Israeli Intelligence Company Monitors Radical Websites
Most of the analysts at Terrogence are former Israeli intelligence operatives. From a converted chicken coop in a village in central Israel they monitor Islamic internet sites devoted to global jihad and terrorism. Their mission is to identify new and credible threats against western targets.
According to Terrogence founder Gadi Aviran the online discussion ran to 25 pages and continued until a critical posting in late November by a known extremist with a proven track record in explosives. This individual has been monitored for several years and is widely respected by participants in the forums. His posting in Arabic read:
“You can ignite a detonator using a medical capsule and put concentrated sulphuric acid into it, and then put it over the explosive materials.”
They believe the “medical capsule” mentioned in the post could easily refer to a syringe as used in the attack on North West Flight 253.
Earlier, activists had detailed debates about how much chemical to use to avoid detection in airports and which liquids work best as a detonator.
After this posting Terrogence sent warnings to their clients around the world which include so-called “Western governmental agencies.”http://ow.ly/16gz1I
The gunman who opened fire in the federal courthouse this morning, killing a security officer and wounding a deputy U.S. marshal, was Johnny Lee Wicks, according to a law enforcement source.
In 2008 Wicks filed a federal race discrimination complaint against a regional commissioner with the Social Security Division. Wicks’ complaint stemmed from an encounter he had with the regional commissioner at the social security office after learning his monthly social security payment would be reduced.
The security officer killed in the gunbattle was 65-year-old Stan Cooper, a retired Las Vegas police officer who worked for a federal contractor providing security at the courthouse, according to a source.
The gunman opened fire about 8 a.m. inside the lobby of the Lloyd George U.S. Courthouse, 333 Las Vegas Blvd. South.
Las Vegas police spokeswoman Barbara Morgan said the shooter had been shot in the head.
“It looks like he went in there and just started unloading,” Morgan said.More>>> http://bit.ly/6comTF
