This picture above published along with the below article illustrates the intentions of the author of the article endorsing annihilation of the United States.
An Israeli security source stressed that "Al-Qaeda" persists in attempting to re-establish its terror infrastructure and is also striving to acquire unconventional weapons. Recently, they have set up covert cells in areas under Palestinian Authority control for the purpose of carrying out terror attacks. The increasing threat against the free world inherent in Al-Qaeda may be seen in the extreme anti-western line taken by that organization, in which all citizens of democratic counties are defined as "combatants", thus conferring religious legitimacy to the indiscriminate killing of civilians. An article published recently on one of the Internet sites identified with Al-Qaeda, endorsing annihilation of the United States and its allies through use of nuclear and biological weapons, conveys, according to the security source, the urgent need for cooperation in the fight against international terror.
The following is a translation of the article that endorses "annihilation of the United States" with nuclear and biological weapons:
Nuclear Warfare is the Solution for Destroying America
In the name of Allah the most merciful.
Thus, you are not mistaken in reading this text. This is the only way to kill the greatest possible number of Americans. The Americans have never experienced a threat like this one. During World War II, America used this [nuclear] weapon twice in three days following the successful Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Today, the United States uses the most powerful and advanced weapons of destruction against peaceful citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan, and it proudly supports the war that Russia is waging against Chechniya, not out of affection for Russia, but rather from its hatred of Moslems.
America has bombed Iraq with weaponry that will pollute the soil and underground water with radiation for thousands of years. It also enhances its bombs with spent uranium to cause even greater harm to the people and the environment. This, so that no one should think that after they leave the island of [the Prophet] Mohammed [the Arabian Peninsula], which they have transformed into a restricted area, just to return to the same place [because of the pollution perpetrated by them]. It seems, in fact, that the wild beasts in the White House have forgotten or have tried to forget one very important thing, which is, in all pride - the Al-Qaeda organization. This organization, which strikes fear in the hearts of the infidel West, turns youth into people who have nothing in this world but their devotion to Allah and to His Prophet Mohammed, and who are the tormentors of the sons of whores [i.e. - the West], and who are shining examples of estrangement from the sins of this world . . . and of selling their souls to Allah .
. . Therefore, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Even though the Americans have bombs possessing enormous power, Al-Qaeda is even more powerful than they, and it has in its possession bombs which are called "dirty bombs", and bombs with deadly viruses, which will spread fatal diseases throughout American cities . . . The coming days will prove that Kaedat el-Jihad [the Al-Qaeda organization] is capable of turning America into a sea of deadly radiation, and this will prove to the world that the end is at hand . . . Yes, we will destroy America and its allies, because they have used their power for evil against the weak. And now, the end approaches at the hand of the enlightened [Islamic] youth astride their horses [fighting the war against the infidels]; they will dismount either as victors or vanquished [i.e. - fall in holy war for Allah] . . .

Controversy, however, is something with which Paris willingly flirts; and he can expect more of it when his new album, Sonic Jihad, is released early this year.

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.")

Wrong-O.
Depleted uranium is uranium that's been depleted of its radioactive properties, thus the name depleted uranium.
Depleted uranium possesses physical properties that make it useful in kinetic energy weapons (I.E. BULLETS) for anti-armor weapons.

Their English wasn't very good, and I figured out they were mostly from Egypt. Some of it seemed to be written in a code. I don't know how I ended up with them as I e-mail with friends and family members. I knew I may have gotten a virus if I clicked on them (I didn't), but I wanted to know what on earth that was all about. I thought of calling the FBI, but then I realized that maybe this is something normal that goes on in the middle east. I deleted them, but did save one very ominous one.
Reading those e-mails though gave me a first-hand look into how very much they really do hate us.
