Police Release 9 Threatening Postcards
OCALA, Fla. -- Investigators in Marion County, Fla., are searching for the author of nine postcards sent to different schools on the same day with the words 'Jihad-Boom" and handwritten cartoons of a building apparently exploding with people inside.
Investigators released the postcards with the threatening drawings on them Monday in hopes of generating leads in the case.
Officials said that the postcards are made up of various and traditional themes, and each one has a distinctive hand-drawn cartoon on it. Several of the threats arrived on postcards featuring Walt Disney World.
Detectives said the threat-maker crossed his or her No. 7s and attached a suffix to the address. Six of the nine postcards spell the word "Jihad" correctly, while the others are incorrect.
The U.S. Postal Service said that the postcards were all mailed to the schools from the Ocala-Gainesville mailing district before the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
A $10,000 reward has been issued to anyone who provides information which leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for using the postal service to mail the threatening postcards to schools.

Right, it’s not just two dates but a question mark as well. I don’t know what it means, or if it means anything at all, but the question mark is there and shouldn’t be overlooked.
The reward needs to be at least 500,000.00
Assuming that 10-10 is a date. It may not be.
9-11 to 10-10(the birthday of Daniel Pearl) is the supposed "30 Days of Peace".

What else could it be?
Unless I counted wrong, that’s only 29 days. There are 30 days in September.
Koran verse? Time? Who knows. I just wouldn’t get fixated on it as a definative date.
That 10-10 is 10-35
10-65
What do you mean by the 35 and 65?
It’s 30 if you count the 11th(Sept) and the 10th(Oct).
I put all 7 together in one image, but I can't provide a link to it since I don't know how many people will use the link. I don't want to crash my web site. This thread seems to be VERY active.
It's interesting that the writer puts a period after FL most of the time. Who does that?
Could be a time frame, but there are a few quirkie things to note in case it isn’t just a ‘prank’.
10-10-2007 translates to 28 Ramadan this year. 28 Ramadan is the date UBL signed his will which back then corresponded to December (12th?) 2001. 28 Ramadan is also the day after the “Night of Power” when they’re supposedly guaranteed a spot in paradise, if you happen to martyr yourself then, or within the last 10 days of Ramadan.
Then there’s 10-10-2007 —> 10+10+2+7= 29 —> 2+9 = 11 ;-)
Great find! I don't think that's a coincidence.
The only one with Fl instead of FL is going to North Marion High School. And no, nobody puts a . after a state abbreviation.
You could be right.
I think the handwriting is not a match.
Smiling at your number game. I have the same equation on the paper in front of me.
Musilm?
ROFLOL
What a flashback to a pleasant childhood memory you just inspired! :-)
I saw them once, when I was 6 years old and thought they were the most beautiful mermaids ever.
