POPSal qaeda doesn't like the President-Elect al-zawahiri: "It appears that you don't know anything about ... the history of Afghanistan and its free and defiant Muslim people," he said. "And be aware that the dogs of Afghanistan have found the flesh of your soldiers to be delicious, so send thousands after thousands to them."

POPSal qaeda (allegedly) tries to hijack a Turkish airliner "The pilots convinced the hijackers that the plane needed to refuel and landed in Antalya. Then they kicked open the cockpit windows and fled the plane. The hijackers decided to free the women and children on board, but as people began filing out of the plane through two side doors, passengers forced open a door at the back of the plane and, in a sudden flood, most of the remaining hostages escaped." Good for them!

POPS"The Path to 9/11" on ABC Kudos to ABC for putting together a very good movie and especially for not caving into the pressure from the Clinton administration people and showing how they totally dropped the ball on bin laden and on the whole al qaeda build-up.

POPSAl-Qaeda's 2nd man in Iraq is captured American and Iraqi troops have captured the man who supervised the bombers of a revered Shiite shrine in Samarra last February, an act that set off a wave of brutal sectarian violence, the Iraqi national security adviser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie, said Sunday. In a statement broadcast on national television, Mr. Rubaie said the second-ranking leader of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, Hamid Juma Faris Jouri al-Saeedi, was captured several days ago as he hid among Iraqi families in a residential building. He said Mr. Saeedi was operating near Baquba, north of Baghdad, in the area where Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Jordanian-born leader of the militant organization, had sought refuge before he was killed in an American airstrike three months ago. Mr. Rubaie described Mr. Saeedi as Al Qaeda's deputy commander in Iraq, serving beneath Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who took over the organization after Mr. Zarqawi's death.
