Baathist - al Qaeda collaboration extends beyond borders of Iraq
A recent Treasury Department designation and an October arrest in Italy appear to indicate that Baathist and al Qaeda members in both Europe and the Middle East have discussed and attempted various forms of suicide attacks on coalition forces which include the use of aircraft in suicide attacks.
As first pointed out the Counter Terrorism Blog, on December 6 the U.S. Treasury Department announced the designation of 7 individuals for their support of the insurgency in Iraq and/or their support of former regime officials. The designations named Fawzi Mutlaq Al-Rawi (al Rawi pictured at right via Terrorist Scorecard) in the release and cited his leadership of the Iraqi branch of the Syrian Baath Party, material support for al Qaeda, supporting Muhammad Yunis Ahmad's network in Iraq, meeting with the former commander of Saddam Hussein's Army of Muhammad and attending a meeting in Ar Ramadi, Iraq, with other senior AQI representatives "where they discussed financing, unifying AQI forces, (and) conducting airborne improvised explosive device attacks."

PING for Saddam/terrorism
Baathists and al-Qaeda jihadists - fascists and Nazis.
Sounds like a big rubber band needed to be found to power the craft...
No, we have “courageous” Senators to make sure al Qaeda’s “rights” are protected.
I should have actually put ATTEMPTED aircraft attacks. Oops.
No, but they did threaten them with panties...
Those bastards!
I'm confident that these brilliant Senators could negotiate a satisfactory peace with these guys....they seem to be ultimately reasonable people.

"Joint Inquiry into the Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001" - 5 MB pdf file - (page 211)
In February 1999, the Intelligence Community obtained information that Iraq had formed a suicide pilot unit that it planned to use against British and U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf. The CIA commented that this was highly unlikely and probably disinformation.
Wrong wrong wrong!
Don`t you know? Terrorists were everywhere except Iraq.
Least that`s what the socialist/marxist kook leftists
tell us.
You know, lock ‘em in a room together until they reach an understanding...
Thank you for the ping!
Evil working with evil.
Obviously the remnants of Saddam’s supporters must be hunted down and put behind bars. As for al-Qaeda. Tis going to be a long term battle as we can surmise. Years of dedicated work by many intel agencies world wide. Of course there are no other sane options on the table.
They linked my page! Cool!
Thank you
Bump for reference...
Flying IED’s?? Yikes!!
Thanks for the ping. Interesting.
That would result more in an "education" session than a "negotiation". I vote Reid and Durban be put in room with any two lightweight al Qaeda types.
The "negotiation" should be broadcast live on CNN.
Thanks for the ping!
CNN? Naaaaaahhhhh. Make it clinton, and show it on PPV.
We could fund the whole war...
This Baathist-terrorist connection was apparent well before the Allied military action in Iraq which overthrew the Saddam regime. Unfortunately the Dummycrats’ denial of this connection was a constant theme of their campaign in ‘04, and many of them still have their heads in the sand about this.
Bump!
Thanks for the post and ping, ikez!
