Man Accused of Attempting To Sell A 25 Gallon Drum of Cyanide To FBI Informant

A Texas man claimed he had a 25-gallon drum of cyanide and tried to sell it to an FBI informant, touting the poison’s usefulness in mass killings, according to a court affidavit.

Jeffrey Don Detrixhe, 38, of Higgins, Texas, was arrested Monday in southeastern Oklahoma on a complaint of possession or transfer of a chemical weapon. He waived his initial court appearance Wednesday in U.S. District Court, and a judge ordered U.S. Marshals to extradite him to Texas. Read more »

Bin Laden Releases New Audio Message


Osama bin Laden released a new message saying Al Qaida will continue its war against Israel and its allies until it liberates Palestine.

The message came as President George Bush ended his visit to Israel to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state.

Bin Laden said the fight for the Palestinian cause was the most important factor driving al Qaida’s war with the West and fuelled the September 11 attacks.

The authenticity of the nearly 10 minute message could not be verified, but it was posted on a website commonly used by al Qaida.

Bin Laden said the fight for the Palestinian cause was the most important factor driving al Qaida’s war with the West. “To Western nations … this speech is to understand the core reason of the war between our civilisation and your civilisations. I mean the Palestinian cause,” said bin Laden.

“The Palestinian cause is the major issue for my (Islamic) nation. It was an important element in fuelling me from the beginning and the 19 others with a great motive to fight for those subjected to injustice and the oppressed,” he added.
