Thanks JP. My hair stood on end for a second thinking there were 30 known camps in addition to ul-F. Of course, I assume, there are quite a few that we don’t know about and all of them are up to no good. Keep up the watch for the good side JP.
Algerian authorities have arrested ten suspected members of an Al-Qaeda cell in an anti-terrorism operation in the past two days, news reports said on Wednesday. The suspects were arrested in separate raids in the Algerian capital, Algiers, and in the east of the country, according to reports.
In the anti-terrorism operation in Algiers, police arrested six suspected members of cell linked to the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb - the terror network's African branch. The suspects allegedly gathered "large" sums of money for Al-Qaeda which they had extorted from small businesses on the outskirts of Algiers.
Four more suspects were arrested in Stif, 300 kilometres east of Algiers. They face charges of providing logistical support to armed groups. The four suspects arrested in Stif are originally from Boumerdes, east of Algiers and from Bouira, southeast of the capital, and do not not have previous police records, according to Algerian daily El Khabar.

Saudi spies hunt al-Qaida in Yemen
Dec. 15, 2009
Saudi Arabia's intelligence service has established a station in Yemen's capital ostensibly to help coordinate a joint campaign against northern Shiite rebels along the kingdom's border. But its main task is understood to be hunting down the Yemen-based operatives of a resurgent al-Qaida that threatens the Saudi monarchy, and eliminating them with extreme prejudice.
The Saudis, longtime adversaries of the republicans who triumphed over the royalists in Yemen's civil war of the 1960s, have long distrusted their southern neighbors -- and still do. But such is the mortal danger the House of Saud sees in a resurgent al-Qaida in Yemen, ancestral homeland of Osama bin Laden, it has set aside old feuds to go after the jihadists.

Zawahiri's wife No. 2 urges women not to join jehad
Snip The wife of al-Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has appealed to Muslim women not to join the jehad themselves, but to support their menfolk in holy war, US monitoring groups said on Thursday. In a letter released by al-Qaeda’s media arm As-Sahab entitled ‘A Message to the Muslim Sisters’, Omayma Hassan Ahmed Mohammed Hassan called on the female faithful to support their husbands and male mujahideen, and properly rear their children.
Seifullah Jalali: "Again, this great Afghan nation confronts injustice – this time American injustice. We have arisen again, and we are confronting them with all possible means, including martyrdom operations. Their tanks, their bases, and their patrols have come under our fire, and they are no longer safe. We will force them to leave [Afghanistan], whether or not their claims that they will withdraw are true. We will force them to withdraw.

Leaked Australian blacklist reveals banned sites
Snips: The Australian communications regulator's top-secret blacklist of banned websites has been leaked on to the web and paints a harrowing picture of Australia's forthcoming internet censorship regime.
But about half of the sites on the list are not related to child porn and include a slew of online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist.

Biden will discuss the measures at a meeting on climate change in Copenhagen next week.
PG&E sued over smart meters, slows down Bakersfield deployment
Pacific Gas & Electric has "paused" installing smart meters in the Bakersfield area because of complaints from residents that their new Pacific Gas & Electric smart meters are overcharging them. PG&E denies the allegations, noting that the rise in electricity bills some customers have seen come from other factors, such as regulator-approved rate hikes and air conditioning spikes during heat waves. Nonetheless, it has put a halt on new meters for now, utility spokesman Paul Moreno said Tuesday.
Complaints for power have now taken the form of a lawsuit. Pete Flores, of Bakersfield, claims in the suit filed last week in Kern County Superior Court that ever since PG&E installed a smart meter at his home, he's been charged for more electricity than he has used. Right now Flores – who says his average bill as jumped from about $200 a month to about $500 to $600 a month since he got a smart meter – is the only named plaintiff.

Trace mustard detected at (Umatilla) depot
Depot chemical operations monitoring workers detected trace amounts of HD mustard chemical agent vapor today inside a depot storage structure or "igloo" that houses bulk containers. The traces of mustard chemical agent vapor were detected during routine weekly monitoring. The vapor is likely due to a leaking bulk container.
There was no danger to the public or environment. The igloos haves a passive filtration system that prevents chemical agent vapor from escaping outside the structures. As a further protective measure after each leak is discovered, a powered filtration system was installed on the igloo. The leaking container will be identified, inspected, repaired as necessary, and decontaminated.

Thank you for the ping Mama Dearest.
You’re welcome Cindy.
Snip: Hate for the US is the problem of Imran Khan or his anti-Pakhtun allies. It is not the problem of the people of FATA. Their problem is occupation of their land by the international jihadi gangs. There are clear signs that the people of FATA are cooperating with the Americans in liberating their land from the jihadi occupation.
Imran Khan said one of the Taliban groups is made of tribesmen who hate the US and attack the state and society in Pakistan because they see the country in alliance with the US. This is a bizarre fantasy of Imran Khan having nothing to do with tribesmen in FATA. There are no tribesmen who are killing innocent civilians and security forces due to anti-US sentiment. The tribesmen who have joined the Taliban groups are seen as criminals by their fellow tribesmen. The tribesmen who have joined the ranks of different Taliban groups are lost to the global jihadi ideology of the al Qaeda and stand stripped of Pakhtunwali. They are no more Pakhtun! They themselves have given up their Pakhtun identity. They claim to fight for global Islam that disrespects ethnic sensitivities.
The militants, in Imran Khan’s own words in the interview, are 15,000. Clearly not all of them are tribesmen. They include the Punjabi Taliban and foreign terrorists. There are no signs that these 15,000 or so terrorists are backed by tribal society. There has never been any grand tribal jirga in any tribal area that backed the terrorists, local or foreign. The Taliban groups in FATA are Hafiz Gul Abrader Groups, Haqqani Group, Mullah Nazeer Group, Turkistan Brittani Group, Tariq Afridi Group, Mangal Bagh Group, and Maulvi Omar Group. These terrorist groups are killing indiscriminately inside and beyond FATA. None of them had ever been backed by tribal jirgas. In fact, some of them have banned jirgas and termed them as ‘un-Islamic’ institutions. These groups have to be crushed for peace in Pakhtunkhwa and wider Pakistan. Anyone seeking dialogue with such groups is the enemy of the Pakhtun and Pakistan.
Funding for jihad troubling, scholar says
Snips: More than 35 percent of Egyptians and Saudis interviewed in a recent survey considered it their duty to back regional mujahedin financially, a scholar notes. David Pollock, a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the polling shows more than 35 percent of those interviewed considered it "an Islamic duty" to support Islamic fighters around the world.
Terror monitor - tape of captured US soldier due
Snips: The Taliban have announced they will release a new video of a U.S. soldier captured in Afghanistan, a U.S.-based terrorism monitoring group said Wednesday.
The only U.S. soldier known to be in captivity is Pfc. Bowe Bergdahl of Hailey, Idaho, who disappeared more than five months ago in Afghanistan.

ISLAMBERG HAS BECOME A GHOST TOWN-Dr. Paul L. Williams
Please post or mail anything you uncover
Very timely
Thanks. I appreciate the credit, but this was all Paul Williams. Someone on my campaign, a brilliant consultant named Vince Mariano, found the link.
Williams claims that the WSJ broke the story. Problem is that the WSJ posts almost none of its content on line. Jihad Watch seems reliable though and apparently Williams himself has a strong track record with regard to tracking such groups.
What can we do about this - aside from disseminate?
Thank Vince for us and please stick around
I’m sure the LEO’s are informed but my concern is this administration. If we can collect dates when this began to happen, which compounds, a few of our folks here have contacts, we will pass it on. The brainstorming and sharing her is what we all need to do
