May 12, 2006 WASHINGTON - A single holdout kept the jury from handing a death sentence to Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in this country in the 9/11 attacks.
But that juror never explained his vote, said the foreman of the jury that sentenced the confessed al-Qaida conspirator to life in prison last week. The foreman, a math teacher in Northern Virginia, told The Washington Post that jurors voted three times - 11-1, 10-2 and 10-2 - in favor of the death penalty on the three terrorism charges that each qualified Moussaoui for execution. On April 26, the third day of deliberations, the jury's frustrations reached a critical point because of several 11-1 votes on one charge. But no one could figure out who was casting the dissenting vote, the foreman said, because that person didn't identify himself during any discussion - and each of the votes were done using anonymous ballots. |

Thu May 11, 2006 PARIS - A video by an Al-Qaeda member posted on the Internet called upon Muslims to attack Denmark, Norway and France for publishing cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.
"Muslims avenge your prophet .... We deeply desire that the small state of Denmark, Norway and France ... are struck hard and destroyed," declared Libyan Mohammed Hassan, who escaped from US custody at Bagram airbase in Afghanistan last July. "Destroy their buildings, make their ground shake and transform them into a sea of blood," said Hassan, dressed in military fatigues and a black turban, and holding an assault rifle. Comment: Why would "al-Qaeda" call for attacks on countries whose people have for the most part fought against US "anti-terror" imperialism? Who benefits??

AFNS May 12, 2006 Fort Benning, GA - The newest version of the Stryker vehicle, designed to provide fire power to Infantry units, will be unveiled May 15 at Fort Knox's Armor Warfighting Symposium. The development of the Mobile Gun System is being managed by Fort Benning's Training and Doctrine Command System Manager-Stryker/Bradley.
The system was developed to meet the infantry's need for a highly mobile support vehicle to supply rapid, direct fire, specifically during close assaults, said Dave Rogers, a TSM-Stryker senior analyst. The Mobile Gun System will eventually be integrated into Stryker Brigade Combat Teams. |
