(AP) - Tropical storm watches or warnings were posted Friday from Georgia to New Jersey, and forecasters said Hanna could still become a hurricane before its expected arrival on U.S. shores.

Al-Qaida quickly claimed responsibility soon after the attack, saying it was carrying out Osama bin Laden's promise to exact revenge over the publishing of a cartoon of Islam's Prophet Muhammad in Danish papers. It was the deadliest strike against Denmark since the reprinting of the cartoon earlier this year. In the 55-minute video posted late Thursday, al-Qaida's commander in Afghanistan commander Mustafa Abu al-Yazeed warned ``once more the Crusader states that insult, mock and defame our Prophet ... that we will exact revenge at the appropriate time and place.'' Abu al-Yazeed, an Egyptian as Abu Saeed al-Masri, said the embassy attack in Islamabad was ``but the beginning'' and called on Muslim youth in the West to ``retaliate'' against the ``enemies of Islam and Muslims in whose midst they live.''<< Fri Sep 05 14:54:06 UTC 2008 http://www.mixx.com/stories/2027773/afghan_al_qaida_figure_warns_of_attacks_on_west comment_136960 Al-Qaida's top commander in Afghanistan warned of more attacks against the West in a video posted on the Web that paid tribute to a suicide bomber said to have carried out the June bombing of the Danish Embassy in Pakistan...

Her visit – the first by a secretary of state since John Foster Dulles' trip in 1953 – is the culmination of five years of diplomacy since Libya agreed to abandon its weapons of mass destruction and renounce terrorism in 2003. It also coincides with the week when Gadafy, the longest serving leader in the Arab world, celebrated the 39th anniversary of his bloodless coup at the age of 27. US officials expect Rice to be greeted in Gadafy's ceremonial tent in the desert. << Fri Sep 05 14:18:17 UTC 2008 http://www.mixx.com/stories/2027222/condoleezza_rice_meets_gadafy_in_libya_guardian_co_uk comment_136904 Historic handshake in desert tent signifies ending half-century of hostilities...

But balancing those concerns are fears that if moderate forces are too weak they might lose control of the West Bank to Hamas, the hardline Islamic group that seized power in the Gaza Strip last year.<< Fri Sep 05 14:01:46 UTC 2008 http://www.mixx.com/stories/2027034/israel_allows_weapons_transfer_to_palestinians_guardian_co_uk comment_136863 Israel allowed Palestinian security forces in the West Bank to receive a shipment of about 1,000 Kalashnikov rifles and tens of thousands of bullets in a step aimed at bolstering the moderate Palestinian government there, an Israeli defense official said.

John McCain was due to accept the GOP presidential nomination. But their permit had expired, and police - in riot gear and using horses, snow plows and dump trucks - blocked their way. For hours, police let the protesters amble from one blocked intersection to another. But then the arrests began in earnest. At least 19 journalists, including two reporters from The Associated Press, were among those held by police.<< Fri Sep 05 13:52:00 UTC 2008 http://www.mixx.com/stories/2026756/arrests_mark_last_anti_war_march_of_convention_guardian_co_uk comment_136847
