Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Thirty-Five

Posted on 03/09/2006 10:08:04 PM PST by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Unrest in Pakistan Setback for Terror War
(Full Story)

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- A week of unprecedented urban fighting in the wild tribal belt of North Waziristan has left scores dead and forced thousands to flee their homes, raising the stakes in Pakistan's war on Islamic militancy along the Afghan border.

A jumbled alliance of foreign militants, local tribesmen and Islamic students eager for jihad have stepped up resistance in a region where the army already claims to have wiped out al-Qaida as a viable fighting force.

The unrest, brewing for months, is a setback to the U.S.-led war on terror. Further hampering that effort are deteriorating relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan over Afghan claims that Taliban leader Mullah Omar is hiding in Pakistan and suicide bombers are training here.

Norway e-coli outbreak traced to spices

Snip: The spices imported by Arne B Corneliussen AS are also used in several other fish- and meat products in Norway, but a Corneliussen spokesman said the import firm hadn't been contacted by food or health authorities as of Tuesday.

Bacterial food poisoning

Snip: B. cereus is found in dust, soil and spices. It can survive normal cooking as a heat-resistant spore, and then produce a large number of cells if the storage temperature is incorrect.

Recall dark chocolate with high lead content

Snip: The products were distributed nationally through wholesale food distributors and through stores that sell organic, natural and/or specialty foods, and on some Internet sites. Dagoba is located in Ashland, Ore. The recalled products are: Dagoba Organic Eclipse 87 percent Extra Dark, 2-ounce bar, lot codes 20061122, 20061130, 20061201, 20061206, 20061213, 20061214, 20061219, 20061227, 20070103, 20070116, 20070130, 20070213, 20070220, 20070227, 20070306 and 20070313.

"One dead after explosion at Toronto Tim Hortons"
Updated Sun. Apr. 2 2006 5:39 PM ET

CTV.ca News Staff


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Early news reports said a man was seen going into the washroom with explosives strapped to his chest. Police would not confirm the reports.

Employees and witnesses were questioned by police about what they had seen."


ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "The police bomb squad worked at the scene for much of the afternoon. They used a remote controlled bomb disposal robot to investigate an object found nearby.

Yonge Street was shut down in both directions between Yorkville and Bloor, reportedly tying up traffic around one of the city's busiest intersections.

There is no word yet on what caused the blast. Once police declare the scene to be safe the fire marshal's office will begin an investigation.

Later Sunday, another Tim Hortons outlet in Toronto was locked down after a suspicious package was found inside the restaurant, just a few subway stations north of where the explosion occurred.

Few details were immediately available, but police confirmed an emergency task force unit had been dispatched to the second location and the area had been evacuated.

With files from The Canadian Press"

I have yet to find anything on this on the main stream news channels.

I'm so sorry you and your wife are sick.
I hope you get well ASAP.

I know when I get the spring crud, allergies, sore throat, coughing, etc,
it's tea with lemon and honey and at night I put Vicks Vapo-Rub on my
chest and during the day take Halls Maximum strength cough drops with
strong tea.

What a bummer.
Do get well soon.

Very very few Muslims have been converted otherwise; notable exceptions are black Muslims especially in prisons. Not just black in prisons, but Hispanics and some whites. Many gang-bangers are also converting to Islam. Reason: very simply this, gives religious sanction to criminal activity and behavior. Crime no longer anti-social activity, but is now part of the global "jihad". Expect more of this and more terrorist activity stemming from these criminal source, esp. as these mujihadin wanna-be's link up with genuine ME terrorists and receive instruction and tng. Chavezism could also become a source of terror.

"Khadr faces new hearing"
BETH GORHAM
CANADIAN PRESS

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Canadian teenager Omar Khadr will once again appear at an American military tribunal this week, even as the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether the process for suspected terrorists at Guantanamo Bay is legal.

Khadr, 19, faced initial pre-trial hearings in January on a murder charge and other counts stemming from a grenade attack in 2002 that killed a U.S. medic in Afghanistan when he was 15 years old."

Sorry to hear you're sick, ExSoldier. I started getting it and started using "Airborne" right away. It didn't drive it off completely, but it sure lessened the severity, from what I can tell.

I highly recommend the stuff.

Al-Qaeda plotters sought Canadian as pilot, court told

Canadian jihad, eh? From the Globe and Mail, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

A Montreal resident was picked by al-Qaeda plotters to be a pilot in a second wave of suicide hijackings to follow the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks because he was a Canadian citizen, a deposition filed at the U.S. trial of terror suspect Zacarias Moussaoui alleges.
Abderraouf Jdey, a Montrealer of Tunisian origin who is now a fugitive, obtained his Canadian citizenship in 1995. He was selected along with Mr. Moussaoui, a French citizen, because they had passports from Western countries, since al-Qaeda planners expected tighter security after Sept. 11, the court document says.

“Al Qaeda wanted the second wave operatives to carry French, Canadian, Malaysian, or Indonesian passports instead of Middle Eastern passports,” the document says.

Muslim cemetery in Charlotte running out of room (Excerpted)
Associated Press Sun, Apr. 02, 2006
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Muslims in the Charlotte area are concerned their cemetery is running out of room.

"We want our own cemeteries so we don't have to compromise."

Traditional Muslim burial calls for the body to be wrapped in a shroud and buried in a two-level grave, lying on its side and facing Mecca.

Now they're saying it was a fire, not a bombing......

One person dead in Toronto shop explosion

4/2/2006, 6:59 p.m. ET
The Associated Press

TORONTO (AP) — An apparent explosion at a popular coffee shop killed one man Sunday and brought this city's downtown shopping district to a standstill.

The explosion occurred at a Tim Hortons coffee shop, and police said another store in the chain was locked down later in the day when a suspicious package was found there, police said.

Toronto police Chief Bill Blair described the incident as a fire in the washroom — not a bombing — and said police were not looking for any suspects. He refused to speculate on a cause "until we determine precisely what happened in that cubicle and what caused those flames that took that man's life."

Daryl Fuglerud, a fire department spokesman, said workers tried unsuccessfully to revive the man, who had burns to his body and had not been identified.

The body remained inside the coffee shop hours after the blast, while authorities cordoned off a block of Yonge Street and evacuated the area. The intersection of Yonge and Bloor Street is one of the busiest shopping districts in the city.

Police said an emergency task force unit dispatched to a second Time Hortons coffee shop after a suspicious package was found, but could not confirm whether a second explosion heard in the area several hours after the first was an intentional detonation or an unrelated blast.

Another UPDATE...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/04/02/canada.blast.reut/index.html

"Man dies in coffee shop 'wall of flames'"

Sunday, April 2, 2006; Posted: 8:55 p.m. EDT (00:55 GMT)


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TORONTO, Ontario (Reuters) -- A man was killed in a "wall of flames" in a downtown Toronto coffee shop on Sunday, after a device exploded inside a washroom, according to police and eyewitnesses.

Eyewitness Jenny Phillips said she heard bangs -- like pops from a firecracker -- and a scream "that will haunt me forever" as she left the washroom area in the Tim Hortons shop, an iconic Canadian coffee and doughnut chain recently spun off from parent company Wendy's International Inc.

She smelled burned powder, and saw there was a "wall of flames" inside the men's washroom before staff herded some two dozen customers outside. "I thought the roof was caving in. People were screaming," she told Reuters.

Toronto police chief Bill Blair told reporters that a device in the washroom had caused a flash fire, and the unidentified male victim had suffered severe burns.

"It appears that there has been a very hot and intense fire in the enclosed area within the washroom," Blair said. "We are still very preliminary in our investigation to determine the cause of this fire, and we are still determining whether or not this was a purposeful act or an accident.""
