This is a very interesting article you pinged me to though. thank you. I have a few things clipped that I can't figure out. see below: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1526294/posts?page=9#9
Statement of
Chris Swecker
Assistant Director, Criminal Investigative Division
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Before the
Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere
House International Relations Committee
April 20, 2005
>>>>Although there have been recent media reports alleging that MS-13 gang members have met with an al-Qa'ida operative in Honduras and that al-Qa'ida financed a MS-13 gang summit, there is no credible, independent reporting to support or otherwise corroborate these reports. Current analysis also supports the assessment that it is unlikely that MS-13 and al-Qa'ida would form an overt partnership for both security and ideological reasons.<<<<<<
From main article post:
>>> The Bush administration has said Padilla, a former Chicago gang member, sought to blow up hotels and apartment buildings in the United States and planned an attack with a "dirty bomb" radiological device.<<<<
And more gang linkage here from official sources:

America's Most Dangerous Gang
Why do they think that AQ working with gangs is unrelated???
"Why do they think that AQ working with gangs is unrelated???"
Good question....it is as plain as the nose on our respective faces.
FYI, my post is unclear.
Where it says:
"From main article post:
>>> The Bush administration has said Padilla, a former Chicago gang member, sought to blow up hotels and apartment buildings in the United States and planned an attack with a "dirty bomb" radiological device.<<<<"
That is referencing the main article in this post:
