Jennings of Atlanta, Ga., head of a U.S. academic delegation to Baghdad and former history professor at Illinois University, speaks to parents of sick children at Saddam Children's Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq, on Monday, Jan. 13, 2003. 35 U.S. academics arrived in Baghdad Monday on a peace and fact-finding mission and also to open channels of dialogue with their Iraqi counterparts at Baghdad University.

SAAG.org - SOUTH ASIA ANALYSIS GROUP Paper No.580: "RICIN IN UK: WHAT IT MEANS?" by B. Raman (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "7. Reports emanating from Afghanistan and Pakistan indicate that the attention of the bin Laden-inspired terrorist elements all over the world is now focused on retaliating against the West in general and the USA, the UK and Israel in particular, for any military action that they might undertake against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Such retaliatory action is likely to include not only attacks on individuals or large groups similar to what one saw in Bali in October last year, but also on economic targets. Recent statements attributed to bin Laden or his Al Qaeda frequently refer to the economic aspect of their jihad against the so-called crusaders and the Jewish people. 8. The tightening of physical security, at the points of entry and exit, in the USA and other countries of the West has lessened the chances of infiltration of the pro-bin Laden dregs from Afghanistan and Pakistan into those countries. But, the physical security agencies of these countries have, unfortunately, not been equally effective in unearthing the sleeper agents of the various components of the IIF, who had already taken up position in their midst pre-9/11. These agents, many of them having been associated with bin Laden and his ilk in the past, would have the capability to keep the blood flowing and to damage the economy. The compulsory registration requirement now being imposed by the US Immigration on the residents in its territory from certain countries such as Afghanistan and Pakistan, is a welcome first step in their efforts to get a measure of these sleeper agents.")

There will be NO place on this entire earth safe for Americans, Jews, British, Australian or anyone else who wages war on Muslims."

The complaint alleges that Sarsour structured $25,000 in financial transactions on October 22, 1998, the day he departed for Israel, to avoid federal reporting requirements requiring that cash transactions in excess of $10,000 be reported. Sarsour was deported to the U.S. upon his recent release from prison in Israel where he had been in custody since his arrest when he arrived Tel Aviv from Milwaukee on October 23, 1998.
