...terrorists' strategy, says an adviser to Morocco's King Mohammed VI, is to create chaos aimed at undermining moderate Muslim governments. In February, Osama bin Laden, in a tape, labeled Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Jordan, Yemen and Pakistan countries "enslaved by America" and thus "the most eligible for liberation." Having already tried to hit in Jordan in 1999 and successfully attacked in Yemen in 2000, terrorists, since the message went out, have struck the three others. But a former U.S. counterterrorism official says that much as terrorists like to hit targets with such high symbolic value, they plan first with...
...terrorist attack on the al-Muhaya housing enclave in Riyadh on Nov. 8 that killed 18 Muslims has shocked and sickened many Saudi citizens. "Any sympathy [for Osama bin Laden] has more or less evaporated," contends Saudi journalist Tariq Alhomayed. But the rotten public-relations fallout is not likely to alter al-Qaeda's plans.

The CD also features a bone-chilling cell-phone call that...
...last very long. Before this there was Laci Peterson, before her it was J. Lo and Ben... according to the Lycos internet service, it took only a year for the top five words searched on the Net to revert from “Nostradamus, World Trade Center, Osama bin Laden, New York City, Terrorism” to “KaZaA, Dragonball, Tattoos, West Nile Virus, Britney Spears.” The Michael Jackson business is a sign, not a shift, of cultural trends. Still, with two years and a bit behind us, the return of popular news culture...
...more narrow and self-serving level, Bin Laden also has an interest in demonstrating his continued relevance at a time when much of the Muslim world's anti-American enthusiasms are inspired by an Iraqi insurgency led, on the ground, by mid-level Baathist security force officers supported by local Islamist elements. Bin Laden terrorist ego may be feeling the pressure to show that he and his movement, not the apostate Saddam and his secular nationalist Baathists, are the nemesis of the Americans...
