"A couple of hundred jihadis online in Lebanon"
SNIPPET: "The problem with getting a handle on the jihad situation in Lebanon by way of analyzing who is accessing jihadist web sites is this: you can't tell the Lebanese Sunnis from the Palestinian Sunnis (and in Lebanon, that is an important distinction). With that in mind, here is what we know about the presence of Lebanese-based jihadis online, based on the demographic research conducted by the Society for Internet Research in 2006:

Thank you freeperfromnj for the update.
You're welcome Cindy. The War on Terror is hardly over. The Democrats would have the unformed sheeple believe otherwise.
I totally agree with you.
You are right-on-target.

Update:
Man charged after suspicious package found
January 5 2007
NORWALK - Police arrested a Stamford man last night after employees at a UPS distribution center opened a package and found explosives.
Theoeoros Papadopoulos, 27, of 44 Brown Ave., was charged last night with first-degree breach of peace, criminal impersonation and second-degree forgery. He was held on $1 million bond.
Called to the UPS facility on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive just after noon, the Stamford police Bomb Squad deployed a remote control robot and determined that two cylindrical objects inside the box were flash grenades used as training aids by the military and police, Stamford police Lt. Sean Cooney said. UPS employees said that just after 11 a.m., a man came in to claim a package but lacked proper identification, Norwalk police Sgt. Ronald Pine said. Employees, believing the man might be receiving a package of drugs, opened the package after he left and found two small cylindrical objects marked explosives, police said.
An employee took the package outside, about 100 feet from the nearby Metro-North Railroad tracks, and called police at about 11:30 a.m. Police responded and called Metro-North. Two trains traveling between South Norwalk and Rowayton stations were delayed by about 50 minutes from noon to 1 p.m. while police investigated, railroad spokesman Dan Brucker said.
Several houses on the other side of the tracks on Bouton Street within a 300-foot perimeter set up by police were evacuated, Pine said. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive remained open because it was outside the area, Pine said. The Stamford Bomb Squad, the only bomb squad in lower Fairfield County, and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives also responded. "There didn't appear to be anything of federal interest" at the scene and the investigation was handled by Norwalk police, said Andy Anderson, a spokesman for the ATF field office in New Haven.
A UPS spokesman could not be reached for comment last night. The robot, equipped with a camera, spotted the manufacturer's name and telephone number on the two objects, which were about the size of a grenade, Cooney said. The manufacturer was called and the two objects were determined to contain only a small amount of explosives.
Police cleared the area and set up surveillance of the UPS center in hopes the man would return to claim the package. Papadopoulos returned with fake identification and was taken to Norwalk police headquarters. Police declined to say where the package was sent from. Norwalk police Detective Bureau head Lt. Thomas Cummings said the case was still under investigation.
Women facing terrorism charges for white powder incident
January 5, 2007, 1:05 PM EST
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. -- Two sisters face terrorism charges after a white powder believed to be salt fell out of one of their pockets in the booking area of Bridgeport Police headquarters. A Fairfield woman and her sister, who is from Jordan, were arrested Thursday after triggering a hazardous materials emergency, police said. The building and the surrounding streets were closed most of the afternoon and into the evening. No one was injured, but 14 people _ civilian detention officers, police officers and six prisoners _ had to take showers in the Fire Department's decontamination trailer. Their clothing was also bagged.
The women, Cari Altayeb of Fairfield and Anaahn Altayeb of Jordan, were charged with acts of terrorism in connection with that incident. They also face charges of first-degree breach of peace and threatening stemming from a child custody dispute in front of the state Department of Children and Families' city office earlier in the day. The DCF incident had led to their arrest and the powder incident in the booking area. The women were being held in lieu of $1 million bond. The women's lawyer, Robert Berke, who said he had not talked to his clients, blasted police Thursday night. "They overreacted. The (terrorism) charge is extreme. The bond is extreme," Berke said.
On Thursday, the women were acting suspiciously and dropped white powder, possibly salt, outside of the DCF office, police said. After they were arrested by city police and brought to the booking area on the second floor, some of the powder fell from one of the women's pockets, Lt. James Viadero said. Police called the Fire Department. The Fairfield County Hazardous Materials Team, the FBI, state police and Scott Appleby, the city's emergency management director, responded. "We don't take anything lightly," Viadero said.
Thanks for that update Oorang.
I do appreciate it.

"Cleveland Islamic Leader Deported to West Bank"
"The former leader of the Islamic Center of Cleveland, Fawaz Damra, has finally been deported: Damra deported to West Bank. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)"
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. Authorities say a Minnesota truck driver stopped east of Sioux Falls on Interstate 90 had a journal that made references to damaging a bridge in California and sinking an aircraft carrier. The F-B-I was called to investigate.
The journal also made a reference to shutting down the Minnesota Capitol. The 40-year-old driver was detained, but he was not arrested.

Police find more explosives in Vizcaya
Friday, January 05, 2007
A metal drum containing 70 kilos of explosives has been discovered next to a parked vehicle in Atxondo, near Durango in Vizcaya. The Ertaintza (the Basque police) believe that the terrorists who used a hideout in Amorebieta which was found on 23rd December might have used the vehicle. A member of the Basque Government believes that the explosives were destined for immediate use. Furthermore, the news agency ‘La SER’ has found out that the mobile phone used to give the bomb warning in Madrid was activated on the 23rd December.
The information on the mobile telephone reinforces the theory that the car found in Atxondo was abandoned following the discovery of the terrorist's hidout in Amorebieta. It is believed that this also forced the ETA cell to change their plans and to detain a mountaineer from Oñate whose van, a Renault Traffic, was then used for the bomb in Barajas airport.

Highway Patrol, FBI Agents Investigate MN Trucker
01/05/2007
It's an investigation involving a trucker, terrorist threats and satanic symbols. And it started just east of Sioux Falls. On Saturday, a truck headed from Minnesota to California didn't stop at the port of entry at the Minnesota-South Dakota line. So, a South Dakota HIghway Patrol trooper pulled the semi over.
Inside the truck's cab, troopers say they found satanic symbols, books on satanic rituals, and personal journals with threatening references, like shutting down the Minnesota State Capital. That's when they called in the FBI.
The port of entry, about 15 miles east of Sioux Falls on Interstate 90, is where a routine traffic stop escalated into a federal investigation.
“From my understanding, there appeared to be some uncooperative actions and some vagueness in responses to the trooper's questions as well,” said Captain Kevin Joffer with the South Dakota Highway Patrol in Sioux Falls.
But Joffer says the trooper was even more concerned by what he found inside the cab of the truck. “There were some booklets containing some satanic type info,” he said. “It just led the officer to believe based on some targets he mentioned such as the Minnesota State Capitol and an air craft carrier just things the trooper felt needed to be followed up on.”
Since the trucking industry has been identified as a possible method for terrorists to attack the United States, the trooper called in two FBI agents from Sioux Falls.
“We have soldiers who are protecting out homeland in various ways, but a lot of time our law enforcement people including our troopers are in our country as the first line of defense against people transporting illegal things or engaged in illegal activity,” Joffer said.
That's why Joffer says it's important that every threat be taken seriously. “It's our job to protect the public and follow up on things that need to be looked at further. The driver was held for questioning but was never arrested,” he said.
The 40-year-old driver was cited for not keeping his log book. We called the Minnesota company he works for, and as of now, he still has a job.
Oh gee I'm so happy he still has his job, after all what's a little devil worshipping here & there and blowing up a state capitol or aircraft carrier for good measure? /sarc
This PC gar-bage in this country will eventually get many people killed.
