MMA to expose Rashid's
Kashmir terror camps
Islamabad | August 04, 2005 2:33:32 PM IST

The Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) has
challenged Pakistan Information Minister Sheikh
Rashid Ahmed to prove the existence of Maulana
Fazlur Rehman's terrorist training camp at Tripoli,
failing which it will expose his base camp in
Jammu and Kashmir.

MMA central leader Hafiz Hussain Ahmad said that
the allegation levelled by Rashid regarding a base
camp at Tripoli being run by Maulana Fazl was
absolutely baseless and unfounded.

He said that not only did the MMA have proofs of
the existence of camps in Jammu and Kashmir
run by Rashid, but also of money extorted by him
from Arab personalities, reports Online News.

"I have been forced to expose Sheikh Rashid base
camp in Occupied Kashmir. We accept his
challenge and will prove now in which localities
Sheikh Rashid has set up base camps and from
what sources he extracted heavy amounts in the
name of Mujahideen training," he said

"We have also proofs about extortion of money by
Sheikh Rashid from some Arab personalities with
reference to Jihadi training," he added. (ANI)

Something tells me that the Chinese played around with this one and some way, it has gotten loose.

There are not that many diseases that kill in 24 hours, that you will catch from an animal.

How bout that bent nozzle on the gravy machine in Spain.

I started to not post that one, but then thought of all the loose nuts and bolts on the airplanes.......

Date: 4 Aug 2005 From: ProMED-mail Source: KXMA News, 3 Aug 2005 [edited] _____________________________________________________________ Health officials advise livestock handlers to be cautious ----------------------------------------------- State Epidemiologist Kirby Kruger is urging people who work with livestock to take precautions to avoid contracting anthrax from sick animals. _____________________________________________________________ The anthrax outbreak has affected animals in 9 eastern North Dakota counties. There have been no human cases. _____________________________________________________________ Kruger says the risk of anthrax being transmitted to humans is low. But he says people who work with livestock should still take precautions. They include wearing the proper clothing, washing hands and exposed skin, and minimizing direct contact with the animals. _____________________________________________________________ -- ProMED-mail ****** [2] Date: Wed 3 Aug 2005 From: Susan Keller _____________________________________________________________ There are 10 counties and 69 premises as of today [Wed 3 Aug 2005]. There have been deaths reported after vaccination, at least that's what I'm aware of in North Dakota. _____________________________________________________________ -- Dr. Susan Keller State Veterinarian ND Department of Animal Health 600 East Blvd Bismark, ND 58505 _____________________________________________________________ [The main affected counties are Dickey, Lemore, Ransom, and Sargeant; also Barnes, Griggs, Grand Forks, Steele, Trail, and Walsh. _____________________________________________________________ The common experience with Sterne vaccine is that you will get deaths up to 8 days post-vaccination because it is only at that point that protection has been fully developed. And because of that 8-day risk window, ranchers are encouraged to 1st treat their stock with long-acting antibiotics to treat any apparently healthy animals that are incubating an infection. LA200 gives a 3-day cover but cannot be used with lactating dairy cows. Benzathine Penicillin with Penicillin G Procaine gives a 48-hour cover and can be used with dairy cows. Because the latter is shorter acting, it may not be as efficacious and may need to be given twice or in larger doses than specified on the bottle. _____________________________________________________________ Anyway, if there have been deaths in a dairy herd, animals' temperatures should be checked morning and afternoon when they come in for milking until the vaccination has taken effect; any animal with a temperature or seeming to be ill (dairymen know their animals) should be taken out of the line and treated. There is no risk to humans from the vaccine when they drink the milk from healthy vaccinated cows. _____________________________________________________________ If you use the antibiotics after the vaccine, it can stop the vaccine from developing a full immunity by killing circulating live vaccine organisms. So the best course of action is to 1st treat with antibiotics, wait 7-10 days, and then vaccinate. If you use antibiotics simultaneously with vaccine, you will have to revaccinate the animals 2 weeks later to get any long term protection. _____________________________________________________________ Once a herd has had anthrax, you should revaccinate each following spring for at least 3 years because of any pasture contamination. This also applies to ranchers who may not have had any anthrax deaths but whose neighbors have. You cannot count on the latter remembering to revaccinate next year, and when they are reminded by cows dying, it may be too late for you to protect your animals. I have seen this happen more than a few times. Thanks to Susan for the update. - Mod.MHJ]

WANTED

Mustafa Setmariam Nasar
(Mustafa Sitmaryan Nassar)
Up to $5 Million Reward

Date of birth: October 26, 1958
Place of birth: Aleppo, Syria
Aliases: Abu Musab al-Suri, Umar Abd al-Hakim

Mustafa Setmariam Nasar, also known as Abu Musab al-Suri, is an al-Qa'ida member and former trainer at the Derunta and al-Ghuraba terrorist camps in Afghanistan.

Born in Aleppo, Syria in 1958, Nasar was a member of the radical Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. He fled Syria in the 1980s and traveled widely throughout the Middle East and North Africa, before associating with the Algerian Islamic Group. He settled in Madrid in 1987 and gained Spanish citizenship through marriage.

While in Spain, he authored a series of inflammatory essays under the pen name Umar Abd al-Hakim. In 1995 he moved to United Kingdom and served as a European intermediary for al-Qa'ida. Nasar traveled extensively between Europe and Afghanistan throughout the late 1990s, finally moving his family to Afghanistan in 1998.

He attempted to organize his own extremist group prior to September 11, 2001 - but in the wake of the attacks he pledged loyalty to Usama Bin Ladin as a member of al-Qa'ida. While in Afghanistan, Nasar worked closely with Midhat Mursi al-Sayid 'Umar AKA Abu Khabab al-Masri to train extremists in poisons and chemicals. Nasar also conducted training at the al-Ghuraba camp in Afghanistan.

He is likely in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Recent unconfirmed press reports suggest that he may have had a role in the March 11, 2004 Madrid Bombings.

"Italian river 'full of cocaine'"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "According to official estimates, people living around the Po consume about 15,000 doses of cocaine a month.

But the research claims more than three times as much cocaine is used in the area.

The team, led by Dr Ettore Zuccato from the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Milan, said they were taken aback by their findings, whose economic impact they described as "staggering".

"The large amount of cocaine (at least 1,500 kg/3,307lb) that our findings suggest are consumed per year in the River Po basin would amount... to about $150m (£84m) in street value," the scientists wrote in the journal.

They hope that in the near future, they will be able to develop similar tests in order to assess the true number of cannabis and heroin users."

Hi Vlad,

I saw the following link:
http://crusader.rulez.jp/files/0805200501.wmv
and I want to say that this video is a hoax.

1.On the beginning of the video it said (in arabic letters) that the Mujahedeen captured Iraqis stealing and selling pylons and power cables. They punishes them according to “Hikm ´Allah” (means how Allah s.w.t tells us to do with them): In this case with lashes /strokes.
But in the video we see strange that has noting to do with the thieves nor with the audio in the background.

It is said too, that the mujahedden have brought back the stollen things.

British MP Galloway praises Iraqi insurgents
scotsman.com ^ | Fri 5 Aug 2005 | GETHIN CHAMBERLAIN AND GERRI PEEV

Posted on 08/05/2005 3:54:17 AM PDT by F14 Pilot

ANOTHER extraordinary attack by George Galloway on the UK's continuing presence in Iraq prompted calls yesterday for the incitement of attacks on British troops to be made a criminal offence.

Mr Galloway used a series of appearances on Arab television stations to praise insurgents fighting British forces in Iraq, refer to them as martyrs and to accuse the Prime Minister of using the London bomb attacks to justify the war on terror.

His comments drew strong criticism from politicians on both sides of the House, with the Labour MP Eric Joyce claiming that he was putting the lives of British soldiers at risk and the shadow defence spokesman, Gerald Howarth, calling for the law to be used to prosecute those who incited insurgents to attack British forces.

But support for the withdrawal of British forces from Iraq came from the London mayor Ken Livingstone, who said it was essential if London was to avoid more bomb attacks.

"Blair vows hard line on fanatics"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "It is Mr Blair's final press conference before his summer holiday
Tony Blair has outlined a raft of plans to extend powers to deport or exclude foreigners who encourage terrorism.
The UK can already exclude or deport those who pose a threat to security and the premier said he wanted to clamp down on those who advocated terror.

Mr Blair said he was prepared to amend human rights laws to make deportations more straightforward.

British hospitality had been abused and people should know the "rules of the game are changing", he said.

"People now understand that when we warned of the terrorist threat it wasn't scaremongering it was real."

New terror threat

Among the planned changes he said people would be refused asylum if they had been involved in terrorism.

A one-month consultation would be held on the new grounds for excluding and deporting people - something which does not require new legislation.


PLANNED MEASURES
New grounds for deporting and excluding people from the UK
Home secretary to consider deporting any foreigner involved in listed extremist centres and websites
Make justifying or glorifying terrorism anywhere an offence
Automatically refuse asylum to anyone with anything to do with terrorism
Set a maximum time limit for extraditions to other countries
Examine calls for police to be able to hold terror suspects for longer before pressing charges
Use more control orders against British terror suspects
Increase the number of special judges hearing terror cases
Ban the Hizb ut Tahrir and Al-Muhajiroun organisations
Review the threshold for gaining British citizenship
Create a list of preachers who will be kept out of the UK
Use biometric visas for those from designated countries
These will include advocating violence to further a person's belief, justifying or validating such violence, or fostering hatred.

The Hizb ut Tahrir organisation and Al-Muhajiroun - or its successor group - are to be banned, Mr Blair announced."

"Blair Announces New Measures Against Terrorism"
Friday, August 05, 2005

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "LONDON — Prime Minister Tony Blair (search) on Friday announced new deportation measures against people who foster hatred and advocate violence following last month's transportation attacks that killed 52 people and four suspected suicide bombers.

Clerics who preach hate and Web sites or book shops that sponsor violence would be targeted. Foreign nationals could be deported under the new measures.

Blair said his government was prepared to amend human rights legislation if necessary if legal challenges arose from the new deportation measures."
