Al Qaeda leader 'in secret CIA jail'
news.com.au ^ | 15 October 2006

Posted on 10/15/2006 5:34:14 AM PDT by Aussie Dasher

A SUSPECTED al Qaeda leader, accused of being involved in September 11 and planning the 2004 Madrid train bombings, has been imprisoned in a secret US jail for the past year, Spain's El Pais newspaper reported today.

Mustafa Setmarian, 48, a Syrian with Spanish citizenship, was captured in Pakistan in October 2005 and is held in a prison operated by the US Central Intelligence Agency, Pakistani and European security service officials told El Pais.

A spokesman for the US embassy in Spain declined to comment on the report.

Setmarian's 2005 capture was reported in May of this year after the United States put a $5 million bounty on the head of the alleged founder of al Qaeda's Spanish network.

A photograph of the red-haired Setmarian has been removed from the US Federal Bureau of Intelligence's most-wanted web page.

Pakistan has not answered requests from Madrid about the whereabouts of Setmarian, wanted in Spain for allegedly training September 11 hijackers in Afghanistan and ordering Madrid commuter train attacks that killed 191 people, according to El Pais.

If the political pressure becomes too great for the CIA, my family will happily take him in.

Let's hope he's found his own, personal Jack Bauer to look after him.

Or a scientology training center. After a week listening to Tom Cruise talk about Katie Homes he'll crack.

Is there any website that keeps track of who is and who is not dead in the AQ network?

It seems that there needs to be a virtual flannel-graph with all the changes.

Someone have a link?


This seems to be the best score card IMO

Also, found this interesting:

(CBS News) CAIRO, Egypt The new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq said in an audiotape posted on the Internet Thursday that more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003.

Do you have any intel on this?

Funny, our Demagogues and socialists often think it's funny to joke about corporate or "white collar" criminals being put in a cell with a 300 lb. "Bubba" who will rape and brutalize them for a few years, but if anyone suggested such treatment for these scumbag terrorists there would be paroxysms of horror and outrage among the libs.

fwiw, I could not care less where this piece of excrement is being held, just so long as he is secured away from any communications with fellow terrorists, and I would not give one big fat yawn to know that he were being brutalized or tortured. I do not care about these scumbags, except for what info they can cough up to help break up terror networks and prevent future plots from succeeding.

A better place to hide him would be on Chris Mathews' Panel.

Yeh, no one would see him there.

Is he in a secret jail or is his location just being kept secret? ... This whole thing about secret jails is way overblown.

Agreed. Who makes up this stuff? The MSM portrays the matter as if his captors are the enemy and we're in danger with him off the streets. Crazy.

Damn it, if it really is a "SECRET;" then we don't need to know.
Period.
