was picked up by DEBKAfile’s monitors from a rush of electronic chatter on al Qaeda
sites Thursday, Aug. 8.

Another said the attacks
would be carried out “by means of trucks loaded with radio-active material against America’s biggest city and financial nerve center.” A third message mentioned New York
, Los Angeles
and Miami
as targets. It drew the answer: “The attack, with Allah’s help, will cause an economic meltdown, many dead, and a financial crisis on a scale that compels the United States to pull its military forces out of many parts of the world, including Iraq, for lack of any other way of cutting down costs.” There is also a message which speaks obliqu Read more:Los Angeles

We found it surprising that such an esteemed mathematician such as Professor Nesin needs a specific permit each time he wants to teach math, as we saw that one of the reasons for shutting the camp down was the lack of such a permit, especially considering how this contradicts the fact that the summer schools organized every year by Professor Nesin are sponsored by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), Turkish Mathematics Association and many respected Turkish universities.”The school was reopened on 10 August 2007; however, Ali Nesin still faces charges under Turkish criminal code article TCK 263, which reads Read more:threatened
