“Suspected rebels attack Agadez”
June 18 2007 at 09:28AM
By Abdoulaye Massalatchi
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Suspected Tuareg rebels in Niger attacked the airport of the Saharan town of Agadez on Sunday in one of their boldest raids this year, challenging the authority of the central government, military sources and residents said.
“Armed men attacked Agadez from the airport side, there has been firing with heavy weapons,” one military source, who asked not to be named, told Reuters.
The gunfire later subsided. There was no immediate word from the authorities about casualties or damage.
Residents confirmed the firing in the town, which is located 1 000km north of the capital Niamey and is the gateway to Niger’s remote desert region where foreign companies are exploring for uranium and oil.”

“Ogbainbiri facility shut down”
June 18 2007 at 09:33AM
By Tom Ashby
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Gunmen overran a Nigerian oilfield station operated by Italy’s Eni on Sunday, holding 24 local workers hostage, the company said.
The militants invaded the Ogbainbiri facility in Bayelsa state, which normally produces 40 000 barrels a day, after a gunfight with soldiers guarding it.
“Eni is already collaborating with the authorities of Bayelsa to find a solution as quickly as possible,” a company spokesperson said, adding that 24 Nigerian staff were being held at the facility.
It was unclear if anyone was killed or injured in the attack. The spokesperson did not say whether oil production had stopped, but it is routine practice to shut down a facility when it is attacked.”

“Militant fights from a basement on Emergency Street in Lebanon”
By Nada Bakri
Published: June 19, 2007
AIN AL HILWE REFUGEE CAMP, Lebanon: On a recent afternoon, with the smoke still rising from buildings burned in fierce fighting here between Islamist militants and the Lebanese Army, a man calling himself Abu Omar gave a tour of his squalid neighborhood.
Abu Omar, a militant Islamist, is among the most charismatic leaders in the camp, loved by his supporters but detested by those who say militants bring nothing but destruction to the Palestinians.”

“Millions of shekels transferred from Saudi to Hamas
Charity associations in Jerusalem receive millions of shekels to fund Hamas hostilities”
Aviram Zino
Published: 06.18.07, 20:22 / Israel News
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “According to two indectments served Monday, millions of shekels have been transferred from a Saudi organization to Hamas operatives in Jerusalem. The money was received as charity although, in reality, it was earmarked for terrorist activities.
Following a request from the Jerusalem prosecutor’s office, details of the affair were released for publication Monday after the Shin Bet and Police investigation was concluded.
Two indictments were served on members of the organizations involved for breaking the law that prohibits funding terrorism.
The millions of shekels were received from the Charity Coalition – an umbrella organization that encompasses Hamas charitable societies in Saudi Arabia.
The money was transferred to non-profit organizations in the A-Ram neighborhood of Jerusalem to conceal its final destination – the Hamas movement in the city.”

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE
Office of the Spokesman
This information is current as of today, Tue Jun 19 2007 03:34:48 GMT-0700.
Worldwide Caution
April 10, 2007
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 October 11, 2006 and expires on October 9, 2007.
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. Current information suggests that al-Qaida 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.
Ongoing events in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East have resulted in demonstrations and associated violence in several countries. Americans are reminded that demonstrations and rioting can occur with little or no warning.
In August 2006, British authorities arrested a significant number of extremists engaged in a plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States. The September 2006 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Syria and the March 2006 bombing near the U.S. Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan illustrate the continuing desire of extremists to strike American targets.
Extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests. The bomb attacks targeting buses carrying foreign workers in March 2007 and December 2006 in Algeria, a series of bombings in Thailand in May and September 2006 that targeted commercial and tourist destinations in the far south, and the bombings in the the Egyptian resort town of Dahab in April 2006 all illustrate how terrorists exploit vulnerabilities associated with soft targets. Additional examples of such targets include high-profile sporting events, residential areas, business offices, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas and locales where Americans gather in large numbers, including during holidays. Financial or economic targets of value may also be considered as possible venues; the vehicle-based suicide attack on an oil facility near Mukalla and Marib in Yemen in September 2006 and the failed attack on the Abqaiq oil processing facility in Saudi Arabia in late February 2006 are such examples.
In the wake of the August 2006 plot against aircraft in London, numerous terrorist attacks on trains in India in 2006, the July 2005 London Underground 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.

JERUSALEM (AFP) - Israel is concerned about reported Russian deliveries of advanced MiG-31 fighter planes to its enemy Syria as part of an armaments drive, the top-selling Hebrew daily reported on Tuesday. T

“Blaze at Furniture Warehouse in Charleston Kills 9”
Tuesday, June 19, 2007
“CHARLESTON, S.C. — A massive blaze at a furniture warehouse in Charleston, S.C., killed nine people, including at least two firefighters, Monday night.”
Thanks for the ping Ian and posting this mossad1967
So far we’ve avoided some attacks by dumb luck and alert citizens reporting suspicious activities like the Fort Dix plot.
Considering our government is working so hard to keep our borders open for the “amnesty trade” something will occur here sooner or later, it’s only a matter of time. And our citizens who are killed will be their responsibility and on their conscience forever, that is if they have one.

“Syrian Efforts to Deny Fath Al-Islam Affiliation With Syrian Intelligence”
By H. Varulkar*
Introduction
SNIPPET: “Following the exposure of an affiliation between Fath Al-Islam and Syrian intelligence during the interrogation of Fath Al-Islam members, Syrian and pro-Syrian elements and media have been making efforts to deny this affiliation. Fath Al-Islam leaders with connections to Syria have suddenly disappeared, to be replaced by new leaders, claimed to be connected to Al-Qaeda. In addition, one of the organization’s new leaders and a pro-Syrian Lebanese source have stated that Fath Al-Islam is under the command of Al-Qaeda, a claim that was firmly denied by the organization’s previous leadership.”
