Today in al Qaeda's world.

No rest for the wicked. Another bloody day in Iraq thanks to Qaeda linked bombings. Sunni areas attacked in an attempt to weaken the resolve of the Sunnis who have joined with the Coalition. The bloodshed — in four cities as far north as Mosul and as far west as Ramadi — struck directly at U.S. claims that the Sunni insurgency is waning and being replaced by Shiite militia violence as a major threat... or so says the AP as they continue to act as al Qaeda in Iraq's secondary propaganda arm. Meanwhile, AQ in Iraq's main propaganda arm has been getting busy issuing calls from Baghdad Bob's imaginary brother, Omar al-Baghdadi for the Sunnis to join with al Qaeda and fight the Evil Shatan. They better find somebody to help them out! Because the Evil Shatan is systematically kicking their behind: Coalition forces detain 18 suspected al Qaeda in Iraq.

Jihad Italian Style: Al Qaeda announced the opening of a web site in Italian aimed at recruiting new members. Postal police is looking into the matter. Investigators say that "At the moment it has only been announced, but we have found no trace of a new Italian website on the internet. We are looking for it and in the event that we find it we will monitor access to blogs and will adopt relative measures in the event of any breach of law". Al Qaeda's decision to open a new website follows the shutdown, on Fabruary 22, of the blog run by Carmagnola's imam Abdul Qadir Fadlallah Mamour. Paging Jawa! Paging Jawa! Clean up on Aisle Italia.

Two Jemaah Islamyiah members are arrested in Malaysia.

And one of them has admitted to the beheading of three Christian school girls walking home from school.

It would be nice to hear some moderate Moslems speak out about this...maybe even the Pope. AND yes, that is one of the girls brutally beheaded by what I can only describe as savages.




Prison Riots in Jordan after attempt made to separate al Qaeda prisoners from general population. Al-Khatib said the trouble in Swaqa, the largest of Jordan's 10 prisons, was in solidarity with riots at another Jordanian jail, the Muwaqqar Penitentiary, where three inmates were killed in rioting involving scores of prisoners who were objecting to separating Al Qaeda-linked militants from other convicts. Police said Muwaqqar rioting began when wardens tried to move some non-militant inmates to other sections of the desert prison, or to other detention facilities in line with a police regulation introduced last week. The decision calls for separating convicts from detainees who are still on trial. It also divides inmates according to age, physical build, conviction and sentence length.
