| Arab nationals shooting down Russian school children. Jihad's Serial Killers Inc. has shown its true evil, once again. SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM Monday, September 6th, 2004 Russian investigators said Arab operatives linked to Al Qaida played a major role in the takeover of a Russian school in which 400 people were killed. Russian officials said authorities have determined that 10 of the 32 suicide attackers who took over a high school in Beslan in North Ossetia last week were nationals from several Arab countries. Most of the attackers were Chechens and Ingush who had been trained at Al Qaida camps in Afghanistan. The 10 Arab nationals came from Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria, officials said. They said security forces seized notebooks in Arabic in the school taken over by insurgents. Officials said survivors told authorities that some of the captors spoke Arabic during the three-day hostage ordeal. All of the captors were said to have been killed, but three accomplices were arrested, Middle East Newsline reported. The Arab nationals were said to have been recruited in the Middle East and hosted by Shamil Basayev, head of the Chechen insurgency and aligned with Al Qaida. "We're hoping to release additional information over the next few days," an official said. "But precise details will require cooperation from our allies." The officials said the attackers were trained in Al Qaida camps in Afghanistan and financed by Abu Omar Al Seif, regarded as a leading Al Qaida operative and the organization's representative in Chechnya. Al Seif, identified as the chief Islamic ideologue in the Chechen insurgency, was brought to Chechnya in 1995 by Saudi national Samir Saleh Abdullah Al Suwailem, known as Abu Khattab. Abu Khattab was said to have been killed in 2002. |

| #3 Yes indeed, very correct, 'consequences of biblical proportion' shall be forthcoming since deliberately plotting the mass murder of school children can not be allowed to stand without severe retaliations to state sponsors of this form of jihadic promoted bloodbaths. In addition, once Iran's ruling cutthroats are ousted. and Tehran's massive OPEC oil profits to spread their version of jihad is halted, hopefully within a few months after Bush is re-elected, the other instigators of terror within the 'Iranian Shi'ite Axis' will be on their own and easier to deal with in a lasting solution, i.e., Syria-Lebanon. The other main jihad exporter is of course Wahhabi cult controlled Saudi Arabia. The political & geostrategic will to tackle this job must come from Bush himself and let existing crude oil agreements be dammed, since massive amounts of Saudi oil export profits are funded back to the very terrorist cells & world-wide 'Islamic centre's which have a stated goal to exterminate U.S. Allowing the current Wahhabi dictatorship to carry on as usual is tantamount to eventual self destruction, even if the Iranian Axis is swiftly dealt with. The Russian school massacre should be a wake up call for further meaningful unity to counter the terrorist horde coupled with any and all Muslim, and or, non Muslim governments, as in (Cuba-North Korea-Venezuela), which have been lending various forms of state sponsored 'assistance' from illegal arms, diamonds and narcotics trading. |

| #1 who'da thunk it? ROPma adherents and Lions of the Desert™ ranging so far from home? Syria/Lebanon, Saudi, Iran, and to a lesser extent, Jordan, are setting themselves up for consequences of biblical proportion. |
