Man accused in laser case goes to court
Published on: 04/17/07

The pilot of a DeKalb County police helicopter responding to an emergency call was momentarily blinded in February when a man shined a high-powered laser pointer at the craft.

On Monday, the man accused with training the green light on the aircraft was in federal court, charged with lying to federal agents.

Mohammed Haghighi, 24, allegedly shined the laser at the craft as it responded Feb. 4 to a melee at a roller rink near his apartment. Authorities said the pilots, who were wearing night vision goggles, were temporarily disoriented as the laser bathed the cockpit glass in a green glow. (snip)

I remember DeKalkb, but not the incident.

Thanks for posting it anyway, Velveeta; it’s a good memory jogger.

School Threats Sweep Country (NBC, Proud as a Peacock)
SF Gate ^ | 4/20/07 | ALLISON HOFFMAN, Associated Press Writer

Posted on 04/19/2007 11:44:57 PM PDT by BurbankKarl

A Web designer was charged Thursday with posting on his own site a bogus threat to kill 50 San Diego State University students, then alerting a TV station to try to draw publicity, the FBI said.

Cristobal Fernando Gonzalez, 32, was faces one felony count of making a threatening communication through the Internet.

His parents said outside the federal courthouse that he was remorseful.

“I hope it doesn’t ruin his future,” said his mother, Diana Gomez.

A 12,000-student school district in Yuba City, Calif., about 35 miles north of Sacramento, was locked down Thursday as authorities searched for a man they say threatened to dwarf the Virginia Tech attacks, in which gunman Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people and himself.

In Michigan, police said they arrested a former Kalamazoo Valley Community College student who posted Internet messages praising the Virginia Tech shooting. Officials closed the college’s two campuses through the weekend.

_ A high school student in Federal Way, Wash., near Seattle, was arrested after authorities said he brought three loaded guns and extra ammunition.

_ A 20-year-old man in Bismarck, N.D., was charged with saying on a blog that the Virginia Tech massacre was funny and that he had plans for a school shooting rampage.

_ A high school student in Fort Smith, Ark., was arrested after police said he scrawled a message on a classroom desk saying he wanted to “be a hero” like Cho.

_ In St. Augustine, Fla., a 14-year-old high school student was charged with threatening in an e-mail between friends to top the Virginia Tech massacre by killing 100 people, a sheriff’s spokesman said.

_ Students received threatening text messages at Kearney High School in Kearney, Neb. that said things like “Don’t go to school tomorrow.” The school called off classes for Friday.

Iran and Venezuela Commonalty, Resistance against U.S.
IRIB ^ | 4/20/2007 | IRIB

Posted on 04/20/2007 12:06:20 AM PDT by Dallas59

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki has said the commonalty of Iran and Venezuela is their resistance against the U.S.

According to IRNA, following his meeting with the Venezuelan Parliament Speaker Sylvia Flores in Caracas, Thursday afternoon, and in an interview with the reporters, Mottaki said Iran and Venezuela are not in war with any state, but they will also not submit to bullying and forceful language.

Mottaki noted that U.S. policies in Middle East have failed, adding that bullying and threatening is no longer effective in today’s world and the failed U.S. policies have to change.

The Iranian Foreign Minister congratulated the anniversary of independence of Venezuela to the Venezuelan nation and government and referred to the need to develop Tehran-Caracas relations in different fields, emphasizing that Iran and Venezuela should use all of each other’s existing capacities.

In an interview with AMTV, Mottaki stressed that by adopting colonial monetary and financial policies, the domineering powers have violated the rights of poor people in Latin America during the previous decades.

“Nuclear terror:
How likely is it?”

Posted: April 20, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “WASHINGTON – How likely is it that terrorists will some day be successful at detonating a nuclear device in a major American city?

That was the question debated in an online forum sponsored by the Council on Foreign Relations this week.

And while Harvard’s Graham T. Allison and the CFR’s Michael A. Levi may disagree over the likelihood of such an attack, they agreed it is a serious threat and much more needs to be done to avoid the disastrous consequences.”

“Has an Organized Campaign to Shut Down Islamist Websites Begun? Islamist Forums Claim It Has”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In the past weeks, several rumors have been spread over Islamist websites about Western intelligence agencies’ intention to shut down Islamist forums. As one Islamist put it, “We are all aware of the Zionist-Crusader campaign that has been launched against the Islamist websites... The most recent [manifestation of this campaign] is... the effort of American intelligence to completely eliminate websites that distribute communiqués [by the mujahideen] and films [documenting] attacks of the Iraqi resistance, or which encourage so-called terrorism.... As part of this campaign, [the Americans are also] threatening TV networks that broadcast videos [documenting] attacks... or that report on [Coalition] casualties not reported by the U.S. military.” [1] Islamist forums reacting to the recent disabling of one Islamist website and one Islamist forum claim that these are two manifestations of a single united U.S. campaign against Islamists.”
