The proper response to finding these perps on planes en route to our air space is not to turn the flight around and release them at the embarkation point--release them in flight, and if they survive it is the will of Allah.

Not easy to case W's ranch.

We passed through Crawford yesterday and unless you knew exactly where it is you would not even know it's there.

However, that being said, I'm sure the terrorscum know more than WE do!!

I'm tired of them!! We need to stop screwing around because it's gonna get a lot of people killed one of these days.

Thank you for finding and posting the additional information, all of it is needed.

I think we do not know even half of the facts, so much to learn.

Smiling at you.

the KLM jet made an exhausting odyssey back to Amsterdam.

I guess they'll screen their passengers more carefully from now on. Glad to see Canada held their ground.

This may explain why the suspects went to London- if these are the same guys they are connected to the group Al-Muhajiroun there.

JULY 2001 : (PHOENIX MEMO) ...Agent Ken Williams' July 2001 memo raised concerns about the students' affiliation with Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed's group because the sheik had been involved with a fatwa — an Islamic call to action — that suggested airports as one of several legitimate attack targets in the United States, officials told The Associated Press.

In addition, Williams had identified another Muslim figure in Arizona who wasn't training at aviation schools but was linked through phone communications to one of bin Laden's top lieutenants, Abu Zubaydah, the officials said Wednesday, speaking only on condition of anonymity.

The agent had suspicions that the man might be communicating with one or more the flight school students, but he never succeeded in making a connection, officials said....

...Current and former government officials familiar with Williams' [Phoenix] memo and debriefings told the AP the counterterrorism agent from Phoenix had marked his July 10 memo as routine, meaning it did not require urgent action because of an imminent threat.

But they said the five-page document laid out in extensive investigative detail his concerns that students learning piloting, aviation engineering and airport operations at Arizona aviation schools might be preparing to help bin Laden carry out an attack. ...

...The officials said the agent had ascertained that several of the Arab students held anti-American views, and that one had expressed his hatred in extreme terms. Through interviews and intelligence, Williams linked several of the Middle Eastern students to the Al-Muhajiroun, an Islamic extremist group in London, the officials said....

...Bakri, also known as Omar Bakri Fostok, has been connected by U.S. and British intelligence to bin Laden and has openly supported bin Laden's calls for jihad, or holy war, against the United States, the officials said. Williams' memo mentioned one fatwa involving Bakri that identified several possible targets, including airports, the officials said.

Not mentioned in Williams' memo were several other links between the London sheik, who is of Syrian descent, and bin Laden.

Bakri was one of several Muslim leaders to receive a letter faxed from Afghanistan in the summer of 1998 from bin Laden that laid out four objectives for a jihad against the United States, including downing airliners.

"Bring down their airliners. Prevent the safe passage of their ships. Occupy their embassies. Force the closure of their companies and banks," the bin Laden letter to Bakri read.

Bakri also is quoted as calling himself "the mouth, eyes and ears" of bin Laden and his group recruits young Muslims to participate in a jihad across the globe.

Shortly after the USS Cole bombing in Yemen in October 2000, Bakri received an international call claiming responsibility for the attack on the U.S. ship from "Muhammad's Army," an extremist group previously known to be active only in the Russian regions of Chechnya and Dagestan. U.S. officials believe bin Laden was behind that attack as well.

Bakri has issued other fatwas against British leaders and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf — some since Sept. 11, officials said.

Piasa has posted more info, did you see it?

[WestCoastGal]

Great connect the dots post. Thank you, keep up the good work.......we may still figure this out here before the alphabets do.

Thanks for the ping nwa!! You find all the good stuff. :)

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks for posting that, I will say it again because it is so important. His name was plastered all over the TV over a year ago as the FBI's Most Wanted blah blah blah and how dangerous that bunch was and then it just dropped off the radar.

The ringleader of the AQ Mexico/South American operation Jafar the Pilot (Adnan G. El Shukrijumah) is still at large...

[WestCoastGal]

From Michelle Malkin.....(last year)

Adnan G. El Shukrijumah is a Saudi terror suspect with a $5 million bounty on his head. The FBI has been hunting him for nearly a year. He has been billed as the "next Mohammed Atta." Only unlike Atta, he isn't flying in and out of our airports. He's apparently dancing around the southern border, down Mexico way. According to the El Paso Times:

Officials on both sides of the border have asked law enforcement officials, including Border Patrol agents and El Paso?s bridge inspectors, as well as the community at large to be on the lookout for Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, 29, a native of Saudi Arabia who may be using a Guyanese, Canadian or Trinidadian passport.
Shukrijumah was spotted in Honduras earlier this year, FBI officials said, and used to reside in Trinidad and Tobago, off the coast of Latin America. "He is believed to be one of the most dangerous cell leader below the leadership of al-Qaeda who plans to hurt the United States," Art Werge, spokesman for the FBI in El Paso, said.

Officials said Shukrijumah might be using immigrant-smuggling routes through Central America and Mexico to get to the border...

Some Names of Al Qaeda Terrorists Plotting Hot Summer for America

DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources reveal that US counter-terrorist authorities are focusing on tracking down two key suspects: a 32-year old Pakistani woman called Aafaya Siddiqui, doctor of neurology who attended a university in the Boston area, and Adnan G. Al Shukrijmah, an al Qaeda activist known to have spent time in Florida.

Our sources add that American and foreign counter-terror and intelligence agencies are also hunting for Midaat Mursi, known as Abu Khabab, prominent member of al Qaeda’s operational partner, the Egyptian Jihad Islami, who is considered the organization’s top expert on radiological bombs. Mursi heads a number of terrorist rings who have been instructed to infiltrate the United States through Canada for a dirty bomb attack. They may have made the crossing already.
