Mohammed Rashed, another anti-American terrorist who received safe haven in Iraq
Earlier this year, Mohammed Rashed, a.k.a. Rashid Mohammed, was quietly convicted and sentenced in connection with the 1982 bombing of Pan Am flight 830. The attack took the life of Shigetsugu Ozawa and injured several other passengers.
Ozawa's father recalled witnessing the murder of his own son in a letter to government officials, saying "At the time, my honest emotion was to wish the plane would crash into the Hawaiian ocean as I had lost the will to live since my son was no longer alive."
Rashed belonged to the "15 May" terrorist group, which was formed in 1979 with the objective of "promoting the Palestinian cause by killing Israeli and U.S. citizens, and by causing damage to Israeli and American interests around the world." The FBI's press release states that the group is "believed to be responsible for five separate bombing missions in the early 1980s."
The "15 May"group, "was based in Iraq, with operatives around the world" and were provided safe haven by Saddam Hussein's regime to launch multiple bombing operations throughout Europe, and in this case a U.S. passenger plane headed to the U.S., from their Baghdad base.
A much more detailed list of terrorists (including numerous graphics) who recieved support and safehaven from Saddam Hussein's regime is available in Deroy Murdock's "Saddam Hussein's Philanthropy of Terrory." for American Outlook.
Some day the media is going to be called to account for their repeated lies that Iraq didn't support Al Qaeda specifically or terrorists generally.
In the interim, I was surprised to read that Mohammed Rashed was just convicted this year for the 1982 bombing of Pan Am Flight 830.
Thanks for the ping and keep up the good work.
No prob. I still have numerous stories on my desktop to compile. There's so much here its overwhelming.
nice post
I meant nice picture
Maybe he'll have a traffic accident..
And now they're covering up the progress being made here by the coalition forces and glorifying the terrorists.
About as anti-American as you can get, no?
Thanks for your work. BTTT!
