Threat Message Outlines Attack Plans

According to a message posted early today on an Islamic web site, Islamic terrorists are reportedly preparing a “big operation” inside the U.S. The message outlines the length of time that has passed since the attacks of September 11, 2001 and that the American people had enough of an opportunity to reassess [our] values, way of life and support of “the crimes committed by [our] Government” but have failed to do so. The next attack, according to the message, promises to be strong and eclipse the events of September 11, 2001 in terms of economic and human losses.

Islamists target Christian journalist on website

Christian journalist Jeremy Reynalds has been targeted for killing by Islamists on the Al Ansar forum.

In a thread on the Houston-based site, the person who ran the now-defunct mawsuat.com site starts by blaming Reynalds for the site’s demise, posts a POBox address for Reynalds, and asks if anyone else has more information about him.

In the discussion that follows, the Islamists first post Reynald’s home address so that he might be “visited”, then a picture of him and a wish that his ribs should be broken, and finally they offer their prayers to Allah that He should deliver to them Reynald’s “fatty neck” – a clear reference to the current fad of decapitating anyone deemed to be a critic of the more lethal forms of Islam.

Terror Hoax Uncovers Border Threat

Sitting 120 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean, on the edge of a desert, this sprawling industrial city would seem an unlikely stop for Chinese migrants seeking to sneak across the U.S. border.

Only the small city of Calexico, Calif., sits across the brackish Colorado River in a sparsely populated farm region. Mountains rising to 4,000 feet stand in the way to California’s coast and its jobs in Asian restaurants and garment shops. Desert stretches eastward hundreds of miles.
