Al-Ghurabaa tries to ensure survival with groups across UK
Ian Cobain and Nick Fielding Saturday July 22, 2006
A British Islamist group which is to be outlawed under new anti-terror laws has already formed scores of front organisations in an attempt to ensure its survival, according to investigators in New York. Al-Ghurabaa, formed by Omar Bakri Mohammed before he fled to Lebanon in the wake of the 7/7 bombings, heads the list of four organisations which are to be proscribed under legislation which prohibits the glorification of terrorism.
However, an investigation by police in New York - where al-Ghurabaa raised funds and recruited members under another name - alleges that it has formed 81 front organisations, support groups and affiliates in six different countries. The overwhelming majority are based in London, the home counties, the Midlands, Lancashire and West Yorkshire.

Banned cleric bids to flee Beirut
Snip: Controversial Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, who was banned from the UK, has attempted to board a ship evacuating Britons from Lebanon.
Mr Bakri Mohammed argued he should be allowed back to see his children but was turned away by British officials.
Islamic Jihad: Israel's deadliest threat
Snip: Of all the Palestinian terrorist groups, Islamic Jihad is one of the most complex and dangerous. It's smaller than Hamas, but well trained. And its members carry out their war against Israel with deadly intensity. The soldiers' Jihad chant goes like this: "Our model is the Prophet, our constitution is the Koran, our way is Jihad, our best wish is to die in Allah's way.”
Khan Younis, a city west of Gaza, is a real hub for terrorists and houses an Islamic Jihad training camp. A CBN News source spent time with Islamic Jihad's Jerusalem Brigade to learn more about their daily confrontation with Israel and their mindset as Islamists.
We observed a bunch of Islamic Jihadists on maneuvers, training to invade and fight Israel. They were learning how to ambush, how to kidnap. But their specialty is firing rockets, currently the crude Kassam.
Police collar violent jihad website operator
Snip: UK police have arrested a British citizen on charges he operated Islamic fundamentalist websites that preached "violent jihad".
The arrest of Syed Talha Ahsan on Wednesday came at the request of the US government, which released a 14-page indictment accusing him of selling books, videotapes, audio cassettes and CD-ROMs that glorified "violent jihad in Chechnya, Bosnia, Afghanistan" and of funnelling money to groups that are deemed illegal by the federal government.
The websites including azzam.com, azzam.co.uk, qoqaz.net, and qoqaz.co.uk, tout the virtues of jihad, primarily against the West and allied nations. One web page posted soon after 11 September, 2001 saved by Archive.org includes an "urgent appeal to defend Afghanistan" and features defiant quotes from the Taliban threatening any nation that aids the US in its military operations.
GREAT links Oorang and MamaDearest.
THANK YOU both.
