New wave of arrests in Lebanon after UN report

Saad Hariri: People who planned, carried out and covered up this
crime face punishment.
BEIRUT: As Lebanon and the world prepare themselves for UN Chief
Investigator Detlev Mehlis' briefing to the United Nations Security
Council Tuesday on his controversial report on the assassination of
former Premier Rafik Hariri, a new wave of related arrests has been
carried out. Mehlis was subject to heavy questioning from the
international media at a news conference he held Friday to explain
why his report was released in two different versions, one citing the
names of top Syrian officials, including the brother and brother-in-law
of Syrian President Bashar Assad, and the other with them deleted.
The German prosecutor, who left unsatisfied media hunger for the real
reason behind the deleted parts of his report, issued a statement after
the conference saying: "I established a rule that any person named in
witness testimony should not be named in the report unless that
person has been charged with a crime related to the assassination of
former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri."

Al-Qaeda in Iraq [Tanzeem Qaedat Al-Jihad Fi Bilad Al-Rafidayn]
issued a 6:22 minute video on Saturday, October 22, 2005, depicting
the interrogation and execution of Abbas Dahel Majid al-Obeidi, a man
identified as a member of the Iraqi National Defense, affiliated with
the Shi’ite Badr Organization. Al-Obeidi is seen sitting on a floor and
holding his identification cards, as two masked men carrying machine
guns are standing behind him. Several questions are posed to
al-Obeidi, including the mission of Badr, aggression against the Sunni
people, alleged American support to this organization, and fatwas
which authorize dishonor upon Sunni women.
Following the questioning, Ababs Dahel Majid al-Obeidi is beheaded.

Thanks for the link, and the earlier google search link RE: Tulsa and Witchita. Sounds like Pettingill made the mayor sound like a fool for suggesting such a thing - he said almost the same thing when all of us out here on the 'net suggested Hinrichs might have had something to do with terrorists as well. Admitting at this point that Al Qaeda has cells in Oklahoma, or Kansas would be equal to admitting extreme failure on the part of the FBI and our national security forces. IMHO, I think that's why they hush everyone who speaks of it...
