Treasury Designates Seven Al Qaida Associates
The U.S. Department of the Treasury designated seven Egyptian individuals pursuant to Executive Order 13224 for acting for and on behalf of Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ), a terrorist group that merged with al Qaida in 2001.
"This action targets the financing mechanisms used by those rogue actors supporting al Qaida," said Robert Werner, Director of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). "Designations are central to identifying and disrupting the support networks fueling al Qaida's agenda."
The activities of these individuals included training and providing material support to al Qaida, as well as conspiring to commit terrorist acts. One of the individuals, Madhat Mursi Al-Sayyid Umar, was an explosives and chemical substances specialist for al Qaida. Another designee, Abdullah Muhammad Rajab Abd Al-Rahman, was responsible for coordinating al Qaida's work with other terrorist organizations.
These individuals are wanted by Egyptian authorities for their involvement in terrorist cases and membership in a terrorist organization.
The United States is taking this action pursuant to United Nations Security Counsel Resolution 1617, which requires member states to financially isolate individuals and entities added to the UN 1267 Committee's consolidated list of terrorists tied to the Taliban, al Qaida and UBL.

Well, I've never seen the cop disarmed or his weapon discharge, but have experienced plenty of whackos under arrest while awaiting treatment in the ER.

Re: the Lake George incident:
There were no loose, plastic chairs on the Ethan Allen. All passengers were seated on park bench-type seats, bolted to the deck of the 40-year-old, 40-foot vessel.
There was no fire or explosion as three eyewitnesses reported. The large plume of smoke that rose as the boat capsized was the result of the cold lake water pouring onto the hot inboard diesel that propelled the boat.
The sheriff cautioned that eyewitness accounts can often be inaccurate, including the three witnesses in this case who said they saw fire and heard an explosion.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NORMAN, Okla. -- The general manager of a Norman feed store said Tuesday that Joel Henry Hinrichs III had inquired about purchasing a significant amount of ammonium nitrate, the primary ingredient used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Dustin Ellison, the general manager of Ellison Feed & Seed on Porter Avenue, said that a man matching Hinrichs' description had come into the store days before he blew himself up on OU's campus. Ellison said the man asked about ammonium nitrate, but couldn't offer a reason why he needed it."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The father of a University of Oklahoma student who committed suicide outside a packed football stadium using explosives said Monday his son didn't intend to harm anyone else or push a political agenda.
Joel Henry Hinrichs III, 21, died Saturday when a device attached to his body exploded about 8 p.m. while he sat on a bench, officials said.
The blast could be heard inside the stadium less than 100 yards away where more than 80,000 people attended OU's game against Kansas State.
Joel Hinrichs Jr. said that his son did not leave a suicide note and that FBI agents told him hydrogen peroxide was used to construct the bomb."

Experts see parallels in Bali and London attacks
By Jason Szep
BOSTON (Reuters) - The common traveler's backpack carrying small bombs may now be among the leading threats to world security, experts said on Monday, drawing a link between this weekend's bombings in Bali to those in London in July.
Militants from the United States to Europe and Southeast Asia have used car and truck bombs and even planes to make dramatic statements. But now small, easily made bombs like those used in London appear to be the new trend.
The al Qaeda-linked group at the heart of an Indonesian probe into the three bombs that tore through restaurants packed with Saturday evening diners and killed 22 people likely drew inspiration from the London attack in July, the experts said.
"It shows a shift to small, London-style suicide bombers (like those) in Indonesia from large truck bombs," said Zachary Abuza, an expert on Islamic militancy in Southeast Asia at Boston's Simmons College.
U.S. authorities warned people of threats posed by small, home-made bombs after the July 7 attack in London's transit system that killed 56 people, putting New York on its highest level of alert since the September 11, 2001, attacks.
But much of that security has been rolled back. Police have dismantled checkpoints, scaled back subway patrols and pulled bomb-sniffing dogs off New York commuter trains.
Security experts such as Arnold Howitt of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government said a Bali-style attack involving hard-to-detect bombs would be remarkably easy in the United States. Bomb-making materials are easy to find and security loopholes in restaurants and trains are plentiful.
But he said one element appears missing: suicide bombers.
"The limiting factor in the United States is that the most effective way of carrying out this kind of attack is through suicide bombers and we don't seem to have a supply of indigenous suicide bombers," he said.
Abuza said the simplicity of stuffing bombs into backpacks likely influenced the Bali bombers. Chilling video footage released in Bali late on Sunday showed a man entering a restaurant, followed almost instantly by an explosion.
The attack contrasts with a truck bomb detonated in the Indonesian capital Jakarta near Australia's embassy on September 9, 2004, killing three people, and to a suicide car bomb outside the JW Marriott Hotel in Jakarta in 2003 that killed 12.
"The shift from large truck bombs to people with a small 5 kg (11 lb) bomb on their back is very significant. To me it says a lot about the resources that they have or don't have. The truck bombs were very expensive operations," said Abuza.
He said the simplicity made it easier to launch attacks. "I think we're going to see a lot more of this," he added.

Embrace N-weapons: Bashir
Samantha Maiden
October 04, 2005
ABU Bakir Bashir, the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiah, has outlined the religious justification for terror attacks in Bali, London and New York and urged jihadists to embrace nuclear weapons "if necessary".
In a chilling interview last month in the Jakarta cell where he remains after his conspiracy conviction in relation to the 2002 Bali bombings, the radical Muslim cleric also warned of a clash of civilisations that would not end until the West "accepts to be governed by Islam".
The alleged terrorist leader speaks of his hopes of meeting Osama bin Laden if he is released from prison and explains the justification for suicide bombers and terror attacks. "During battle it is different. Still, the whole notion revolves around martyrdom," he says. "But in places like London and in America there must be other calculations. In battle it is best to cause as many casualties as possible."
Published a fortnight ago by the Washington-based Jamestown Foundation, the interview was conducted by Scott Atran on August 13 and 15 at Cipinang Prison in Jakarta.
Asked about his personal views regarding the bombings in his homeland, including the Bali bombings in 2002 and the Marriott bombing in 2003, Bashir praises the bombers. "I call those who carried out these actions all mujahid," he says.
"They all had a good intention, that is, jihad in Allah's way, the aim of the jihad is to look for blessing from Allah.
"They are right that America is the proper target because America fights Islam. So in terms of their objectives, they are right, and the target of their attacks was right also.
"No, they didn't attack because they defended themselves. They shouldn't be punished."
In the interview, Bashir urges parents to understand the reward their children will secure if they join the jihad against Westerners.
"If the martyr's family understands Islam deeply, they will obtain many rewards," he says.
"Their reward will come, if they understand. A martyr must have ikhlas (sincerity). The parent who understands this concept must be thankful to Allah.
"This is the spirit of jihad that most scares the infidels. This is a moral force."
Bashir also describes one of the 2002 Bali bombs as "a Jewish bomb". "That bomb was a CIA Jewish bomb. You are stupid to punish Amrozi if he really knows how to make such a bomb," he says. "You should hire him to be a military consultant, because there is no military or police person (in Indonesia) who can make such a bomb. If Amrozi really did make that bomb, he deserves the Nobel Prize. So, the death penalty is not fair."
However, he argues there is little Westerners can do to avoid further conflict.
Bashir also says he recently sent a letter to US President George W. Bush via the US embassy in Jakarta.
"They have to stop fighting Islam, but that's impossible because it is sunnatullah (destiny, a law of nature), as Allah has said in the Koran," he says.
"They will constantly be enemies. But they'll lose. I say this not because I am able to predict the future but they will lose and Islam will win. Islam must win and Westerners will be destroyed. If they refuse to be under Islam, it will be chaos. Full stop. If they want to have peace, they have to accept to be governed by Islam."

OPINION: Yep, the bomb backpack seems to be the in thing, generally speaking.
Who's to say he didn't buy it some place else and pass it on? Maybe that's part of the reason he killed himself.
