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.

"Five Christian Aid Workers Killed in Afghanistan"
Apr 10 2006 09:45 PM
By ClintTaylor

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Massacre at a rural clinic.

The victims include a doctor, community health worker, and health educator who were part of a project run by the Rural Rehabilitation Association for Afghanistan (RRAA), in Darrah-i-Bohm, Badghis province.

It is thought that at least four gunmen broke into their clinic at around 1am today (local time). According to reports, the gunmen tied them up before shooting them.

That detail caught the eye of terrorism blogger "Dr. Rusty Shackleford" at the Jawa Report, who concludes that both their group's Christian affiliation and the manner in which they were tied up and then shot was"a sign that their murderers first gave them a Sharia kangaroo court, followed by a sentence of 'guilty' for 'apostasy' before 'executing' them."

The Christian Aid article offers speculation that the killing may have been a retaliation against opium eradication efforts, but notes that
Local non-governmental organisations funded by foreign donors are increasingly becoming targets for those who wish to destabilise Afghanistan at this crucial stage in its development."

NBC's Dateline Caught in New Scandal
Jim Kouri

Slowly -- ever so slowly -- a new mainstream news media scandal is being exposed by members of the so-called new media. This time it's NBC News's "Dateline" which is being investigated for allegedly creating news rather than reporting news.

According to producers at NBC News, the show is attempting to film Americans' reaction to seeing Muslim men in their midst at public events. And, although they'll never admit it, they're pulling their stunt at events they believe will attract the most rednecks.

For instance, NBC sent a film crew with a group of "Muslim-looking men" to a NASCAR event in Virginia in order to film the reaction of the spectators. Apparently, NBC believes that's where they're likely to get a desired reaction from the bigots who attend NASCAR races. In the middle of a war on terrorism, NBC wants to show "Dateline" viewers that Americans are a bunch of bigots.

"6 Kids Killed in Afghan Rocket Explosion"
Apr 11th - 12:16am

ARTICLE: "KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A rocket exploded in the middle of a packed school in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing six children, police said.


The rocket landed in the yard of Salabagh School in Asadabad, close to a U.S.-led coalition base, said Mohammed Hasan, a police commander in the city in volatile eastern Kunar province, near the Pakistani border.

At least 14 people were wounded, including one teacher and the school cleaner, Hasan said. The bodies of the six dead students were handed over to their parents, who came rushing to the school when they heard the blast.


"Shrapnel from the rocket slashed through the children who were studying in the yard because there aren't enough school buildings," Hasan said. "Six were killed."


Hundreds of children ages 6 to 16 were in the school at the time of the attack.

Hasan blamed Taliban insurgents for the attack and accused them of targeting the school as part of the rebels' campaign against government-sponsored education."

Radioactive material not life threatening
Soil density gauge stolen, then recovered in Chualar
~CA


A scientific instrument the size of an ice chest that contains low-grade radioactive material touched off a nuclear alert Sunday when it was found abandoned outside a neighborhood grocery store in Chualar.

The device, a soil density gauge, had been stolen from a vehicle belonging to Salinas-based Kleinfelder Inc. on Saturday, the Monterey County Sheriff's Office said. The machine is used to measure soil density and helps contractors determine whether soil will support various structures.

"Terror risks seen in amnesty bills"
By Shaun Waterman
UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL
April 11, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Five cases are cited -- three of the 1993 World Trade Center bombers; one of the men involved in the related terror plot aimed that year at New York landmarks; and Mir Aimal Kasi, the Pakistani who killed two CIA employees in a 1993 shooting outside the agency's Langley headquarters.

All five applied for amnesty under a 1986 immigration reform law, according to the September 11 commission's findings and Ms. Kephart's subsequent research.

Although only two of these applications were granted, Kasi and the two other unsuccessful aspirants used their pending applications to string out their presence in the United States long enough to carry out their terror plans."

"Rally organizer tied to Marxist party"
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 11, 2006

One of the key organizers of the immigration protests and rallies nationwide, including yesterday's in Washington, is a group whose leaders are tied to the Workers World Party, a Marxist organization that has expressed support for dictators Kim Jong-il of North Korea and Saddam Hussein of Iraq.

Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition, which also has proposed a nationwide boycott on May 1 to protest congressional efforts at immigration reform and border security, is an offshoot of the International Action Coalition, an anti-capitalism group founded by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark.

In a press release celebrating a March 25 rally in Los Angeles against immigration-law enforcement that drew an estimated 500,000 people, ANSWER said it helped organize "a major contingent in the march" and provided logistical support. The march was co-chaired by Juan Jose Gutierrez, director of Latino Movement USA, who also is a member of ANSWER's Los Angeles steering committee."

"Canadian resolve weak: Taliban official"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In a weekend interview with The Canadian Press, insurgent spokesman Qari Yuosaf Ahmedi said the Taliban are convinced the resolve of the Canadian people is weak.

As suicide attacks and roadside blasts increase, the public will quickly grow weary, he said.

“We think that when we kill enough Canadians they will quit war and return home,” Mr. Ahmedi said in an interview, conducted through a translator, over a satellite telephone."

ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "In addition to his fire-breathing rhetoric, the Taliban's public relations spokesman claimed that the insurgency had recruited 180 suicide bombers for operations in and around Kandahar over the next few weeks.

He said they are prepared to attack Canadians “any one else, at any place and at any time.”"
