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

(New Fairfield-AP, May 29, 2004 9:50 PM) _ New Fairfield's high school was evacuated yesterday for the second time in a week because of a bomb threat.

And local officials say they'll use homeland security laws to prosecute those involved in what they call a quote, "terrorist act," end quote.

RIYADH, 30 May 2004 — “The US Mission in Saudi Arabia wishes to advise the American community that on the morning of May 29, 2004, terrorist attacks were carried out against at least three Western targets in the city of Alkhobar. Foreign nationals, including Westerners and Saudi citizens were killed in the attacks. In light of the terrorist attack in Yanbu on May 1, 2004, and this latest attack in Alkhobar, the embassy reiterates its previous warning strongly urging American citizens to depart the country

What does being "moved to the back room mean?"

[Rushmore Rocks]

Yep, we've been moved to "chat"......or the "time-out" corner.

[Letitring]

Okay. I guess.

I'm just thankful we are still here.

Well crapola. We have been moved to the back room. The mods must be tired of all of the abuse button hitting.

All I can say is the terrorist have won at least here because the Threat Matrix is a goner or some folks are going to have to get down on the knees and beg for this thing to be put back were it was.

KHOBAR, Saudi Arabia - At 7 a.m. on Saturday, Frank Floyd walked through the foyer of the five-story Khobar Petroleum Center and greeted security guard Saleh al Shaya with customary cheeriness. He then headed upstairs to his second-floor office to begin signing paychecks for employees.

A little over 30 minutes later, four black-clad men with assault guns stormed into the building, demanding to know the whereabouts of non-Muslims and forcing the stunned security guard onto the floor. The next time al Shaya saw Frank Floyd, the lifeless middle-aged executive was slumped over his desk.

"...In an attempt to anticipate other all-too-imaginable threats, Congress has just allocated billions for bioterrorism prevention -- three years after the "Dark Winter" wargame exercise posited the idea of the release of smallpox in three American cities. That exercise predicted 1 million dead. Yet as The Washington Post notes, "Of the 57 countermeasures that the Defense Science Board listed in 2000 as necessary to protect the country against known bioterror agents, only two are available..."

Yikes. This portion really got my attention. Does that mean there were only 2 available in 2000, or now?

Am off to google for "dark winter."

[Letitring]

It's so, well...

[liberallyconservative]

Not necessarily. We've been moved to chat before, and people still found us. I'm just glad we're still on the forum.

[Letitring]

Thank you. Dark Winter...

See ya'll in chat tomorrow. Stay Safe.

If they riot now, it will be "because they are picked on and denied their rights".

I hear American voices with that thought all day and night on the radio talk shows.


they are so brainwashed, that they believe it.

[Letitring]

Hugs and goodnight to you. :)
