The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) reports that recently, there has been a series of armed thefts of dangerous explosives from storage sites in Mexico many of these robberies occurred just across the border along the southwest U.S. Mexican border. The (ATF) is reminding all Federal explosives licensees and permittees of the importance of security at their explosives storage sites, and are advising all industry members to take heightened security precautions in light of these thefts. The ATF says "this advisory is a precaution and not due to any criminal intelligence."
Law enforcement on both sides of the border have been notified and alerted to the thefts. The ATF along with licensees and permittees connected to the explosives industry are to protect the public and as part of this ongoing effort, industry members are being commended by the ATF for their voluntary reporting of explosives thefts that occurred in Mexico to the U.S. Bomb Data Center.

Pakistan ISI top boss met Osama aide
3/1/2009
In a development that reaffirms Pakistan’s duplicity and its links to the top terrorist organisations in the region, TIMES NOW has learnt that one of the top bosses of Pakistan’s intelligence agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) has held talks with Osama bin Laden’s key aides in Miram Shah in Pakistan’s restive Federal Administered Tribal Area.
In fact, highly placed intelligence sources have told TIMES NOW that around the time when Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi was visiting Washington and meeting officials of the Barack Obama administration and reaffirming Pakistan's determination to fight terrorism, a senior ISI official of the rank of a major-general no less was meeting Sirajuddin Haqqani considered an ally of the Taliban as also al-Qaeda Chief Laden.

thanks Oorang. As unstable as things are on the mexican side of the border, “losing” explosives is not going to help matters.
FREDERICK, Md. - Frederick police say four tons of fertilizer have been stolen from a farm supply store. The fertilizer disappeared from the Southern States store in the 500 block of East South Street in Frederick some time Saturday night or early Sunday. A store representative told police that 2,000 pounds of urea and 6,000 pounds of other fertilizer are missing. The fertilizer was in white 50-pound bags with a company logo.
Lt. Clark Pennington says they don't know what the motive behind the theft is, but they have notified the Maryland Coordination Analysis Center, which alerts all federal agencies of the theft.

Vaccines as Biological Weapons? Live Avian Flu Virus Placed in Baxter Vaccines Sent to 18 Countries
NewsTarget 23:21 3-Mar-09
NaturalNews) There’s a popular medical thriller novel in which a global pandemic is intentionally set off by an evil plot designed to reduce the human population. In the book, a nefarious drug company inserts live avian flu viruses into vaccine materials that are distributed to countries around the world to be injected into patients as “flu shots.” Those patients then become carriers for these highly-virulent strains of avian flu which go on to infect the world population and cause widespread death.
There’s only one problem with this story: It’s not fiction. Or, at least, the part about live avian flu viruses being inserted into vaccine materials isn’t fiction. It’s happening right now.
Deerfield, Illinois-based pharmaceutical company Baxter International Inc. has just been caught shipping live avian flu viruses mixed with vaccine material to medical distributors in 18 countries. The “mistake” (if you can call it that, see below...) was discovered by the National Microbiology Laboratory in Canada.
The World Health Organization was alerted and panic spread throughout the vaccine community as health experts asked the obvious question: How could this have happened?
As published on LifeGen.de (http://www.lifegen.de/newsip/showne...), serious questions like this are being raised:
“Baxter International Inc. in Austria ‘unintentionally contaminated samples with the bird flu virus that were used in laboratories in 3 neighbouring countries, raising concern about the potential spread of the deadly disease’. Austria, Germany, Slowenia and the Czech Republic - these are the countries in which labs were hit with dangerous viruses.
“Not by bioterrorist commandos, but by Baxter. In other words: One of the major global pharmaceutical players seems to have lost control over a virus which is considered by many virologists to be one of the components leading some day to a new pandemic.”
Or, put another way, Baxter is acting a whole lot like a biological terrorism organization these days, sending deadly viral samples around the world. If you mail an envelope full of anthrax to your Senator, you get arrested as a terrorist. So why is Baxter — which mailed samples of a far more deadly viral strain to labs around the world — getting away with saying, essentially, “Oops?”
But there’s a bigger question in all this: How could this company have accidentally mixed LIVE avian flu viruses (both H5N1 and H3N2, the human form) in this vaccine material?
Was the viral contamination intentional?
The shocking answer is that this couldn’t have been an accident.
Why? Because Baxter International adheres to something called BSL3 (Biosafety Level 3) - a set of laboratory safety protocols that prevent the cross-contamination of materials.
As explained on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biosaf...):
“Laboratory personnel have specific training in handling pathogenic and potentially lethal agents, and are supervised by competent scientists who are experienced in working with these agents. This is considered a neutral or warm zone. All procedures involving the manipulation of infectious materials are conducted within biological safety cabinets or other physical containment devices, or by personnel wearing appropriate personal protective clothing and equipment. The laboratory has special engineering and design features.”

Well, that’s certainly a “pucker-inducing” report.

Obama DOJ Defies Federal Judge ( Lawyers Refuse to Release Document in Wiretapping Case)
************************EXCERPT INTRO**************************
Then last Friday, in a case that’s gotten far less attention, Al Haramain Islamic Foundation v. Obama, the Department of Justice filed an emergency motion in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to assert that, similarly, the Bush administration’s domestic warrantless wiretapping program is a state secret, and that to allow its victims access to information that would let them sue the government would endanger national security. Today, the appeals court denied the government’s emergency request to block release of the documents.
The case involves the Al Haramain Islamic Foundation, a Saudi Arabian charity that had an office in Ashland, Oregon until the the Treasury Department in 2004 decided it was funneling money to terrorists and shut it down.
WOW - that’s frightening!!!

MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. —
Relatives of five Muslim immigrants convicted of plotting to massacre U.S. soldiers last year are still professing the men’s innocence.
Since their conviction, more than a half-dozen family members have sent letters to U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler asking for the verdicts to be overturned. The letters are the latest in a case where participants have come to see the judge as a pen pal: all five of the convicts have written Kugler at least once since they were arrested nearly two years ago....
