ARTICLE SNIPPET: "WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Sunday it was urging stepped-up vigilance for possible spillover from mounting Middle East violence.

"We urge vigilance during this heightened state of tension in the Middle East," although there was no specific or credible information suggesting an imminent threat to the United States, the department said in a joint assessment with the FBI.

The assessment went to federal, state and local authorities late Friday as well as to private sector leaders, department spokeswoman Michelle Petrovich said."

"Videos of hate flout curbs on Islamists"
Steven Swinford

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A DISCIPLE of one of Britain’s most notorious preachers of hate has embarked on a series of video broadcasts, praising Osama Bin Laden and calling for all “sinners” to be killed.
Abu Muwahhid, a London-based cleric, mocks the victims of September 11 and calls for the foundation of a Muslim state in Britain with a “black flag” over 10 Downing Street.

He is a member of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah (ASWJ), a splinter of Al-Muhajiroun, formerly led by Omar Bakri, who fled to Lebanon a year ago.

Muwahhid is the latest in a string of radicals to emerge in defiance of Tony Blair’s announcement last year that he would clamp down on so-called “preachers of hate”. A new list of proscribed radical groups is to be published this week."
