"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Malaysia has arrested three people they claim were planning suicide bombing attacks and a fourth person who was to be the lookout.
The alleged bombers are among four members of an Islamic extremist militant group linked to al-Qaida who were arrested Nov. 16-20 in Johor, a southern state lying opposite the island of Singapore, an official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The fourth man arrested was apparently going to be a lookout.
The alleged suicide squad was part of a backup unit in a plot by the group, Jemaah Islamiyah, that centered on using truck bombs to level the U.S., British and Australian embassies, the official said.
The plot was smashed in December and January when Singaporean and Malaysian police arrested scores of suspects. The four men escaped to Indonesia, but returned to see their families, the official said.
