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.

I am way behind on this thread, so I have no idea how seriously this info is being taken. A few things I noticed:

1) The date on the web page itself is April 2003.

2) A time of "after the end" of February.

3) 100 staircases for 100 militants in the coming three days

4) There is a "confused" smiley at the top. Maybe someone
was evaluating some bogus threat that never came to
pass...in 2003?

From the desert SW, he says he is getting reports of strong sulfur smell in the well water. And also said that the temp of the water coming out of the facets is 120 degrees.

I am well acquainted with well water. It usually does smell like sulfur and is usually quite warm...in the summer...but not 120 degrees. I think he's exaggerating.

Terror suspects arrested in Italy

Milan's Duomo cathedral may have been a terrorist target, reports say

Italian police have arrested three North Africans suspected of plotting to bomb Milan's metro and a cathedral in the north of the country.

Arrest warrants had been issued for five men from Morocco and Tunisia, who served as Muslim religious leaders in the city of Cremona.

The suspected cell members are under investigation for conspiracy to commit "international terrorism".

The arrests are part of a wider effort against militants in northern Italy.

Investigators say the region is home to Muslim groups with possible links to al-Qaeda.

'Subversive cells'

The chief prosecutor of Brescia, 100 kilometres (60 miles) from Milan, said the three arrests had been made over the last two days.

The crackdown targeted an alleged cell linked to a mosque in the city of Cremona.

Investigators believe the men planned to blow up the Milan metro stop below the cathedral in December 2002 and also to bomb the Cremona cathedral.

"The subversive cells have maintained themselves over time, working out of the mosque of Cremona and led by the successive imams," Brescia's attorney general said.

Another ex-imam of the Cremona mosque was arrested last October, after being accused by Morocco of links to the suicide bombings in Casablanca that killed 45 people in May.

The arrest warrants were reportedly drawn up on the basis of a series of wiretaps, as well as the testimony of a Tunisian man arrested for drugs trafficking.
