Terrorist threat in Pakistan 'remains high': US
Washington | May 14, 2004 2:37:44 PM IST

The terrorist threat to the US and western interests in Pakistan "remains high" due to tensions along the Afghan border and the unstable situation prevailing in the Middle East and Iraq, the Bush Administration has claimed.

Urging American citizens in these areas to take appropriate security measures, the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad has warned that already high anti-American sentiment in Pakistan could rise as western embassies and consulates throughout the country are "high priority" targets for terrorists.

According to The News, the embassy has "advised that the threat of terrorist activity in Pakistan, including against American or western targets, remains high."

"Heightened tensions throughout the Middle East, continued violence in Iraq, and tensions in Waziristan could increase anti-American sentiment in Pakistan," sources in the embassy were quoted as saying by an international news agency.

The notice is the latest in a series of warnings issued by the embassy and the U.S. State Department since the US-led war on terrorism began in neighboring Afghanistan. (ANI)

Al-Qaeda suspects held in Spain

Spanish police have arrested five men suspected of forging identity documents and recruiting people for al-Qaeda training camps, officials say.
The men, four Algerians and a Spaniard, were detained on Wednesday and Thursday during raids in Madrid, Barcelona and the northern Basque region.

Thanks for your input. I appreciate hearing from someone that has the education and background regarding these things, as I have neither. I'm just an avid reader/researcher which can make it difficult to separate reality from conspiracy (dare I say occasional hysteria?) on the internet. Living in the Cascade Mts. the thought of a supervolcano is a bit disconcerting. Consequently I have been curious about the Yellowstone rumblings.

[Oorang]

Hmmm. More crap from the cubists.

Tinfoil time....I think we should pay more attention to this ring thing and who wears them...Last last picture of OBL had gold ring.

One of the clues the FBI and CIA is studying is a large gold ring Zarqawi is wearing on his right hand, giving off a glare several times during the six minute tape.

Thanks tons. Not often I get anyone to own that!!! Though, I do get a fair amount of it by FREEPMAIL.

"Consequently I have been curious about the Yellowstone rumblings."

Because of the potential threat, Ystone is being monitored, just like the Cascade volcanos. USGS is too serious about this stuff and geologistist too cantankerous to allow things to be swept under the rug.

Does anyone know if this map of Al Qaeda cells in the U.S. is up-to-date? It's at least a couple of years old, maybe more. I would guess that they've expanded their operations in this country, but haven't seen anything to verify that thought. I'm just curious.

Great, please keep us posted. It's too much for me to keep up with. The whole story is better than any spy novel.

This is my R&R racing weekend. :-)

That's the most current one that I've seen too. I would not be at all surprised to find that they have expanded, but this seems to be the only map layout that there is.

"massive social conditioning through the movies"

This would be a great Friday night thread all on it's own!

[Domestic Church]

Yes, same place... I noticed there was one there and wondered if perhaps it also was a relocation area.

[tmp02]

Is it me or does the terrorism news seem kind of quiet lately?

[tmp02]

Talking about the prevailing winds during an attack...This site shows good wind activity:

It does seem rather quiet, which is a bit disconcerting.

However, there is alot on dreams and prophecy. Which is fine.

All input, knowledge,and opinions are welcome and need to be considered.

That's what I love about this thread. We really seem to respect each other.

When we all think alike, no one thinks very much. To quote Rummy, "we can't know what we don't know."

All of you are wonderful and have increased my knowledge and awareness so very much. For that, I thank each and everyone of you.
