    NEW YORK (AP) - A Yemeni sheik and his assistant were convicted Thursday of plotting to funnel money to al-Qaida and Hamas, handing a victory to prosecutors shaken last year when the man who was supposed to be their star witness set himself on fire outside the White House. Sheik Mohammed Ali Hassan Al-Moayad and Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed were found guilty on all but two of the 10 charges in an indictment that accused them of vital roles in a terror-funding network that stretched from Brooklyn to Yemen. In a meeting with FBI informants in a German hotel room,...

    Study ties Hussein, guerrilla strategy US may have played into plans, report says By Bryan Bender, Globe Staff  |  October 11, 2004 WASHINGTON -- The ''shock and awe" attack that toppled Saddam Hussein in three weeks is often touted as a brilliant strategy that defeated Iraq with relatively few US casualties. But new information suggests that the United States may have played into Hussein's plans for a quick war followed by a long guerrilla insurgency. The report last week of the Iraq Survey Group, based partly on interviews with captured leaders of the secretive Iraqi regime, said Hussein planned to...

Asked in an interview with Egypt TV if Syria "should be held accountable" for the Beersheba bombings, which killed 16 and wounded dozens, Armitage said, "Why not? Syria holds and houses Hamas. Syria is a conduit of weapons from Iran to Hizbullah....

    Suicide bombings not against Islam Dr Nazari Ismail Aug 2, 04 4:35pm I refer to Dr Mazeni Alwi’s article Live, don't die for Islam (July 22). Let me begin first by stating that I think I can understand where Mazeni is coming from and have no doubt as regards to his sincerity and his concern for the Palestinians. However, I have serious misgivings on many of his viewpoints. Muslims live and die for Islam. Both are equally important and need to be emphasised. During the ‘iftitah’ or opening supplication read by Muslims during their five daily prayers, Muslims say ‘Verily,...

    Unacceptable. Unjust. Extraordinary offering from Rabbi Danny Gordis A couple of years ago, our office started using a new driver. The previous one, it turns out, couldn't make a living when the tourists abandoned the country, and left for the States. My secretary told me about Shlomo, the new driver, right before I was to get picked up for a drive to a meeting, and I didn't think much of the news. I got in the cab, sat in the back, introduced myself to Shlomo (who appeared to be in his mid-fifties) and told him where I was going. We...

    Two Tanzim fugitives arrested in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus led soldiers to a hidden bag containing 15 kilograms of explosives that they planned to use in an attack in Israel. Palestinian reports said the two were brothers and identified them as Ahmad Abu Lail, 25, and Amjad Abu Lail, 23. Officers noted that the Muhammad Za'al, the suicide bomber in Sunday's attack – in which eight people were killed – used five kilograms of explosives. Smarting from criticism over Sunday's attack, officers declared that it only takes one attack for the public to lose their perspective. "Unfortunately, the...

    GLOBAL JIHAD Official Egyptian paper:Killing kids OKSays Palestinian suicide attacks should be blamed on Israelis Posted: February 5, 20045:00 p.m. Eastern © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com An editorial in an Egyptian government newspaper asserted suicide bombings are legitimate even if children are killed. The daily Al-Masaa praised suicide operations, calling on Palestinian organizations to not publish the names of the bombers so that their families' houses would not be demolished, according a translation provided by the Washington, D.C.-based monitor Middle East Media Research Institute. The editorial came amid debate in the Arab media over the dispatching of a mother by the Palestinian terrorist group...

    The two suicide bombings in Irbil that news reports say killed 56 people and wounded 235, "speaks volumes about what these extremists are all about," said Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz here today. Wolfowitz is visiting Iraq to see how the rotation of forces is going. He said that suicide bombers attacked the headquarters of two Kurdish political parties. The terrorists attacked precisely at a time when people were gathered to celebrate one of the holiest days in the Muslim calendar – the Eid al Adha. The deputy secretary made his comments while touring an Iraqi police station. "(The extremists)...

It's time to carve up the turkey. It is, however, customary to kill the bird and drain its lifeblood before serving it.

    In the past ten days, the Shin Bet and IDF forces succeeded in thwarting seven potential suicide bomb attacks in Israel, including a double suicide bomb attack that was to have taken place in Beit She'an, and a car bomb attack in Israel. The security establishment registered 41 warnings of plans by terrorists to perpetrate attacks on Wednesday, a security official told The Jerusalem Post, noting that the majority of the warnings received related to potential suicide bomb attacks. "People should not be misguided by the supposed calm," the official said, noting that the terrorist infrastructure in the West Bank...
