"I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat"
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
predicting more attacks in Saudi Arabia (generically, without specifics) is like predicting the sun rising.
Before anyone gets too spun up on this story, there is a matter of politically correct omission here. The community that is experiencing a spread beyond the hospitals is the HIV infected gay community. They are more susceptible to everything than people with intact immune systems. Taken in that context, it is a non-story for most of the healthy people in the world.
got it, thanks:

I don't know - I don't have access to TV today. Oorang's monitoring the Padilla story.
Hopefully you're right and it is localized among that group. One of the kids my son goes to school with lost his dad about 8 months ago from the flesh eating disease. He worked down at the docks in NYC.
Interesting that a spanish speaking gang member fresh out of prison can learn the language well enough to speak it fluently. Those training camps certainly covered everything -- from bomb making to foreign language classes. Glad we shut 'em down.
Apartment Buildings -- Last Friday there was a story that NYC doormen were starting terror training sessions.

Plot to blow up buildings is alleged

WASHINGTON (AP) — Jose Padilla, a detainee held in U.S. custody, was training to blow up hotels and apartment buildings in the United States in addition to a possible attack with a "dirty bomb" radiological device, according to government documents.
The documents, released Tuesday by the Justice Department, said that Padilla and an al-Qaida accomplice were to enter the United States through Mexico or Puerto Rico.
"Padilla and the accomplice were to locate as many as three high-rise apartment buildings which had natural gas supplied to the floors," the government summary of interrogations revealed.
"They would rent two apartments in each building, seal all the openings, turn on the gas, and set timers to detonate the buildings simultaneously at a later time," the papers alleged.
The documents said al-Qaida officials were skeptical of Padilla's ability to set off a dirty bomb but were very interested in the apartment operation.
Top al-Qaida officials "wanted Padilla to hit targets in New York City, although Florida and Washington, D.C. were discussed as well," the summary said.
Padilla was to conduct an Internet search on buildings that had natural gas heating, open a bank account and obtain documents needed to rent an apartment. The plot called for blowing up 20 buildings simultaneously, but Padilla said he could not rent multiple apartments under one identity without drawing attention.
Do you or anyone else know of a website that has basic first aid instructions? I've evaluated our emergency supplies & determined that if I'm not available, my family might not know just what to do for various injuries. I'm planning to order some books from Amazon, but thought in the meantime I'd try to put together some basic instructions for the more common injuries. I found a red cross website from Finland, but the translation is pretty bad so that'll probably be a last resort. Any ideas?
Bomb Scare Closes Stretch of Rehoboth Boardwalk
By MOLLY MURRAY Sussex Bureau reporter 6/1/2004
REHOBOTH BEACH — The ocean block of Rehoboth Avenue and a block-long section of the boardwalk were closed for more than four hours this morning while Delaware State Police investigated a bomb scare.
Rehoboth Beach Police Chief Keith Banks said a newspaper deliveryman told police about 4:30 a.m. that he had spotted a man working in an open briefcase in a storefront. He said he saw wires and batteries inside the briefcase.
The state police bomb unit X-rayed the briefcase and found it had wires and batteries inside, Banks said. It was destroyed, but police later concluded it was not explosive. A second, unidentified package found in the area also was destroyed, he said.
Police are questioning a man they took into custody, Banks said. The street and boardwalk were reopened at 9 a.m. Link to Article
See Granny, you planted a seed and it took root.
Isn' t that so true? There are so many stories and reports that we never hear the bottom line about.
