| Sudan Militants Threaten Attacks on Western Troops |
| 2004-07-25 |
| A group calling itself Mohammed's army on Sunday called on Muslims to prepare to fight Western forces sent on any mission to western Sudan, where the United Nations says the world's worst humanitarian crisis is unfolding. British Prime Minister Tony Blair has not ruled out military intervention in Darfur, where the U.S. Congress has labeled as genocide a campaign by Arab militias against black Africans. The United States has also circulated a draft U.N. resolution threatening sanctions against Khartoum if it does not prosecute the leaders of the militia. "We have seen and heard of the American and British interference in Darfur and there is no doubt that this is a crusader war that bears no relation to the citizens of Darfur," the previously unknown group said in a statement distributed at a central mosque in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. "We call upon you to speedily head toward Darfur and dig deep into the ground mass graves prepared for the crusader army," it added. Witness said young Sudanese men were handing out the statements to worshippers at the mosque. Australia said on Sunday it was likely to contribute troops to any U.N. peacekeeping mission in Darfur, where the U.N. says some 30,000 people have been killed and one million displaced. Many countries have called on Khartoum to disarm the Arab militias, known as Janjaweed. Britain's top commander has said he could send 5,000 troops to Sudan. |

| #5 Sudan Militants Threaten Attacks on Western Troops All the more reason to strafe the sh!t out of them with some AC-130H Spectres. Kinda hard to bring those birds down with small arms fire. Crazy Fool, you're on the money. Sudan's politicians all need a trip to the wall. I'd like to see a cluster of Tomahawks arrive for one of their full house government assemblies. |

| #3 Sudan's jihadists must be viewed as the same enemy we combat in Iraq, Afghanistan and soon Iran. |

| #2 Nobody there remembers or knows about the Battle of Omdurman. Must be time to teach them the lesson again. Too bad it only lasts 80 years or so. |

| #1 The Arabic for "Mohammed's Army," incidentally, is Jaish Mohammed. I think they've come up in conversation before. |
