Threat Matrix: October 2006

Posted on 10/01/2006 5:29:13 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
Karzai Says bin Laden Not in Afghanistan
-Full Story-

President Hamid Karzai has insisted that Osama bin Laden is not in his country, in the latest installment in a row with the leader of Pakistan who says the Al-Qaeda chief is in Afghanistan.

Other militant leaders including Islamist warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar were also not in the country, Karzai told reporters in a briefing about his visit to the United States that was overshadowed by the spat.

'I can assure you they are not in Afghanistan,' Karzai said yesterday after being asked for his reaction to comments by Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf who said Thursday that bin Laden is here.

Chertoff: Web could be terror training camp

Disaffected people living in the United States may develop radical ideologies and potentially violent skills over the Internet and that could present the next major U.S. security threat, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said on Monday.

"We now have a capability of someone to radicalize themselves over the Internet," Chertoff said on the sidelines of a meeting of International Association of the Chiefs of Police.

"They can train themselves over the Internet. They never have to necessarily go to the training camp or speak with anybody else and that diffusion of a combination of hatred and technical skills in things like bomb-making is a dangerous combination," Chertoff said. "Those are the kind of terrorists that we may not be able to detect with spies and satellites."

Chertoff pointed to the July 7, 2005, attacks on London's transit system, which killed 56 people, as an example a home-grown threat.

To help gather intelligence on possible home-grown attackers, Chertoff said Homeland Security would deploy 20 field agents this fiscal year into "intelligence fusion centers," where they would work with local police agencies.

By the end of the next fiscal year, he said the department aims to up that to 35 staffers.

"New armed group announces `jihad`"
Sunday October 15, 2006 (0009 PST)

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "TORKHAM: Qari Abdul Rahman Saeed, a purported spokesman for a so called new armed group, announced to join the ongoing armed resistance against the Afghan government and the presence of foreign forces in Afghanistan.

The purported spokesman said the new group would independently operate in the name of Jamat-ud-Da`awa Al-Salafia Wal Qitaal in the eastern parts of the country.

In a telephonic call to Pajhwok`s correspondent, the spokesman said they had 90 fighters at the moment."

"So who really did 9/11? Muslims? Americans? Part 2 September 23, 2006
Posted by inshallahshaheed in Reflections, Videos, America, Thinking Aloud, Movements, Jihad, Intellectual's Corner, Politics."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "4. There are two famous Islamic Jihad Movements that have recently joined al-Qa’eda:

a. Jama’atul Islamiyya (a.k.a., Egyptian Islamic Jihad) – This is the resistance group that assassinated Anwar Sadat in Egypt. Their main leader is the blind Shaykh ‘Umar ‘Abdur Rahman (may Allah free him). Some of the members of this group had later regretted the assassination and even gave up Jihad; Shaykh ‘Umar ‘Abdur Rahman showed his dissatisfaction in this. Other members broke away from them and continued the Jihad with Shaykh ‘Umar on their side. They merged with al-Qa’eda in 2001.

b. Al Jama’atus Salafiyya ad Da’watu wal Qitaal (a.k.a., Salafi Group for Call and Combat) – This is the Jihad movement based in Algeria with a sizeable amount of Mujahideen that are fighting to overthrow the [France] Government of Algeria (who had originally unjustly taken over the Algerian elections militarily after the Islamic movement that had intended to establish Shari’ah had won). The movement is an outgrowth of the GIA (it appears to have broken away from the GIA since approximately 1998) and is currently the most effective armed group inside Algeria. In contrast to the GIA, the GSPC has gained some popular support through its pledge to avoid civilian attacks inside Algeria. The movement then joined al-Qa’eda in 2006.

Further, the Taliban (mainly its Commander, Mullah Dadullah) has repeatedly claimed their ties and that they share the same views with al-Qa’eda in numerous interviews and statements."

3/11: ETA Provided False Identifications to the Islamic Terrorists that Attacked the WTC in 1993
City FM (Spainish Radio News Channel) ^ | 17 October 2006 | Javier Oyarzábal (transl. J Aguilar)

Posted on 10/17/2006 5:56:29 AM PDT by J Aguilar

New links between ETA and Islamic terrorism

ETA provided false identifications to the Islamic terrorists that attacked the World Trade Center in 1993

Madrid. Javier Oyarzábal (Information Services of CITY FM) – Eusebio Arzalluz aka “Paticorto” [short leggy], a member of today’s Executive Committee of ETA and one of the most trusted men by ETA leader “Txeroki” [pronounced Cherokee], provided false documents to the Islamic Terrorists that attacked the World Trade Center in 1993.

On May 23rd of that year, a series of explosions shook a workshop for vehicle reparation in the Santa Rosa quarter, next to Managua [Nicaragua]. The outcome was: three people dead and 16 neighbouring houses destroyed. Under the debris, hidden in a underground room perfectly prepared, it appeared a huge arsenal of weapons and many compromising documents, among them, a detailed file with data to kidnap and obtain a ramson of a great number of Latin American millionaires. It also was discovered hundreds of passports from 23 different nationalities, and blank identity documents, from Nicaragua and other countries.

What had went off was a real weapon supermarket set up by ETA members, and the forged documents found were to be used by terrorist groups or insurgents of the region, occasionally under control of the Cuban secret services and protected by the Sandinistas during the period they ruled Nicaragua (1979-1990).

In the arsenal it was found 19 surface-to-air missiles and hundreds of AK-47, RPG launchers, machine guns… and a big amount of C-4, the terrorist organizations’ favourite explosive.

The first attack against the World Trade Center, in New York, took place on February 26th, 1993. A bomb went off in the parking leaving seven people dead and more than 1000 wounded. The investigation points out that the alleged main accused, Ramzi Youssef, has direct contact with Osama Bin Laden and receives founding from Al Qaeda. In possession of the detainees for this first attack against the Towers of the World Trade Centre, that same day February 26th, 1993; there are found five Nicaraguan passports and the corresponding birth certificates and driving licenses.

One of the forged passports had the picture of El Sayid Nosair, terrorist arrested in the U.S on charges of having provided the weapons to kill the rabbi Mahir Kahane. In April, a Nicaraguan tribunal sentenced six emigration civil servants for fraudulently stamp the passports found among the possessions of the terrorists of New York. In addition, it was stated that the numbers of those passports were correlative to the ones discovered after the Santa Rosa explosion.

Another data to take into account is that the workshop for repairing cars was a propriety of a Spanish citizen known as Miguel Larios-Moreno, to whom the Sandinista government has granted the Nicaraguan citizenship in 1982, after evaluating a forged Ecuatorian passport. That person that disappeared after the explosion was no other but Eusebio Arzalluz, aka “Paticorto”.

After his escape, he stayed in Cuba. He joined the active members of the terrorist group ETA in 1998, supporting “Txapote” [an ETA leader] party against a cease fire that was promoted by “Mikel Antza” [another ETA leader]. From that moment on, he began to contact members of the Algerian Islamist Group GIA. Between the end of 2002 and the beginning of the year 2003, he returned to Cuba, and remained there until the end of 2004, when today’s ETA military commander [the head of the operative cells] Garikoitz Aspiazu “Txeroki”, recalled him to make him a member of his command.

"Abu Jihad al-Misri of the Egyptian Islamic Group Issues a Response to Comments Made by Pope Benedict XVI on Islam and the Prophet Muhammad"

By SITE Institute
September 27, 2006

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Muhammad Khalil al-Hukaymah AKA Abu Jihad al-Misri, a prominent member of the Egyptian Islamic Group [al-Gama’a al-Islamiya] who had spoken in an August 2006 as-Sahab video announcing a merger with al-Qaeda, recently issued to an affiliated website a statement regarding slanderous comments made by Pope Benedict XVI to Islam and the Prophet Muhammad. Abu Jihad calls the Pope a “spiteful Crusader,” and states that ever since Joseph Ratzinger chose the Benedict name, he knew that the Pontiff would join U.S. President Bush and his alleged Crusade against Islam. Ignoring to respond to support given by both German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Bush to Pope Benedict XVI, and disregarding apologies he offered, Abu Jihad states that a call went out to the Mujahideen in Europe in general and Italy in particular to execute acts of revenge.


The statement adds that the Muslim Nation does not fail to provide “heroes” that avenge the Prophet Muhammad and Islam. To this end Abu Jihad al-Misri cites Islamic history and recent history, including the murder of Meir Kahana, the founder of the Jewish Defense League, who was killed in November 1990 by Sayyid Nosair. Nosair was also convicted with Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, the “Blind Sheikh” and spiritual leader of al-Gama’a al-Islamiya, in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing conspiracy."

"Agent fires round at smugglers"
Imperial Valley Press ^ | October 16, 2006 | Darren Simon

Posted on 10/17/2006 2:31:38 PM PDT by Ajnin

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "CALEXICO — A U.S. Border Patrol agent fired once at a group of suspected smugglers as the group reportedly attempted to assault another agent along the New River, officials said today.

No one was wounded in the shooting, Border Patrol said. One Border Patrol agent suffered an injured knee when he fell while trying to back away from the smugglers who were throwing rocks and running at the agent, officials said.

The case occurred about 5 p.m. Friday near the old Vons facility in the western portion of Calexico.

Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Lloyd Frers said two agents were working the area, one on each side of the river as they followed a group of undocumented immigrants.

As the group came up on a river gate installed to stop immigrants from making their way farther north, a group of six climbed out of the river on the west side.

Those six confronted the lone agent on the west side.

“They began throwing rocks at the agent,” Frers said, adding they started running at the agent. Frers said the agent was trying to keep some distance from the group when that agent fell.

At that time the agent working the east side of the river fired one round at the group. Frers said it was not a warning shot, stating the Border Patrol doesn’t fire warning shots. The agent fired at the group but missed. Meanwhile, Frers said, the other immigrants in the river climbed out on the east side, made their way around the gate and re-entered the river north of the gate."
