#1 I live in Texas, and while I have not been paying close attention to the print or TV lately I have not heard of even an industrial accident at any Texas refinery. I will check out Niches. Anyway, the story about some "lone gunman" killing 25 troops is really unbelieveable as the lack of shooting skills by these clowns was amply demonstrated during the war. Al-Qaeda is sounding desparate trying to prove it can hurt the US, despite 1.5 years of no attacks on US soil and our victories in Afghanistan and Iraq. Quess they hope it will be believed by the "Arab Street".

#2 KFMD appears to be a Denver FM station, rather than a Texas television station. Islammessage.com is a religious site with a "weekly message" content. It looks like it was designed by the same web designer who did Taliban On-Line, which has been defunct lately. Alshorouq.org is in Arabic. It appears to be a news site.

#3 I looked around the net, KFMD is a radio station in Denver CO. There is no town of "Niches" in Texas. And I misspelled my name last post as Rifke, it is Rifle, sigh.
And Fred beat me to the punch...

#5 In refinery news, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P.'s oil off-loading operations were reportedly restarting Thursday (22 May) at the company's Nederland, Texas, terminal after a natural gas pipeline explosion late Tuesday (20 May)caused a fire and power outage that shut down the facility.
This is the only oil fire in Texas on that date. We have so many no one noticed.
