The Los Angeles City Council is discussing the possibility of deactivating ten of the city's rescue ambulances at night - a plan proposed by fire officials in order to help cut LA's massive budget shortfall.

Yesterday (3/9) a federal indictment was unsealed charging Colleen R. LaRose, aka "Fatima LaRose," aka "Jihad Jane," with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making false statements to a government official and attempted identity theft. The Pennsylvania resident was arrested in October 2009.

According to the DOJ news release, among other charges, LaRose and five unindicted co-conspirators located in South Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the United States are accused of using the Internet to recruit men "to wage violent jihad in South Asia and Europe", and recruit women "who had passports and the ability to travel to and around Europe in support of violent jihad."

While U.S. authorities have not publicly confirmed this, it is believed that LaRose was plotting to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, whose infamous 2007 cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog angered Muslims worldwide. Furthermore it seems likely that the timing of the indictment is tied to the arrest earlier this week of seven people in Ireland who allegedly are also involved in a plan to kill Vilks.

A California man was arrested and charged Monday with conspiracy for allegedly operating a visa fraud scheme involving dozens of Middle Eastern students enrolled at several California colleges and junior colleges, and three California State University campuses.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) also arrested 16 of the foreign students linked to the investigation. According to ICE, six were taken into custody on criminal charges for committing visa fraud. And the others were arrested on administrative immigration violations and will be placed in removal proceedings.

President Obama plans to nominate Major General Robert A. Harding, U.S. Army (Retired), to head up the Transportation Security Administration.

The President's first nominee, Erroll Southers, withdrew from contention after Senate Republicans raised concerns he would try to unionize TSA's workforce.

Americans mainly associate TSA with airport security, but the agency is responsible for protecting the nation's entire transportation system including sea ports, railroads, highways and pipelines

Al-Qaeda's media wing as-Sahab has released a new video message in which American al-Qaeda spokesperson Adam Gadahn (aka Azzam the American) praises the actions of Fort Hood shooting suspect, Maj. Nidal Hasan. The terrorism monitoring organization SITE Intelligence Group was first to report on the video posted on jihadist forums today (3/7).

From SITE (registration required): "Gadahn portrays Hasan as an example all Muslims in Western countries should follow, in not only his act of murder, but in his faith in God, defiance of his military commanders, dismissal of fatwas that condemn jihad, and care in not allowing himself to be caught prior to the attack."

Gadahn is on the FBI's list of most wanted terrorists and the Rewards For Justice Program is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his arrest.

On Thursday (3/4), a federal indictment was unsealed in Atlanta charging 26 members of the violent international gang MS-13 with federal racketeering and related crimes, including seven murders and 14 attempted murders.
