A senior al Qaeda leader and longtime Pakistani jihadi with strong ties to Pakistan's military and intelligence services who was thought to have been killed in a US airstrike in the tribal areas has surfaced.
Ilyas Kashmiri, the operational chief of the Harkat-ul Jihad Islami (HuJI) and al Qaeda's Brigade 313, survived the Sept. 14 airstrike in the village of Turikhel near the town of Mir Ali in Taliban-controlled North Waziristan. Kashmiri was thought to have been killed with Najmuddin Jalolov, the leader of the Islamic Jihad Group, an Uzbek terror group based in Pakistan's tribal areas. Pakistani and US intelligence officials were certain Kashmiri was killed in the attack.
Kashmiri was recently confirmed to be alive by Syed Saleem Shahzad, a reporter for the Asia Times. Kashmiri granted an interview to Shahzad, which will be published on Oct. 14. In the interview, Kashmiri "outlines al Qaeda's master plan to combat the US and its proxies."
Kashmiri is very likely to be directly linked to last weekend's terror assault on Pakistan's Army General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. Dr. Usman, the tactical commander of the assault group, is a senior member of the Harkat-ul Jihad Islami and served under Kashmiri.
Ilyas Kashmiri is considered by US intelligence to be one of al Qaeda's most dangerous commanders. He served as the operational chief of the Harkat-ul Jihad Islami, an al Qaeda-linked terror group that operates in Pakistan, Kashmir, India, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Kashmiri was recently listed as the fourth most wanted terrorist by Pakistan's Interior Ministry.

These alpha moo’s travel in very small herds and stay in different corners of the pasture every night. Women and children used as runners versus trusting electronics that we can track.
BHO is going to force a great loss of life on all sides with his BS ROE’s.......folks I know and worked with are retiring , resigning etc . They are tired of his crap !
I have talked young folks in my area into going to college vs joining the service for right now due this socialist administration and congress. That is hard for me to do because I believe the military has good education and teaches em discipline and respect for others as well as themselves. Something most of America needs more than anything right now.
Stay safe Cindy !
“Women and children used as runners versus trusting electronics that we can track.”
There is something interesting in the above statement. If the women act suspiciously and/or they have more than the usual supplies with them than is necessary for their family needs (ie 20 pounds of camel burgers vs 1 pound of camel burgers); maybe someone should talk to them.
As for children runners...maybe someone should see just whom these busy kids are talking to.

“They are tired of his crap!”
I understand Squantos...really I do.
Unfortunately, colleges are filled with liberal h.u.a.’s, too.
Just tired of troops being hung out on a limb by polidiots Cindy.....my rant. Thanks for the ear.
I understand and I agree with you.
The women with to much food supplies etc is normal for the poor be they friend or foe. If an 80 year old woman finds 300 pounds of flour she WILL get that to her house an save / sell it at market. What would look like a supply cache in more cases than not.....ain’t over there
Kids run as groups so at least one or more of em remember the message an so they tell on each other if they stop an speak with anyone along the way. The kids stay an work for food for their families under the watch of the taliban till the message is dead data per se then they go on next “job”. The group is made up of new kids each time so friendship an trust is not formed
Kids are paid well an humint gold mines for the taliban. They use em well yet they punish poor or suspect performance with torture an death.
OPINION - random thoughts
Well then, let’s narrow it down...look for the house(s) that the kids head for — especially those kids that don’t belong in the area.
Then...forget about the kids...focus on the house(s) and the occupants and the activities visibly viewed by the naked eye.
They work as if they are watched from all directions 24/7 because they are. Until we are ready to displace an isolate entire communities we are just spinning our wheels with such an enemy. An enemy we can only kill on their timetable..due BHO’s ROE’s.
Nite Cindy.
Goodnight Squantos.
Sleep well.
(P.S. OPINION: The enemy screws up when they are over-confident. Very generally speaking, the enemies are very confident right now. Something to ponder — maybe.)
God bless you.
