Terrorists ready for holy war in 40 American states

IAN BRUCE, Defence Correspondent February 11 2004

ISLAMIC terror commandos are being infiltrated into the US in preparation for "an American jihad" from within, according to intelligence sources. Dozens of radicals trained in camps in western Pakistan and Kashmir are already believed to have slipped into the country and been absorbed in sleeper cells in unsuspecting Muslim communities as the vanguard of a holy army estimated to be several hundred strong. An FBI spokesman said al Qaeda and allied organisations were thought to be operating in 40 American states, awaiting orders for terror attacks. An official said up to 400 known radicals had passed through the camps. Many of the camps are run by Harakat-ul-Ansar and Lashkar-e-Taiba, militant groups with links to al Qaeda and a history of grooming guerrillas to attack security forces. India and Pakistan last month announced a peace initiative on disputed Kashmir. General Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan's president, said his country would not allow terrorist training on its soil. However, Indian and US intelligence agencies claim to have surveillance photographs and intercepted signals which show that between 60 and 70 camps are still in use. Some which were closed after the September 11 attacks on the US have also been reactivated. Pakistani authorities have arrested hundreds of al Qaeda suspects, including Abu Zubaydah, its top recruiting officer, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, chief of operations, and Ramzi Binalshibh, paymaster of the September 11 hijackers. US officials suspect that Pakistan's inter-services intelligence agency, which created and fostered the Taliban movement in Afghanistan, has not broken all its Islamic links with terrorist organisations. FBI agents last year arrested 11 men, including nine US citizens, for involvement in what became known as "the Virginia jihad". All were accused of engaging in terrorist training at camps run by Lashkar-e-Taiba. Six have since pleaded guilty. Ashraf Jehangir Qazi, Pakistan's ambassador to the US, yesterday denied the existence of any terrorist camps in his country or in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. In Ukraine yesterday, the foreign ministry denied reports that scientists had sold nuclear weapons to al Qaeda. Markian Lubkiyvskyi, a spokesman, said Ukraine had transferred all its nuclear weapons to Russia by June 1, 1996.

As long as they'll work cheap and fill the jobs of American businesses that Americans can't fill they're always welcome...

Just tell them to be sure and send in their(maybe your) phony SS number so the Bush administration can send their relatives their SS checks.

Isn't this open border, immigration "free for all" fun?

I would be surprised if there weren't many thousands of these murdering fanatics in this country.

You work for them or something? =o)

How about that? We're ready for it too.

"However, Indian and US intelligence agencies claim to have surveillance photographs and intercepted signals which show that between 60 and 70 camps are still in use. Some which were closed after the September 11 attacks on the US have also been reactivated."

So what do we do? Will Pakistan prove to be a true ally, or not?

Do we wait for internal strikes, by people that plan to die anyway?

Do we pre-emptively fly into Pakistan, and get it started?

Islam wishes to start a WW.

[lewislynn]

So we need them to commit acts of terrorism Americans won't commit.

Someone must think so. They're getting through the open gates and no one in our government seems to care for fear it might slow down the Mexican trucks and bring our outsourced economy to it's knees.

Hold on, Akbar! We've only got 36 states with must-issue concealed carry laws on the books.

What do they expect? If literally *millions* of illegal aliens infiltrate into this country every year or so, why would they be surprised if a few thousand terrorist walk right in with agendas of mass murder?

Isn't this expected?

An FBI spokesman said al Qaeda and allied organizations were thought to be operating in 40 American states, awaiting orders for terror attacks.

Lets see, were are over their bombing the sh*t out of their buddies, and the FBI tells us their fanatical friends are over here setting up shop in 40 states?

While the same time our own politicians are going out of their way to offer driver's licenses, and amensty plans to millions of others that are breaking our laws and entering our country illegally. Is it me, or is this absolute chaos.

...unsuspecting Muslim communities

No such thing.

We don't need them — we already have the Democrats here.
