#1 Palestinian police stopped two cars, one booby-trapped, from crashing their barrier at the Karni goods crossing from Gaza into Israel. There was a shoot-out with five terrorists.

Presumably the terrorists were from the wrong "militant" group, but even so I am surprised the Palestinian police acted so decisively to stop them. The other attacks look like Al Qaeda (or associates) are continuing their little war against Egypt. It does seem as though bin Laden's speech was the trigger.

#2 For me these violent acts are just PC buildup to inducing a US-Iran conflict, whereupon the Radics will hold themselves justified in attacking US, Isreali, andor Western targets. Iran had already set a March 2006 deadline for its Natantz plant to be prepped for usage of up to 3000 centrifuges, which by US officials' calculation means Iran may officially get its first bomb by end-of-year 2006 or early 2007, assuming that Iran stays at 3000 centrifuges for the year. The threat from Iran then, for time being, remains via nuclearized, "dirty bomb" or "suitcase bomb" random terror attacks. WIth FOOD-WORK RIOTS starting to occur in Iran, North Korea, and Cuba, etal. the motivation is there for both the Mullahs, etal. to intensify nucprogs dev before lose their grip on power, as well as to PC instigate new 9-11's against America in order to divert poitical and international attention. Since we all know the MSM and Socialist OWG-happy Dems-Lefties will blame Dubya, the GOP-Right, and America for everything anyways, regardless of merits, it behooves Dubya-America to attack Radical-controlled Iran while Iran's capability is still in [perceived]infancy.
