Iraqi, U.S. Forces Detain Insurgents, Other Suspects
American Forces Press Service
CAMP AL ASAD, Iraq, Sep. 5, 2006 – Iraqi police and soldiers, along with U.S. Marines and soldiers from Regimental Combat Team 7, detained 30 confirmed insurgents and 38 suspected insurgents over the weekend throughout the Anbar province in western Iraq.
Iraqi police identified and detained 18 of the 38 captured suspected insurgents in Rawah, Iraq -- a city of about 20,000 along the Euphrates River, about 50 miles east of the Iraqi-Syrian border.
One of the suspects captured by Rawah police officers is wanted for suspected involvement with a vehicle suicide bombing against a U.S. military checkpoint in the region July 29. Several more captured in Rawah are suspected of involvement with a recent attack on a Rawah police officer’s family. Police officers in Rawah also discovered two improvised explosive devices there Sept. 3.
Iraqi and U.S. soldiers detained one known insurgent and 10 suspected insurgents Sept. 3 in Hit, a city of about 60,000 people about 70 miles northwest of Ramadi.
Through a variety of counterinsurgency operations Sept. 2 and 3, Iraqi police, Iraqi soldiers, and U.S. Marines captured 27 known insurgents and four suspected insurgents in the Haditha Triad, a cluster of three cities -- Haditha, Barwanah, and Haqlaniyah -- with a combined population of about 90,000. One captured insurgent was part of a four-man insurgent cell operating in Hadithah; another is suspected of having involvement with various small-arms attacks against a U.S. base in Barwanah.
U.S. Marines captured six more suspected insurgents Sept. 2 in Sadah, a town just east of the Iraqi-Syrian border, and discovered an ordnance cache near the border Sept. 2. The cache consisted of 120 mm rockets, 155 mm rockets, and 122 mm rockets.

Bible Scholars Perform 11 Different Scriptural Calculations All Of Which Point To The United Nations Being Hit By A Nuclear Terrorist Attack This Month
London, UK (PRWEB) September 3, 2006 - Bible scholars claim to have fixed the bug in their decoding that caused their earlier mistaken predictions. As a result they have so many different scriptural calculations leading to the same month for the UN bomb, that "coincidence is no longer an option" for their research team. See for yourself at
http://www.truebiblecode.com
If you do a quick back of an envelope calculation attempting to asses the probability of predicting the correct day and location of the first nuclear terrorist attack, the odds of a successful prediction are at best 1 in 40,000 according to their chief researcher - Gordon Ritchie. He says: "Let us say that the chances of such an attack ocurring anywhere in the world in the next 5 years are 50%. Then there is a 1 in 4,000 chance of getting the day right. Then let us say that the chances of this attack being against the UN in Manhattan rather than being against some other high profile target are 1 in 10. Then the chance of getting both the day and the location are 1 in 40,000."
He further computes the chances of 11 different scriptural calculations all pointing to the same month as follows... "It is hard to determine what the chances are of two scriptural calculations giving the same month and the same year. But it is easy to see what the chances are of them both giving the same month, that would be 1 in 12, since there are 12 months in the year. So the chances of 11 calculations all giving the same month are 1 in 12x12x12x12x12x12x12x12x12x12 or 1 in 61,917,364,224 or around 1 in 61 billion."
So even though a nuclear terrorist attack on the UN this month is very unlikely, it is much more likely than 10 coincidences all getting you to the same month and year as your first scriptural calculation. Incidentally they do not have any calculations suggesting a different month for this attack. Therefore they would argue that an attack has got to happen before the end of this present biblical lunar month (Elul), i.e. on or before September 26th.
Best to avoid Manhattan on the next 3 sabbaths according to those calculations.
