Been working alot and the computer just came back from the shop. In just a few paragraphs, can y'all tell me what has transpired lately?Thanks guys, you're the best.

Just do a search on Cindy's post's. She provide a lot of great summary's.

1. As you well know, the 10 railway explosions in Spain have been claimed by Al Qaeda, and seem to fit their modus operandi. Western intelligence seems to concur, although Spanish officials are still looking at the ETA separatist group. An astute FReeper found an article from Oct. 2001 which points to a link between the 2 groups, and it is likely that the blasts on 3/11 (911 days after 9/11) were a cooperative effort between ETA & AQ.

2. Al Qaeda, in their message claiming responsibility, said the blasts were retaliation for Spain's alliance with and support of the US in the War on Terror. Threats of further violence against Tokyo, Moscow, Paris, London, & ultimately culminating with attacks on the US led to a volatile day for world markets.

3. Tom Ridge, Homeland Security chief, feels AQ is behind the blasts and that the US is the ultimate target.

4. Mysterious deaths of unidentified divers in the Hudson River, Florida and Hawaii have everyone questioning the insecurity of our harbors and coastlines.

5. Still no answers on the elk deaths in Yellowstone. Nearly 300 elk have been found dead or paralyzed, and have been euthanized. No word on whether they have been struck down by something found in their natural habitat, or whether outside intervention has come into play.

6. An "earthquake" measuring 5.3 was reported in SE Wyoming in early Feb. but the USGC has asked European agencies which monitor seismic activity to disregard it, as it was "actually" a mine shaft collapse. No mention in the media has led some to suspect it may have been some type of underground detonation - either testing of some sort, or possibly a venting of the Yellowstone caldera?

7. Several agencies across the US, including the Red Cross, as well as TV programming, are offering suggestions for what to stock in case of emergency/survivalist planning. The timing seems rather interesting, to say the least...

Please feel free to add to/correct this brief summation...
