Residents Warned of Sexual Predator in Northwest D.C.
WJLA ^ | June 27, 2008 | unk.
Posted on June 27, 2008 9:30:03 PM PDT by FoxInSocks
District police are warning people in the Grover Park and Cleveland Park neighborhoods to make sure their doors and windows at night after investigators linked three sexual assaults in the past two months.
Police say women were attacked May 16, May 25 and June 26 in Northwest. Investigators say in each incident, a woman was awakened early in the morning by a man who got into their homes by unknown methods.
The first incident happened in the 2400 block of Huidekoper Place, the second in the 3000 block of Newark Street and the third happened in the 2400 block of Tunlaw Road.
“That’s really scary,” said Glover Park resident D’Arcy Klingle. “That makes me feel a little less comfortable, a lot less comfortable.”
The man has sexually assaulted or tried to sexually assault the women. He is described as a white or Hispanic man, 5’10” - 6’ in height with a medium build, wearing dark pants and a collared shirt.
“We all really feel that we are in a safe section of town. There’s a good neighborhood feeling here. To hear that this is happening on my own block is really shocking to me,” District resident Maggie Simpson said.
Police have not yet figured out how the suspect is gaining entry into the targeted homes.
Anyone with information is asked to call police at 1-888-919-CRIME.

Four black teens were arrested on hate crime charges Friday, after police say they threw rocks at a bus full of Jewish toddlers.
Police say the teens hurled racial slurs and broke windows on the school bus last month in Crown Heights.
The three girls and one boy are all 14 years old.
No one on the bus was hurt.
The case is the latest in a string of incidents between black and Jewish residents in Crown Heights.

“ICANN and IANA’s Domain Names Hijacked by the NetDevilz Hacking Group”
by Dancho Danchez
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The official domains of ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, and IANA, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority were hijacked earlier today, by the NetDevilz Turkish hacking group which also hijacked Photobucket’s domain on the 18th of June. Zone-H mirrored the defacements, some of which still remain active for the time being.
Read more here - “ICANN and IANA’s domains hijacked by Turkish hacking group”. A single email appears to have been used in the updated DNS records of all domains, logically courtesy of the NetDevilz team - foricann1230@gmail.com
More details will be posted as soon as they emerge.
UPDATE:
The ICANN has restored access to its domains, and as in every other DNS hijacking the correct records will be updated on a mass scale in 24/48 hours.”

“Backdoor trojan exploits hole in Mac OS X”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A tool to exploit a known security hole in OS X has been developed and shared in a Mac hacker forum. The “Applescript Trojan horse template” employs the root exploit that became public last week. The exploit allows attackers to get administrator rights and use them to set up hidden backdoor and spy functions.
Available functions include keylogging, the creation of screenshots and images with an installed camera, and a web front-end for remote maintenance. A VNC server provides remote access to the entire desktop. Once infected, computers can be found again and again via dynamic DNS entries once they connect to the Internet.”

“Backdoording Cyber Jihadist Ebooks for Surveillance Purposes”
by Dancho Danchev
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “It appears that cyber jihadists are striking back at the academic and intelligence community, by binding their propaganda Ebooks with malware, then distributing them across different forums, thanks to a recently analyzed Ebook entitled “The Al-Qaeda network’s timely entrance in Palestine” distributed by the Global Islamic Media Front - hat tip to Warintel.
If it were posted by a newly joined forum member, it would have logically raises the suspicion that it’s in fact intelligence agencies spreading malware infected Ebooks around cyber jihadist forums, but it’s since this one in particular is being distributed by what looks like a hardcore cyber jihadist, it brings the discussion to a whole new level.”

MATT APUZZO
Originally published 10:43 p.m., June 27, 2008, updated 10:41 p.m., June 27, 2008
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A former Army scientist who was named as a person of interest in the 2001 anthrax attacks will receive $5.8 million to settle his lawsuit against the Justice Department. Steven Hatfill claimed the Justice Department violated his privacy rights by speaking with reporters about the case.
Settlement documents were filed in federal court Friday. Both sides have agreed to the deal, according to the documents, and as soon as they are signed, the case will be dismissed.
The deal requires the Justice Department to pay $2.825 million up front and buy Hatfill a $3 million annuity that will pay him $150,000 each year for 20 years.”

“The Canadian Human Rights Commission dismisses the complaint against Maclean’s”
“The official word from the CHRC and the magazine’s response”
Macleans.ca staff | Jun 27, 2008 | 12:09 pm EST
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Maclean’s magazine is pleased that the Canadian Human Rights Commission has dismissed the complaint brought against it by the Canadian Islamic Congress. The decision is in keeping with our long-standing position that the article in question, “The Future Belongs to Islam,” an excerpt from Mark Steyn’s best-selling book America Alone, was a worthy piece of commentary on important geopolitical issues, entirely within the bounds of normal journalistic practice.
Though gratified by the decision, Maclean’s continues to assert that no human rights commission, whether at the federal or provincial level, has the mandate or the expertise to monitor, inquire into, or assess the editorial decisions of the nation’s media.”

Kayhan: Attack On Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Won’t Stop Nuclear Program – And Could Change It
The Iranian daily Kayhan, which is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated that an attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities won’t eliminate Iran’s nuclear program because the program can easily be reconstructed within a short time.
The paper added that perhaps the reconstructed program will not be like the current program, which was declared to be civilian by IAEA director Mohamed ElBaradei.

“Missing terror suspect identified”
“Zeeshan Siddiqui: Known as AD under control order”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A UK terror suspect under a control order who absconded can be named as Zeeshan Siddiqui, a court has ruled.
The BBC won a battle to name the former London Underground worker of Hounslow, west London, who trained with a London suicide bomber in Pakistan.
The 26-year-old was subject to a UK control order in 2006, meaning he could only be identified as AD.
He was one of the first men to abscond from an order, jumping from a window at a mental health unit in September 2006.
Mr Siddiqui was named in court evidence as a member of a British network of men including bomb plotters.”
###
ANSWER: According to the article above (from the Telegraph article, link #1); he is still missing.
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Zeeshan Siddiqui, a former London Underground worker linked to the leader of the July 7 bomb plot, has been missing since September last year.
He disappeared after leaping from the window of West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth, west London, where he had been sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Raised in Hounslow, west London, he once said he planned to run away to join the mujahideen [holy warriors] in Lebanon. He was also said to have been a friend of British suicide bomber Asif Hanif, who blew himself up in Israel in 2003.”

Are we under terrorist attack?
(1)Tomatoes may not be root of salmonella outbreak
Health officials say no samples of the produce have tested positive for the bacteria but it remains the top suspect.
By Tiffany Hsu, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
June 28, 2008
As the number of cases in an ongoing salmonella outbreak climbed past 800 Friday, federal health officials said that they might never find the cause — and that tomatoes might not be the culprit after all.
The news was greeted with resignation and a degree of anger from shoppers and growers who have seen millions of tomatoes taken off grocery shelves in the last month.
http://www.latimes.com/features/health/la-fi-tomatoes28-2008jun28,0,3938069.story
So, I got to thinking, in this day & age we have the technology to track anything. What is the problem tracking these tomatoes?
Then I look at the map of Salmonella SaintPaul outbreaks, this version of salmonella is quite rare.
http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/saintpaul/map.html
Then I looked at the map of terrorist cells in the US.
http://standeyo.com/News_Files/NBC/Terrorist_cells.html
Is it a coincidence that the maps are quite similar?
If this interests anybody, that can post the maps please do.

OSLO, June 18 (Reuters) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Jensen, 39, said the government was reluctant to discuss the threats of radical Islam in Norway and said the country was sending out the wrong message when dealing with terror suspects.
She mentioned Mullah Krekar, an Iraqi Kurd who was ordered by Norway’s Supreme Court to be expelled for posing a security risk, but has remained in Oslo because Norway cannot send anyone to a country where he could face the death penalty.
“He’s living in an apartment in the middle of Oslo and can move around more or less as he wants — this is madness,” she said. “What kind of a signal is that for the rest of the world?””
