Jean-Louis Bruguiere, a former French investigative magistrate who specialized on al Qaeda and investigated the terror group in Pakistan, has more damning information on al Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and the groups' ties to each other and the Pakistani state. From Reuters:

In an interview, Bruguiere said he was convinced Lashkar-e-Taiba, first set up to fight India in its part of the divided Himalayan region of Kashmir, had become part of an international network tied to al Qaeda.

'Lashkar-e-Taiba is no longer a Pakistani movement with only a Kashmir political or military agenda. Lashkar-e-Taiba is a member of al Qaeda. Lashkar-e-Taiba has decided to expand violence worldwide,' he told Reuters.

Bruguiere goes on to explain that shoe-bomber Richard Reid and three other Westerns were trained in a Lashkar-e-Taiba camp by Pakistani soldiers who doubled as members of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. The training camp was supported by the Pakistani Army. "Military supplies were dropped by army helicopters," Reuters reported.

Here is some background on the Lashkar-e-Taiba and al Qaeda given to me by US intelligence officials last year:

The Tamil Tigers were also involved with the Al Qaeda. The Tamils taught them how to build bombs and use boats and go into Mumbai.

The Sri Lankans took care of the Tamil Tigers problem.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, send the Sri Lankan army into Afghanistan and the Taliban problem will be taken care of.

You’ll see the full storyline in the link below...

Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton and other New Jersey Democrats’ past ties with contributors like Ram Ranjan who were linked with the Tamils, have had an influence with Clinton.
