February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

Have been thinking about the scuba diver, with the tattoo of the "Yellow hair Angel".
Has anyone suggested that it is a prison tattoo? or that it is the name of a gang?
I tried Google searches for:
yellow haired gang
and
1425 yellow haired gang
didn't find what I wanted, maybe I didn't look at enough pages.
Did a Google search for:
names of gangs who support Islam
That is a good search, lots to read, but have noticed that I am pulling a bunch of communist links, and wonder why?
Is it the kerry influence, already happening?

Border State Candidates Support Immigration Enforcement
Thursday, March 04, 2004
By Matt Hayes
This election year, the president will campaign on a promise to amnesty millions of illegal aliens and institute a guest worker program, while leading Democrats insist that our country should simply grant citizenship to every illegal alien here.
Voters who seek stronger enforcement of our immigration laws (some 85 percent of Americans, according to a recent poll) have nowhere to go.
Almost.
On the state level, there are individuals running for Congress who understand what voters want and have made better enforcement of our immigration laws the centerpiece of their campaigns. Houston police officer John Nickell (search), a Republican, is running for Representative of Texas Congressional District 2. The district encompasses the city of Houston, and Nickell, being a police officer, is intimately familiar with some of the problems that come from nearly unchecked illegal immigration along our southern border. The city of Houston, as it happens, has a sanctuary policy (search) that prevents Houston employees from working with federal immigration authorities to apprehend and remove illegal aliens.

Terrorists may use Pens filled with poison gases
FOXNews ^ | March 3, 2004 | FoxNews Breaking News
Posted on 03/03/2004 9:06:24 PM CST by FairOpinion
FoxNews obtained an FBI bulletin, which warns law enforcement, that terrorists may use pens, where instead of the cartridge, they have small cannisters filled with poison gas, such as cyanide, ricin, etc.
They found one such weapon on an Islamic terrorist.

How Tiny Swiss Cellphone Chips Helped Track Global Terror Web
By DON VAN NATTA Jr. and DESMOND BUTLER
LONDON, March 2 The terrorism investigation code-named Mont Blanc began almost by accident in April 2002, when authorities intercepted a cellphone call that lasted less than a minute and involved not a single word of conversation.
Investigators, suspicious that the call was a signal between terrorists, followed the trail first to one terror suspect, then to others, and eventually to terror cells on three continents.
What tied them together was a computer chip smaller than a fingernail. But before the investigation wound down in recent weeks, its global net caught dozens of suspected Qaeda members and disrupted at least three planned attacks in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, according to counterterrorism and intelligence officials in Europe and the United States.
The investigation helped narrow the search for one of the most wanted men in the world, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who is accused of being the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, according to three intelligence officials based in Europe. American authorities arrested Mr. Mohammed in Pakistan last March.
For two years, investigators now say, they were able to track the conversations and movements of several Qaeda leaders and dozens of operatives after determining that the suspects favored a particular brand of cellphone chip. The chips carry prepaid minutes and allow phone use around the world.

China ramps up warnings to US about Hong Kong
China has expressed renewed warnings to the United States to stay out of Hong Kong affairs, telling Washington the affairs of the territory were none of its business.
The warnings came on the eve of an address to a US Senate hearing on the issue of democracy in the former British colony by Hong Kong Legislator Martin Lee, the former leader of the Democratic Party, and party colleague James To.
"We, the Chinese government, resolutely oppose any attempts to interfere in its internal affairs," said foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao.
