Remember the AQ has suitcase nukes claims, AQ has chem/bio weapon claims, UBL will be caught in two weeks claim, etc., etc.???

No. I don't remember Ijaz making any of those claims. Anybody else?

[Alas Babylon!]

Well, I ran a thread in breaking news two months ago about Ijaz claiming Al Qaeda was hijacking ships and kidnapping sailors and captains out in the waters of South East Asia. Ijaz claimed that these might be used to blow up one (or more) of our port cities. No one has reported on this since, and nothing (so far -- fingers still crossed) has happened.

Nope, me either.

. . . UBL will be caught in two weeks claim . . .

This one I DO remember. I generally think his info is good, however. I just think he's a bit, well, optimistic sometimes.

1) Ijaz was making all sorts of dire predictions on FoxNews after 9/11 and one of them was about AQ and suitcase nukes. Anyway, here's a more recent article about AQ and nukes: Mansoor Ijaz, Weekly Standard 02/19/2003 - ... a picture emerges of an unparalleled potential threat to the global economy from the paralysis that could be caused by a crude plutonium bomb exploding in the belly of an al Qaeda ship with bin Laden onboard.

2. After the nuke claims didn't pan out, Ijaz began talking about AQ and chem/bio weapons. Don't have a link but it was a hot topic late last year.

3. After KSM was captured in March, Ijaz said several times on FNC that UBL would be captured "soon". When pressed for a time frame, he said "two weeks". I'm sure there are contemporaneous posts here on FR documenting this.
