KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - Tens of American, European and other hostages were released Sunday and a gunman believed to be the lead Islamic militant holding them was arrested, a Saudi security official said, adding that two other gunmen were "in the process of being arrested."

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

The AQ threat that the Liberty Bell will melt is even more ominous when you add all these incidents together

The Federal Mint is near by .. if I recall back from 9/11 .. they thought that building was a possible target

Actually .. there are a number of targets in Philly they could hit if that's what they want

oh ok, now I know what you're talking about. Thanks

Now- how can I get my daughter to flee? At least for several weeks? :(

Do you live down the shore? Or outside the area? Have her come visit you if possible. Hubby's worried too, because his entire family is out there, between Willow Grove, Philly and South Jersey to the shore.

Is there anything going on Fourth of July other than the normal festivities?



ps/ready for Dover!!!

IF you want to focus on numbers, focus on religiously significant numbers to Islam. 1, 19, 40, and others.

Quick question... ;) 19 is religiously significant? So there was never supposed to be a 20th hijacker? Or is that completely separate?

[Myrddin]

I re-read the thread. I concur with your comments and those from BearWash. MRSA is definitely an issue with kids. Especially those getting roughed up in athletic activity.

You can plan BBQ's on the weekends ... father's day is coming up .. so there is one exucse

>> how can I get my daughter to flee? <<

Tough situation. All you can do is present the facts. She's going to have to make up her own mind. At least with the facts she can make a more informed decision. I wish you luck with this endeavor.

thanks, good idea

The arenas in So. Philly, too, are right down Broad Street. I wonder where the other plane was found. It said it was found a block away... which way? Could the 2 tapes be pointing to something between them? Or were they leading the way, like bread crumbs in Hansel & Gretel?

"What else is near the City Hall"

Philly City Hall is literally at the center of the intersection of Broad & Market Streets, the two main Streets in the city. The building itself is of interest architecturally and the surrounding area is the heart of the business district. Underground there is a major transportation hub for the city and the region. There used to be plenty of street vendors.

In Philly ??

Yep .. every year there is a HUGE block party and then fireworks at the Art Museum later at night

Then there is Penns Landing .. there are concerts and stuff every weekend during the summer

Oh Sh*T .. I just remember .. the dude from Afghan .. what's his name??? .. Korzin (sp?) .. he is receiving the Freedom Medal this year

Excuse me while I go fine my tin foil hat

SUV blows up gas pump, taxi destroyed

Published June 2, 2004, 9:07 AM CDT

Police are searching for the alleged hit-and-run driver of a sport-utility vehicle that crashed into a gasoline pump on Chicago's North Side early this morning, triggering an explosion that destroyed a taxi cab, WGN-Ch. 9 reported.

The incident happened about 2:30 a.m. at the Shell station at Ashland and Lawrence Avenues, police said. A cab driver had started pumping gas and had just gotten back into his vehicle when he heard a loud crash, WGN reported.

The next thing the cabbie knew, his vehicle was ablaze. He jumped out a passenger-side window to escape the flames.

Police said a Chevrolet Blazer traveling at high speed slammed into the pump, triggering the explosion before the SUV sped off. Firefighters were called to put out the blaze. No injuries were reported in the incident.

I wonder if the cassette tapes mentioned anything about the railroads or the optical sensing device that someone found hidden in the ballast along the tracks in Phillie a couple weeks back.

It's possible I did not explain myself. I often fall into that trap.

I do believe that dates MAY be significant, but am not 100% sure. It depends on if you want to get into intricacies and if you want to believe that terrorists care what the date is on "our" calendar. 9/11 does look significant because it is our emergency code, but was it really and are we in the west focusing on it incorrectly? I don't think we can say 'for sure' that the attack was chosen for that date or if it was just the prime opportunity to hit us (when Allah was willing).

I focused on 1, 19, and 40 because they are directly from the Qur'an.

1, is obvious... in relations to the "One God," "the one."

19, 19 is the mystery number that I am not sure why no one focuses on more. We saw 19 hijackers on 9/11 (19 embedded in the number) and in many instances after that. There are NUMEROUS references to 19 in the Qur'an and it is believed to be part of a 'miracle code.' One interesting instance; The word 'One', in Arabic "Wahid," in reference to God, occurs 19 times
throughout the Quran.

Here is some info on the number 19, some interesting stuff if you are interested.

40, well, 40 is a significant number to all Abrahamic religions in some way. It goes back to the flood I believe.

Re- Philly muslims. The first time I saw two women in burka's shopping in the Gap, I burst out laughing. Why bother?

Thinking more about these cassettes....

IMHO, doesn't seem like AQ's MO. IIRC, they don't give warnings, just claim responsibility after the event.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Velveeta]

OK, that's a DOT.
