Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Twenty-Eight

[MamaDearest]

Clarke was asked on Good Morning America what the black turban signified (if anything). He responded that it meant "jihad." Now there's a news scoop - as if it was something brand spanking new and he's the one to give us the scoop (about made me gag). IMHO ABC's credibility factor goes down dramatically whenever they have Clarke open his mouth as an "expert". Clinton and Clarke passed on the opportunity to bag OBL in the first place! No wonder Fox News beats the tar out of their ratings!

re: "...operative date..."

Still holding breath...

Hiroshima anniversary will be at 19h15 EST this evening (about 65 minutes from now!)

August 5 is also the date that Josephus reports that Herod's Temple to God was destroyed in AD 70 (Second time). The Temple was previoulsy destroyed by the Babylonians (quel irony) on THE SAME DATE the first time around!

Nothing like a little history to brighten your day.

"Radical endorses Iraq jihad"
News.com.au ^ | August 06, 2005 | Cameron Stewart

Posted on 08/05/2005 3:03:48 PM PDT by Borges

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Eventually, the moderates won and Benbrika and his followers moved on. For a time he attended the Brunswick prayer hall of controversial radical cleric Sheik Mohammed Omran. But sources say that even Omran was too moderate for Benbrika, who moved on and established his own small but hard-core group of young followers.

By this stage, Benbrika has won his battle to stay in Australia. He had overstayed his visa several times and in 1994 was deemed an "unlawful non-citizen". But two years earlier, on August 7, 1992, he had married a 20-year-old Lebanese woman called Rakia Abdullah. She was already an Australian citizen, having arrived here from Lebanon in 1988. He was finally granted a spouse visa in 1995 and became an Australian citizen in 1998.

Benbrika lives with his pregnant wife and their six children in a working-class suburb in Melbourne's north.

Before arriving in Australia, he worked as an electrical engineer with Algerian airlines. However, it is understood that he has not worked for any Australian airlines.

The family has frequently struggled to make ends meet and is believed to rely largely on social security.

According to Benbrika, his teachings are peaceful and he keeps to himself and his own community.

"I am not involved in anything here," he told ABC radio. "I am teaching my brothers here the Koran and the Sunna, and I am trying my best to keep myself, my family, my kids and the Muslims close to this religion."

But in the same breath, Benbrika made claims that have appalled moderate Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

"Osama bin Laden, he is a great man," he said. " Osama was a great man before 11 September, which they said he did it, and until now, nobody knows who did it."

Benbrika also said he would not stop any Australian Muslim from going to Iraq and fighting Western troops there, including Australian troops. 'According to my religion, jihad is part of my religion, and what you have to understand that anyone who fights for the sake of Allah, the first when he dies, the first drop of blood that comes from him out, all his sin will be forgiven.""

The two peroxide compounds are temperature sensitive. i hope the bad guys go for the fuliminate or the azide's. They're both primary high explosives. In loose form, they are so unbelievably unstable that they can go off if you even squint wrong in their direction.

Knight Ridder Newspapers

WASHINGTON - (KRT) - Sixty years after the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, a film documenting the aftermath is reminding Americans about the horrors of nuclear war.

Footage from a U.S. government-produced film, which was labeled top secret and kept out of public view for decades, is included in "Original Child Bomb," a documentary that will air on many cable stations Saturday, the 60th anniversary of the day that Hiroshima became the first city to suffer atomic attack.

--

"Original Child Bomb" will premiere on the Sundance Channel this weekend, along with two other movies related to nuclear power, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the bombing in Japan.

Airtimes according to the channel's Web site:

Saturday at 8 p.m.

Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

Aug. 14 at 3:30 p.m.

Aug. 19 at 2 p.m.

Aug. 24 at noon.

oops..............to see.

[freeperfromnj]

This guy is full of hatred. I was listening to Mike Savage on the way home and he played the audio clip.

[Mata6858]

Yes that is why I am concerned with the 9-11 date. They are talking of a hirmosihma they may not mean the actual date that we hit Japan but rather our own hiroshima on the anniversary of 9-11

[Cindy]

"This guy is full of hatred."

Yep.
Jihad, another day.

[freeperfromnj]

Cindy, I know we never gave Daleel much credence but look at this blast from the past. August 5 - maybe we just had the year wrong?

It's obviously the famous countdown clock from last year, but it popped up in my search. There may be some interesting tidbits to pick up reading between the lines of some of the propaganda.

[Cindy]

I don't know freeperfromnj.
Anyone can be anybody (or so they think) online.

The last time I was interested in daleel, was when he
tried to get on a jihadi board and the jihadis laughed
him off, so to speak. That was couple years ago, if I
recall correctly.

I have no opinion, one way or the other about daleel,
eom, oem (the spammer), moe (the imitator of eom), etc.

There are some very verbose jihad supporters online.
It could be daleel was one.

"US Feds and San Diego cops will not back the Minutemen."

Sad state of affairs when the citizens have to protect the border.

[freeperfromnj]

It was this time last year. I didn't know they laughed him off the Jihad boards. That's rough. Thanks for the info.

"Don't all the Iran clerics wear black."

Good thinking granny. And that Al Sadr guy in Iraq wears one as well.

Hiroshima marks atomic bomb anniversary

HIROSHIMA, Japan -- With water and flowers for the dead, Hiroshima is remembering how a flash in the early morning sky 60 years ago turned life to death for more than 140,000 people and forever changed the face of war.

To mark the 60th anniversary Saturday of the world's first atomic bomb attack, tens of thousands were expected at Peace Memorial Park, the spiritual epicenter of the global anti-nuclear movement for one day each year.

After a moment of silence at 8:15 a.m., the instant of the blast, Hiroshima Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba was to appeal for all nuclear powers to give up their arsenals. And at a simple, arch-shaped stone monument in the park, wreaths and ladles of water were to be offered.

[WestCoastGal]

Since I'm still in the southwest, I heard on the news recently that the OTM's are up 40% this year.

I truly wish our government would take the border seriously. I think we are protecting the Iraq border more than our own.

[TWhiteBear]

FYI

The four-lane highway was closed Thursday evening from just west of Missoula to St. Regis, just east of Lookout Pass on the Montana-Idaho border. Officials said they were still investigating what started the fires, but said arson or possibly a vehicle dragging something that emitted sparks were both considered possible causes.

"This absolutely wasn't an act of God," said fire spokesman Scott Waldron.

ALBERTON, Mont. (AP) — Four separate blazes that apparently were ignited along Interstate 90 near here continued to burn out of control Friday, and officials said a 90-mile stretch of the interstate would remain closed indefinitely while crews battled the blazes.

Thousands mark Hiroshima A-bomb 60th anniversary

HIROSHIMA, Japan (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of people from around the world gathered in Hiroshima on Saturday to mark the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city and to renew calls for the abolition of nuclear arms.

The anniversary of the world's first atomic bombing comes as regional powers continue talks in Beijing to urge North Korea to give up its nuclear program, seen by Tokyo as a potential threat and one of the reasons behind rising calls in Japan to strengthen its defense and seek closer military cooperation with the United States.

Under a blazing summer sun, survivors and families of victims assembled at the Peace Memorial Park near "ground zero," the spot where the bomb detonated on the morning of Aug. 6, 1945, killing thousands and leveling the city.

Dignitaries including Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi attended the ceremony in Hiroshima, some 690 km (430 miles) southwest of Tokyo.

At 8:15 a.m., the time when the U.S. B-29 warplane Enola Gay dropped the bomb, people at the park and throughout the city observed a minute's silence in memory of those who perished.
