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.

Rickylc- Regarding Iran's urgent consultations with Putin "Particularly concerning a mystery event that is supposed to happen."
What is your take on this?
I wonder if they are anticipating a major AQ- (but of course they would know about it) terror attack in the US, which they fear would be followed by a nuclear strike on Iran. Possibly they need to discuss Russia's retaliation on the US.
Remember a few weeks ago when the Russians were "exercising", and Putin or one of the military leaders spoke of the US using WMD?
A hall of mirrors. Too many players.

From your link:
Diagnosing WNV infection must be based on laboratory confirmation, as the signs of the disease, including staggering or the inability to rise, can mimic other diseases, including rabies, or other encephalitic diseases, such as western equine encephalitis (WEE) and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE)." WNV has spread to 20 of the United States, following the migratory flight patterns of birds along the eastern seaboard and west as far as Texas. In 2001, 738 horses, donkeys, or other members of the equine family were diagnosed with the disease in the US, and about 20 per cent of the animals had to be euthanized, due to the severity of their illness. "Blue jays, crows, and more than 70 other species of birds can carry the virus, but it is the mosquito that puts the disease cycle in motion," explained Dr. Logan.

Christy Ann Amanpour of CNN reporting van tip from citizen contained 8 detonators, a commercial video tape with Koran verses that can be purchased from any store.
Other reports: the explosives used was the same as the ETA has stolen previously from France construction sites, etc.

It may be that these attacks in Spain are only the opening, preliminary attacks.
What are our NATO commitments to Spain?
It seems to me that events could soon spiral into a confrontation with the Russians.

On the analysis track, it seems the attacks consisted of 13 seperate bombs.
Some of the bombs were intentionally delayed to explode when rescue workers arrived, but were discovered by Law Enforcement and detonated before they exploded.
The timing, multiple locations, and in depth planning associated with this attack is not amateur. These guys really knew what they were doing, and had military training in unconventional warfare.
God bless the victims. Today, we stad with Spain in the shared resolve to defeat this cruel and vicious bunch of godless murderers.
