Saudi Men Mistakenly Board Fla. School Bus
May 23rd - 11:59am
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Two Saudi men who boarded a school bus full of students were released from jail Tuesday after federal officials determined they do not pose a security threat.
Through an interpreter, Mana Saleh Almanajam, 23, and Shaker Mohsen Alsidran, 20, told investigators they got on the bus Friday morning because they wanted to visit a high school and didn't know it was just for students.
At the time, the men gave conflicting reasons why they boarded the bus. But detectives later determined they meant no harm, and immigration agents found that they were here legally."
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "They were charged with misdemeanor trespassing and jailed after a judge said she wanted more background information on them. They were released Tuesday on their promise to return to court later."
And aren't we so sure they'll return?
No comment on this one.

IRAN: Cabinet closes paper over cartoon (Iranian regime afraid of Iranian Azeris, 25% of population)
AKI ^ | 2006 May 23
Posted on 05/24/2006 12:35:43 AM PDT by Wiz
Tehran, 23 May (AKI) - The Iranian cabinet closed a state-owned newspaper on Tuesday after a cartoon it published sparked major protests by Iran's Azeri community. The cartoon published in Friday's edition of "Iran" newspaper represented a boy speaking to a cockroach in Persian while the cockroach replied "What?" in the Azeri language, widely spoken in north-west Iran. Police had to use tear gas against thousands of angry Azeris in the northwestern city of Tabriz who were protesting against the cartoons.
Other demonstrations were reported in Urmia, Ardebil, Mianeh and Zanja, all in Iranian Azerbaijan, the local media said on Tuesday.
Though it is fairly common for reformist papers to be closed- some 200 papers have been shut down in the past few years - a state-owned paper had never been banned by the government before. Iran is owned by Iranian state agency IRNA.

"In need of moral clarity"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "I was aiming to follow in the footsteps of one of my role-models, Muhammad Atta."--Mohammad Taheri-azar
Do you remember Taheri-azar? The 25-year-old Iranian graduate of the University of North Carolina rented an SUV in March and drove it into The Pit, a campus gathering place for UNC students. He accelerated into the standard college crowd of preachers, smokers, gawkers, and cause-hawkers. He hit nine people and injured six. None died, much to Taheri-azar’s chagrin."

Border used to smuggle WMDs inside America, says source Posted: May 24, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern
Al-Qaida has smuggled tactical nuclear weapons and uranium into the U.S. across the Mexican border and is planning to launch a major terrorist attack using a combination of nukes and dirty nukes, according to an interview with Osama bin Laden's biographer, Hamid Mir, in WorldThreats.com.
The information confirms reports previously published in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin and in a new book by Paul L. Williams, "Dunces of Doomsday."
"I came up with this conclusion after eight years of investigation and research in the remote mountain areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan. I traveled to Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Syria, Uzbekistan and Russia and met dozens of people," Mir said. "I interviewed not only al-Qaida operatives but met scientists and top U.S. officials also. I will have the details in my coming book. At least two al-Qaida operatives claimed that the organization smuggled suitcase nukes inside America. But I have no details on who did it. But I do have details about who smuggled uranium inside America and how."
Mir claims his information is based not only on what al-Qaida operatives, including bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, told him, but also upon his own independent research as a journalist. Mir says his upcoming book, a biography of bin Laden, will disclose al-Qaida's nuclear attack.
"As far as I know, they smuggled three suitcase nukes from Russia to Europe," Mir says about al-Qaida. "They smuggled many kilos of enriched uranium inside America for their dirty bomb projects. They said in 1999 that they must have material for more than six dirty bombs in America. They tested at least one dirty bomb in the Kunar province of Afghanistan in 2000. They have planned an attack bigger than 9-11, even before 9-11 happened. Osama bin Laden trained 42 fighters to destroy the American economy and military might. Nineteen were used on 9-11, 23 are still 'sleeping' inside America waiting for a wake-up call from bin Laden."
Mir said al-Qaida operatives told him that tactical nuclear weapons were smuggled over the Mexican border before Sept. 11, 2001.
Mir said again he believes al-Qaida may use its nuclear arsenal after the U.S. attacks Iran in an effort to stop its nuclear weapons program.
"This is my opinion," he says. "No al-Qaida leader has ever admitted that they are working with Iran. I also think that, maybe, the Iranians will organize some attacks inside America and you will accuse al-Qaida."
Asked why al-Qaida hasn't used nuclear weapons it already possesses, Mir said: "They are waiting for the proper time. They want the U.S. to be involved in a mass killing of Muslims, so that they will have some justification. That is what I was told by a top al-Qaida leader in the Kunar Mountains of Afghanistan."
Mir made similar comments in an earlier interview with G2 Bulletin.
Hamid Mir's credibility skyrocketed when he accurately predicted in G2 Bulletin last month the imminent release of a new recorded communiqué from bin Laden through al-Jazeera, the Arabic TV network. Two days later, bin Laden's tape was the focus of international news coverage.
"If you think that my information and analysis about bin Laden's location is correct," said Mir, "then please don't underestimate my analysis about his nuclear threat also."
What the heck is going on with all these cases?

It IS unusual, IMO... that there's no name released yet.
