The Washington Post had an article about this. And I found the full Arabic text of this letter (ostensibly from Al-Qa`idah leader, `Atiyyah, in Bin Laden’s command to Abu Mus`ab Zarqawi) on the website of the Center for Combating Terrorism at West Point. I don’t have time to study it or examine it carefully (I [...]

Israel occupies (or “captures” in the language of the New York Times) yet another piece of Lebanese territory. All US media are reporting that Israel has withdrawn today from Lebanese territory.

The Middle East Studies Association (in its annual meeting in Boston in November) has invited this year the Saudi ambassador in the US (and Bin Laden sponsor) to address members, and another panel features a key puppet of US occupation in Iraq, Muwaffaq Rubay`i. What is going on? Will the chief of Jordanian mukhabarat be [...]
