What a mess, the person in a coma has been in that coma since
admitted to the hospital on Feb. 14. A family member came
back to clean out the hotel and found the ricin.
RUMINT ALERT
Again, more rumor that a high value terror leader may have been the focus on the Pakistan strike. RUMINT from Bill Roggio cites one report indicates an “al Qaeda fugitive from Egypt” was among those killed, sparking rumors that Ayman al Zawahiri was the target of the strike.

Thanks for the post. It is scary how easy it is to make or get this stuff.
Great news!
And a ping for K.
I wouldn't break out the bubblie yet, these cockroaches have been hard to get, but I'll take the good news, potential that both Adam and Al-Z bit the big one.

“Man Critical After Ricin Find in Vegas”
By KEN RITTER – 28 minutes ago
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “LAS VEGAS (AP) — Vials found in the motel room of a man hospitalized in critical condition tested positive for the deadly toxin ricin, authorities said Friday.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”During our investigation we did find that there was a subject who had been a previous occupant of that hotel room who is currently hospitalized in critical condition here locally as a possible result of exposure to ricin,” Suey said.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Two preliminary tests, one by police and one by the Nevada National Guard, concluded that the substance was ricin. A third test from a local lab confirmed the results, Suey said.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Suey would not say how many vials were found or how much ricin they contained. Officials said the vials were in a plastic bag, and castor beans also were found in the room.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Suey said there were several pets in the room when officers arrived. A dog was found dead but the animal had gone at least a week without food or water, Suey said, and she did not attribute the death to ricin.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Police declined to identify the man, other than to say he was middle-aged.”
I’m waiting for confirmation.
I haven’t seen any martyr videos, speeches or anything to indicate dead on those sites of interest as of yesterday.
If he is dead, it should be noted the jihad propaganda chugs on (with or without him).
He probably is dead and/or missing, in my opinion, too; but proof will be the confirmation.
Correct. However, both Adam and Al-Z have been putting a lot of face/voice time out lately, so a prolonged disappearance MAY indicate they got it (but OBL showed up after a prolonged absence too). Yep, ear to the jihad nets.
I agree.

“In al-Qaeda’s sights”
The Ottawa Citizen
Published: Saturday, February 23, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Canadian connections to islamist terror groups Ansar Al-Islam (Supporters of Islam)
The radical Sunni Islamist, para-military terrorist group is composed of Iraqi Kurds, Arabs and others. The group surfaced just before September 2001 as a result of a merger of several Kurdish Sunni groups, and follows the same extremist interpretation of Islam as does al-Qaeda, to which it is closely affiliated.
Its leader, Najmuddin Faraj Ahmad, better known as Mullah Krekar, once proclaimed to a Kurdish newspaper that “as far as Islam is concerned, democracy from beginning to end is heresy.”
Ansar is blamed for three attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and has had at least three Canadian members, all from the Toronto area.”

“Islamic extremists pose rising challenge to Norway, police intelligence agency says”
The Associated PressPublished: February 19, 2008
OSLO, Norway
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The agency said the most common contribution to possible terrorism by people in Norway is likely to remain funding of extremists abroad.
However, it said experience from other European countries suggests that an increasing number of Muslims in Norway could adopt extremist views, “in the worst case supporting or participating in terror acts in Norway.”
Iraqi Kurd Mullah Krekar, who founded the al-Qaida-linked extremist group Ansar al-Islam, is a refugee in Norway, but was declared a threat to national security in 2005 and ordered deported. He has not yet been expelled.”

Sorry.
I understand.

Troops in Iraq Kill Five, Detain 23, Seize Weapons
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 2008 – Coalition and Iraqi forces killed five suspected terrorists, captured 23 others and uncovered scores of weapons in Iraq over the past three days, military officials said.
In Iraq today:
— Coalition forces east of Khan Bani Sad captured nine suspected terrorists, including an alleged al Qaeda in Iraq associate with ties to a member of an improvised-explosive-device and suicide-bombing network in Baqouba. Acting in self-defense, troops engaged enemies on site, killing five suspected terrorists. Military officials said an Iraqi child was wounded in the operation.
— With coalition assistance, Iraqi forces entered a Baghdad mosque, where they detained two suspected terrorists, including an alleged al Qaeda in Iraq weapons facilitator, and seized a cache of potential bomb-making materials. To respect cultural sensitivities, coalition troops did not enter the Muslim holy site, military officials said.
— Coalition forces conducted a series of raids targeting foreign terrorists and an associate of senior-level terrorist smugglers in northern Iraq. Troops detained four suspected terrorists southeast of Mosul near Salamiyah and two others northwest of Biaj, military officials said.
— Troops nabbed four suspects, including an alleged terrorist associate, during a raid southeast of Samarra. Reports indicate the primary suspect is associated with the leader of the al Qaeda in Iraq network in Jalam who was detained this month for his involvement in kidnappings and terrorist financing.
North of Samarra yesterday, coalition troops detained one suspected terrorist allegedly associated with IED attacks and providing aid to foreign terrorists.
In the Iraqi capital Feb. 27, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers captured a suspected Iranian-supported special groups network senior leader. After learning the suspect was in Baghdad’s Beida neighborhood, 82nd Airborne Division paratroopers with the 2nd Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, located and detained him. Military officials said the suspect has played a key role in weapons smuggling through Baghdad and has been involved in kidnapping, torturing and killing Iraqi citizens.
“The network is cornered in Sadr City, and every member of the criminal group who sets foot outside is being captured rapidly,” said Army Maj. Trey Rutherford, executive officer for the unit. “Even more importantly, the special groups element is being recognized by locals for what it is — a criminal force focused on instilling fear, for monetary profit, in the people they claim to protect.”
Northwest of the Iraqi capital Feb. 27, Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers, Iraqi security forces and local Iraqis discovered caches of weapons and ammunition.
Soldiers from the 25th Infantry Division’s 2nd Squadron, 14th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, discovered a 68 mm mortar round, a French-made rocket and a 68 mm mortar tube during a morning combat patrol.
During a joint combat patrol later that day, Iraqi soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 9th Iraqi Army Division, with soldiers from 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, discovered three 82 mm mortar rounds, three 155 mm artillery rounds and four mortar tubes.
Meanwhile, a local resident arrived at a joint security station and turned in a rocket-propelled grenade, a separate grenade and two IEDs. In separate operations, troops with Iraqi citizens’ assistance, seized scores of munitions.
