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.

It has been said that those things which do not destroy us, make us stronger. And so will it be with radical is-slime. We as a nation and a people will either succumb to destruction, or we will regain our will and courage - and do what is required to end the problem.

An Islamic army several hundred strong? Sheesh, I might be able to take them myself, given the :protection" I have here on the ranch.

All I can say is if they start crap here, we will end it here.

There are lots of things you have never heard of and your reaction is typical American disbelief unless you have felt or touched it.

Wake up and start to understand that terrorism is not only on your doorstep, it is in your backyard too!

Soft targets will be first!

I agree with you. I was really being too overly dismissive. But you are correct in your assessment.

MEXICO 4 - gringos "O" in Olympic Soccer Qualification Thriller


The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of DefeatWe just heard this morning that Mexicans are still dancing the "Jarabe Tapatio" in Jalisco. Last evening, the Mexican National Soccer Team whipped the USA team, 4 goals to nothing, for the right to go to the Athens Olympics this summer.

It appears that the pre-game "PsysOps" by the Mexican fans totally demoralized the red, white and blue team, stopping it from even scoring one goal against the talented and highly motivated Mexican green, white and red eleven. The USA soccer team was unable to endure the constant jeering and booing by the Mexican fans during the Olympic qualification soccer tournament that took place in the Mexican state of Jalisco, the birthplace of the "Mariachi", "Tequila" and the "Jarabe Tapatio". Last Thursday after a USA victory against Canada, Mexican fans booed the USA team off the field and chanted Osama! Osama! Osama!

The thrilling soccer victory over the behemoth to the north is the second USA elimination from the Greek Summer Olympics by Mexico. Last November, Mexico eliminated the USA in baseball for the right to go to Athens.

The decisive victory by Mexico demonstrates that, everything being equal, the USA is not what it claims to be. International bullies can be defeated on an equal playing field. The humble Vietnamese people did it and it looks like the Iraqi resistance fighters are on their way to doing it as well.


Mexican Olympian Soccer Team:
Jose de Jesus Corona, Gerardo Espinoza, Mario Perez, Aaron Galindo, Ismael Rodríguez, Diego Martinez (Captain), Francisco Rodriguez, Luis Perez (Luis Sandoval, 78’), Juan Pablo García (Gonzalo Pineda, 67’), Sergio Amaury Ponce, Rafael Márquez Lugo (Ismael Iñiguez, 80’)

Coach: Ricardo Lavolpe

Congratulations, you have just spoken the doctrine used by the Israelis. Whenever a suicide bomber strikes, they tear a house down. I'm with you, and the Israelis, in that these people don't care about dieing. So we need to give them an incentive not to do stuff...like the fact that their family will die homeless in povery.

I don't think Alaska is one of the 40. There is not a single muslim in the entire state of Alaska. And I doubt seriously that Montana, North Dakota or Wyoming are on the list either.

My hunch is that if they really want aheck of alot of trouble...then duplicate 9-11. It wouldn't take much effort to allow GW to start assination teams to kill off various mullahs throughout the free-world and then pick them off one at a time in Muslim countries. Without any real leadership, these Mosque coffee houses dry up real quick. If you terminated 300 Mullahs...things would rapidly change throughout the Muslim world.

I'll make a prediction: if there's another terrorist attack, the feds will be just as busy trying to keep localities and the citizenry at bay, as they will be trying to ferret out all of the filthy jihadists that slipped through the Patriot Act net. Expect the aftermath to be just as ugly as the attack itself.
