Fifteen dead and scores injured in a suicide bombing in eastern Algeria: Algeria suicide attack aimed at president kills 15.

ALGIERS (AFP) - A suicide bomber killed 15 people and injured 74 in an assassination attempt in eastern Algeria against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, national television reported.

Bouteflkika appeared on television just after the bomb attack near a mosque in the city of Batna to denounce the attackers as “criminals” and vow to pursue his national reconciliation policy.

The North African nation is still recovering from a civil war in the 1990s that left more than 150,000 dead.

The suicide bomber struck only five months after attacks claimed by Al-Qaeda’s offshoot in North Africa which killed at least 43 people and injured scores.

OT, FOX
1. Fox carried the MEMRI piece about SiteGenie hosting a site dedicated to recruiting terrorists and training them to attack military bases in the US. Posted but not threaded here, I believe.

Fox announced that the Fort Dix trial will have a secret jury. Very unusual; Could it be that they're afraid of ... Stan!

Yeah, I worry that we're at the 20 minutes too late mark. As it stands now, there is going to have to be lots of bloodshed before it gets any better, if it ever does...

LAGOS, Nigeria — U.S. and other Western installations are at risk of terrorist attack in Africa's most-populous nation, and U.S. citizens should exercise vigilance in the West African nation, the U.S. Embassy said Thursday.
Nigeria, which has never suffered an attack by an international terrorist organization, is a top supplier of foreign oil for the United States, which is seeking alternative sources of crude amid turmoil in the Middle East

"Civil war"? Are they kidding? It was more like the nightly Islamist bloodbath where "devout" Muslims would take over entire towns and villages and slaughter the entire population while they slept.

And during this horrifying time the Muslim world was... oh, yeah: the Muslim world didn't give a damn.

CAIR-OHIO Board member: Palestinian Terrorists are "Guerrilla Groups"

Last week, CAIR-OH board member Norma Tarazi (who is also an official for the Islamic Society of Greater Columbus and a teacher at the Sunrise Academy Islamic school) was publicly speculating on the activities of the "Jewish lobby" and "Jewish community activists" in Central Ohio.

This week, Tarazi has said in an email distributed on a private email listserv and obtained by COAT that Palestinian terrorists are "guerrilla groups".

The Columbus Dispatch letter to the editor published in its Sunday edition Tarazi is responding to, "Israel within rights to protect itself", said:

I respond to the Aug. 20 letter "Authorities should not advocate violence," from [CAIR national vice chairman] Ahmad Al-Akhras . He seems to have a double standard: It's OK for Hamas to throw rockets into Israel at civilian targets, but not OK for Israel to retaliate against that terrorist group, whose aim is to destroy the Jewish state...

On Sunday, Tarazi circulated her thoughts on this most recent exchange, engaging in even more moral equivalence between accepted methods of warfare between nation-states and terrorist activities by Palestinians. She responds by stating that these terrorist organizations are "guerrilla groups" and are engaged in legitimate resistance.

In his authoritative book on guerrilla warfare, Insurgency and Terrorism: Inside Modern Revolutionary Warfare, Bard O'Neill distinguishes guerrilla campaigns from terrorist activity in that "its primary targets are the government's armed forces, police, or their superior units, and in some cases, key economic targets, rather than unarmed civilians." (p. 26)

When HAMAS and Palestinian Islamic Jihad sends suicide bombers into a crowded pizza parlor or a city bus; or as we saw this past weekend, fires a missile into a day care center compound; they are not engaging in guerrilla tactics but terrorism. It is profoundly troubling that CAIR officials continue to miss this crucial difference and attempt to paint terrorism as legitimate resistance. Isn't this unqualified equivalence between warfare and terrorism that CAIR officials desperately profess they don't make, and yet resort to almost constantly when pressed on this point?

These emails were provided to COAT by concerned members of the Muslim community tired of having CAIR representing them publicly.

[Full letter reprinted at COAT]

The Algerian fundamentalists were one of Bin Ladens first attempts to overthrow " corrupt, westernised " muslim governments. Opponents escaped to France, who trained them to return and infiltrate the organisations.
They worked along the lines of :- Hey, Ahmed, how many childrens throats have you cut this week ? " What, only twenty ? "
"That's nothing, Salim up the road did forty. "
They basically ended up going for each other in a big way. This must be a new bunch.

The problem is that New Zealand is the only land mass that had no native mammel species except a small bat, before the arrival of man. Any land based mammal is, technically, a threat to the native bird life, many of which are flightless and require protection predator. Goats and deer eat native flora that will, when mature, provide vital food in the form of seeds and berries etc.

Possums, which are estimated to number summit like 70,000,000 in New Zealand, chew their way through 7,000 tons of green matter every night...

Apart from humanitarian concerns - WHAT IS THE DOWNSIDE? The French WILL intervene if they think their interests are compromised, especially with Sarkozy as Monsieur Le President. Chaos is a natural result of Islamic/Islamist government where there is ANY opposition. Apart from Natural Gas - what does Algeria produce that the world wants to buy? Qua'rans? The French abandoned Algeria by the early 1960's. They have had their Independence for 40+ years NOW DO SOMETHING USEFUL WITH IT!

Yep, way too common, these little buggers have no natural enemy here in NZ other than man and so they thrive. An import from Oz back in the late 1800's, for the fur trade, they soon took off because, unlike Australia, we have no snakes.

Why are politicians so afraid of the "T" word. Yes, technically the suicide bombers would be criminals, but the word terrorist is more specific and accurate. Let's call these sub-human jihadists what they are: TERRORISTS.
