----- Original Message ----- Sat 13 Oct 2001 telegraph.co.uk Why France lived in fear of 'Londonistan' By Sean O'Neill Terrorist recruitment and fundraising by Islamic militants centred on a London mosque were ignored for years by the British security services, a former Special Branch informant claimed yesterday. Naturally, the British security services will be using the current climate of terror to cry out for even more intrusive powers to spy on goDog&EveryBody, in order to gather an even larger database of information to ignore until it is too late...

Since his first arrest in 1995 for possession of the plague virus, Harris has been aggressively peddling his martrydom throughout central Ohio. As a result, Columbusites know exactly what a working bio-war lab looks like. It's the overcrowded kitchen of a white-shingled bungalow three blocks from downtown Lancaster.... (Harris - quoted)..."Everything I told you about biologicals last spring is still true," he told a reporter, "except for one thing. I said the militias didn't have their own biologicals. Now, they do."... (background to this story) Mimi Morris and Michael Weber are investigative journalists based in Columbus. They are associate producers for "The War Within the States," a documentary on the far right anti-government movement currently in development by James Neff Productions for Oregon Public Broadcasting.

And to some terrorism experts, that's a lot scarier than Saddam Hussein. BY JEFF STEIN | Call him Dr. Death. (most text removed for brevity - a specifically interesting part however follows) ...Coincidentally, the Pentagon planned to start making a training film Friday on handling anthrax for local police, fire and medical units. Anthrax is easy to make, the Pentagon found more than 30 years ago, when it conducted secret experiments to see if non-scientists could assemble biological weapons from textbooks and readily available materials, Salon has learned. "There were studies in the '50s and '60s where they took people who were not microbiologists and not engineers that showed they could very successfully carry out things," a government source said. "They had two tasks before them: They had to create a biological weapon, and they had to disperse it. And they could do it." Thomas Dashiell, who in 1988 retired as director of the Pentagon's Environmental and Life Sciences office, said he knew of Pentagon studies in the 1970s that tried to determine how easy it would be for non-experts to manufacture poisonous weapon, based on publicly available literature. "And yes, there was no question about it," Dashiell told Salon. "In fact, there was a report that said, 'Oh, yeah.'" The Pentagon quickly suppressed the study, Dashiell said. "It was an unclassified research effort," he said. "However, the final report was immediately classified, because they did not want to give a cookbook to every terrorist in the country." ... ----------------------- OTHER RESEARCH MATERIALS: Search of- Anthrax vaccine Y1999 http://nl12.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SR&p_theme=sr&p_ac…"Anthrax%20vaccine"&s_dispstring=Anthrax%20vaccine%20AND%20date(1999)&p_field_date-0=YMD_date&p_params_date-0=date:B,E&p_text_date-0=1999&p_perpage=25&p_sort=YMD_date:D&xcal_useweights=no Article 1 of 1, Article ID: 9910130051 Published on October 13, 1999 NEW ANTHRAX VACCINE STUDIES LIKELY CONGRESS CONCERNED ABOUT RECRUITMENT Congress is likely to order two new studies of the vaccine being used by the military to protect U.S. troops against anthrax.Lawmakers are suggesting the Pentagon is ``less than forthcoming'' when it says reaction to the shots was small and they have no impact on troop readiness.But a joint House-Senate committee has rejected a proposal by U.S. Rep.

Very important question: Is Mr. bin Laden a leftie?
by Dr. Evil 13 Oct '01

13 Oct '01

I have the impression, from the small number of photos and videos that I have seen, that Mr. bin Laden may be sinister, in the literal sense of the word. Does anyone have information on this? This leads to the obvious question: if you're firing an AK left-handed, how do you avoid getting brass stuck in your beard? The curious want to know.
