AL QAEDA FRIENDLY INTERNET BULLETIN BOARD POSTS eBAY USERS PERSONAL INFORMATION
Through Internet Haganah (http://haganah.org.il/harchives/003863.html )
Although they don't know it, Matthew Crawford, Julia Morrison, Lisa Moorhead and Jerome Schneewind all have something in common.
They belong or have belonged to on line Internet giant eBay and along with a number of other individuals, their personal information, such as date of birth, credit card number, social security number and mother's maiden name were posted prominently on a now closed Arabic bulletin board (www.almjlah.net/vb/showthread.php?t=5892&page=17&pp=10).
Reached by telephone, Crawford was shocked. He was totally unaware that his information had been available for the world to see. He said, "I am pretty nervous at the moment."
Crawford said he will contact his bank, close the account and see if he can obtain additional information.
Julia Morrison's mother Heidi said in a telephone interview, "I am really disturbed. This is a first. Nothing like this has ever happened. I don't know what to say."
Lisa Moorhead knew that her eBay account had been hacked and she had canceled her credit card, but she was unaware that the rest of her personal information was on line.
"I feel very open and I have no trust in anything anymore," she said in a telephone interview. "I feel very vulnerable as everything is out there for everyone to see. I won't be using eBay anymore and I probably won't buy anything on the Internet any more. It was one thing when it was just a credit card. Now everything is out there."
Jerome Schneewind, who has cancelled his eBay account, said in a telephone interview, "I suppose one should expect this sort of thing. It is unfortunate it happened because it will have the effect of having our government work for more erosion of civil liberties. I see the necessity for increased security, but I would hope we could preserve the freedoms that make the American way of life worthwhile while increasing security."
In an e-mail statement, eBay Spokesperson Hani Durzy said, "We are aware of the site, which has already been taken down. It appears that this information was secured as a result of a phishing scam, in which the victims unknowingly give their personal information to the perpetrator."
The Almjlah site is no stranger to controversy. According to a Jan. 31 2005 report from the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (http://64.233.179.104/search?q=cache:CK7SY89agMIJ:www.uniraq.org/documents/Iraqi%2520media%2520Monitoring_13%2520Jan%25202005.doc+almjlah&hl=en&ie=UTF-8), www. www.almjlah.net was previously known as "Usamah's Islamic Forums."
The site was reportedly "dominated by participants who are strongly pro al Qa'idah."
The UNAMI also pointed out in the same article that wanted terrorist Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi has also made past use of the Almjlah web site for posting messages.
The report read in part, "Abu-Mus'ab al-Zarqawi's Al-Qa'ida of Jihad Organization in the Land of the Two Rivers .... claimed responsibility for attacks on the Green Zone in Baghdad earlier that day. The statement posted on the Usamah's Memo site at www.almjlah.net/vb (previously known as Usamah's Islamic Forums) said that the group had ‘attacked the strongholds of the infidels' in the Green Zone. The statement warned of ‘fierce battles' to come and said that they would ‘continue their jihad until the flag of monotheism streams in the skies of Iraq.'"
The company hosting the site appeared to be www.dammamhost.com. False contact information was provided for the site administrators. The name and address read, "alshahab moh, dammam, dammam, sa 966, United States."
E- mails to Dammam Host asking for comment about the company's apparent hosting of the web site were not returned.
The Almjlah web site was apparently registered on June 28 2004. Its electronic home appeared to be the on the same computer as Dammam Host.
Dammam Host apparently rents computer hosting space from a company in the United States – www.fastservers.net. When informed about the content on the Almjlah bulletin board, a company employee said the site would be removed.
Within a few hours the site was no longer available on line.

It's actually okay JP. These are jobs undoubedly that no qualified American would want. Those potential high-tech and "specialty workers." losing their homes and cars because they can't find a job Americans!
Better to let those jobs go to foreigners who may take those trade secrets and technological data back to from whence they came so they can use it against us later! Homeland Security in this instance is an oxymoron.

Travel Warning
United States Department of State
Bureau of Consular Affairs
Washington, DC 20520
This information is current as of today, Mon Mar 28 2005 22:06:49 GMT-0800.
PAKISTAN
March 25, 2005
This Travel Warning is being reissued to remind U.S. citizens of ongoing security concerns in Pakistan. This Travel Warning supersedes the Travel Warning dated September 24, 2004.
Due to on-going concerns about the possibility of terrorist activity directed against American citizens and interests, the Department of State continues to warn U.S. citizens to defer non-essential travel to Pakistan. The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad and the Consulates in Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar continue to operate at reduced staffing levels. Family members of official Americans assigned to the Embassy in Islamabad and to the three consulates in Pakistan were ordered to leave the country in March 2002 and have not been allowed to return.
Al-Qaida and Taliban elements continue to operate inside Pakistan, particularly along the porous Afghan border region. Their presence, coupled with that of indigenous sectarian and militant groups in Pakistan, continues to pose potential danger to American citizens. Continuing tensions in the Middle East also increase the possibility of violence against Westerners in Pakistan. As security has tightened at official U.S. facilities, terrorists and their sympathizers have demonstrated their willingness and capability to attack more vulnerable targets, including facilities where Americans are generally known to congregate or visit, such as hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, or outdoor recreation events.
U.S. citizens who travel to, or remain in Pakistan despite this Travel Warning are encouraged to register with the Embassy's Consular Section or the Consulates in Lahore, Peshawar, and Karachi through the State Department's travel registration website, https://travelregistration.state.gov and obtain updated information on travel and security within Pakistan. Americans without Internet access may register directly with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate. Persons wishing to register in person at the U.S. Consulate General in Karachi should call that office for information on how to register given the special security measures in effect. Updated travel and security information for Pakistan is issued periodically via the emergency alert system (the warden network). U.S. citizens in country should take appropriate individual precautions to ensure their security and safety. These measures include maintaining good situational awareness, avoiding crowds and demonstrations, as well as keeping a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel and ensuring that travel documents and visas are valid.
From time to time, any post in Pakistan may temporarily suspend public services for security reasons. Official Americans may be prohibited from traveling to certain areas of Pakistan due to security concerns. Therefore, they may not be able to render immediate service to American citizens in distress. The Embassy and Consulates websites have the latest information on more specific travel restrictions and conditions. Many areas of Pakistan such as the Federally Administered Tribal Areas along the international border and the area adjacent to the Line of Control in the disputed territory of Kashmir are restricted for non-Pakistanis. Travel to any restricted region requires official permission by the Government of Pakistan. Failure to obtain such permission in advance can result in arrest and detention by Pakistani authorities.

JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ANNOUNCES TEXAS MAN PLEADED GUILTY TO ATTACKING ISLAMIC CENTER
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights R. Alexander Acosta, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas Johnny Sutton, and Special Agent in Charge of the El Paso Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Ralph G. Diaz announced today that Antonio Flores has pleaded guilty to charges relating to an attempted firebombing of the Islamic Center of El Paso in El Paso, Texas.
"Religiously- and racially-motivated crimes are among the most ugly and hateful acts faced today," said R. Alexander Acosta, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division. "Bigoted and ignorant behavior such as attempting to firebomb a place of worship will not be tolerated, and the Justice Department will prosecute vigorously those who would attempt such abhorrent acts."
The defendant pleaded guilty yesterday in U.S. District Court to violating 18 U.S.C. § 247, which prohibits damaging or attempting to damage religious property, and 18 U.S.C. § 844(h), which prohibits the use of fire or an explosive device in the commission of a felony. At his plea hearing, Flores admitted that he threw a Molotov cocktail at the Islamic Center and placed a second, similar device near a gas meter on the Center's property.
Flores faces a maximum potential penalty of 30 years in prison, a potential $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release. This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is being prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas.
The Justice Department has investigated over 600 incidents of "backlash" since September 11, 2001. Federal charges have been brought in 22 cases against 27 defendants, yielding the conviction of 22 defendants to date. Six federal prosecutions are currently pending trial or sentencing. With the help of the Department of Justice in a number of cases, state and local authorities have brought nearly 150 criminal prosecutions.

No, you're right...I was looking at several articles at once.
My error.

Oh thank you for looking that up again Cindy.
Ping to the links at:

The linked article appearing in yesterday's Jerusalem Post posits that references in the Koran that God will destroy the wicked using earthquakes and tidal waves. The author believes that this refers to the Great Satan , the USA.
I'm not always really well informed, but it strikes me that most of the major earthquakes and tidal waves are happening in Muslim countries, and killing believers of Islam...
Hmmmm....
