Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

"Sudan's Chinese Guardian"
By Frederick W. Stakelbeck Jr.
FrontPageMagazine.com | March 23, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Sudan’s brutal Islamist President Omar al-Bashir and Chinese President Hu Jintao have become fast friends as of late, forging a Sino-Sudanese alliance that has serious implications for the Sudanese people and the future stability of the African continent. "China has burst on the African scene with a presence that has been frightening to many people who hadn’t realized how wide its reach is," U.S. Representative Randy Forbes (R-VA), chairman of the new House China Caucus, noted in January.

The recent announcement by Beijing of a new Africa policy based upon the concept of "mutual fulfillment with no preconditions" has raised concerns in Washington by those who say that China’s Sudan foreign policy is manipulative and opportunistic; and that it ignores the displacement of an estimated 2 million Sudanese villagers and the murder of 180,000 others for its own economic gain."

"US Immigration has declared it will not deport Posada Carriles to either Cuba or Venezuela, where there are outstanding warrants for his crimes against humanity, but will "possibly" deport him someplace else. "

Why would we let him go at all??

I grow more and more concerned about the odd things happening in this country with various gov agencies. I just read that Bill CLinton continues his love affair with the UAE and they are in cahoots to buy grocery stores of all things now. I as a citizen of this country am against any further foreign purchases of anything here!! Not that the gov cares one iota about any of our concerns. It's all about money and votes doncha know.

Re #1363

>> planned to target pubs, nightclubs and trains <<

Good find JP. I would also include shopping malls and sporting events in this target list.

As ExSolder has stated before, one armed citizen in the right place at the right time could save countless lives.

We all need to be aware of what is happening around us while at these places/events.

Scary, isn't it? Attack and shutdown our ports and store shelves will go bear in a matter of days triggering massive civil unrest. That thought is also worrisome.

Woman’s death believe to be tied to swimming pool (Illinois)

LINCOLN — Health officials say an elderly Indiana woman died and dozens others got sick after swimming in a contaminated hotel swimming pool in this central Illinois town.
(snip)
Hilliard said samples taken from the pool March 7 showed there was no chlorine in the water. It has been closed as state and local health regulators investigate.

Harris said Monday that about 150 of the 500 guests interviewed by health officials have reported experiencing respiratory illness since using the pool.

In a rare move, the federal government has barred a company from shipping freight aboard passenger airlines because of repeated security violations, officials said.

The Transportation Security Administration revoked the certification of Torrance-based J.H. World Express Inc. on Wednesday. Officials said it was only the second time the agency has taken such action against a freight shipper.(snip)

>> Last week three Muslim conscripts of the Austrian army refused to salute the Austrian flag because this was incompatible with their faith. <<

I am so very sick and tired of muslims thinking they deserve special treatment. If they don't like Austria they can crawl back to the pest holes they came from. That goes double for muslims living in America. If you don't like it here - LEAVE.

>> The soldiers were not disciplined. <<
Sheer stupidity!

Yep that's why I like living in the boonies :>} BTW I like your profile page. Only real immediate threat for me would be a nuke attack. If that went down my location is a ground zero anyway. Other than that most of what I need to survive food & water wise is right outside the door :>}
