Hamas Threatens U.S.A.

U.S. intelligence agencies are on the lookout for terrorists from the Palestinian group Hamas to carry out attacks in the United States. The group has been blamed for numerous deadly bombings in Israel.
An intelligence report sent to Bush administration officials recently said the group, also known as the Islamic Resistance Movement, is expanding outside Israel and targeting the United States, according to intelligence officials.
"Hamas is planning operations in the U.S.," one official told us.
Hamas was formed in 1987 as part of the Muslim Brotherhood, a radical Islamic group. It is based primarily in the Gaza Strip and some areas of the West Bank.
The group has not carried out attacks outside Israel but does fund raising abroad, including in Europe and the United States. It is backed financially by Iran, Saudi Arabia and other Arab states.
A U.S. official said the intelligence report is "uncorroborated," but noted that the threat "is something to be taken seriously."

The one pilot, Michael Guess, had at one time at a flying school managed to get a CD on flying a 747 to Moussoui; the Algerian was not supposed to have access to it. Then, just before he died, supposedly he told his mother "I love you. No matter what." And then we just learned that the pilot was black. Not that that would make a difference otherwise, but possibly could now. Apparently, his getting the CD to would-be 20th hijacker was shrugged off as an error, and it could well have been. But questions need to be asked in light of all this. Did he have any connections to any Black Muslim groups? What were his associations? If there's nothing there, then we have an unusual coincidence, of which life is made. But it seems to me unusual enough to bear investigation. Also, from what I understand, this airplane was a particularly safe model. I know nothing about small airplanes, so I can't comment intelligently other than pass along what I read. There has been at least one thread devoted to this. Makes for some interesting reading.

I hope it wasn't terrorism, cause then I would have to feel bad. I'd be so conflicted

Lets add a little (A LOT) of radiation as a bonus!
Just apply it everywhere applicable except the oil wells.

I just tried putting the link into my regular browser and it did work. I'm just not familiar enough with FR's procedures to do it correctly here. I think you'll find the information there interesting. Also, Guess's father's name is Dufferian Jenkins Contreras. I just did a google search on Guess and found a Star Tribune article on him with the information that's in the FR thread and a photo.

Al Queda is in my neighborhood, how lucky is that? I hear that the FBI is snooping around large cities muslim populations inlisting spies. I wonder if they are overlooking areas like the one I live in that is full of this sub culture.
