London bomber lived at Seattle mosque
Seattle Times ^ | Thursday, July 21, 2005 | By David Heath

A suspect in the London bombings lived in a Central Seattle mosque in early 2000 after he had scouted out a possible terrorist training camp in Bly, Ore. Aswat came to the Northwest in 1999 when James Ujaama, a former Seattle activist, tried to set up a jihad training camp in rural Oregon.

During that time, Aswat and Kassir "met potential candidates for jihad training, they established security for the Bly property through the use of guard patrols and passwords, and they and others participated in firearms training and viewed a video recording on the subject of improvised poisons," according to an indictment of Ujaama.

Ujaama was based in London, where he had become a follower of radical cleric Abu Hamza, an al-Qaida supporter. Abu Hamza sent Aswat to the United States to check out Ujaama's plans, authorities said. Ujaama was indicted by federal authorities in Seattle in 2002 for offering support to the Taliban. He later cooperated with government authorities to build their case against Abu Hamza. Because of his cooperation, he was sentenced to only 24 months.

Terrorist cells thrive in the US. This is one that we caught. When Ujaama was in prison, I saw his image on a clip of a terrorist training video that was posted on the web. I phoned the Seattle Times the next day and the FBI used the video to prosecute him that same week. He eventually agreed to testify and that is how they got crazy sheik Abu Hamza. Hee, hee.

Unbelievable yet it was Seattle. Mosques not just for terrorist training but also function as terrorist bed and breakfasts.

What I'm waiting for is one of these Terrorists who are identified as a "Homicide Bomber" to be a previous inhabitant of GITMO. Watch for this, it will happen

In the past, I used to enjoy taunting the haters of the usenet newsgroup: Seattle.Politics, it was unbelieveable. The hatred and the venom was INDISTINGUISHABLE from what the "terrorists" were saying.

I took it all tongue-in-cheek, but it was pretty disturbing to think that we have folks living here that seeth with such Leftist hatred. Here's a page I made late in 2001 to taunt the resident haters Seattle Politics Haters. http://www.geocities.com/seattlepolitics/

I washed my hands of that whole business and pretty much speak my mind here.

I guess it turns out to be a case of Life Imitating Art, -sad/

I live on the Eastside. Do you recall whatever happened to the muslim guy that was building a large house in a residential neighborhood - In Kenmore I think. Finn Hill area perhaps? Something like 16 bedrooms and 18 bathrooms and a large prayer room and shower room. He said "relatives" liked to visit.

I cannot believe the good people of eastern Oregon let these
scum infiltrate their community ! oh wait...they let Rajneeshville develop too , so I guess anything is possible.
Bottom line is these Mohammad daddies should be under the microscope by everyone everywhere ,and no one should sell them any rural land for sure. Neighborhood Watch needs teeth.

Your IQ is at least one standard deviation above the current temperature in NYC?

There is bad news. I guess you have something to worry about besides the Cascadia fault and a Chinese first strike.

"Do you recall whatever happened to the muslim guy"

I thought that this was a Buddhist guy and he wanted he large extended family to live with him. He said it was a residence, but it was actually a temple. I don't remember a Muslim family doing this. Could be wrong.

Do you have a job for me? A 401K?

I just started looking in earnest. This place is a freakshow, but at least I'm finally meeting some babes, one of which, btw, is an ex-Muslim from Tehran.

Speaking of Oregon, I noticed that the FEMA map of fall out after nuke attacks missed Oregon all together. Hmm, that could be why all of the terrorists want to set up tents there?
