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.

Greta reporting that there are Al Queda sleepers cells in 40 US cities. Bill Gertz reporting that there are camps in Pakistan that have been routed to the US. The FBIs worst nightmare trying to locate the real cells members. Could be up to 4000 individuals here. They have millions of dollars to fund their operation. They are planning for a major attack. The big fear is a weapon of mass destruction.

Yes, that was it. Bill Gertz was on and didn't say anything that we haven't already discussed. Sleeper cells in Detroit, NY, LA, NJ...

Fear of bio weapon or someone with smallpox walking around a crowded city.

"2-7-04 --Workers Clear Cars From Cecil Co. Derailment ELKTON, Md. -- Crews worked Sunday to clear and repair the track where 34 cars of a train carrying merchandise and hazardous materials derailed in Cecil County, the freight company said."

As I was about to leave work that day someone came in talking about the evacuations all the way over to Northeast MD.

Thanks for your reply.

Like you say, and I tried to say in my previous post, I only am interested in placing further scrutiny upon Ferno MIr, by those more capable than I.

Yes, I read their company history, but consider this, I work for a national exhibit company who still carries the family name of the man that started it in 1918, but is now owned by a conglomerate.

Being in the exhibit business, which is basically marketing, something about this company threw a red flag up to me...

It takes alot of money to quickly get into a recently created micro or niche market, even if you currently do something similar to that market. Especially on a national scale.

Whoever owns this company, which is worldwide, is wagering a large amount of money that a major terrorist attack within the United States is not only inevitable, but a likely, regular event.

Money talks...

If this was a local comapny owned by Joe Schmo from Kokomo, I'd never give it a second thought.

More in an article at Washington Times. Note the title, they are sent to JOIN sleeper cells, i.e. join EXISTING ones, not form new ones, meaning, that there are sleeper cells already here and have been for years.

Islamic extremists invade U.S., join sleeper cells

"Al Qaeda sleeper cells are believed to be operating in 40 states, according to the FBI and other federal authorities, awaiting orders and funding for new attacks in the United States. Financed in part by millions of dollars solicited by an extensive network of bogus charities and foundations, the cells use Muslim communities as cover and places to raise cash and recruit sympathizers."

There have been a lot of official stories telling people to prepare for disaster. Plus there have been a lot of news stories breaking about rogue nukes. Too many of each to be coincidence.

Interesting.


 Timeline: Kyrgyzstan

 24.12.03

    A chronology of key events:

8th century - Arab invaders conquer Central Asia, including what is now Kyrgyzstan, and introduce Islam.

10th-13th centuries - Kyrgyz people migrate southwards from the Yenisey River region in central Siberia to the Tian-Shan region.

1685 - Kyrgyz people settle in the area that is now Kyrgyzstan; area conquered by the Oirats, a Mongol people, after centuries of Turkic rule.

1758 - Oirats defeated by Chinese Manchus and Kyrgyz become nominal subjects of Chinese empire.

Early 19th century - Kyrgyz come under the jurisdiction of the Uzbek khanate of Kokand, to the west.

Russian rule

1876 - Russian forces conquer the khanate of Kokand and incorporate what is now Kyrgyzstan into the Russian empire.

1916-17 - Many Kyrgyz seek refuge in China, across the eastern border, following the Russian suppression of rebellion in Central Asia and the outbreak of civil war in the wake of the 1917 October Revolution in Russia.

1920s and 1930s - Soviet land reforms, which consolidate all arable and grazing lands into large state-owned farms, upset the traditional Kyrgyz way of life, which is based on nomadic livestock-herding, forcing some Kyrgyz to escape to the mountains and to China; Kyrgyz Communist Party established as the sole legal party; many members of the Kyrgyz intelligentsia, including Communists, who express dissent are imprisoned or executed.

1920s - Many formerly nomadic Kyrgyz resettled as part of land reforms; improvements in literacy and education made.

1921 - Area of present-day Kyrgyzstan becomes part of the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (ASSR) within the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic (RSFSR).

1924 - Kara-Kirgiz Autonomous Region (renamed Kirgiz Autonomous Region in 1925) formed, corresponding to the borders of present-day Kyrgyzstan, after the Soviet authorities delineate new territories in Central Asia along ethnic lines.

1926 - Kyrgyz Autonomous Region upgraded to an ASSR.

1936 - Kyrgyzstan becomes a constituent republic within USSR.

1990 - Kyrgyz Communist Party leadership opposes change to the Soviet constitution which allows non-Communist parties to take part in political life; state of emergency imposed after several hundred people are killed in interethnic clashes between Uzbeks and Kyrgyz over access to land and housing around the town of Osh, near border with Uzbekistan; Askar Akayev, a liberal academic on the reform wing of the Kyrgyz Communist Party, elected by the legislature to the newly created post of president.

Independence

1991 - Kyrgyzstan acquires its present name, dropping Kirgizia, and declares independence; Akayev joins Russian leader Boris Yeltsin in openly resisting the anti-Gorbachev coup by conservative Communists in Moscow; Kyrgyz Communist Party temporarily dissolved; Akayev wins another term in direct elections in which he stands unopposed; Kyrgyzstan joins Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

1992 - Kyrgyz Communist Party reconstituted; Kyrgyzstan joins the United Nations and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, the predecessor of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE); economic reform programme launched.

1993 - Kyrgyz legislature approves first post-Soviet constitution setting legislative elections in 1995 for new 105-member unicameral legislature; Russian rouble replaced by som as unit of currency.

1994 - Voters approve proposal by Akayev on a constitutional amendment to make the legislature a bicameral body.

1995 - Akayev re-elected with more than 70% of the vote.

1996 - Referendum overwhelmingly approves constitutional amendment which concentrates more power in the hands of the president while limiting the powers of the legislature.


1998 July - Constitutional Court decides Akayev should be allowed to run for third term as president in 2000.

December - Kyrgyzstan becomes first former Soviet republic to join World Trade Organisation.

2002 March - Five killed in clashes with police during a protest demanding the release of Beknazarov in the southern, regional capital Jalal-Abad.

2002 May - Leading opposition politician Feliks Kulov is sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was arrested in March 2000 for alleged abuse of office while national security minister, acquitted in July 2000, but later re-arrested.

I quite agree, maybe someone should scrunitize Fermo Mir, they may well have unsavory connections, by the nature of the business they are in, as you say, or they can be just a company filling a need.

But I agree, we should err on the side of caution.

The FBI and CIA should keep an eye on them and if they see them manufacturing too many coffins all of a sudden, or bio-protective suits, maybe it's because they know something.
