"Logging-truck accident kills 2 scientists
Colleagues 'knocked off feet' by sudden deaths"
By MIKE LEWIS
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The logging truck driver, Garland E. Massingham, 40, of Centralia, escaped injury.
Investigators with the State Patrol's Commercial Vehicle Division inspected the truck after the accident and determined that equipment failure caused the logs to come loose. The investigation is continuing."
This is a report we probably need to pay attention to.
Philippine Police Intelligence Report: Abu Sayyaf To Use Women in Bomb Attacks
Report by Nancy C. Carvajal: "Abu Sayyaf to use women in bomb attacks, say police"
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Wednesday, October 5, 2005 T04:05:44Z
THE ABU SAYYAF GROUP (ASG), backed by the Jemaah Islamiyah, is set to deploy women in bombings in Metro Manila and other key cities, a police intelligence report said.
"ASG will utilize women muhahideens (sic) in the conduct of the (bomb attacks)," said the report sent from Camp Crame to local police units.
Mujahideen are Muslim guerrilla warriors engaged in a jihad or holy war.
The report identified targets as Metro Manila and the cities of Zamboanga, Pagadian, Kidapawan and Koronadal. The last four targets are in Mindanao.
The three-page report, a copy of which was obtained by, was disseminated to police units even before Saturday's Bali bombing.
Although the report did not specify how the women would be used in the attacks, it said that ASG leader Jaimal Sali, known as Abu Solaiman, had sent his lover to spy on and identify targets in Metro Manila.
The report identified Sali's lover as Hannah Daud, who also goes by the name Precella Adora.
"The ASG leader reportedly tasked his mistress to conduct casing operations in Metro Manila," the report said.
It said possible targets included commercial areas, embassies, seaports, airports, parks and malls.
An ASG member identified as "Yusop" and five others are reportedly already in Zamboanga City waiting for two boxes of explosives.
Fifteen more Sulu-based ASG members are expected to arrive to augment Yusop's group.
According to the report, a bomb attack on or before Fiesta Pilar on Oct. 12 will launch the series of bombings.
The Zamboanga City Cathedral was identified in the report as a target.
In Pagadian City, northeast of Zamboanga City, two ASG men have reportedly linked up with Moro Islamic Liberation Front Commander Akidin Abdulsalama to coordinate attacks.
The two men, the report said, bought an undetermined amount of explosives in the vicinity of Ticada Island, San Pablo, Zamboanga del Sur on Sept. 11, 2005.
The police report also identified ASG members Abu Ang and a certain Najib as participants in the attack.
"All the teams will make use of women warriors in the operations," the report said.
The police report said Jemaah Islamiya was providing support to the ASG but did not specify how.
