Trans-Alaska pipeline named in online manual
"Jihad groups" in Canada are being urged to cross the border to carry out terrorist attacks against the United States, a Washington research group says.
A 12-page document recently posted on an al-Qaeda-affiliated Internet forum says small groups of terrorists with explosives expertise should enter the United States from Canada.
The scenario is reminiscent of the 1999 attempt by extremists in Montreal to bomb Los Angeles airport — except this time the targets are oil and gas fields, refineries and pipelines.
The port of Valdez and the Trans-Alaska pipeline are specifically named as targets: "Most of this pipeline is laying on the surface … and it passes for the most part near the highway."
The attacks should be mounted by "groups who can reach American terrorist regime, either directly or through other neighbouring countries, like Canada or Mexico," it says.
"This group should be divided into smaller groups of 4-5 individuals, who have the knowledge and skills need[ed] for explosives."
Complete with links to maps, the online manual calls itself a response to statements by al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al Zawahiri calling for more terrorist attacks.
It was posted recently on an Internet forum commonly used by al-Qaeda supporters, says the SITE Institute, a U.S. research group that monitors terrorist Web sites.
The scenario in which terrorists based in Canada cross into the United States has haunted both governments since al-Qaeda-trained Montreal resident Ahmed Ressam was caught at the border while on his way to blow up Los Angeles airport.
Last year, the FBI issued a bulletin warning that the Canadian border "may still provide opportunities for operatives to penetrate U.S. national security, particularly if Western passports are used."
The agency is still looking for several Canadian al-Qaeda members — notably Abderaouf Jdey of Montreal and Amer El Maati of Toronto — whom it calls a "clear and present danger to America" because they allegedly want to carry out terrorist attacks in the United States.
One of the three stated aims of Canada's national security policy is "ensuring Canada is not a base for threats to our allies" but Ottawa is sensitive to U.S. concerns about the border.
Canadian ambassador Frank McKenna demanded an apology last month when Montana Senator Conrad Burns said the 9/11 hijackers had entered the United States from Canada.
The Senator apologized for the mistake but said "this does not and should not overshadow the problems that clearly exist on the border between the United States and Canada … we still have much work ahead of us.
Pipelines are considered possible terrorist targets due to the economic disruption an attack could cause but also because of the perception that Western policies in the Middle East are driven by oil interests.
"They spilled our brothers' blood and they stole our oil resources," says the document. "This is our time to teach them a lesson in how to deal with Muslims."
Hmmmm?? Is this really good info .. or is it misinformation .. in order to get us to beef up Canadian border and lessen southern borders ..??
I hope somebody with some smarts can determine the truth.
Is this advise from the national post? or are they just passing along the material to terrorists who may not have recieved it?
If the mooslims attack the AK pipeline, they can get a double payoff, because our own enviro whackos will demand that we shut down any infrastructure that terrorists could use to contaminate our pristine ground and water.
I figured out how to deal with muslims a long time ago. Nothing has happened since to change my assessment:
Shoot them on sight. Works every time.
Oh we already know how to treat IslamoFacist Terrorists we just haven't so far decided to do it. Push it and you'll find out. Want to know what will happen? Read your History Books on how we ended WWII.
They hate the West. Why (do we allow them) are they here ?
Smart choice! Add transmission lines and substations and the country will be screwed thanks to enviro-whackos and their Liberal co-horts who've kept these things in very short supply over the years.
We have more than one southern border?
Dittohead, Snow Flake, and Bushbot, so what of it?
Terrorists coming down from Canada? Also coming up from Mexico.
Isn't Islam just wonderful?
Yep,...and the appeaser Moonbats still don't understand.
Do Simple Plan and Sum41 count as terrorists?
Doesn't most of that oil go to Asia?
The greenies should send up some people to help protect the environment?
hockey night with Mohammed ping
"We have more than one southern border?"
I believe we have SEVERAL states which make up our southern BORDERS.
You don't realize what you've said here.
I totally realize what I've said .. maybe it's YOU who is misinterpreting what I said.
