October 1, 2005 -- Inside Israel ( www.InsideIsrael.com )
JERUSALEM — In the war with Palestinian terrorists, Israel is learning to follow the money.
What investigators have uncovered is the secret funneling of millions of dollars from Iran and Saudi Arabia to groups like Hamas in the West Bank.
The money played a major role in the five-year offensive, begun in September 2000, that accounted for more than 24,000 attacks by Palestinians on Israelis, including 142 homicide bombings.
Those bombings accounted for 510 Israeli deaths, or just over half the fatalities.

Washington Post ^ | Saturday, October 1, 2005 | By Martin Weil and Susan Levine
Biohazard sensors showed the presence of small amounts of
potentially dangerous tularemia bacteriain the Mall area
last weekend as huge crowds assembled there, but health officials said they believed the levels were too low to be a threat.

Small amounts of tularemia not a threat. Gee, I'll sleep better knowing that.
Tularemia symptoms can appear between one and 14 days after exposure, but usually do so after three to five days.
Oooooh a_d HOW I envy you that sight!
I'm also over top of 4 restaurants. Push comes to shove I'll raid them before dipping into my own supplies IF I'm able to stay put.
That's Ragnar Benson thinking at it's best: Clean, cold, precise. I like it.
What's making me nervous are all the public announcements about preparedness along side the threats.
Funny thing...that's what is making ME nervous and they're not playing here in South Florida. I think that's because TPTB have determined that since our area is a cul-de sac and essentially a trap with little or no escape, don't start a panic. Your area has multiple escape routes. I also think TPTB want their families reminded to stock up and get ready to jump while daddy is at work at the Pentagon or White House or Capitol Hill.
Thanks a_d, some very interesting stuff there.
Thanks for the ping Ian, fabulous new thread as always!! TM the most informative thread on FR IMO.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Sat Oct 01 2005 12:28:24 GMT-0700.
Worldwide Caution
August 02, 2005
This Public Announcement updates information on the continuing threat of terrorist actions and violence against Americans and interests overseas. This supersedes the Worldwide Caution dated March 8, 2005 and expires on February 2, 2006.
The Department of State remains concerned about the continued threat of terrorist attacks, demonstrations and other violent actions against U.S. citizens and interests overseas. Americans are reminded that demonstrations and rioting can occur with little or no warning. Ongoing events in Iraq have resulted in demonstrations and associated violence in several countries; such events are likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Nation-wide elections in Afghanistan scheduled for mid-September may also trigger violent anti-American actions.
Current information suggests that al-Qa’ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks against U.S. interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. These attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics to include assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings. Extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests. The latter may include facilities where U.S. citizens and other foreigners congregate or visit, including residential areas, business offices, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, hotels and public areas.
In the wake of the July 2005 London bombings and the March 2004 train attacks in Madrid, Americans are reminded of the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems. In addition, extremists may also select aviation and maritime services as possible targets.
U.S. citizens are strongly encouraged to maintain a high level of vigilance, be aware of local events, and take the appropriate steps to bolster their personal security. For additional information, please refer to “A Safe Trip Abroad” found at http://travel.state.gov.
U.S. Government facilities worldwide remain at a heightened state of alert. These facilities may temporarily close or periodically suspend public services to assess their security posture. In those instances, U.S. embassies and consulates will make every effort to provide emergency services to U.S. citizens. Americans abroad are urged to monitor the local news and maintain contact with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
As the Department continues to develop information on any potential security threats to U.S. citizens overseas, it shares credible threat information through its Consular Information Program documents, available on the internet at http://travel.state.gov. In addition to information on the internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the U.S. or outside the U.S. and Canada on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.
Let's try that again.

News Release
September 30, 2005
STATEWIDE ICE FUGITIVE OPERATION NETS 99 ILLEGAL ALIENS
Violent criminals among the arrested in Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Orlando
MIAMI- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced today that 99 individuals were arrested by detention and removal officers during a weeklong statewide operation targeting alien fugitives, many with criminal convictions for violent crimes. Operation Clean Sweep is part of an ongoing effort to identify and arrest fugitive criminal aliens that were ordered removed by a federal immigration judge but failed to comply with their lawful orders. Many of those arrested have been in hiding evading law enforcement for years.
The operation was conducted by ICE Fugitive Operations teams in Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando.
“Operation Clean Sweep is part of our continued mission to keeping our communities safe by removing dangerous criminal aliens from our streets," said Michael Rozos, field office director for detention and removal in Florida. "Criminal aliens have a very high rate of recidivism and often re-victimize the community in which they reside. By finding and removing these fugitives, we are able to greatly enhance the public safety of Florida, while restoring integrity to our nation's immigration system."
Many of the fugitives arrested during this operation have a history of violent criminal activity that include sexual assault of a child, driving under the influence (DUI), domestic violence, child abuse, assault with a deadly weapon and battery on a law enforcement officer. Some examples of those arrested in this operation are:
Feddy Avila, a 44-year-old national of Costa Rica convicted of assault with intent to commit sexual battery on a minor. Avila was arrested on Sept. 29th in Miami, Florida.
Carol B Sue, a 32-year-old national of the United Kindgom convicted of battery, child abuse, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, strong-armed robbery and burglary with assault. Sue was arrested on Sept. 26th in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
Sheldon Ramjattan, a 28-year-old national of Trinidad and Tobago convicted of armed robbery. Ramjattan was arrested on Sept. 27th in Lake Worth, Florida.
George Sandiford, a 52-year-old national of Barbados convicted of aggravated battery with a weapon, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and child abuse. Sandiford was arrested on Sept. 29th in South Bay, Florida.
Badderdin Jakouch, a 22-year-old national of Saudi Arabia convicted of assault, possession of narcotic equipment, shoplifting, obstruction of a police officer and contempt of court. Jakouch was arrested on Sept. 28th in Jacksonville, Florida.
Michael Anthony Houlker, a 51-year-old national of Jamaica convicted of aggravated battery, sale of marijuana and possession of marijuana. Houlker was arrested on Sept. 28th in Deltona, Florida.
Gregorio Flores-Ramirez, a 27-year-old national of Mexico convicted of carrying a concealed weapon and possession of marijuana. Flores-Ramirez was arrested this morning in Haines City, Florida.
Salvador Ochoa-Reyes, a 49-year-old national of Honduras convicted of domestic battery and assault charges. Ochoa-Reyes was arrested Sept. 25 in Bradenton, Florida.
Candido Silva-Aguilar, a 40-year-old national of Mexico convicted of committing a sexual offense against a child. Silva-Aguilar was arrested on Sept. 28th in Orlando, Florida.
Edward Pinnock, a 44-year-old national of Jamaica convicted of sale of cocaine and re-entry after deportation. Pinnock was arrested on Sept. 28th in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Operation Clean Sweep is a combined effort between Federal, state, county, and local law enforcement agencies throughout Florida coming together to locate and apprehend fugitives. Participating agencies included: ICE’s Office of Investigations, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, Hillsborough County Warrants Division, Manatee County Sheriff’s Office, Haines City Police Department, and Florida State Parole and Probation.
The arrests made in this operation are a result of ICE's National Fugitive Operations Program (NFOP), which is part of ICE's ongoing effort to restore integrity to the nation's immigration system. Last fiscal year, ICE removed a record 160,000 aliens from the country.
The aim of the NFOP initiative is to reduce the number of fugitive aliens in the United States. Fugitives are foreign nationals who have been ordered removed by a federal immigration judge, but failed to comply with those orders. Currently, ICE has 16 Fugitive Operations Teams nationwide which are designed to identify, locate, and apprehend fugitive aliens for removal from the United States. The President's budget seeks $8.8 million in enhanced funding in FY 2006 to increase the number of Fugitive Operations teams around the country. In fiscal year 2004, there was a 62 percent increase in the number of fugitive aliens apprehended by ICE compared to the previous year.
In addition to the Operation Clean Sweep arrests, ICE's Florida Field office arrested 1,075 fugitive aliens so far this fiscal year. Since these individuals have already been through immigration proceedings, they are subject to immediate removal from the country.

"Nuclear Security: Feds Nail Three Illegal Aliens at Nuclear Plant"
by Jim Kouri, CPP
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "In the latest in a series of arrests involving illegal aliens at nuclear facilities, federal agents arrested three illegal aliens in Blair, Nebraska, on September 15 when they attempted to enter the outer secure area of the Omaha Public Power District’s Fort Calhoun Nuclear Station to perform contract work at the plant for the first time.
The three men, all citizens of Mexico, had been hired by an independent contractor to perform maintenance work at the nuclear facility. As they attempted to enter a secure area of the plant, the men presented identification documents that raised the suspicions of Omaha Public Power District security officers. The officers contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials for assistance. ICE agents responded and arrested the men after determining that they were illegally present in the United States."
