| India issues stark terror warning |

| We often mock the sheer amatuerishness of the jihadis, but this strikes me as likely to be correct and something we need to take notice of. Well trained jihadis attacking subway/underground trains. etc, are a whole different ballgame. Speaking at a security conference in Bahrain, Mr Narayanan said new al-Qaeda training schools had been established close to the Afghan-Pakistan border. He said Indian intelligence reports had also identified the recruits as being from 14 different countries. He said their targets also included high profile politicians. Economic infrastructure in the Gulf region, such as oil pipelines and storage depots, electricity pylons and ocean going tankers are also at risk, said Mr Narayanan. International brigade The training of recruits, he said, had become extremely rigorous and the Gulf Arab states were highly vulnerable to such threats. Referring to what he called "asymmetric war techniques" - the practice of attacking a more powerful enemy's weak spots - India's security adviser said the region faced a new paradigm of al-Qaeda-inspired terrorism through its extensive network of planning, funding, training and arms supply. The training schools, he said, were turning out a new international brigade of terrorists. |

| #2 the Indians have some of the best if not the best Humint in Pakland, so I take their public warnings [open media] more seriously than any other Nation's warning including our own. Sounds like the Indians may have the Camps dialed in also. we'll have to wait for John to fill us in.. The problems with dirt and mud terrorist facilities for us is that everyone's digs in WazooLand is mud and rocks, and you'll agree that mud and dirt are easy to abandon because new ones can be readily piled up somewheres else. al-Aska Paul ima gonna add Jihadi-bots to me argot. thankee.. btw when are thee gonna add hard points to yer High Wing 172? Ima ready and good to go..look out bots!! /~:) |

| #1 From discussions on counterterrorism blogs, I recall that it is estimated that the Saudi Wahhabists are financing about 20,000 madarassas worldwide. Say 50 to 100 students per site, we are talking about 1 million to 2 million Jihadi-bots enrolled, a staggering number. If the Saudis only supported about 2000 madarassas, we are still talking 100 to 200K bots. Therefore, it seems to me that the source of the funding for the madarassas need to go, otherwise we are treating the problem symptomatically. This will not happen right now because many of our si-called leaders in the administration and congress, as well as in academia have become Saudi money 'hos. |
