February 24, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has dispatched the elite commando force that hunted down Saddam Hussein to Afghanistan for a new operation aimed at getting Osama bin Laden, officials said yesterday. Military sources confirmed that members of the shadowy Task Force 121, the unit that conducted the high-tech search for Saddam and his henchmen, have recently begun operating in the remote mountainous region along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where bin Laden and key al Qaeda and Taliban fugitives are believed to be hiding. The Task Force is made up of highly trained Delta and SEAL commandos, as well as CIA paramilitary operators. It operates outside normal military channels.

white, earrings, bigtime tatoos. He not a typical looking hells angel member?

[Indie]

He'd have a Hells Angel tattoo if he was a confirmed member I do believe.

Did you look at the composite sketch? I don't think he looks like your average white biker dude at all. Article said they are investigating the possibility that he may have visited jihad websites.

He doesn't sound like an Master of Science degree holder but a search for CMM [assuming they weren't his initials] found this:
Center for Molecular Modeling

I don't know, tune into American Chopper on Discovery, he looks like he could have walked off the set to me.

Also, if you look up C.M.M. and cross, there appears to be an urban hip hop religous culture: Cross Movement Ministries, Inc.

do they have a website? is Islam their religion?

[knak]

thank you

[Revel]

The way I read that it just says that he may have been a member of a terroist group that is talked about at jihad web sites. Not that he was visiting them.

[freeperfromnj]

That's what's strange. It's obviously Christian-related --not Muslim. The movement appears to be a black gangsta, hip hop, urban, street movement.

did they release his name?

[knak]

CCM is also an abbreviation for Commander. I'm wondering if the cross could be like a medal? Are there any pics of the guys tattoos anywhere? Or a better description.

[oceanview]

Hmm. A navy veteran? Tatoos, commander, diving...

[freeperfromnj]

it just says that he may have been a member of a terroist group

You're right. I misread it. Your version is even more disturbing

[Revel]

Not that I know of. I don't know if they know his name.

[knak]

meant cmm; not ccm

[knak]
