"Philippines militant 'shot dead'"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Abu Sulaiman, also known as Jainal Antal Sali, was fatally wounded in a clash with soldiers on the southern island of Jolo, the army's chief said.
Sulaiman had a $5m bounty placed on his head by the US, in part for the 2001 abduction of a group of tourists on the island of Palawan.
The kidnapping resulted in the deaths of two Americans and several others.
Sulaiman is also believed to have been involved in the bombing of a passenger ferry in the central Philippines in 2004, which killed at least 100 people."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Abu Sayyaf is thought to have links with both al-Qaeda and the regional militant group Jemaah Islamiah, and has been blamed for a number of kidnappings and bombings in the region.
Late last month, the military said the head of the group, Khaddafy Janjalani, might have been killed in September, but this has yet to be confirmed.
Like Sulaiman, Khaddafy Janjalani - the younger brother of Abu Sayyaf founder Abdurajak Abubakar Janjalani - is also on a US wanted list."

"Jimmy Carter on Al Jazeera: Palestinian Missiles Are Not Terrorism"
(Note: See video clip in the link above.)
* Abu Sayyaf, Baathist Iraq, and Al Qaeda : Saddam Hussein's regime provided financial support to Abu Sayyaf, the al Qaeda-linked jihadist group founded by Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law in the Philippines in the late 1990s, according to documents captured in postwar Iraq. An eight-page fax dated June 6, 2001, and sent from the Iraqi ambassador in Manila to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Baghdad, provides an update on Abu Sayyaf kidnappings and indicates that the Iraqi regime was providing the group with money to purchase weapons. The Iraqi regime suspended its support--temporarily, it seems--after high-profile kidnappings, including of Americans, focused international attention on the terrorist group. ------ "Saddam's Philippines Terror Connection," by Stephen F. Hayes, Weekly Standard , 03/18/2006
Abu Sayyaf was also connected to Libya :
... [Iraqi Ambassador Salah] Samarmad's dispatch appears to be the final installment in a series of internal Iraqi regime memos from March through June 2001. (The U.S. government translated some of these documents in full and summarized others.) The memos contain a lengthy discussion among Iraqi officials--from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Iraqi Intelligence Service--about the wisdom of using a Libyan intelligence front [the Qaddafi Charity Establishment] as a way to channel Iraqi support for Abu Sayyaf without the risks of dealing directly with the group. (The Libyan regime had intervened in an Abu Sayyaf kidnapping in 2000, securing the release of several hostages by paying several million dollars in ransom. Some observers saw this as an effort by Muammar Qaddafi to improve his image; others saw it as an effort to provide support to Abu Sayyaf by paying the ransom demanded by the group. Both were probably right.)------ "Saddam's Philippines Terror Connection," by Stephen F. Hayes, Weekly Standard, 03/18/2006
An analysis of Iraqi embassy phone records by Philippine authorities showed that Hussein [second secretary of the Iraqi embassy in Manila, Hisham Hussein] had been in regular contact with Abu Sayyaf leaders both before and after the attack that killed SFC Jackson. Andrea Domingo, immigration commissioner for the Philippines, said Hussein ran an "established network" of terrorists in the country. Hussein had also met with members of the New People's Army, a Communist opposition group on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist groups, in his office at the embassy. According to a Philippine government official, the Philippine National Police uncovered documents in a New People's Army compound that indicate the Iraqi embassy had provided funding for the group. Hisham Hussein and two other Iraqi embassy employees were ordered out of the Philippines on February 14, 2003..------ "Saddam's Philippines Terror Connection," by Stephen F.

Thanks Cindy, This POS sounds like the perfect Poster Boy for the Islamofascist Serial Killers:
"A federal investigation led to the arrest of Osman on immigration and firearms violations. He was subsequently convicted of possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He also entered into a fraudulent marriage to obtain a "green card."
After serving time in federal prison on the firearms charge, Osman was later convicted of sexual abuse of a 10-year-old child and served time in the Walla Walla State Penitentiary. Following his release, he was required to register as a sex offender.
....snippet...The mistake was that GWB the senior accepted the advise of the Saudis who themselves fed the ideology and strategy of September the 11th attacks and much more and seems to be more to come and may be so soon.

Boy Sneaks Past Security, Boards Flight
LAKEWOOD, Wash. -- A 9-year-old boy from Lakewood snuck past security and talked his way onto a Southwest Airlines flight at Sea-Tac airport Monday night after running away from home.
The boy’s mother told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News the family had been planning to move back to Dallas but when they delayed the move, the boy became determined to return.
“He just made a decision and said, I'm going to get there. Well how he got there is a wonder to me,” the boys mother told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News.
According to the boy’s mother the boy had stolen three cars in the last month trying to get to Dallas.
“I didn't help him get on a plane, I didn't give him any money to get on a plane, he's only 9,” the boy’s mother said.
He flew from Sea-Tac to Phoenix where he tried to board another flight headed for Dallas, but was not allowed on the plane so instead he got on another flight bound for San Antonio where he is now being held.(snip)

Itai Polatnick
Polatnick is a student at Florida State University. According to the Alpha Chi Sigma chemistry fraternity Web site, he joined the fraternity in spring 2005.
Court records show that Polatnick was arrested in 2003 for allegedly possessing and building a bomb.
Hang 'em High!!
Osman remains in ICE custody while he appeals his removal order.
He is not a U.S. citizen and is a convicted felon as well as convicted pedophile. Kick him out now, no appeal!
Yesterday's article also said the good guys found 17 bunkers and "bomb making tools". Good news all the way around. Thanks Cindy.
Thanks Vel. I had forgotten about his blog and I appreciate the link.
