Musharraf declares war on Muslim extremists

President Pervez Musharraf pledged to combat Muslim extremists across Pakistan yesterday as furious crowds demonstrated against the storming of the Red Mosque and two suicide bomb attacks left six dead.
In a televised address to the nation, Gen Musharraf said that those inside the mosque and its adjacent madrassa, or Muslim college, were "terrorists" who directly threatened Pakistan's security. They had also tarnished Islam's reputation as a tolerant and peaceful religion.

Was the hummus bad?

SALMONELLA | 126 sickened, 10 in hospital as officials try to trace Taste outbreak

July 13, 2007
BY JANET RAUSA FULLER Staff Reporter/jfuller@suntimes.com
A sesame seed paste called tahini, used to make the popular Middle Eastern dip hummus, may be at the center of a salmonella outbreak linked to the Taste of Chicago, the owner of the restaurant that served the hummus said Thursday.

Max Pars, owner of the Pars Cove restaurant at 435 W. Diversey, said health officials were zeroing in on tahini, which the restaurant purchased in late June. Pars bought the tahini from Ziyad Brothers Importing, a Cicero distributor whose products are in 48 states and six countries.

Nemer Ziyad, one of the company’s owners, said they import tahini from several countries, including Guatemala, Turkey and Egypt. Ziyad said health officials had not contacted him, but he doubted there was a link between the tahini and the outbreak. (snip)

For those of you who don’t have time to click on the links, here’s all you need to know about why they hate/why they do it: “IT’S THE GLOBAL JIHAD.” -Cindy

Thanks for all the information you've provided today. I feel as though the heat is on so to speak. Not just summer, but it appears DC is scrambling suddenly.

"We have many friends,” he said. “It is very easy for us to go in and out of the tribal areas. It is no problem.”

That sentence right there has been our problem since we started this war on terror. Our PC attitude and not obliterating these areas is why they still have the ability to attack us. There never should have been a no crossing into Pakistan by our troops order IMO. We would have had bl himself and probably zawahiri as well along with all these scum who train to be terrorists.

I thought Mr bush said quote "if you harbor a terrorist, if you aid a terrorist, if you hide terrorists, you're just as guilty as the terrorists"....."Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists" etc. blah blah blah. Pakistan is the new Afghanistan training terrorists in 2000 & 2001.

Forces Kill Two Terrorists, Capture 19 in Iraq Today

American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, July 13, 2007 – Coalition forces killed two terrorists and detained 19 suspects during combat operations in central and western Iraq today.

Forces targeted al Qaeda in Iraq leaders during raids on several buildings in Tarmiyah. During the raids, coalition forces detained six suspects, including an alleged weapons facilitator in Anbar province with close ties to al-Qaeda senior leaders.

A separate raid in Tarmiyah netted two more suspects tied to the religious emir of al Qaeda in Iraq.

West of Taji, forces captured eight suspects, including one allegedly involved in coordinating suicide operations and importing weapons.

Forces raided two buildings in southwestern Baghdad and detained three more suspects.

In other Iraq operations today, coalition forces captured a high-ranking “special groups” cell leader during a pre-dawn raid in Baghdad. He is suspected of coordinating logistical support from Iran and is believed to have directed attacks against coalition forces.

In other Iraq operations this week:

—Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers, with Iraqi security force counterparts, killed nine insurgents and detained 13 more in a fire fight yesterday in the New Baghdad district of eastern Baghdad.

—Multinational Division Baghdad attack helicopter crews destroyed a homemade explosive factory and cache yesterday northwest of Baghdad.

—Elements of the 4th Iraqi Army Brigade detained the leader of a terrorist sniper cell in Bayji yesterday. He is suspected of leading attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces. Two others were detained during the operation.

—Multinational Division Baghdad troops detained 31 suspected insurgents at a suspected al Qaeda meeting in the Rashid district July 11.

—Iraqi army soldiers, with their coalition counterparts, found an improvised explosive device factory during a raid in Mosul’s al Sina’a neighborhood July 11. Forces found materials used to make improvised explosive devices including an acetylene tank, fertilizer, sugar and an industrial-grade sifter. Coalition forces detained 18 suspects.

—Coalition forces continue the hunt for insurgents responsible for firing 11 indirect fire rounds into Baghdad civilian neighborhoods July 11. Eleven 120 mm mortar rounds impacted in the Amil and Baladiat areas of eastern Baghdad. In the past week, insurgent-delivered indirect fire attacks targeted areas in the New Baghdad and Rashid security districts.

—Multinational Division Baghdad troops detained more than 100 suspects and seized more than 200 weapons caches during Operation Dragon Hammer in the Rashid district of the Iraqi capital July 1 to 11. The operation, launched by the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team “Dragons,” 1st Infantry Division, targeted suspected terrorists by interdicting their supply chains.
