Al-Qaida sources say group behind coordinated terror killing at least 17 TEL AVIV – Today's deadly attacks in Israel killing at least 17 were meant to avenge the death of Osama bin Laden, jihadist sources within an al-Qaida group in the Gaza Strip told WND. The sources come from inside two al-Qaida-affiliated organizations, Jihadiya Salafiya and Jaish al-Islam. The sources said both groups were planning to officially take credit for the attack but now delayed their announcement fearing major Israeli reprisals inside Gaza.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Assailants armed with heavy weapons, guns and explosives launched three attacks in quick succession in southern Israel near the border with Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on Thursday, killing at least six people and wounding about a dozen more, officials said. (Related: Could the Sinai Peninsula be the next Al Qaeda stronghold?) The rare violence in that part of the country targeted a passenger bus, a military patrol and a private car, the officials said.

The usual players were in attendance on a FOX News broadcast this afternoon. A lovely young lady I didn’t recognize was the moderator, and there was another blonde arguing the conservative side of the discussion, and a prissy liberal flamethrower carrying the torch for the Democrats. He looked extremely agitated, and as I began watching I quickly found out why. As my readers all know, I have been predicting for some time the most vile of shenanigans should be expected from the left in the ramping up of their assault on The Tea Party. Having provided the impetus in November...

The ever-controversial musician Morrissey is once again being controversial, this time for saying that the recent terrorist attacks in Norway, which killed 76 people, aren’t as bad as what fast food companies do. At a recent concert in Warsaw, Poland, the former Smiths frontman reportedly said, “We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead.” He then added: “Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried [expletive] every day.” The vegan and animal rights activist then segued into a performance of “Meat is Murder.”

Because she leads the pack of GOP presidential contenders in Iowa, Michele Bachmann has been attacked on all fronts. The mainstream media has attacked her husband’s controversial “gay therapy” clinics that received federal taxpayer dollars. Those on the left have accused Bachmann of being a lightweight demagogue who is insensitive toward gays. And those on the right have expressed their irritability at someone who they accuse mugs for the cameras while lacking a record of significant legislative accomplishments. And last night, The Daily Caller published a story that detailed Bachmann’s history of nearly debilitating migraines and her alleged dependence on...

WASHINGTON - Authorities are warning hotels in major US cities to be vigilant after intelligence recently obtained in Somalia shows al Qaeda was planning to launch a Mumbai-style attack on an upscale hotel in London, FOX News Channel reported late Thursday. The intelligence emerged from computer accessories and other materials gathered at the checkpoint in Mogadishu where Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, the al Qaeda operative who masterminded the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa, was killed Saturday, according to sources. The warning came as US intelligence officials confirmed they had translated some 95 percent of materials obtained from Osama bin...

Via the Corner, I can’t shake the strange feeling that (a) we might hear him use this coinage again on the trail a time or two, starting tomorrow night in New Hampshire, and (b) the expected gang-up on Romney at the CNN debate is going to be way fiercer — and more entertaining — than anyone expected. Just one question: Will it work? According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Sunday morning, three-quarters of Republicans and GOP leaning independent voters say they want a party nominee who can defeat President Barack Obama in 2012, even if that person doesn’t...

Media Matters Senior Foreign Policy Fellow MJ Rosenberg unleashed a stream of anti-Israel vitriol today, calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a “terrorist” and accusing pro-Israel activists of being un-American. As Netanyahu gave a stern but statesmanlike response to President Barack Obama’s speech yesterday, Rosenberg could not restrain his hatred. It was the latest, and the worst, anti-Israel attack by Media Matters’s foreign affairs head. He also attacked the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the large pro-Israel lobby organization whose annual Policy Conference begins this weekend, accusing it of disloyalty

The woman was heading to to Anacostia on Saturday when she noticed a group of people at the L'Enfant Plaza Metro station acting a bit unruly. They were punching the cars, she says, spooking the passengers inside. Through the ruckus, the woman kept moving to catch a green line train. That scene alone might be enough to rattle Metro passengers, but on this night, it was hardly the worst of it. The young woman, who didn’t want her name used in this report, on Sunday described a commuters’ nightmare — a rowdy mess at L'Enfant, followed by a scary confrontation...

Muslim student Amran Hussain, speaking on behalf of the European Union of Jewish Students, recently spoke out for Israel a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, where he castigated the Council for anti-Israel bias. “Why is Israel consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation on the grounds of human rights violations, yet the world turns a blind eye to the human rights situations in the Arab countries …or the Far East...or Africa?” he asked

SANAA, YEMEN - Libyan warplanes and helicopters fired from the air and loyalist militias fatally shot protesters in the streets as the government of Moammar Gaddafi fought back viciously Monday against demonstrations that appear to be fast eroding the autocrat's four-decade-long hold on power.

Democratic Attacks Fell on Deaf Ears This Fall NATHAN L. GONZALES DECEMBER 1, 2010 · 6:30 PM EDT For most of the election cycle, Democratic strategists were optimistic they could hold the House because of their arsenal of opposition research. But Democratic attacks failed to bring down enough Republican challengers to keep the majority. Democrats thought GOP challengers were simply too flawed to be acceptable alternatives to voters who wanted change. But as Republicans learned in 2006 and 2008, the messenger and the audience matter just as much, if not more, than the message when it comes to political attacks....
