| The leader of Arab mercenaries who operate in Chechnya, Abu al Valid, says terrorist acts will be conducted in other Russian regions as well, with attacks made on Russian military facilities situated in "Russia’s Islamic republics." Qatar TV channel Al Jazeera received a copy of the tape with al Valid’s speech. Al-Valid = Abu Walid. Looks like he’s taking a page out of his boss’s book by sending tapes to al-Jazeera. Al Jazeera claims Abu al Valid made this speech at a session of a council of Chechen militants even before the beginning of Moslems’ lent Ramadan. Abu al Valid acknowledged that Chechen militants use female suicide bombers to perpetrate acts of terrorism. Local Learned Elders of Islam, I’m guessing. Anybody shocked about his admission? |

| #4 The money source is definitely SA, and possibly Iran. The sooner SA gets shut off the better the world will be. This is insane for the western world to be funding its own destruction. And horribly frustrating to see our troops killed with Saudi and Iranian (plus Baathist) petrodollars. |

| #3 Seems there is a strong bipolar struggle bettween Iranian interests and SA. Both trying to win the hearts and minds of the ummah. SA with their madrassa's, daycare facilities, and jihadi recruiting vs Iran with their bomb builders and revolutionaries. Funny how the two seem to be so opposite. An Iranian public somwhat wanting freedom(?) and SA with a public that is whacko. But both lead by paranoids |

| #2 Al Qaeda does seem to be re-energized. Maybe the check they got from Shoddy Arabia cleared, maybe Iranian Mullahs. Whomever it is , it is clear they are on the attack. |
