Breaking News: 2nd Warning - Muslims Urged To Leave U.S. - Next Attack Imminent Urgent news from Peshawar.
The head of the Islamabad-based Al-Quds Media Center has received a message from a senior Taliban leader who calls upon all Muslims living in the United States to leave the country as soon as possible “because God’s punishment will fall upon America in the month of Ramadan.”
Jamal Ismail, a senior journalist at Al-Quds, received the call Thursday from Mulla Masoom Afghani. “Afghani said he was speaking from somewhere in the Kandahar province,” Ismail said. “He read the message in Arabic, which I recorded. In it he advised Muslim residents of America to get out to escape harm because the United States could face big attacks in the month of Ramadan.”
This is the second notice for Muslims to leave America. The first was issued to Hamid Mir, the only journalist to interview Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri in the wake of 9/11. Mir received the warning from Abu Dawood, the newly appointed commander of the al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan, who said: Final preparations have been made for the American Hiroshima, a major attack on the U. S. Read More ... WorldNetDaily Article
NYC Students Charged Over Packages On Subway - October 14th, 2006
The dean of a Brooklyn arts college chastised two students who planted packages in the subway for a class project, saying it was like shouting fire in a crowded theater.

They said the stunt was part of a class project at the Pratt Institute.
“There’s a difference between challenging paintings and thought-provoking conceptual projects and criminal activity,” Frank O. Lind, dean of Pratt’s School of Art and Design, told The New York Times. “This was shouting fire in a crowded theater.” Read More
Police Had A Second Mole In Terror Plot October 14th, 2006
The Globe and Mail has learned the identity of a second informer who was instrumental in Canada’s most sensational anti-terrorism sweep.
Around the time 18 individuals were arrested on terror-related charges in June, a man vanished from his home in a Toronto suburb.

The channel said the tape was one-hour long, showing footage of Libi urging fighters to train hard and even to try to acquire nuclear technology.

Nightmare scenario: A-bombs for al-Qaeda - October 10th, 2006
The most alarming thing about Kim Jong-il’s new weapons, to many knowledgeable observers, is not the nuclear threat itself. It is the way the world’s major powers might respond to them.
The worst-case scenario goes something like this: Terrified by the nuclear threat next door, the Japanese decide to build their own nuclear arsenal, to the deep alarm of China. The United States beefs up its Pacific bases and begins threatening attacks on North Korean missile sites. In response to this new U.S. presence near its shores, China drastically increases its military strength and begins making overt threats, setting off a chain of military escalation. And North Korea, isolated and desperate after losing its last sources of economic support, sells its nuclear devices to al-Qaeda. Read More
