"The two nations from the north will resolve their differences to defeat the Anti-christ from persia" To:Souze who wrote (104322) From: Benjamin Garrett Tuesday, Sep 11, 2001 2:59 PM Respond to of 104333 Russia goes into high alert, Putin supports tough response Wednesday, September 12 1:46 AM SGT MOSCOW, Sept 11 (AFP) - Russia put troops on alert Tuesday after a spate of unprecedented attacks rocked Washington and New York as President Vladimir Putin told his US counterpart he supported a tough response to the strikes. "The series of barbaric acts directed against innocent people fills us with indignation and revolt," said Putin in a telegram to US President George W. Bush. "Such inhuman acts must not go unpunished," he said, according to the Interfax news agency. Putin later telephoned US national security advisor Condoleezza Rice to ask her to convey his condolences to Bush. Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, destroying it entirely, and another ploughed into the Pentagon in Washington, in the worst wave of terrorism to hit the United States. Putin convened an emergency meeting with his "power ministries," including foreign, interior and defence ministers and head of the domestic intelligence agency to give them special instructions, the RIA-Novosti news agency said. The country's air force meanwhile announced a series of emergency anti-terrorist measures to protect Russian air space. "The Russian anti-aircraft defenses are constantly on a state of war readiness. In connection with the events in the United States, a series of anti-terrorist measures are being put into action," the air force said, as quoted by Interfax. Interior ministry forces were placed on a state of alert and security reinforced around key sites across the country while Russia halted all plane departures to the United States. Putin later said in a televised address that the world should unite to combat the threat of terrorism, "the plague of the 21st century," These strikes are "an unprecedented aggression by international terrorism" which "go beyond the borders of the United States," the Russian president said. "This is a challenge to the whole of humanity," he added, saying the unprecedented terrorist acts underlined "the relevance of the Russian proposal to unite efforts to fight terrorism." Russia is waging a military crackdown in the separatist republic of Chechnya, which it describes as an "anti-terrorist" operation. Former Soviet president Mikhail Gorbachev said the attacks were a catastrophe for mankind. They represent "not only a national tragedy (for the United States), but a tragedy for the whole of mankind," he said in a message of condolence to the US administration, as quoted by Interfax. "In my opinion, countries and nations must unite against this folly, and do everything to stop the escalation of terror," Gorbachev added. The US embassy in Moscow meanwhile sent Americans in Russia Tuesday an e-mail advising them to exercise caution. And at least three money exchanges offices in the Russian capital refused to accept dollars. Cashiers said they had been given instructions not to accept the US currency, universally used as a safe haven by Russians. asia.dailynews.yahoo.com. ---------- Curious that Russia apears so threatened by what was clearly anti-American... anti-Western violence.... Perhaps they fear that Chechnya and others will take cue... This may strike a chord with, and represent a threat to all nations who have a vested interest in any form of advanced, structured society... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To:Souze who wrote (104318) From: Mark Fleming Tuesday, Sep 11, 2001 3:02 PM Respond to of 104333 CNBC reported that Morgan Stanley Dean Witter was the largest tenant of one of the towers My friend and broker at MSDW (San Diego area) just old me that senior management was not in the building today. They think that most others made it down in time (there were housed in the upper levels of the second tower hit). They fear that the older and weaker may not have made it out. Lives were definitely lost. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To:Mark Fleming who wrote (104330) From: Andy Goett Tuesday, Sep 11, 2001 3:17 PM Respond to of 104333 There were reports during the Gulf War about Palestinians who cheered from the rooftops when Scud missiles fell on Israel too. Is that justification for suggesting that we should punish the entire Palestinian community (or all of the people of Islam as one poster implied)? I think it would be more useful to reflect on how so many people have reached such a state of desperation that they would applaud these terrible acts Previous 10 \| Next 10 Remove Bookmark Report a TOU violation View SubjectMarks Hide Quote/Chart QCOM: QUALCOMM INC(NASDAQ) Tuesday, Sep 11, 2001 3:24 PM ET Symbol Last Time Change 1Dy 1Wk 1Mo 6Mo 2Yr QCOM 4:00 PM 50.54 0.00 0.00% Prev Close Open High Low Volume 50.54 0.00 0.00 0.00 144,800 Bid Ask Last Tick Avg Volume 52-week range 51.40 50.55 Up 10,368,000 42.75 - 107.81 More Info: Charts \| News \| Financials \| Discussion \| EPS Est \| Profile \| Institutions \| SEC \| Hist.Prices \| Industry_Grps. \| Broker Research \| DSP/DRIP \| ON24 Audio/Video News Enter symbols or keywords for search: Quotes Stock Talk Charts News People Symbol Lookup Subject Titles Only Full Text This Subject Only Go to Top Terms of Use Got a comment, question or suggestion?
