Islamist Recruitment in Bosnia - A "White" Al-Qaeda

10:15 Jan 21, '04 / 27 Tevet 5764

(IsraelNN.com) Serbian news outlets have been reporting with
increasing intensification in recent days on attempts by Islamist
terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda, to recruit soldiers among
Bosnia's Muslims.

The independent Serbian news agency FoNet reported on Tuesday
that Muslims from Bosnia-Herzegovina are being recruited to join the
what has been called "white Al-Qaeda".

Is there enough to convict Al-Arian?

"Think this ties in with the diver threats we've discussed previously on TM?"

I don't know, but it sheds a whole new light on divers. I wonder how much security our oil platforms have? Seems to me there was someone on Fox just prior to Rita saying there wasn't much.

Only the really bad kids did dope and stood on the corner, the gangs, were something we did not want to join.

Iraq war foes ready for 2,000th military death

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son's death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

"I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.

"Iran bringing “many divers, sophisticated technology” to Gulf of Mexico"

"Iran bringing “many divers, sophisticated technology” to Gulf of Mexico"
by Laura Mansfield

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Earlier this year, a top Iranian General made the following boast: “Iran is the biggest military power in the region (with) 10 million volunteers for martyrdom operations ... to turn Iran into a terrible nightmare for the United States,” General Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, deputy commander of Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guards, told the Kayhan newspaper.

This summer, the BBC reported an ad in an Iranian publication has calling for volunteers for "martyrdom operations" against the enemies of Islam. The ad was published by an institute managed by one of Iran's most conservative and radical clerics, Ayatollah Masbah Yazdi, who has declared his support for Iran's new President, Mahmoud Ahmedinejad. It recruits men and women to enlist with the "Martyrdom Lovers' Headquarters".

So I find it more than a little ironic that the same country that is actively recruiting volunteers to conduct suicide missions against United States and US interests, and is opening bragging about it, has now been granted a base of operations in the Gulf of Mexico, within easy striking distance of America’s Gulf Coast.

The Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company is expected to begin shortly a major $90 million dollar project laying pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico. The company says it will be laying 36-inch pipes 60-70 meters under water.

The company expects to be handing the rest of the $400 million dollar project as well.

According to a press release on IRNA, “The Gulf of Mexico project will help the Iranian company gain valuable experiences given the large presence of European and American companies in the area.”

The press release also states that the “project will need many divers and sophisticated technology.”

Is anyone in our government paying attention here?"

I would've replied sooner, but our power has been out all day - it finally came back up just as I was leaving for work.

We fared pretty well - TONS of rain, though. It must've rained for 6, 7 hours straight. The winds picked up as the day went on; gusts were near hurricane-strength. It's now down to 35 mph. I sent the wife and kids up to the in-laws in St. Pete: I worked at the paper last night, got home around 9:30 and rode it out with the four cats. We all slept through the worst of it. :-)

The oddest thing about Wilma was that it was the "coolest" hurricane I've ever been through. It got into the 60s; now it's 72. Usually, hurricanes are muggy beasts.

Hope all is well with ExSoldier. Miami got hammered.
