Man On Terror Watch List, Murder Suspect Arrested Posted: 04 Sep 2009 05:18 PM PDT Sheriff Chuck Wright told reporters that deputies picked up a man wanted on a murder charge in North Carolina. He said he was found with an AK-47 on him. “This weapon right here, it’s a killing machine pretty much,” the sheriff said as he pointed to the weapon. Terry Lee Broussard Jr., aka Muhammad Rasheed Shamsiddeen, 25, of Cumberland Street in Fayetteville, is also listed on the FBI Terrorism Screening Database. The driver was, Kye Stevens Robbins, 23, of Jamestown Road, Windsor, N.C. Deputies found two shotguns, a .38-caliber pistol, a 7.62-caliber assault rifle with magazine and ammunition in the vehicle, Wright said. Both Broussard and Robbins were arrested and charged with weapons violations and Broussard was held for authorities in North Carolina on the murder warrant.

2,000 Sickened With Swine Flu – Washington State University WSU Posted: 04 Sep 2009 03:09 PM PDT More than 2,000 Washington State University students have been sickened by swine flu during the first two weeks of classes, school health officials said.The outbreak of H1N1 influenza prompted concerns about Saturday’s football matchup against Stanford at Martin Stadium. While school and health officials stressed that attending the game poses little risk of infection, they urged people sick with the flu to stay home and encouraged fans to wash their hands, to avoid sharing food and drink, and to cover their mouths when coughing or sneezing. Pregnant women and people with underlying health risks such as diabetics, asthma or heart or lung disease should consider skipping the game, health officials said. Far more than 2,000 students could be ill, said Dr. Dennis Garcia, although the number of students seeking care and calling nurses at WSU’s Health and Wellness Services fell for the first time Thursday since classes started. Dozens, perhaps even hundreds, more students have called or gone into Pullman Regional Hospital seeking treatment. There have been no deaths and no students have developed severe symptoms requiring hospitalization. Source This story comes to us via Homeland Security - National Terror Alert.

al Amriki – Charges Await Al Qaeda-Linked American Terrorist Posted: 04 Sep 2009 07:38 AM PDT A week after the 9/11 attacks, a young Muslim at South Alabama University told the school’s newspaper it was “difficult to believe a Muslim could have done this.” Now, eight years later, he is professing to launch attacks himself and calling on others to join the fight, as terror-related charges await him at home in Alabama. Abu Mansour al-Amriki — or “The American” — has become one of the most recognizable and outspoken voices of terrorist propaganda. He has been in war-torn Somalia for several years, fighting the secular government there with a group known as al-Shabaab, which has ties to Al Qaeda and was labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. government last year. Only recently has he taken on a starring — and jarring — role in al-Shabaab’s outreach efforts. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been looking into him for several years. In fact, a grand jury in Mobile, Ala., has already indicted him on charges of providing material support to terrorists, a source said. It’s unclear when the indictment was filed. Al-Amriki first surfaced in October 2007, when Al-Jazeera TV aired a report about the “common goal” of Al Qaeda and hard-line militants in Somalia. The report described al-Amriki as “a fighter” and “military instructor,” but he concealed his face with a cloth wrap throughout the report. In April, he showed his face for the first time, during a highly-polished, 30-minute recruitment video posted online. It featured anti-American hip-hop and sporadic images of Usama bin Laden. In the video, he purportedly led a group of al-Shabaab militants in an ambush of pro-government forces in Somalia. Speaking about one man killed in the fight, he said, “We need more like him, so if you can encourage more of your children and more of your neighbors, anyone around, to send people like him to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us.” The violent world that 25-year-old al-Amriki now inhabits is a stark contrast to the sleepy, suburban life he left behind.
