I thought these items were interesting:

From: story.news.yahoo.com

<<<Secretary of State Colin Powell said the coordinated strike had "the earmarks of al-Qaida,">>>

<<<The seven Americans killed lived in a four-story building that was heavily damaged. Seventy Americans employed by the Vinnell Corp., a Virginia company with a contract to train Saudi military and civilian officials, lived in the building. By chance, 50 were away on a training exercise.>>>

<<<An intelligence official in Washington said information from the past two weeks indicated al-Qaida had been planning a strike in Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's birthplace and home to Islam's holiest sites.>>>

The MO sort of rang a bell. Advanced warnings, al Quida blamed without a shred of evidence, and "by chance" certain folks are nowhere near the attack. Out of curiosity I ran a search on Vinnell and came up with this:

astridmm.com

A company that supplies mercenaries for black ops? Sounds like.

From there I pulled up some filings on BDM International:

sec.gov

Interesting, interesting; William Conway and Frank Carlucci of Carlyle Group are on the BOD.

BDM was acquired by Northrop a few years ago, and I thought the 49% increase in revenue for the most recent quarter was also rather interesting. biz.yahoo.com

I wonder if all these terrorists know how much money they're making for select groups of US Government insiders?
