Islamic terrorist threats on the rise worldwide

By Ken Dilanian

Knight Ridder Newspapers


ROME - A series of recent developments in the war on terrorism, barely noticed in the United States, suggests that global Islamic extremism is spreading.

On Monday, Turkish authorities charged nine people, believed to be part of an al-Qaida-linked group, in connection with planning to bomb next month's NATO summit in Istanbul, which President Bush is scheduled to attend. That followed the April 26 televised confessions of suspects allegedly caught trying to build a chemical bomb, which authorities said could have killed tens of thousands in Jordan's capital, Amman.

In Saudi Arabia, authorities weren't so successful. On May 1, militants shot dead two Americans, two Britons and an Australian at an oil company's offices. On May 3, a car bomb exploded in southwestern Pakistan, killing three Chinese engineers who had been building a multimillion-dollar seaport.

In Syria on April 27, a gym teacher died in a cross fire between extremists and police. In Thailand the next day, police killed 108 Muslim militants who'd allegedly attacked police stations trying to seize guns, though that incident has overtones of longstanding ethnic strife. In Spain, an indictment issued April 29 alleges that one of the Moroccans accused in connection with the Madrid train bombings is also linked to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. In Indonesia on April 30, protesters rioted after a radical cleric was arrested again on charges linking him to the 2002 nightclub bombings in Bali, which killed 202 people.

3. GEN MYERS TRIBUTE TO UNMUZZLED MILITARY POLICE DOGS

SCHINDLER'S LIST



Ralph Fiennes plays a chilling Amon Goeth in the movie, and plays him to the point that some
people have had trouble distinguishing him from the real thing.

Poldek Pfefferberg, one of the Schindler Jews, famously said, "When you saw Göeth, you saw
death."

7. Rummy, Myers Should be Out the Door!

They didn't know what was going on and they should have. The same holds true for Bush and Bremer. Under the GOP we've known nothing but increased warfare, constant scare tactics, and now terrorism acts by our military to Iraqi citizens. On the side, you can throw in that Bush has redistributed our taxes to his supporters and donors. All wealthy, all GOP.

8. how many times on DU

have wacky liberals here said that terrorism will grow as a result of this war?
of all things you don't want to be right about -- this has to be right at the top of the list.
