New Al Qaeda Leader Planning Attack Against U.S.
ABC News ^ | Wednesday, March 1, 2006

Posted on 03/01/2006 5:11:41 PM PST by kristinn

Pakistani officials have told ABC News that they believe they have indications that a new terror attack is being planned there against the United States. They tell ABC News that while their intelligence does not give any specific details as to a target or time, it does indicate that the plans are being made by an emerging top al Qaeda figure.

Pakistani military officials say Matiur Rehman, 29, a Pakistani militant, is behind the new plans for an attack against the United States. Pakistan has posted a 10-million rupee (about $166,000) award for his capture.

"He is probably Pakistan's most wanted right now," says Alexis Debat, a former adviser in the French defense ministry and now an ABC News consultant. "He is extremely dangerous because of his role as the crucial interface between the brains of al Qaeda and its muscle, which is mainly composed these days of Pakistani militants."

Pakistani officials say Rehman helped train thousands of fellow Pakistani militants at al Qaeda training camps during the late 1990s.

Hmm...it would appear that a certain young Pakistani whose relationship with Zawahiri and bin Laden is somewhat obscure, who doesn't like us, is planning a violent activity of some sort at an undisclosed location some time in the future.

Memo to young Mr. Rehman - bite me.
