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.

10 deviations Could be the pre-emptive strike outside the U.S. they've been talking about. 10 bombs in Madrid

How exactly was what I posted inaccurate? Does Steve Quayle have inside operational information or does he read the same stupid Daleel rubbish we read? I believe based on what I have seen on his site that it is the latter. I also believe he is trying to make a buck off of other's insecurities by hawking all form of disaster products.

And believe me I have been keeping up with this stuff for a long while. I remember being scared of the Ramadan eclipse Mahdi stories and the attacks on Texas schools and stores that was supposed to happen ad nauseum. After so many wokf scares it occurs to me this Daleel guy gets his kicks scaring people. Typical arab dreamer.

Seems like the Alert Level varies from place to place. It stays high in places like DC and NYC.
I've been away from the news (much to my dismay) for too long, but I understand the latest attack in Spain was a set of 10 bomb blasts, which fit's AQ's MO.
/Imagination running wild/
IF an attack does occur on US soil, it will be simultaneous or may come in a series. AQ likes to use our own technology against us and we are oh so dependent on computers, the Internet, cell phones, cable TV, etc
Scary scenario:
A computer worm or virus is released bringing the Internet to a halt, cutting a form of communication and commerce (AQ likes to go after money). If they could also disable cell phones, those two events in themselves would make most people jittery. Now a series of violent attacks (bomb blasts, plane crashes, etc) happen and most people would go into panic mode. Throw into that mix the release of smallpox or a virulent strain of Ebola or some other nasty bug and you have the making of a true multifaceted disaster.
/Imagination reigned back in/
Being a tinfoil hat wearing paranoid, I always notice when my cell phone signal is lost, low flying planes, unusual police activity, etc
If people are prepared for such a scenario, the impact of any such events would be greatly diminished and we would show AQ just how tough we soft infidels can be.

That country is the lost Andalusia . Spain is an infidel country, but its economy is stronger than our economy because the ruler there is accountable. In our countries, there is no accountability or punishment but there is only obedience to the rulers and prayers of long life for them.I don't know if you are anyone else did any research on this, if not here is some islamic background on Andalusia . Andalusia, Islamic Civilization

Homeland Security Issues Transit Alert
Fri Mar 12
By LESLIE MILLER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Homeland Security officials issued a bulletin advising state officials, police and transit and rail agencies to be vigilant in light of the bombings in Spain.
They were asked late Thursday night to consider additional surveillance and to look out for unattended bags and backpacks, Homeland Security spokesman Brian Roehrkasse said.
Homeland Security officials were keeping close watch on developments related to the terrorist attacks that killed or wounded about 1,400 train riders in Spain.
Amtrak increased patrols of its police force and canine units, spokesman Dan Stessel said. Electronic surveillance of bridges and tunnels was intensified, he said. And the company reinforced its message to Amtrak employees to report suspicious activities to police.
"That gives you another 20,000 sets of eyes," Stessel said. The railroad is continuing to review information received from the FBI (news - web sites) and the Transportation Security Administration, he said, but there has been no credible threat against Amtrak or other railroads.
Acting TSA chief David Stone said the agency has been working with public transit systems to close security gaps.
"TSA is very much involved in all risk mitigation plans with trains, metropolitan transit systems and ports," he said.

Elk Leave Area Plagued by Mystery Deaths
RAWLINS, Wyo. - Elk are starting to move out of an area where nearly 300 have died from mysterious causes in the past month.
The herds recently began migrating south from the Red Rim Wildlife Habitat Management Area near Rawlins toward Atlantic Rim and their spring and summer ranges, said pilot Dwight France, who has been monitoring the elk for the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.
During a recent flight, dozens of elk carcasses could be seen from the air. At least 289 elk have died or been euthanized since early last month as the result of an ailment that left many unable to get up, Game and Fish spokesman Tom Reed said.
It remains unclear how many other elk could be affected. The area they were found in is rugged and steep, meaning some animals could be hidden from view in deep washes and gullies, Reed said.
Researchers and veterinarians at the Wyoming Veterinary Lab in Laramie, meanwhile, are continuing to probe the deaths.
A number of possibilities have been ruled out, but researchers found lichen from the area in the stomachs of several elk and are now feeding the lichen to other elk to determine its potential effects, Game and Fish veterinarian Walter Cook said.
"We think that it is at least a possibility," he said. "I wouldn't say it is a high probability."

Thank you for that translation. It sure seemed to be enough for Daleel. He up and said goodbye to the internet because of it. He once said to someone on IH that he might be going to America or something like that. He makes the same implication in his so called final message.
