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.

No sweat. I do that all the time. :)
Anybody have a picture of this bozo? I need a new target.
Hey! You updated your screen name!
$166,000 reward ? Seems like they are pulling all the stops.
Please ask him to contact the State Dept. He can receive a student visa and attend Yale University
Snicker...So true.
And in other news, bankrobbers nationwide are ruminating about just 'one more job...'
I had too.....
Time to stake out the strip joints again.
Yeah, pretty much like the info the intel folks had before 911 that no one paid any attention to.
Indeed. While I don't think we should run around screaming that the sky is falling, it's just plain silly to ignore danger signs.
By now, no doubt Yale has contacted him to offer him a job...
LOL--GMTA? (I said the same thing in #53, more or less!)
I had a very vivid and quite crappy dream last night. I was in El Paso Texas on the east side and watched in casual shock as a famous tire company blimp nosed dived into the nw skyline followed by one hell of a mushroom cloud, followed by rolling shock and debris waves and earthquakes that made the ground look like pudding. Like I said it was a pretty crappy dream.
Old time shower humorist or just accidental?
You know the original shower post was some young lady commenting about her boyfriend being at an airport (some po-dunk airport) that was under lockdown for some yahoo taking off running through security or somesuch. She ended her post by saying she was in the shower and missed the details. A cliche was borne.
Not easy for two 17-lb manx kittens to complain about hunger with a straight face.
This image made me laugh out loud. I bet they can do it though!
...they will probably give him a scholarship...
"Islamists deserve animal rights..."
Unfortunately, animals have MORE rights than Americans these days.
$166,000 reward? Wow, they must really be serious this time.
