WASHINGTON TIMES.com: "NEW YORK MAN DISAPPEARS AFTER THREATS TO BUSH" by Bill Gertz (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Fox News Channel broadcast an audiotape of Mr. Ward praising Timothy McVeigh, one of the men involved in the 1995 bombing of Oklahoma City's Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. In the tape, Mr. Ward said June 11 should be remembered as "McVeigh Day," when people should recall McVeigh's "noble and dignified sacrifice." In the audiotape, Mr. Ward also called McVeigh "this most honorable young man." McVeigh was executed June 11, 2001, for the bombing, which killed 168 persons. Mr. Ward also said McVeigh "kept the torch of liberty alive in the nightmare of fascism that overtook the United States in the last half of the 20th century."") (September 28, 2004) (Read More...)

Kyrgyzstan intercepts illegal plutonium sale
BISHKEK (AFP) Sep 28, 2004
Kyrgyz security forces have foiled an attempt to sell 60 containers of plutonium-239, which is used for making nuclear weapons, a national security committee spokeswoman said Tuesday.
It remained unclear how much plutonium was contained in the containers, but an official said its grade was high enough to make a so-called "dirty bomb" that disburses high doses of radiation over large areas.
One man was detained during the seizure of the plutonium last week and another suspect escaped, the spokeswoman said.
"Plutonium-239 is not used in Kyrgyzstan -- the security service is trying to establish how this material got into the hands of the detained person," the spokeswoman told AFP.
Fears about the security of chemical and nuclear sites in Kyrgyzstan have risen in recent years with the discovery of a number of such attempts to sell radioactive materials on the black market.
Although it is not thought to have produced nuclear weapons, this former Soviet republic was a major uranium producer until it became an independent republic following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991.

Hackers hit Qaeda-linked Iraq group's website
Tue 28 September, 2004 15:54
DUBAI (Reuters) - Hackers on Tuesday attacked a website of an al Qaeda-linked group that beheaded two U.S. hostages in Iraq, rerouting visitors to a page showing a penguin toting a machine-gun and warning against hosting such sites.
The site of the Tawhid and Jihad Group of al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, set up on a site providing free web hosting, last week carried a tape of British hostage Kenneth Bigley appealing for his life as well as videos of the decapitation of the two U.S. hostages.
"Host them and your next!" was the message left on the site by the hackers, calling themselves TeAmZ USA, who have already attacked several Islamist and pro-al Qaeda Web sites.
Zarqawi's group has threatened to kill Bigley next if women prisoners in Iraq are not released, but has not set a deadline.
Al Qaeda and other militant groups have widely used the internet to spread their message, often using sites providing free web hosting and frequently moving after their sites have been taken down.

DETROIT -- A man opened fire at an in-home day-care center Tuesday, critically wounding three people including a 3-year-old, officials said.
Police initially reported a fatality, but Chief Ella Bully-Cummings said at midday that two adults and a child were critically wounded.
A 7-month-old also was injured, possibly from being dropped, and was taken to a hospital, Bully-Cummings said.
Police were searching for the shooter, who they said came to the door of the house on the city's northwest side, exchanged words with someone, entered and opened fire.
"It appears as though this was not random," Bully-Cummings said.
Two other children who did not appear to have been injured also were taken to a hospital as a precaution, she said.

Day care shooting...wonder how they knew it was semiautomatic?
Detroit police Chief Ella Bully-Cummings said it doesn't appear to be a random shooting. A K-9 unit was assisting in the search for the shooter, who Bully-Cummings described as a black man in his 20s, about 6 feet tall, between 200 and 230 pounds, wearing dark clothing, and carrying a blue, steel semiautomatic weapon.
