Iran seeks swap of Brits for suicide attackers

Report says 40 Revolutionary Guard 'volunteers' held by UK

Iran apprehended British military personnel and Navy vessels earlier this week in order to secure release of 40 "suicide operations volunteers" held by the UK, according to an Iranian Revolutionary Guard source.

The source told the London Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that the British Army command in Iraq received the demand from the Revolutionary Guard, reported the Middle East Media Research Institute.

According to the source, the content of the message was very simple: "Release our comrades, whom you are holding, and we will release your soldiers."

This "change" in story reminds me of what happened recently with the hijacking in Germany. The German media were reporting one story, and then AP came along and changed the entire thing, several hours after the event.

Is it an election thing? Is the media willing to lie in order to defeat our President? I think so.

He went to enough trouble to throw his dirty pants in the reservoir, to make one ask if he wanted the whole town to have the same illness as he did.

New way to spread disease?

Hopefully treatment would have killed all germs.

This reminds me of the bags of rat poison in the water supply a few days ago, China I think.

Yes this was the one spouting off that he was going
to demand President Bush be terminated by his employer.

I swear that's absolutely pathetic. Best quote so far:

I do have the entire text of his post, as he addressed it to me. I won't repost it, but I can mail it if you really need to see it. Nasty language.

Thanks Knak.

Thanks for the heads up.

The Associated Press



MINNEAPOLIS July 1, 2004 — A man who authorities believe may have been part of an al-Qaida "sleeper cell" obtained a license to haul hazardous materials months after he was identified as a suspected terrorist by the FBI, officials said.
The FBI identified Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi as a suspected terrorist before the attacks of 2001, the Star Tribune reported in Wednesday's editions, citing unidentified law enforcement officials

"Police Searching for the next Mohammed Atta;Central Americaon Alert"

Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Panama are on alert for the possible entry of suspected terrorist Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, after Honduran authorities warned that the 29-year old suspect, referred to by law enforcement sources as "the next Mohammed Atta," may be seeking to cross into one of the countries.

Costa Rica is bordered on the north by Nicaragua and on the south by Panama.

Shukrijumah, who is considered one of the FBI's "top 5" terrorist concerns, allegedly was spotted in Honduras on May 27 at a Tegucigalpa Internet cafe.

"We found out that this man was in Tegucigalpa at the end of May," Leonel Sauceda, spokesman for the Honduran Security Ministry told media. "He was seen in an Internet cafe in the city and we confirmed that he made phone calls to France and the United States from there."

Calls were also made to Canada, according to the Security Ministry.

An official with the Honduran Security Ministry told WND the female Internet café owner recognized Shukrijumah from photos in the newspaper. Police arrived at the café just after the suspect had left.

He apparently was speaking in English, and a little in Spanish and French. The suspect was seen with two bearded individuals who "had a rough appearance," according to the government official. Information from the cafe's phone records has been relayed to various allied foreign intelligence agencies.

The Honduran official told WND that border security in Honduras, Costa Rica and Nicaragua had been strengthened after the terror suspect was spotted in Tegucigalpa.

She also said, "We don't know his arrival date or the method of his arrival."

Honduran Security Minister Oscar Alvarez currently is in a meeting with the Honduran president. The Security Ministry is working closely with the U.S. Embassy in Honduras.

Carlos Bakota, the U.S. Embassy press attache in Costa Rica, also confirmed that the country was on alert for possible entry of the suspect. Costa Rican Security Minister Rogelio Ramos will meet officials of the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica today. The US Embassy in Panama is awaiting guidance from the State Department.

The Honduran press initially quoted Security Minister Oscar Alvarez as saying Shukrijumah had been involved in a plot to disrupt shipping lanes by using explosives to damage the Panama Canal. Three hours after WND reported that FBI officials, the U.S. Embassy in Panama and the FBI legal attache in Panama had no knowledge of the allegations and could not confirm the report, Oscar Alvarez clarified the allegations and denied he referenced a plot to bomb the Panama Canal.

The bomb-plot story was also picked up by Bloomberg News, which used the Agence France-Presse story as its sole source.

Early in May, UPI reported that the Honduran Attorney General's office and the Ministry of Security were investigating possible links between the terrorist group al-Qaida and Islamic organizations in Honduras. After three months of investigations, Attorney General Ovidio Navarro told media that a network of Islamic organizations in Honduras was attempting to recruit Honduran youths.

Muslim groups allegedly offered to finance their contacts' studies in Middle Eastern countries, with the ultimate objective of recruiting followers for a guerilla war against the West. Extensive illicit trafficking in fake Honduran passports being used by Afghan and Pakistani citizens has also been reported.

Earlier this year the U.S. Embassy in Honduras sent an official report to President Ricardo Maduro revealing that a Honduran consulate in an undisclosed Latin American country was secretly issuing the documents.

Honduras is thought to be a possible al-Qaida target due to its support of the U.S. in Iraq. The threats have caused authorities to amplify efforts to track suspicious international fund transfers and to ramp up safety measures in airports, commercial ports and public areas.

An area Muslim leader has expressed skepticism of the charges, stating that the Arab-Honduran population of Honduras was mainly made up of the very young or elderly, most of whom had converted to Christianity, while maintaining the language and traditions of their Middle Eastern countries of origin.

Terror suspect Adnan G. El Shukrijumah is a former resident of Miramar, South Florida, where he attended computer and English classes at Broward Community College in 1997.

A native of Guyana, El Shukrijumah's father, Gulshai, died in Miramar on June 12. Relatives said he suffered a series of strokes since hearing his son had been named by the FBI as a serious threat to U.S. interests at home and abroad. Family members deny the charges.

The Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in Washington, D.C., said the son is also not a Saudi citizen and if he is traveling using a Saudi passport, then he has obtained it and is using it illegally. He was last spotted six months ago in Guyana.

"He is a big threat," FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela previously told media. "We believe that he could be planning terrorist activities against the U.S. interests here or abroad. So, we'd like to find him as soon as we can."

Today the FBI said it had no further comment on Shukrijumah's case or the Central American alert.

"We're going to let what's already out there in the media stand," said the official.

We gotta be careful with Jordan, as well as a lot of other supposed "friendlies", such as Germany and France. The foiled hijack in Germany should be big news if true. How did AP change the story?

[nwctwx]

This guy is bad news...

[drymans wife]

He is very bad news! If he was last seen in Honduras
at a Internet Cafe on May 27, in my opinion he has
probably left that country, maybe he is in Panama,
maybe he has moved on from there.

[Calpernia]

Thank you!

Bump! Make sure you read the full article. There is major significance to the Lycos reference.

I remember reading about the Mar-Jac/terrorist connection a while back. In case you haven't read this article from Nov. 2003, it's quite interesting. Will see if I can find anything about Mena Investments
