SNIPPET: "Sedaghaty was convicted of filing a false tax return and criminal conspiracy based on his attempt to hide the trail of a $150,000 donation that Al-Haramain received in 2000 from Egypt.

According to the indictment, Shibin spoke with the owners of the Marida Marguerite and successfully extracted a ransom payment for the vessel and its crew.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE...

I began taking a very hard look at terrorism and the war on terrorism as of 9/11/01. Before that I followed crime news, political news and current events. The majority of what I have read online over the years regarding terrorism has not been posted on the 9/11 Memorial/Tribute/Research/Videos links set; but still, this decade of links is a very good sampler showing the highlights and the low lifes of the global jihad, the global war on jihad, non-jihad terrorism (ie ELF, ALF, ETA, etc.), domestic and foreign terrorism, organized crime and gang activities, crime in general, events and incidents.

As I walk away from this 9/11 Decade project at the end of September; I walk away knowing that apathy, political correctness and just plain evil are our greatest enemies. Looking away, not caring, or hoping for the best are not viable options in fighting terrorism (in general) and the global jihad (specifically). Terrorism must be fought head on 24/7 and preventing terrorism is far better than just reacting to one terror-related event after another.

I want to thank my husband for fixing my computers/buying me new ones and ditto for the keyboards. I want to thank my husband for allowing me the time to work on this project. I want to thank Aaron Weisburd (internet-haganah.com; sofir.org) and Steven Emerson (investigativeproject.org) for being informative and inspirational. I want to thank International Christian Concern (persecution.org) and Compass Direct News (www.compassdirect.org/) for their unflinching coverage of the persecution of Christians.

ATTENTION MILITARY, INTELLIGENCE UNITS, ALPHAS, LEOS, SPECIAL UNITS, ANALYSTS AND RESEARCHERS:

I'm not going away, just finishing up this long term project. I'll always post new projects and links on the front page of truthusa.com. The following pages are still being updated and are ongoing projects:
