It was a gathering of terrorism's elite, and they slipped silently into Pakistan from all over the world in order to attend. From England came Abu Issa al-Hindi, an Indian convert to radical Islam who specializes in surveillance. From an unknown hideout came Adnan el-Shukrijumah, an accomplished Arab Guyanese bombmaker and commercial pilot. And from Queens in New York City came Mohammed Junaid Babar, a Pakistani American who arrived with cash, sleeping bags, ponchos, waterproof socks and other supplies for the mountain-bound jihadis.
The March 2004 terrorist summit in the lawless province of Waziristan, described to TIME by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf last week and expounded on by U.S. officials, has become a subject of obsession for authorities in both countries. "The personalities involved, the operations, the fact that a major explosives expert came here and went back," Musharraf said, "all this was extremely significant."
Although some summit participants have been arrested, others are still at large and are considered very dangerous. At least two are believed to have done some of the surveillance of targets in New York City and elsewhere that authorities found out about last month. Some U.S. officials fear that the meeting may have been a pivotal planning session, much the way a 2000 meeting in Kuala Lumpur was for the 9/11 attacks. "This was a meeting of a bunch of cold-blooded killers who are very skilled at what they do and have an intense desire to inflict an awful lot of pain and suffering on America," says an official familiar with the summit. A senior counterterrorism official said analysts are scrutinizing the recent pattern of enemy activity against timelines of previous attacks. This, he said, has contributed to the worry that at least some members of a strike team are already in the U.S.

Abu Eisa al-Hindi is also known as Abu Eisa al-Britani and is said to have been an advance scout for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.Abu's target descriptions are said to have been extremely detailed.
The NY Times (as might be expected) is downplaying the significance of all of this.
Until we get serious about terrorism, and recognize who the real enemy is, I will refuse to read another terror article.
Either shut down the damn border and lock up ALL islamics, or go to sleep and wait for the next attack...because it will happen...and we will have only ourselves to blame for allowing PC and leftist ideals to win over common sense and patriotism.
When a murderer is in your house, and you allow him sanctuary therein, then who is to blame when he slits your throat as you sleep? [This must be too simple a concept for our government and the islamic apologists here on FR]
Low profile in Canada.....planning/training.....
Forward cells setting up a 'structure' for operations.....
Canadian Action Group 'travels' into operation areas.......(their option) as to Action....
Various Planned Target in/throughout the 'travel'.....
They strike as to opportunity throughout the 'travel'....
Fog on Fog in Fog of 'travel'.......false alerts create Fog for attacks.....
IMHO....
.......this seems to me to be their 'shell game'....magic.....
Targets are obviously......'massive' destruction of monetary/military/metropolitian innocent civilian targets.....
(The U.N. Headquarters area is their 'safe' house in the U.S.A.....)
If no action taken......they go back to Canada.....
/sarcasm
After we "lock up all islamics" who will we get to translate all the Arabic, Farsi, etc intel for us? The seven dwarves?
JUNE 2004 : (ITALY : ANTI-IMPERIALIST CAMP ORGANIZERS ARE COLLECTING FUNDS FOR THE IRAQI PATRIOTIC ALLIANCE, A COMMUNIST GROUP OF EXILED IRAQIS WHO RECONCILED WITH SADDAM HUSSEIN) Organizers of the Anti-Imperialist Camp still are collecting funds for the IPA, asking for the equivalent of $12 from each participant, Libero reported recently. It said the contributions were going into a special bank account but did not say where they went from there. The intelligence official confirmed the newspaper report and said the funds were being transferred to Iraq. Other militants of the anti-imperialist movement are active as IPA supporters in Austria and Germany and make no secret that funds they gather are used to buy weapons for Iraqi guerrillas, intelligence sources said. It is not clear why Italian authorities have tolerated the fund-raising activities. In Italy and Germany, raising funds for a foreign terrorist organization is a crime. Among those frequently donating funds to the Iraqi resistance are militants from the hard-line Rifondazione Comunista, unreconstructed Marxists who broke away from the Italian Communist Party mainstream when it ditched orthodox communist thought and changed its name to the Democratic Party, the article said. One of the most vociferous leaders of the [June 2004] Anti-Imperialist Camp is Moreno Pasquinelli, an activist arrested April 1 in the Umbrian city of Perugia as part of an international crackdown on sympathizers with the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party/Front (DHKP/C), a Turkish Marxist terror gang. He subsequently was released. "It is not our business to know what use is made of the funds," Libero quoted him as saying. "They can print newspapers or buy weapons, it is the same thing for us." --- "Al Qaeda seeking funds in Italy," By John Phillips, THE WASHINGTON TIMES, June 12, 2004, http://washingtontimes.com/world/20040612-113949-4683r.htm
BTTT
And after that we won't be asking where the WMD's are, they'll be in a smoking crater in the middle of a city.
Are you suggesting that a) Non-muslim Americans can't learn foreign languages and translate? and b)that muslims suddenly have developed the ability to create a national identity for themselves? Anywhere?
Bump and look at the pics.
you're 100% right. it makes you wonder why we have 400,000 OTM's in the USA, caught by the govt and then purposely released into our society. This treasonous policy makes no sense, especially if one were to buy the 'we're keeping you safe' slogans.
the article about the 400,000 OTMs was posted on FR last week.
I agree, we release and deport, and they just come back...it makes no sense that we don't somehow close the borders.
"Meanwhile, El Shukrijumah’s mother – who was 16 and her husband 44, when she gave birth to Adnan – made herself an accessory to the (suspected) crime by admitting that she told her son that he should “stay away” and “stay put…we don’t want to know where [you are].”
The terrorist connection of his father, Gulshair – an Islamic missionary sent to America from Saudi Arabia – is apparent. Despite his claim of feeling “sad, because I have done no wrong,” Gulshair testified in a trial on behalf of fellow mosque-goer, terrorist Abdul Rasheed (a.k.a. Clement Hampton-El), who “was convicted of plotting to blow up the United Nations and the Holland Tunnel.”
you said it makes no sense,.. i hear that a lot regarding this issue.
Assuming that you don't think the govt is nonsensical or stupid or brainless,.. why exactly do you think they allow such free-flow of illegals (including probably arab terrorists) into our country?
i have a dossier of articles documenting such news stories.
In my opinion, saying 'it just doesn't make sense' isnt enough. I'm not criticizing you,- just asking what you think the real answer is.
"He is known in the terrorism network as "Jaffar the Pilot," al-Qaeda prisoners have told U.S. authorities.
When he realizes that he has caught something from one of the infidel women or men or whatever he lusted for that won't wash off, he'll carry out his revenge against the infidels thereby assuring himself a clean new willy and 72 virgins for eternity.
I can't see the pictures, even if I go to the times website.
What I mean is that we have been having problems with the borders for years,,,,thousands of illegals, and we take no steps, such as using military to patrol borders, to secure our safety, protect our welfare system, and keep criminals out of U. S.
We can go to Iraq and free them from Sadaam, and yet we can't free ourselves from the illegal aliens that come in by hundreds every week. NOW we have terrorists coming through Mexico, WELL HELLO, if we know this... why are our Senators and Representatives going to Starbucks to get coffee...when someone should be writing a BILL to propose 'NEW SECURITY' TO PREVENT ANY ILLEGALS CROSSING FROM MEXICO OR CANADA INTO United States.
Furthermore, we (the USA) is only as strong as our weakest point, and right now the IMMIGRATION OF ILLEGALS CROSSING BORDERS UNDETECTED appears to be the weakest link, let's close it. INS should be purged and real people with attitudes put in there, and anyone caught in this country illegally not only gets deported, they NEVER get back in legally...not now, not ever. It might make their dream of coming to US important enough to follow proper channels.
Is that clear enough?
