Turkey detains key al-Qaeda figure
From correspondents in Istanbul, Turkey
August 11, 2005
TURKISH police have detained a suspected al-Qaeda militant from Syria who they believe was organising an attack on Israeli targets in Turkey, security sources said today.
The suspect, believed to be the top figure in Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network in Turkey, was apprehended in the south-eastern city of Diyarbakir on Sunday as he tried to board a plane for Istanbul, the sources said.
The suspected militant, identified as Syrian national, Luia Sakra, was due to appear in an Istanbul court tomorrow, courthouse sources said.
Judges today ordered the arrest of another Syrian national brought to the court on charges he is Sakra's courier, the sources said.
Police earlier today denied news reports that at least 10 militants linked to al-Qaeda had been detained while planning attacks on foreign-flagged ships.....

"Victim Holds Car Prowl Suspect At Gunpoint (WA)"
KIRO TV ^ | 8/10/05

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "OLYMPIA, Wash. -- A man pulled a pistol on a car prowler here Tuesday morning and held him at gunpoint until police arrived, KIRO TV News reported.
Police credit the man with solving a string of car prowls and helping to recover more than $4,000 in stolen property.
Chuck Estes awoke Tuesday to find the roof of his wife's convertible slashed and her stereo system stolen.
Estes told KIRO TV News South Sound Bureau Chief Richard Thompson that, "One thing I can't stand in life is a thief."
Estes said he was driving through his neighborhood when he spotted a vehicle suspected in the theft from his wife's car.
Estes had a .44-caliber Magnum Smith and Wesson pistol with him. He approached the suspect's car, drew his gun and ordered the teenaged occupant to put his hands on the dashboard.
Estes called police who arrested the 16-year-old boy. They also arrested a 21-year-old man they say was an accomplice nearby.
Police found Estes' stolen stereo equipment in the back of the suspects' car -- along with items police say were stolen from a dozen other residents of the neighborhood."
He's been reading too much TOM CLANCY...that was the plot line for The Sum of All Fears. IIRC.
Seattle was only the port of entry. The real target for that guy was LAX International airport. My dog never went back to her vomit. EeeeeeYUK.
I understand returning to NY that is/was a high value target for a great many reasons. Seattle isn't unless they hope to start an eruption of Mount Rainier and take out a larger chunk of the area.
More motive yet, they may want retaliation for the coffee shops on every other corner and expresso bars everywhere a shack or cart can be placed in virtually every city in the nation no thanks to Seattle!
It's sitting on the raw nerve of thousands upon thousands of Americans and getting more irritating by the day..sure we work each and every day to support illegals with our social security funds (and disability income if they complain they have drug problems) - not to mention assisting them with home mortgages when our own children cannot afford to buy a home (grrrrrrrrrrrrr)!
You guys are terrific. You make the TM graphic "Don't forget who started it - don't doubt who'll end it" come to life. I agree with Cindy, we want you back here ALIVE and well. God bless you both for your bravado and patriotism!
In case you didn't see my post 687 before I had it pulled (TMI) thanks, guys, from an over-42-year-old guy who wishes you all the best. God bless you and protect you both.
Also, European style dating puts the day first, then the month.
An acquaintance advised animal kennels and carriers are not always searched. That too needs to change.
Hand signals...gangbanger style.
Yep.
