Since most of us get lotsa e-mail, most of us are going to get Win32.Klez when the pop-up fires out of the preview window. Somebody gifted me the @mm version, which slimes the system, tries to mail itself to somebody else, and it drops Win32.Elkern, which'll hit every .exe file on the machine and any shared drives.
If you mailed me recently and I didn't answer, your message may have disappeared when I fdisked my laptop and my workstation. All McAfee was doing was deleting the infected files when it could.
I saved my server, I think - I'll be able to tell tomorrow - by going to www.bitdefender.com, where they have a free download that scrubs the system. I'm cheesed that I scrubbed two systems to the bone, but I'm glad if I managed to save the server and the Little Woman's laptop and my desktop at work...

The United States is deploying several hundred troops and helicopters to the eastern Afghan mountains, near Pakistan, to support British and other Western forces hunting Taliban and Al Qaeda fighters, US officials said on Wednesday. Guess the probes must have uncovered a little something...
One senior official said about 200 soldiers from the US 101st Airborne Division would join several hundred British Marines, Canadian troops and others already involved in an operation near Khost. If you go into town, boys, bring yer shootin' arns.
The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that up to 1,000 US soldiers could join the operation near Khost, only 32kms from the Pakistan border. But both the US Central Command based in Tampa, Florida, and the senior US official disputed that figure. "The number is high. But certainly a large number are being moved," the official said. They'll probably put other figures out, too, some high, some low, just to keep the Bad Guys ill-informed.
The Pentagon believes hundreds of Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters could be gathering in the area. Really? Wotta surprise.

United States National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice said during an address at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies that while extremism and progress were enemies of one another, one did not have to reject tradition and belief to reap the benefits of progress. She said this was also the central message of General Pervez Musharraf's speech of Jan 12 to which President Bush had referred in his state of the union address. Unless one belongs to an extremist tradition. Burying women under piles of rocks strikes many of us as extremist. But experience has show that, once thoroughly defeated as, say the Japanese were, the extremist elements can be dropped from a society without destroying its culture...

At least 20 persons, including two women and a young girl, were wounded in two separate bomb blasts in Karachi at Empress Market and Nursery. In the major explosion 16 persons were injured when a medium-intensity explosive device rocked a shop in the Empress Market. The device was planted in a red chilly crate at a store located at the main passage way leading to the backside of the market. An official of the bomb disposal squad said the locally-made explosive device was of 200gm and fitted with a timer device.
Earlier, in a blast at Nursery, which occurred around 20 minutes before the Empress Market explosion, four persons were injured. The blast occurred at the Al-Khair cold drink shop. The blast near a sugarcane juice machine outside the shop caused fire in a gas pipeline. However, a senior police officer of Ferozabad police station said that according to initial investigation the blast seems to have occurred in a gas pipeline passing through the shop. But the witnesses said the explosive device was kept in a shopping bag, which was planted near a gas pipeline beside the sugarcane juice vendor.
Inspector Fatty Arbuckle Sindh home secretary, Brig Mukthar Ahmed, who was speaking at a press conference soon after the blasts, said that the two explosions were a normal phenomenon in Karachi and hinted that it had nothing to do with the strike call given by the Muttahida Qaumi Movement. Hell, yeah. Multiple bomb blasts are a normal phenomenon around here, too. Happens all the time. That, and moles...

A missile fired from some unknown destination on Tuesday night partially damaged the building of the Government Degree College for boys in Miranshah, the headquarter of North Waziristan Agency. The missile attack is being presumed to be a miss fire. Unofficial sources claimed that the missile missed the nearby situated vocational training centre, where according to reports, American troops were stationed last week. We'll have to assume that was not their Quick Reaction Force.

The pro-Musharraf political parties had a major role in making the Tuesday's referendum a 'success' as they not only provided vital manpower to keep the otherwise dull polling stations warm and alive but also helped people poll maximum number of votes. Maybe a little too good. They almost pushed the number of "yes" votes over 100%.
Tahirul Qadri, chief of Pakistan Awami Party, Mohammad Ali Durrani, secretary-general Millat Party, and Imran Khan, chairman of Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf, went to various polling stations in processions to poll their votes in the twin cities. They were busy racking up points with Perv and his backers at the expense of the religious parties and PPP.
No senior leader of PML(QA) however turned up to poll his vote although its workers showed their presence at various polling stations. Guess he wasn't sure how it was gonna turn out.

Gen Pervez Musharraf, as expected, has won the referendum with an overwhelming 'yes' vote and opposition parties, equally predictably, have rejected the result and are grinding their teeth, hinting at the possibility of a new phase of confrontation between the two sides. Now, Qazi. Take a deep breath and calm down. Remember your heart condition. And your kidney stones.
ARD [Alliance for the Restoration of Democracy] leaders are meeting in Islamabad on Friday to discuss the situation anew and decide the alliance's future course of action. And since Gen Musharraf, now being a directly elected president, will as a matter of right seek more powers for himself than the elected prime minister, and as COAS he will still play more important role in what he calls 'troika' which runs the country, opposition parties find themselves in a very difficult situation and see no future for themselves in his presence. If he has the nerve, he can break them. I don't think he has the nerve. He had a chance almost as good in January and he backed off when the heat died down...
It does not take a Socrates' brain to predict that the two sides are on a warpath and results of fresh horn locking will not be good for the country. Kinda the story of Pak politix, isn't it?

Yasser Arafat emerged from his Mukata compound in Ramallah, hours after IDF forces withdrew from the area. And were well out of small arms range...
Hundreds of Palestinians crowded Arafat as he walked out of his building where he has been confined for the past 34 days. Inhaling deeply of the odor of his freedumb...
Flanked by aides, Arafat flashed V-signs and gave a thumbs up as he was escorted to a waiting black limousine. "Home, Mahmud!"
Arafat joined the crowd as they chanted. "With our spirit and our blood, we will redeem you, oh Arafat" and "God is great." "Hooray for me, and you too!"
Accompanied by gun-toting security guards, Arafat immediately visited a hospital in downtown Ramallah. He briefly paused in the parking lot which has been used as a makeshift graveyard and offered prayers. "Make sure you shoo-... uh, film my good side!"
Hell. I was really hoping Bush wouldn't pull his finger.

UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan decided last night to disband the United Nations fact-finding team on Jenin, following Israel's refusal to cooperate with the inquiry as currently constituted. "There are lots of accusations, lots of rumors. We don't know what is true and what is not. And I really felt that it was in everyone's interest that we clarify this issue as quickly as possible," Annan said before a closed-door meeting with the Security Council. Seems like the facts are coming out anyway. As far as I know, there's no rule that says any fact-finding team has to be under UN auspices. Why not put together a neutral international team of military and terrorism experts acceptable to both sides and have them do it? Surely there would be some objections from the PA side, and maybe some from the Israeli, but one way around that might be to include a PA and an IDF representative on the team. Diplomats are supposed to be paid to put together things like that.

A gun battle erupted at the Church of the Nativity on Thursday, just hours after fire engulfed parts of the besieged compound during another fierce firefight. A Palestinian policeman holed up in the shrine was killed, Palestinians said, and another man was wounded. The latest exchange of fire broke out shortly after noon Thursday. Journalists attending a briefing by the Israeli military nearby heard exchanges of fire lasting for several minutes. Makes a good crisis for the lemmings Palestinians. It's photogenic, and lots of International Concern® can be generated.
The dead man, identified as Mohammed Abed, a 22-year-old policeman, was carried out of the church on a stretcher by priests. Later, a Palestinian wounded in the fighting and an 18-year-old civilian who had fallen ill, were also evacuated. The military said it had reports of four wounded Palestinians, including two who refused to come out of the compound. Mohammed's cavorting with his 72 flat-chested 12-year-olds. The guys who're just maimed go through life being referred to as "Gimpy." If there was any truth to the IslamoParty line, you'd think all the Gimpies would get, say, 36 comely maidens to attend them until they achieve Paradise. The Islamomaidens should be lining up to to cook, clean, fetch, carry and bump bellies with Their Wounded Heroes, no matter how little was left of them or how hideously scarred.
Several hours earlier, flames leaped from the compound during another gunbattle. Israel and the Palestinians accused each other of having started the fire, which raged about 50 feet from the 4th century church, but did not damage it. The Palestinians said Israeli flares fired during the fighting sparked the flames, while Israel accused Palestinians holed up in the compound of arson. Suppose the truth will come out, if there are any survivors. It kinda looked to me like a flare fell on the church, but I think that was Geraldo's camera, so it's open to question. Regardless of who started the shootin', lest we forget, if the church hadn't been full of gunnies there wouldn't have been a gunfight.
The Fransciscan press office in Rome said several rooms and offices in the Franciscan monastery in the compound sustained fire damage. Palestinians in the compound said several rooms in the Greek Orthodox section were also damaged. Three people were slightly burned as they battled to put out the blaze with buckets of water, Palestinians in the church said by telephone. Do they let the priests and nuns use the phone, too? Or are they only for gunnies?
In Jerusalem, Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, the papal envoy, met Thursday with Israeli President Moshe Katsav and was to hold talks later in the day with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to try to resolve the standoff. Hey, it could happen!
At his Ramallah compound, moments after Israeli forces lifted their monthlong siege, Arafat shook with anger as he faced cameras after receiving word of the fire. "It's an ugly crime," Arafat said of the blaze. "I call on the international community to take immediate measures in the face of this horrendous crime. Those terrorists, Nazis and racists, how can we tolerate them after committing this crime?" Ummm... You didn't tolerate them before, either. Why was that?
"The church is in danger because both sides are armed," said Archbishop Aristarghos, chief secretary of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate. He said Christian leaders and the Israeli government agreed "every effort should be made to reduce the tension." Egg jelly, the church is in danger because it was invaded by gunnies and snuffies who're holding priests and nuns and monks as hostages. One side appears to be legitimately armed, the other illegitimately armed. Therefore the morality of it all isn't quite equivalent, is it?

Captured Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti has told Israeli interrogators that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat personally approved weapons funding for attacks against Israelis, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's office said Thursday. Really? Why that is such a surprise. He seems like such a nice man...
Palestinian officials contacted by The Associated Press refused to comment on the report. In the past, they have consistently denied that Arafat approved attacks against Israelis, citing his denunciations of attacks against civilians on both sides. "Nope. Wudn't us. Musta been them damn' Jews again."

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
