New Al Qaeda Leader Planning Attack Against U.S.
ABC News ^ | Wednesday, March 1, 2006

Posted on 03/01/2006 5:11:41 PM PST by kristinn

Pakistani officials have told ABC News that they believe they have indications that a new terror attack is being planned there against the United States. They tell ABC News that while their intelligence does not give any specific details as to a target or time, it does indicate that the plans are being made by an emerging top al Qaeda figure.

Pakistani military officials say Matiur Rehman, 29, a Pakistani militant, is behind the new plans for an attack against the United States. Pakistan has posted a 10-million rupee (about $166,000) award for his capture.

"He is probably Pakistan's most wanted right now," says Alexis Debat, a former adviser in the French defense ministry and now an ABC News consultant. "He is extremely dangerous because of his role as the crucial interface between the brains of al Qaeda and its muscle, which is mainly composed these days of Pakistani militants."

Pakistani officials say Rehman helped train thousands of fellow Pakistani militants at al Qaeda training camps during the late 1990s.

Well now that damn cowboy Bush went and provoked them to break their truce! It’s all our fault for wiretapping them without warrants.

LOL, I bet Jay Rockafeller won't leak that information

Of course not, leaking Al Qaeda's operational details would HELP the President.

Full Disclosure: Over half of the respondents in a recent grey_whiskers poll feel that the entire United States Democratic Party leadership should be tried for treason.

Second Disclosure: At least, I *thought* that's what my cat said. It actually sounded more like "Mrrrrrrrrrrrr" followed by rubbing on my leg, so she may have been asking for tuna.

Cheers!

These folks need to understand that they are planning the end of Islam.

Even in Islamic end-times prophecy, it is written that there will be an end to the Hajj. Looks like they nailed it on this one.

And people think Karl Rove has been distracted recently.... He is back at his old tricks of creating fear to make Democrats look impotent.

I'm pretty sure my cats feel the same way. Or else hungry. Well, probably mostly hungry.

Not easy for two 17-lb manx kittens to complain about hunger with a straight face.
