"Bin Laden, on audiotape, calls for a coup in Somalia" by Elizabeth A. Kennedy, Associated Press | March 20, 2009
NAIROBI - Osama bin Laden urged Somalis yesterday to overthrow their new president, issuing a statement that clearly outlines Al Qaeda's ambitions in a nation long feared to be a haven for the terrorist network.
Bin Laden's 11-minute audiotape was entirely focused on Somalia, an impoverished African country that has been in chaos for nearly two decades, torn apart by warlords and Islamic militant groups. In January its parliament elected President Sheik Sharif Sheik Ahmed, a moderate Islamist, in hopes that he would unify the country's factions.
Please see my Somalia tags for the real truth.
"I think people who were skeptical that Al Qaeda has ambition in Somalia will now have to think twice," Rashid Abdi, an analyst at the International Crisis Group think tank in Nairobi said.
And CUI BONO, 'eh?
US counterterrorism officials have warned of Al Qaeda's growing ties with the powerful al-Shabab group, which frequently battles government troops and militia allies and attacks African Union peacekeepers in the country. Last year the US State Department added al-Shabab to its list of terrorist organizations.... Ahmed's election as president has been welcomed by the United Nations and Washington.
Then WHY did the U.S. USE ETHIOPIA to DEPOSE HIM THREE YEARS AGO? We could have AVOIDED all this DESTRUCTION and DEATH!
His predecessor, Abdullahi Yusuf, resigned in December over his failure to stop the Islamic insurgency. He went into exile. In the audiotape, bin Laden....
You don't need to see that.
The once-beautiful seaside capital, Mogadishu, is now a gun-blasted shantytown. The lawlessness gripping the nation of 9.5 million people also has allowed piracy to flourish offshore in the Gulf of Aden, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Another CUI BONO?
Ahmed, a moderate from the Islamic opposition, has succeeded in drawing several other groups out of the insurgency. The aim is to isolate hard-line militants, particularly al-Shabab, which controls much of the country and has been blamed for imposing a harsh brand of Islam on the regions it controls. Rights groups say a 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death last year after militants accused her of adultery.
Yeah, yeah.... forgive me if I no longer believe the Zionist War Daily's Muslim-hating propaganda and lies, 'kay?
In the audiotape, bin Laden lashes out at Ahmed, calling him a turncoat and a tool of the United States.
Had enough fooley?

"Dearth of technical experts leaves US open to cyber attack, panel says" by Jeff Bliss, Bloomberg | March 20, 2009
Yeah, some bloggers are keen to that false-flag op: Blood and Excrement... the Movie. Coming Soon
WASHINGTON - - The United States isn't producing enough engineers and technicians to combat the growing threat to government and business computer networks, a panel of security experts said yesterday.
Limitations on visas for foreign students and the attraction of careers in finance and law have contributed to the dearth in computer-security authorities, the analysts told the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
It never, ever, stops, booga, booga, booga, BOO!!!!!!
So they want to SHUT DOWN the INTERNET, huh?
Doesn't matter. Knowledge genie not going back into the lamp.
"We are not portraying an image that this is an exciting career path," said Eugene Spafford, executive director of the Purdue University Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security.
US government and private computer networks were breached 37,000 times during fiscal 2007, compared with 24,000 break-ins the previous year, according to a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington policy group. Attacks on federal computer systems more than doubled to 12,986 in 2007 from 5,143, it said.

Of the 50 to 60 computer-security doctorates the United States produces annually, only 15 to 20 ultimately teach in this country, in part because of visa limitations on foreign students, Spafford said.
Keep the ILLEGAL terrorists OUT, will ya?
Terrorists, criminals, and foreign-government agents are gaining trade and national security secrets daily, lawmakers and the computer authorities said.
Pfffft! What, they getting to learn some 9/11 Truth?
"Our enemies are real, they are sophisticated, they are determined, and they will not rest," said Senator Jay Rockefeller, the West Virginia Democrat who heads the panel.
Well, if you are referring to the traitorous dual national Israelis, that's one thing, but if not, pffffffftttt!!!!
In particular, there are few people who are knowledgeable about computer vulnerabilities in water and power plants, said Joseph Weiss, managing partner of Applied Control Solutions LLC, in California.
That the next false-flag target?
"There are less than 100 people who truly know and understand control systems cyber security," he said. Rockefeller said he and Senator Olympia Snowe, a Maine Republican, will introduce legislation by the end of this month that would create scholarships to encourage more students to major in computer security.
Sig Heil!

"US Navy submarine and ship collide in Persian Gulf; Crash sparks sudden rise in oil prices" by Reem Khalifa, Associated Press | March 21, 2009
Think Iran, U.S., Israel, and Mossad false-flag, folks!!!
MANAMA, Bahrain - Two US Navy vessels - a nuclear-powered submarine and an amphibious ship - collided before dawn yesterday in the mouth of the Persian Gulf, one of the world's most important sea passages for oil supplies.
So when hostilities really break out you will think, "oh, yeah, I heard about stuff going on there."
There was no damage to the submarine's nuclear propulsion system and no disruption to shipping in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world's oil passes, said Navy spokesman Lieutenant Nate Christensen, with the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet.
Still, the unusual collision between members of the same navy sparked a sudden rise in oil prices - which had been declining on the day - even though the strait remained open....
Huh. CUI BONO, 'eh?
Still, with pressure pulling prices down in the financial crisis, the rise was nowhere near what would have been expected months ago, when such a collision would probably have sent prices skyrocketing....
A ruptured fuel tank resulted in an oil spill of about 25,000 gallons of diesel fuel....
But NO BIG DEAL!! It's only Arabs, Persians, and Muslims that live nearby!!
Military analyst Loren Thompson of the US-based Lexington Institute said a collision between two vessels in the world's most sophisticated navy is nearly unheard of. It's more common for ships of different navies to collide, or military vessels and commercial ships, he said....
Which REALLY MAKES YOU WONDER, sniff!
The two ships were on regularly scheduled deployments to the region and conducting security operations, the Navy said. The Hartford is based in Groton, Conn., and the New Orleans is based in San Diego. Like all US submarines, the Hartford is nuclear powered. The New Orleans is an amphibious transport dock ship.
As much as 17 million barrels of oil a day went through the narrow strait in the first half of 2008, or about 40 percent of all seaborne traded oil or 20 percent of all oil traded globally.
Yes, don't forget that important goo, 'murkns -- EVER!!!!

Why don't we stay with the propaganda against Iran (maybe that will help you decide your vote in my poll):
WASHINGTON - An Irish trading company and three of its officers have been charged with sending helicopter engines and other aircraft parts to Iran, according to an indictment unsealed yesterday in federal court.
The 25-count indictment charges Mac Aviation of Drumcliffe in County Sligo, Ireland, and the officers of buying the components from US companies and sending them to Iran through other countries, such as Malaysia.
What, Israel not running the stuff like in the 1980s?
The Justice Department says the recipients included an Iranian military firm, Iran Aircraft Manufacturing Industrial Company, that the United States has designated as a "weapons of mass destruction proliferator" for its involvement in Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile program.
What program? See: Another Irritating Headline About Iran
Justice Department officials said they are seeking the arrest and deportation of the three Irishmen - company owner Tom McGuinn, 72; his son Sean McGuinn, 40, who is the sales director; and commercial manager Sean Byrne. The indictment says that in the three years before charges were filed under seal in July 2008, Mac Aviation bought US aircraft engines and parts while concealing that they were ultimately headed to customers in Iran.
The United States imposed sanctions against Iran soon after its 1979 Islamic revolution.

Bush Authorizes New Covert Action Against Iran
"[An] act of terrorism, means any activity that (A) involves a violent act or an act dangerous to human life that is a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any State, or that would be a criminal violation if committed within the jurisdiction of the United States or of any State; and (B) appears to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping."
"The hope that Iranians will blame their own government for their hardships, and that their complaints will influence the regime"
Are we CLEAR?
The LEAST you could do, 'bamer, is CALL OFF the AMERICAN TERRORISTS!!!!!!!
The indictment says the men violated the sanctions "by deceit, craft, trickery and dishonest means."
Israel does that stuff all the time and no one gives a hoot!
The indictment includes excerpts from e-mails allegedly sent between the Mac Aviation officials and their Iranian customers discussing the purchases and the need to hide the final destination.
You know, stuff USrael does to run its covert weapons rings all over the world.
The indictment charges each of the Mac Aviation officials with two counts of conspiracy, 19 counts of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and Iranian Transactions Regulations, four counts of false statements and forfeiture allegations.
If convicted, the defendants face a maximum sentence of 10 to 20 years in prison for each of the IEEPA counts, five to 20 years in prison for each of the conspiracy counts, and five years in prison for each of the false statement counts.
Doesn't seem right, my government charging someone else for making false statements.

"S. Koreans targeted in 2d Yemen attack; Bomber strikes investigators headed to airport" by Ahmed al-Haj, Associated Press | March 19, 2009
SAN'A, Yemen - A suicide bomber yesterday struck a convoy carrying South Korean officials sent to Yemen to investigate a bombing that killed four tourists from the country on Sunday.
The well coordinated attack was specifically designed to target the South Koreans, officials said. The suicide bombing on Sunday killed four South Korean tourists and their Yemeni driver at a historical site. No one was hurt in yesterday's attack, officials said.
Not even the "suicider?"
The South Korean Foreign Ministry confirmed the attack and said the convoy was also carrying relatives of the victims of Sunday's attack. They were in the country to recover the victims' bodies and were headed to the airport to return to South Korea when the bomber struck.
Yemen, an impoverished country in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, is Osama bin Laden's ancestral homeland and has long been a center of militant activity.
See what I mean about full circle?
A Yemeni security official said South Korea's ambassador to the country was also in the convoy hit yesterday, but in Seoul, the Foreign Ministry denied that. The bomber walked into the road between two of the vehicles and blew himself up as the convoy was traveling to the airport outside the capital, San'a, the Yemeni official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the press. The blast shattered the windows of the vehicles.

These attacks reek of their MO!
Yemeni authorities said Al Qaeda was behind Sunday's suicide bombing near the ancient fortress city of Shibam and that 12 suspects were arrested.
And we have heard nothing since.

Yemen Bombing Was a Mossad Operation
After that attack, South Korea instructed its overseas diplomatic missions to strengthen security measures and said it would set up a body to consult with Middle East countries and other nations prone to attacks to exchange information on terrorism. The South Korean ambassador met later yesterday with Yemen's foreign and interior ministers.
At a briefing in Washington, State Department spokesman Robert Wood called the two attacks "very troubling." The US Embassy in Yemen yesterday said on its website that embassy personnel had been advised to limit their travel and warned American citizens in the country to exercise caution.
