Briton trained as 9/11 hijacker

Christina Lamb

A FORMER waiter in a Manchester curry house was recruited by Al-Qaeda and trained as a hijacker in preparation for the September 11 attacks.

The British Muslim was enlisted at a mosque in Oldham and attended terrorist training school in Pakistan. But he had second thoughts about his suicide mission as he flew to America and surrendered to the police after gambling away thousands of pounds given to him by Al-Qaeda.

The FBI’s counter-terrorism taskforce questioned the 29-year-old man for three weeks at Newark, New Jersey, in the spring of 2000. There, agents refused to believe his claim that terrorists were planning to fly passenger jets into buildings, even though he passed lie detector tests.

Gambling habit led Briton into deadly clutches of Al-Qaeda

Christina Lamb

THE disastrous journey that led a waiter at a curry house in Manchester to the United States to hijack a plane for Al-Qaeda began not in a mosque but at a roulette table.

“Every night when we closed up at the Sher Khan, we would drive around the casinos,” he said.

“One night I thought I would go in with the others to see what it was like.”

His decision that rainy Manchester night seven years ago was one that he believes he will always regret. Soon he was gambling almost every night and ran up debts that allowed Al-Qaeda to recruit him with an offer to pay them off.

He now believes that had he not given himself up to the FBI in 2000, he would have become the only British hijacker among those who crashed planes in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001, killing nearly 2,800 people.

But, but..... Jamie Gorelick told me that George Bush knew 9-11 was going to happen.

[ScaniaBoy]

Paging Richard Clarke!

[Howlin]

A "Holy Crap" ping!

[Howlin]

It just never, ever ends.

[Howlin]

Well, that's some smoke.

In the words of Eddie Murphy (from standup probably before you were born) "Now that's a fire!"

OMG!
I'm going to bed.
I have to.

[Howlin]

Are you having a case of the vapors?

[onyx]

The vapors?
What dey?
I am just tired.

[MEG33]

I'm here. I had a computer problem. Electricity went off and it took hours to get this computer on line again.

This makes me very sad. Think what we could have avoided.

From the article...

He still has the tapes he recorded of diatribes against the “sex-craving pig” Bill Clinton

Funny how from all the things that inspired him to terrorism it is the "sex craving Bill Clinton" that is cited. Someone should tell us to our lefty friends who are so incensed with 'why they hate us'!

[windchime]

"Holy Crap", no kidding!

Howlin, I don't think any of us will live long enough to know all that X42's administration has done to put this country in jeopardy.

[bonfire]

Hopefully there will be someone in Heaven who can tell us! :)

[boxsmith13]

Amazing that you have to read this in a London newspapaer. British papers are consistently reporting on things you neverhear here. I hope Rush and Sean talk about this today

The Clintons were the biggest con artists ever to hold that office.

We on FR tried our best to alert the rest of the nation to the Clintons.

Most of America slept while the Clintons did their dirty work which included a callous disregard for our lives and liberties.

[Amelia]

OMG. Do you suppose it will make the U.S. papers?

Naaaahhhh........

Nothing to see here. Move along.
