last post he made on cn&v was on the 1st of feb also, but it got deleted soon afterwards I guess. This one I found was on something called "the cheese board". It's another politics board. Anyway it was apparently it was the same type of message though.

NEIN cite states that AQ has pressured Al Jazerra to show missing segments of Saudi attack tape- there is concern that there might be attack signals in the video. Could someone post the picture here so we can look at it? (Have not yet learned how to copy images.)

[jerseygirl]

Have you had a chance to take a look at the new image on the NEIN site? What do you think?

Kerry is a Traitor, Bush may owe his chance for the conservative vote to that man alone.


"WASHINGTON (Mehr News Agency) -- The office of Senator John Kerry, the frontrunner in the Democratic presidential primary in the U.S., sent the Mehr News Agency an e-email saying that Kerry will try to repair the damage done by the incumbent president if he wins the election. The text of the e-mail follows.

As Americans who have lived and worked extensively overseas, we have personally witnessed the high regard with which people around the world have historically viewed the United States. Sadly, we are also painfully aware of how the actions and the attitudes demonstrated by the U.S. government over the past three years have threatened the goodwill earned by presidents of both parties over many decades and put many of our international relationships at risk.

It is in the urgent interests of the people of the United States to restore our country's credibility in the eyes of the world. America needs the kind of leadership that will repair alliances with countries on every continent that have been so damaged in the past few years, as well as build new friendships and overcome tensions with others.

>"I distinctly remember at the time "survivors" being interviewed and also that many were hospitalized for the effects of the narcotic or whatever was used -"

It was opioid fentanyl (opium based ), and halothane. It is considered a “non-lethal chemical weapon, however, it can cause long term nerve and brain damage. Most of the survivors of the Russian hostage situation are going to be physically and mentally impaired for life.

BTW my post is as much about our national security as anything else. If Kerry get elected then Islam will have the keys to the front door of the white house.

Highlights:

Kurchatov Institute in Moscow revealed that two of its scientists had been approached by Libya and offered jobs at $2,000 a month, about 10 times their existing salary.

Klaus Fuchs passed American secrets on to the Russians, who in turn gave it to the Chinese, who then gave it to the Pakistanis. The Americans helped the British who helped India. The Israelis benefited from French and American help.

The nuclear ambitions of Iran, North Korea and Libya might scare the daylights out of George Bush, but those countries do not want the bomb for aggressive purposes. They’re simply adhering to the well- established principle of deterrence - the only sure way to keep an enemy (namely the US) at bay is to go nuclear.
{{{The My Daddy can Whoop Your DaddySyndrome}}}

Osama bin Laden could easily find someone to build him a bomb. The difficulty lies in getting hold of the materials.

The difficulty of that bomb lay in separating the U-235 isotope from natural uranium. That required an infrastructure nearly the size of the Detroit car industry.

While plutonium is easy to collect, getting it to explode is difficult.

_______________________________________________________

In {{1992}} the Russian nuclear technician Yuri Smirnov was arrested for stealing 1,538 grams of enriched uranium from his laboratory. During his trial, he explained that he had been driven to desperation because of poverty. He hoped to sell the stuff for $500. "That was my salary for two years," he explained. "I needed a new refrigerator and a new gas stove. That’s all. I didn’t need to make a big profit."

{{{Herein lies the reason why Russia IS in fact the biggest threat!}}}

The most frightening aspect of Smirnov’s story is how easy it was for him to steal the uranium. At his lab, procedures allowed for an ‘irretrievable loss’ of around 3%. Through careful handling of the material, he siphoned off small amounts, which no one missed. He simply went home every few days with a small vial containing 60 grams in his pocket. As it turned out, Smirnov was arrested before he could figure out how to sell the material. His arrest was, however, entirely accidental; he was picked up while in the company of some friends who had been stealing car batteries.

________________________________________________________

In September 1998, a US team visiting the Kurchatov Institute was shown a building containing 100 kilos of highly enriched uranium. The facility was unguarded because the Institute could not afford to pay a guard. At other storage sites, guards had left their posts to forage for mushrooms and berries or because they did not have winter uniforms to keep them warm on patrol. Surveillance equipment was shut down because electricity bills had not been paid. Wage payments were three months in arrears, and some officers had received potatoes in lieu of pay.

When poverty mixes with nuclear technology, the result can be explosive. If the Russians are having difficulty keeping track of their plutonium, just think how much more serious the problem is in Pakistan, where the desire to make some extra cash might be reinforced by genuine sympathy for the rogue groups keen to buy the plutonium.

Sean...the only question on my mind now is the method of delivery and even if Russia doesn't "Push the RED Button persay, they are behind the underworld of getting these dangerous materials to any rogue nation not NK

BTW my post is as much about our national security as anything else. If Kerry get elected then Islam will have the keys to the front door of the white house.

Islam already has keys. According to Steve Emerson on Fox News earlier today he said that the teaching and preaching of extremist Islamics is active in mosques over the US as well as in Europe. Its just not getting the media attention as that in Europe.

[JustPiper]

Many Pakistanis nevertheless believe Musharraf and top military officers were complicit in the illicit nuclear transfers to Iran, Libya and North Korea.

Of course Musharraf was responsible and people should not assume it is terrorist's then who had him on a hitlist, Tenet may be good for something. Remember Assassination is part of covert protocol!

When the borders are wide open, nobody is protecting national security. They are simply choosing which group destroys us.

BTTT for Truth!
