NEW YORK, May 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Captured Al Qaeda chief Khalid Shaikh Mohammed -- "KSM" to his interrogators -- wanted American-born terror suspect Adam Yahiye Gadahn to join a plot to blow up fuel stations outside Baltimore, according to a May 2003 classified FBI document obtained by Newsweek. Gadahn, one of the seven terror suspects displayed by Attorney General John Ashcroft last week, had a pregnant Muslim wife at the time and was not eager to participate in "martydom" (suicide) operations, KSM reported, but he was willing to help out. He says he had last seen Gadahn, who had taken the name Abu Suhayb Al-Amriki, in Karachi in October 2002, Newsweek reports in the current issue.

Just got through watching Fox News Sunday. According to Juan Williams the terror threats were political, a waste of the publics time and we are not in any danger.

Did I mention how I think Juan Williams is a fool. I nominate him to live next door to a fuel station in Baltimore.

The terrorist's PR Machine, aka the American media, want nothing but negativity to be reported about the War on Terror.

At one point in time, Juan Williams was one of the more "reasonable" lib/Dems when it came to dissecting issues and politics. Over the past year or so he's devolved into being nothing more than a useful stooge for the jihadists. Disgraceful.

Near the end of the article, THIS sentence.....

"But just because the administration may have been playing politics to shift attention from its own failings does not mean the terror warnings are unwarranted."

WHO writes THIS stuff?

I remember the bit the gas stations. Let's see: one of the participants was Jaffar the Pilot (?)brother-in-law to Dr.Mohammad Khan, who was married to Aafia Siddiqi,who was the "technical facilitator" for the cell.

Some of Jaffar's relatives owned/leased gas stations in the Baltimore area, and he tried to talk them into letting him set explosive charges in their tanks. They said,in effect:
"Hey ! We're making money here ! We're living the good life.
Go play out your jihad fantasies somewhere else."

Aafia-who at least 1 of our Freepers thinks may have been involved in the anthrax mailings-reportedly took off for Pakistan....then disappeared.Some think she's in custody,but,in truth,she could be almost anywhere-which is why the FBI is so warm for her form.

Jaffar is VERY POSSIBLY still walking among us.

You know, if these @*&#$%@#s want to commit suicide, pretending that terrorism isn't a threat here in the US, fine, but when they start to try to bring the rest of us with them, I get ticked off.
