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.

Slick.

A truly independent Ukraine would not give all Soviet era nukes to the Russians, thereby leaving their independence subject to nuclear blackmail at the hands of the so-called reformed commies in Moscow.

Still, I think this is a story intentionally leaked to make people aware that AQ does indeed possess nuclear weapons. It is an "un-official" wake-up call to the dangers we are facing atthis very minute. The nukes probably came from the former-Soviet central asian republics in the time period described by Yossef Bodansky and others.

TRIAL OPENS IN 'PAINTBALL TERRORISM' CASE OF FOUR ACCUSED OF WORKING TO AID TALIBAN

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- Four U.S. citizens who allegedly used paintball games outside Washington for military-style training went on trial Monday on charges of conspiracy to aid the Taliban against the United States.

The government has alleged the four, who waived their right to a jury trial, are members of a "Virginia jihad network."

Well from a 'Bill Clinton Perspective' perhaps they the gov't did not sell them, they simply lost control of them??

An al Qaeda Hit List?

Jeremy Reynalds, 02/09/04


Apparently determined not to be outdone by the United States, the terrorist group al Qaeda (or a sympathizer) has released a video with a deck of cards featuring its own most wanted.

The "cards" (dangling above flames), could be considered an al Qaeda hit list. They feature a wide variety of individuals including Bush administration figures, lawmakers, the Spanish and Italian prime ministers and conservative American media personalities such as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O' Reilly.

Notably, the card sequence begins with U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Others featured include U.S. President George W. Bush, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, U.S. Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Sandra Day O'Connor, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and British Petroleum's Peter Sutherland.

While the card images move across the screen, site visitors also see a number of bloody images of both children and adults. One such segment begins with an animated navy jet. Once all the cards have been viewed the video shifts to three still pictures. One image features a battle clad individual with an obscured face aiming a military assault rifle. Another picture shows Osama bin Laden flanked by two aides and surrounded with audio equipment – presumably at a press conference. The final picture shows two individuals (one looking particularly ominous) presumably of Middle Eastern origin dressed in military uniform.

The site(www.angelfire.com/comics/nefaq/sana5oodoV2.swf or www.unitedshadeofswords.com/sana5oodoV2.swf), which is frequently unavailable due to apparent excessive usage, appears to be hosted by the Massachusetts-based Lycos network. An e- mailed inquiry requesting comment was not immediately answered.

Meanwhile after a brief hiatus, self proclaimed al Qaeda operative Daleel Almojahid is again posting on the internet. In a recent note on his Yahoo group site, Almojahid wrote, "I have posted a file regarding Badr Al Riyadh tape that will give you an idea what was in the tape as we can't post or upload the whole tape here. May God protect all the mojahideen and we promise you that victory is very near."

The file Almojahid uploaded was for a document produced by the Intel Center (www.intelcenter.com) and concerned a report on a video released by al Qaeda on Feb. 4 2004 titled "Badr al- Riyadh: The Assault on the Crusader Settlement and Discovering Important Details." According to Intel Center's Ben Venzke it focused on the attack al Qaeda carried out against the al-Muhaya housing compound in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Nov.8 2003.

In the report Venzke stated that during the video an al Qaeda spokesman said one of the reasons for targeting the al-Muhaya compound was to go after Arab Christians." According to Venzke, "This marks an expansion of al Qaeda's targeting strategy and additional strikes against Arab Christian targets or those perceived to be affiliated with Arab Christians can be expected."

In a subsequent e-mail, Almojahid sent a variety of links to video apparently of the same incident. He wrote, "These are new links. I hope they will stay online for some time and allof you will be able to download the tape. (One of those links is www.dhia-studios.com/media/video/badr-riyaad/riyaadh1.rm)

So, let's hear from Al Zawahiri or even Saad bin Laden. Now, that might be interesting. Let's hear a little "front lines" talk. Yep, that would be interesting.

Bump!

[JustPiper]

Daleel and friends are bored; we're not.

I know I am bored with all t he DaDa posts on the thread ;)

[JustPiper]

listed a litany of alleged violations Moscow had committed against its neighbours under his rule.

I'm stunned, McCain saying something 'right'

[Velveeta]

But after six years or so, plus however long the weapons were left lying around before that...well, if your stolen nuke starts smoking, start walking away from it in a casual yet rapid manner.

This I understand!

Thank you for the explanation, it was very helpful.

[Poohbah]

Is it even plausible that, with the proper information and necessary equipment, let's say from AQ's apparent connections to Pakistan's Khan and/or at least some of the scientist's working for Khan, that they (AQ) "could" maintain the viability of these weapons for an indefinite length of time if they were still operable at the time of purchase?

Nope. Tritium decays, plutonium decays, and Pakistan doesn't have very much of either to hand out to terrorists.

If AQ knowingly bought the weapons in an inoperable state, is it plausible they could be "refurbished", for lack of a better term, with the proper guidance and materials, or would it be more likely they bought them knowing the most they could do with them is construct a "dirty bomb".

The latter.

[milkncookies]

Thank you.

What if I print this card everytime a dumb DaDa post shows up? Will everyone gets as tired of the card as I do of the DaDa posts? ;) hmmmmmmmm....

[Domestic Church]

OMG! Paintball guns...like I saw in my mind on the earlier threads.

[JustPiper]

LOL My ears!

Let me clear this one up:

My strategy for writing in Tancredo would have been good against Edwards, that is what I liked

But the Tancredo strategy cannot come into play against Kerry, can't do that ;)

Sorry- even though I think he's a crock (or more than one he/she), I still post them if he says anything that could possibly provide a clue.
