"Turkish commandos capture 5 pirates" by Associated Press | July 25, 2009
"Several pirate attacks still occur off Somalia’s lawless coast each week"
As I have stated many times, when was the last time you heard about pirates?
What it tells you is mission accomplished: MSM agenda-pushing has resulted in NATO and the West patrolling this vital shipping lane. The fact that these guys are STILL OPERATING means they are being PROTECTED by US!
ANKARA, Turkey - Turkish commandos captured five pirates in the Gulf of Aden yesterday as part of an international mission to curb piracy off the coast of Somalia, the military said.
Navy commandos aboard the Turkish frigate TCG Gediz, part of a NATO patrol, raided the skiff after a request to block it before it could attack a ship, Brigadier General Metin Gurak said. A Navy helicopter aboard a second frigate, the TCP Gaziantep, also took part in the operation.
Gurak did not provide details on what ship the pirates allegedly planned to attack. Several pirate attacks still occur off Somalia’s lawless coast each week despite poor weather and the presence of international warships in the gulf. At least 11 ships are still being held.
Somali pirates seized a Turkish ship, the Horizon-1, with 23 crew earlier this month, and negotiations for a ransom settlement are reportedly under way. The ship was carrying chemicals from Saudi Arabia to Jordan....

"Somali community to hold book fair
The Somali community will hold a book fair and lectures from 2 to 8:30 p.m. today at the Islamic Society of Boston on Malcom X Boulevard in Roxbury. More than 100 titles will be available, and the event will also feature lectures by noted authors, community leaders, and politicians. The book fair is the first in the area for a language that remained unwritten until the early 1970s, when the Somali government named it that nation’s official language and created an alphabet using Latin letters, according to the US Department of State. Massachusetts is home to thousands of refugees from Somalia.

FLASHBACK:
"Young Somali jihadists ‘radicalized’ while in US, federal investigators say; Joined Shabaab, group aligned with Al Qaeda" by Andrea Elliott, New York Times | July 12, 2009
Oh, HOW SWEET! A Jew York Times piece!
MINNEAPOLIS - They had fled Somalia as small boys, escaping a catastrophic civil war. They came of age as refugees in Minneapolis, becoming naturalized US citizens and embracing basketball and the prom, hip-hop, and the Mall of America. By the time they reached college, their dreams seemed within grasp: one planned to become a doctor; another, an entrepreneur.
But last year, in a study room on the first floor of Carlson, the men turned their energies to a different enterprise.
See: What Happens When You Don't Cooperate With The FBI
And follow my links (clap, clap), dear readers, follow my links (clap, clap), follow my links (clap, clap), follow my links (clap, clap), follow my links (clap, clap)!
In November, Hassan and two other students dropped out of college and left for Somalia, the homeland they barely knew. Word soon spread that they had joined the Shabaab, a militant Islamist group aligned with Al Qaeda that is fighting to overthrow the fragile Somali government.
The students are among more than 20 young Americans who are the focus of what may be the most significant domestic terrorism investigation since 9/11. One of the men, Shirwa Ahmed, blew himself up in Somalia in October, becoming the first known American suicide bomber. The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Robert S. Mueller III, has said Ahmed was “radicalized in his hometown in Minnesota.’’
Meanwhile the GLOBE is CELEBRATING Somalia terrorists, 'er, immigrants here in New England!
If "terrorism" were REAL and NOT a GOVERNMENT-SPONSORED, CREATED, and DIRECTED ENTERPRISE then they would ALL BE DEPORTED!
I don't even want to comment anymore because I'm sick of this puke shit passing as 'news" in the "jewspaper!"
An examination by The New York Times, based on interviews with close friends and relatives of the men, law enforcement officials, and lawyers, as well as access to live phone calls and Facebook messages between the men and their friends in the United States, reveals how a far-flung jihadist movement found a foothold in America’s heartland.
So BE SCARED, America!
Those "terrorists" could STRIKE ANYWHERE, at ANYTIME!!!
The men appear to have been motivated by a complex mix of politics and faith, and their communications show how some are trying to recruit other young Americans to their cause.
The case represents the largest group of US citizens suspected of joining an extremist movement affiliated with Al Qaeda. Although friends say the men have never thought of carrying out attacks in the United States, FBI officials worry that with their training, ideology, and US passports, there is a real danger that they could.
You know what else I heard?
INERT BOMBS will also BLOW UP and STEEL SKYSCRAPERS will fall into their own footprint at free-fall speed because of fire.
Most of the men are former Somali refugees who left the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul in two waves, starting in late 2007. While religious devotion may have predisposed them to sympathize with the Islamist cause in Somalia, it took a major geopolitical event - the Ethiopian invasion of Somalia in 2006 - to spur them to join what they saw as a legitimate resistance movement, said friends of the men.
Yup, COVER UP ALL U.S. INVOLVEMENT, you sacks of sh....!
Please see Slow Saturday Special: Ethiopia Reinvades Somalia and rememeber, link, link, clap, clap!
Yeah, that's right, they are STILL OCCUPYING the place even though you NEVER HEAR ABOUT SUCH things from the agenda-pushing MSM!
The case has forced federal agents and terrorism analysts to rethink some of their most basic assumptions about the vulnerability of Muslim immigrants in the United States to the lure of militant Islam. For years, it seemed that “homegrown’’ terrorism was largely a problem in European countries like Britain and France, where Muslim immigrants had failed to prosper economically or integrate culturally. By contrast, experts believed that the successful assimilation of foreign-born Muslims in the United States had largely immunized them from the appeal of radical ideologies.
So BE PREPARED for a WAVE of a CRACKDOWN coming up, Muslims of AmeriKa!
