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.

That would be how I also interpreted it.
I was wondering if anybody would notice...............
LOL, of course you do!
My Name is Nobody.
Anyone notice that the one sent to Dunnellon is a Costa Rica postcard. Also, Dunnellon looks like an outlier when I plotted all the locations on a map. May be nothing, but it is interesting.
I hope this is a prank, but anymore I can’t take anything in that light.
OCTOBER 10, 680 - Battle of Karbala: Shia Imam Husayn bin Ali, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was decapitated by forces under Caliph Yazid I. This is commemorated by Shi’a Muslims as Aashurah.

what is 680?
This decapitation thing, the decision to not grant the leader of the caliphate based on bloodline, but more by ~voting is what cause the shia / sunni split.

A whole lot of “Battle of” through the Centuries. Just about any date could link to a muslim bloodletting somewhere.
Sorry about the wrong link. Let me dig up the right one.
My credit score...............IT’s THE YEAR!.................
New moon time for the loonies.
I’d love to see the addresses plotted on a map, I’m just not techno-savvy enough to figure out how to do it and post it.
