FBI urges vigilance for July 4

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A constant stream of intelligence indicating that al Qaeda wants to strike the United States this summer or fall has led federal officials to urge increased vigilance during the Independence Day weekend, but there is no specific threat of an attack timed to the holiday.

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

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

[drymans wife]

You know that's the best news to come from that
region. I hope these groups will set a president
to other Muslims around the country to not get
snarled in the extremist webs. What a message
it would send to these princbinladen wanta be's.

[dobberkcd]

I would be a lot more excited if it were Ben Laden ....Omar is rather insignificant

[HipShot]

Remember though that the Egyptians are doing the same type of military buildup and exercises that they did before attacking Israel in 1973. I'm concerned that he's going to a "war" cabinet.

OPINION: UBL IS DEAD or captured or in a hideyhole somewhere and has been for quite awhile.

Since Mullah Omar had a satellite phone, it may be has kept in touch with friends and family on his favorite calling plan. Just a thought.

[drymans wife]

You are probably right but I think if we drop a
big bomb on Omar's head will find what's left
of princebinladen too.

Could be...

If the media reports are correct that "the chatter" is up; it could be interesting as to what the military and LEO's find.

I bet Mullah Omar isn't using THAT phone anymore.

TALIBAN CUT THROAT OF CONVERT FOR SPREADING GOSPEL
Amid reports that its leader is alive

By: Stefan J. Bos
Special Correspondent, ASSIST News Service

KABUL, AFGHANISTAN  (ANS) -- The fugitive leader of Afghanistan's former Taliban regime is still alive and his group has stepped up attacks against Christians, including slitting the throat of a Muslim clerk for spreading Christianity, ASSIST News Service (ANS) learned Friday July 9. (Pictured: Map of Afghanistan).

An Afghan intelligence official told the Voice of America (VOA) Friday, July 9, that his agency was able briefly to make contact with Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, who has been on the run for American forces since 2001 for his alleged involvement in terrorism.

The intelligence official, Abdullah Laghmani, said Mullah Omar was contacted through a telephone taken from a captured former Taliban functionary.

U.S. troops in Afghanistan have aggressively hunted for Mullah Omar and for his ally, Osama bin Laden, who heads the al-Qaida terror network. News about Mullah Omar's ability to evade capture was expected to add to frustration among coalition forces and fear among Christians and moderate Muslims as the country is experiencing Taliban related violence.

SLIT THROAT

In one of the recent incidents, a Taliban spokesman told the Reuters news agency that guerrillas had slit the throat of Muslim cleric Maulawi Assadullah on June 30 because he was propagating Christianity in the remote Awdand district of Ghazni province. Abdul Latif Hakimi said a group of "Taliban dragged out Maulawi Assadullah and slit his throat with a knife because he was propagating Christianity".

He stressed there was "enough evidence and local accounts to prove that he was involved in the conversions of Muslims to Christianity."

In addition the radical Islamic oriented Taliban group is also trying to stop the democratic process in Afghanistan ahead of upcoming elections later this year, human rights groups and Western officials say.

MINE BLAST

On Thursday, July 8, a mine blast in eastern Afghanistan linked to the Taliban killed another female election worker and wounded at least two other people. Police in Khogyani district of Nangarhar province said the victims were returning from registering female voters for upcoming elections Thursday when their car hit the mine.

The election was originally set for June, but was postponed to allow more time to register voters and demobilize unruly militias. Afghanistan said Friday, July 9, it had set October 9 as the date for its first presidential election to end two decades of war and authoritarian rule. A parliamentary election is set to follow next spring, VOA reported.

However Christians and Christian aid workers as well as others the Taliban suspects of supporting the U.S.-led efforts are bracing for more violence.

DOZENS KILLED

The Taliban has reportedly killed at least 33 foreign aid workers since the start of last year, including Frenchwoman Bettina Goislard of the U.N. refugee agency, who was gunned down in the town of Ghazni, the provincial capital, in November. Militants with similar views as the Taliban have also stepped up actions against Christians in Iraq.

In one incident two unidentified men injured a Christian woman when they threw a grenade from their car at the Holy Spirit Chaldean Catholic Church in the Hay Al-akha'a area of Mosul at 10:30 a.m. on June 26, human rights group Barnabas Fund reported Thursday July 8.

The injured woman, who was taken to hospital, is the sister of the parish priest, said Barnabas Fund, which investigates the plight of persecuted Christians in especially Islamic nations.
