While America’s attention has been elsewhere, the troubled country of Somalia has just fallen to a terrorist group that seems to be modeling itself on the terrible example of the Taliban.....

Then there is the “inconvenient truth” of the arms being stockpiled by the Somali Islamists. According to the Monitoring Group set up under United Nations Security Council Resolution 1407 embargoing arm shipments to the former Somalia, on March 5 of this year, the Islamists were shipped, via Eritrea, 200 boxes of Zu-23 anti-aircraft ammunition, 200 boxes of B-10 anti-tank ammunition, 200 boxes of DShK anti-aircraft ammunition, 200 boxes of Browning M2 50-caliber heavy machine gun ammunition, ammunition for the ZP-39 anti-aircraft gun, 50 rocket propelled grenade launchers, 50 light anti-armor weapons, 50 M-79 grenade launchers,

Homeland security papers offer glimpse of California threats

SACRAMENTO


Homeland security files opened for review Thursday showed California officials have grappled with bomb threats, suspicious passengers on airplanes, security breaches at oil refineries and dozens of other incidents in recent months.(snip)

There was a bomb threat to the Bay Bridge in March, and one to a Greyhound bus in Bakersfield in April. Agencies have recorded multiple reports of individuals taking photographs of a nuclear facility in San Clemente and of an oil refinery in the San Francisco Bay area town of Rodeo. Security guards also found a hole cut in a fence at an oil refinery in Martinez.

In perhaps the most intriguing entry, one of the daily security briefings in April cited a redacted FBI report titled "Hizballah busted in Mexican smuggling operation."

Homeland security officials and an FBI spokeswoman declined to comment on the reference to the Lebanon-based terrorist group and said they could not confirm if members of the group were apprehended on the Mexican border.(snip)

The state also logged at least four domestic flights since February in which crew members or federal air marshals reported suspicious passengers. The briefings also included references to an undefined air space violation, confiscated counterfeit visas and 7,000 pounds of stolen fertilizer, which can be used as a bomb-making material, in Contra Costa County.(snip)
