Petraeus: Al Qaida Trying to 'Come Back In'

U.S. military officials said there will be no significant reduction in coalition troops in the Baghdad area as part of an effort to stop the Al Qaida offensive in northern Iraq.

They said Al Qaida was trying to reenter Baghdad and reverse its losses in 2007.

"Al Qaida is trying to come back in," U.S. military commander Gen. David Petraeus said. "We can feel it and see it, and what we're trying to do is rip out any roots before they can get deeply into the ground." Read More

Israel on High Alert As Mourning Period for Hizballah Terrorist Ends
Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) -Israeli security services are raising their alert level and the army will close off the West Bank ahead of the Jewish holiday of Purim, which beings on Thursday. The holiday also coincides with the end of the 40-day mourning period for assassinated Hizballah terrorist Imad Mughniyeh.

http://www.cnsnews.com/ThisHour.asp#Israel%20on%20High%20Alert%20As%20Mourning%20Period%20for%20Hizballah%20Terrorist%20Ends

This is a potentially dangerous convergence - end of morning period and the start of a Jewish holy period.

This came direct to you? Interesting. Not knowing how well the sender is connected to jihad, the content and the address are disturbing. Unfortunately, very short for the whole context. Worth monitoring. Any other specifics?

And let’s say the students are required to fast during Lent, and attend Bible studies right after school. All with your tax dollars.

Inconceivable? Sure. If such a place existed, the ACLU lawyers would descend on it like locusts.”

REWARDS FOR JUSTICE

SEEKING INFORMATION AGAINST INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM

Wanted
Noordin Mohammad Top

Date of birth: August 11, 1968
Place of birth: Johor, Malaysia
Sex: Male
Nationality: Malaysian
Aliases: Noordin Muh Top, Noordin Mat Top, Noordin Din Moch Top

Noordin Mohammad Top is one of the most dangerous members of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) that is still at large. Noordin is believed to be the top recruiter and strategist and also an important fundraiser for JI.

Noordin has been one of the top targets of regional security forces, but he has repeatedly escaped their grasp. A Malaysian national, he along with his compatriot, the late Dr. Azahari bin Husin, were the masterminds behind many of the suicide attacks to hit Indonesia, including the Bali bombings in October of 2005 injuring several Americans. Some of the other attacks that he is suspected of having orchestrated are the October 12, 2002 attack in the resort town of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali which killed 202 people and injured a further 209, the 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing which occurred on August 5, 2003 in Jakarta, Indonesia, and the bombing of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta which took place on September 9, 2004 in Jakarta, Indonesia, killing several people and wounding over 140 others.

Noordin has been the leading proponent of targeting Western interests in Indonesia. In addition to the two Bali and two Jakarta attacks, Noordin has ordered his operatives to conduct reconnaissance on a large foreign-owned power plant southeast of Surabaya. In January 2006, he announced the formation of a new organization, Tanzim Qaedat al-Jihad, although it is still unclear whether this is a distinctly independent organization from JI.

Noordin has been designated by the U.S. Treasury Department and the UN Security Council as a terrorist financier. He remains one of the most important JI figures at large. He is a charismatic leader and a recruiter, who has proven to be innovative and single-minded in his desire to implement the al-Qa’ida line and target Western interests.

Chaos, confusion, distrust, a muddled mass of mixed messages — what’s going on the jihadi’s dark mind? Wellllllll now, that could be a really deep subject.

Maybe.
Maybe not.

Hmmm....
