<h3>Authorities Arrest (Egyptian) Men With NYC Maps, Video</h3>

ABC News ^ | 7/26/2005 | Richard Esposito

 

July 26, 2005 — Five Egyptian men with maps of the New York City subway system and video of New York landmarks have been arrested by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark, N.J., ABC News has learned.

 

FBI and law enforcement officials told ABC News the five men — four illegal immigrants and one law enforcement fugitive — were arrested Sunday night following a tip to the Newark Police Department. In addition to the subway maps and video, the men had train schedules and $8,000 in $20 and $50 bills.

I would disappear them immediately.

 

Hey RandOM, right after the first London attack on the seventh I had a series of what I believe to be premonitions. Very freaky as I am not normally prone to such. I will no longer travel to the city by that tube again.

I pray that you are wrong, but I have always worried about that tube. Sometimes I would even travel to the City by the bus to save a couple bucks, but it was really anxiety about being under the Bay if an earthquake hit.... /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

but you can't hide from your karma. I pray that when my time comes, it is quick and without too much pain, and that I may remember the lotus feet of Krishna as I go...

 

yet... sometimes our dreams are a sign from Krishna to act in a certain way. Good luck! I live out in the country so I care little about attacks on the cities. but every day I see death smiling at me at every turn of the road... I just smile back /images/graemlins/smile.gif ...patience grasshopper, patience....

The tube never bothered me as I rarely even thought about it. I feel it is on some terrorist radar. Creepy feeling. I always liked the ferry anyway. I am not too easily shaken. I flew to India two weeks after 9/11. Soldiers with m-16's in Singapore airport didn't disturb me. But I can't shake this weird feeling about the tube.

I know I can't hide but I figure I don't have to run right into it either.

 

Yeah this came in the waking state. Very different, very pronounced. I'm no longer traveling that route. I too hope it was just all in my mind.

 

I'm trying to smile back at death too but so far all I can manage is a kinda grimace. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Check this insightful article out:

 

<h4>The Jihadists' War on Tourism</h4>

 

Call it the terrorists' War on Tourism -- a war waged by jihadists that long predates 9-11, Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

Last week's terror attacks on Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh resorts left nearly 90 dead. The attacks also sent an economic and political shockwave throughout the rest of Egypt.

 

Jihadist terrorists wage a war to create and maintain poverty. In Egypt, damaging the tourist industry does just that. Tourists climbing the Pyramids, sailing on the Nile and sipping coffee in Cairo are a source of very good jobs.

 

In 1992, the jihadists launched an "insurrection" against the Egyptian government, and the tourist industry was an immediate target. Since 1992, there have been at least 15 major attacks on tourists -- an advertising campaign of high explosive and bullets designed to undermine the Egyptian economy.

 

For example, in 1993, jihadists targeted Cairo's Tahrir Square, killing a Swede, a Turk and an Egyptian. Eighteen were injured. In 1997, six terrorists massacred 58 foreign tourists (many of them Germans) and four Egyptians in an attack at Luxor's Temple of Hatshepsut. Islamist extremists argue that "pagan" temples desecrate Muslim lands, so if the jihadists ever take power in Egypt, Luxor might be razed. Don't laugh -- the Taliban blew up the Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.

 

Here's a sketch of the terrorists' counter-tourism strategy: Attacks on foreign visitors guarantee instant international headlines, especially in the visitors' home nations. All terrorist attacks are designed to sow doubt in the local government's ability to protect lives, property and businesses, but the tourist industry is a very international industry and attacking it is an easy way to discourage international investment.

 

These attacks also isolate and impoverish individuals who work in tourist industries -- people who tend to be multilingual and aware that "foreigners aren't devils."

 

Jihadist assaults on tourists aren't confined to the Middle East. The October 2002 Bali nightclub terror blasts killed 202 people. Suddenly, Bali's hotels were empty and thousands of Indonesians were without paychecks. Jemaah Islamiya -- Al Qaeda's Southeast Asian "subsidiary" -- took credit for that attack.

 

A year later, Jemaah Islamiya detonated a car bomb outside Jakarta's Marriott Hotel and killed 12 people. Abu Sayyaf -- another Al Qaeda affiliate -- has kidnapped tourists visiting the Philippines and Malaysia. Terror attacks launched against visitors in predominantly Muslim countries, however, aren't solely aimed at bikini-clad Swedes skin-diving in the Red Sea or Germans examining Egyptian ruins. Jihadists also slaughter Muslim pilgrims, when it suits their political and media interests.

 

A pilgrim is a religious visitor, and in the Middle East pilgrims are big business -- just ask your travel agent.

 

In November 1979, Islamist terrorists belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood attacked Mecca's Grand Mosque. The terrorists planned to launch a religious-based revolt against the Saudi government. Even if it failed to ignite a popular revolution, the 1979 attack had an information objective: It would demonstrate Saudi weakness by sending the message that the Saud regime wasn't capable of protecting Mecca and other Muslim holy sites.

 

There is some evidence that a relative of Osama bin Laden helped organize the 1979 Mecca attack. The attack didn't start a revolt, but it did produce a bitter siege. Several Middle Eastern political analysts say the Saudis' ultimate counter-attack was a reasonably successful military operation, but a political disaster.

 

The Saudis know pilgrims matter. When Al Qaeda set off bombs in Riyadh in November 2003, the Saudis reinforced Mecca with 5,000 soldiers and police to protect the 2.5 million Muslims visiting during Ramadan.

 

Subsequently, the Saudis discovered an Al Qaeda cell in Mecca. Two of the terrorists blew themselves up to evade capture. Saudi police feared the terrorists were planning to attack a festival celebrating the end of Ramadan.

 

The jihadists are at war with Muslims and with Muslim countries. Their war, with Muslim pilgrims as pawns, began before the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan and long before the United States invaded Iraq. This past Sunday, 1,000 Egyptians in Sharm el-Sheikh demonstrated against terrorism. The Christian Science Monitor reported the demonstrators chanted: "There is no God but God; terrorism is the enemy of God."

 

Amen.

Silverstein admitted on tape he wanted & ordered all WTC demolished in order to collect his cool $7 bil.

U guys r so far off base. Unbelievable.

 

 

If this is true then why isn't Silverstein in prison for the murders of thousands of innocent victims?

 

How much did he have to pay the airlines to demolish their planes in the process of demolishing the buildings?

 

Is Silverstein financing all the bombings etc around the world?

 

Where the heck do you come up with this stuff?

 

I think you fell off your base. Or are you joking? Yeah, that's it. You are kidding.

this is from a respectable site of 9/11 survivers and their families:

 

http://www.letsroll911.org/articles/controlleddemolition.html

 

you should read it. Silverstein used (without any doubt) the phrase: "Pull it!" in regards to building WTC7. Shortly after that the building #7 collapsed (btw: killing several secret service agents who stayed there after evacuation) as if by controlled demolition. "Pulling" normally refers to pulling something down by explosion. It is very likely that all WTC buildings were demolished in that way, and the entire 9/11 was a staged event.

What would be the point? To excuse our going after Bin Laden and gang? Who needed more of a reason then what was already given? The embassy bombings, the airline hijackings and bombings, the attack on the Cole, the Marines in Bekka valley.

 

People try to connect this to Bush yet what gain was it for him. A massive hit on the economy etc. never a good thing for a presidency.

 

The USA doesn't require world approval to act.

 

I don't shy away from conspiracy theories. I hold some far out ones from alien encounters to an on-going plan to decimate the world's population down to less then one billion and total control after that.

 

But this one makes no sense.

anybody who thinks US population would support attacking Iraq without something like 9/11 is delusional.

 

as to holocaust - it certainly happened (as in: a lot of Jews died in WW2) - what is disputed by some are the actual numbers and methods. but that has nothing to do with the current topic.
