Was amplifying a previous post with the comment -- might make better sense with Message 18238770 as an antecedent.

Gotta think like a contrarian these days in everything from the market to news & now to the so-called "experts" Don't believe this article... the "experts" are always wrong. Doesn't matter if they are economists or ________? Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.?

Al-Qaida Member Arrested in Kuwait By DIANA ELIAS Associated Press Writer November 16, 2002, 3:54 PM EST KUWAIT CITY -- Kuwaiti police have arrested a senior member of al-Qaida who was helping to plan a car bomb attack on a Yemeni hotel frequented by Americans, a newspaper reported Saturday. Police arrested a 21-year-old Kuwaiti identified only by the initials "M.F." two weeks ago, the Kuwaiti daily Al-Anba said. An Interior Ministry official confirmed the newspaper report, but would provide no further details. According to Al-Anba, the arrested Kuwaiti told police that a Yemeni national identified as Osama al-Yemeni was to drive a bomb-wired car into an unidentified hotel in the Yemeni capital, San'a. The Kuwaiti told police he had collected $127,000 to finance the operation, Al-Anba reported. Kuwaiti officials have informed American, Saudi and French authorities of the arrest and the alleged confessions, which helped foil the attack, the report said. U.S. Embassy officials in Kuwait were not immediately available for comment. The newspaper report also said the Kuwaiti gave police details about last month's attack on the French oil tanker Limburg off the Yemeni coast. Statements attributed to al-Qaida have praised the Oct. 6 attack in Yemen. According to Al-Anba, the Kuwaiti identified two men involved in the tanker attack as 23-year-old Yemeni named Shehab, whose family name was not provided, and Abu Assam al-Makki, whose nationality was not given. Kuwait became a key U.S. Gulf ally after an American-led coalition drove Iraqi forces out of the oil-rich state in the 1991 Gulf War. However, scores of Kuwaitis have fought in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Chechnya, and al-Qaida spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was a Kuwaiti citizen until the government stripped him of his nationality a year ago when he appeared on television next to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. Two Kuwaiti Muslim fundamentalists killed a U.S. Marine last month, before being gunned down by other Marines in a clash on the Kuwaiti island of Failaka. newsday.com
