“’Jihobbyists’ No More: English-Speaking Western Jihadists Coming of Age
By Evan Kohlmann

(March 11, 2010)

SNIPPET: “Perhaps the most ironic aspect of all the media attention in the latest criminal allegations against “Jihad Jane” is that Colleen LaRose of Pennsylvania is only the latest example of this odd emerging trend in homegrown terrorism. Indeed, LaRose is hardly alone in this category, whether we speak of London resident Samina Malik, an active user on jihadi social networking forums who busied herself with transcribed Al-Qaida training manuals into English during spare time at her job working in secure areas of Heathrow Airport—or Canadian citizen Beverly Giesbrecht (a.k.a. Khadija Abdul Qahhar), who was taken hostage by the Taliban during rather suspicious travels through North Waziristan. Both men and women who were once written off as hapless wannabes and mere “jihobbyists” are unexpectedly rising to the occasion, in often quite desperate bids to prove their total commitment to the cause.

These individuals are, more frequently than not, English-speaking with only a cursory knowledge of Arabic or the Middle East.”

Captured Taliban No. 2 ‘Singing Like a Male Canary’ (back)

March 11, 2010

The former operations chief and second in command of the Afghan Taliban has been ‘singing like a male canary’ since his arrest last month in Karachi, Pakistan, counterintelligence officials said Wednesday.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who was captured by Pakistani authorities in a raid, has become ‘a vital asset in gathering information on the Taliban and other extremist groups operating in the region,’ an unnamed Pakistani official told The Washington Examiner.

BA worker ‘planned to use strike to become a suicide bomber’

snipped..............

Karim requested ‘permission’ from ‘those who appear to be able to give [it]’
to carry out an atrocity in the UK and suggested to colleagues in Yemen that
he might be able to train as a cabin crew member to work on planes during
strikes.

Snipped.............

Karim faces two charges of planning suicide bombings and his own martyrdom -
one attack in the UK and one overseas. He is also charged with raising funds
and sending the money to Yemen and Bangladesh ‘knowing or having reasonable
cause to suspect’ it was to be used for terrorism.
