Exclusive: Suicide Bomb Teams Sent to U.S., Europe

ABC News ^ | June 18, 2007 | Brian Ross

Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.

Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9.

A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.

"These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places," Dadullah says on the tape. "Why shouldn't we go after them?"

The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English.

"So let me say something about why we are going, along with my team, for a suicide attack in Britain," he said. "Whether my colleagues, companions and Muslim brothers die today or tonight, every drop of our blood will invigorate the Muslim (unintelligible)."

U.S. intelligence officials described the event as another example of "an aggressive and sophisticated propaganda campaign."

Others take it very seriously.

"It doesn't take too many who are willing to actually do it and be able to slip through the net and get into the United States or England and cause a lot of damage," said ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism official.

Headline? "U.S. DOJ warns border patrol to 'be careful.' 'Harming or violating the rights of suicide bombers entering the U.S. will be punished by 11- 12-year prison terms,' said a DOJ spokesman."

Hey! it could happen. Washington is a not-so-funny Monty Python Flying Circus parody, it seems to me.

Sorry to correct you, but that is not a MANPAD but a rocket propelled grenade that is sometimes uses against slow low-flying aircraft, mainly helicopters. RPG’s are mainly used for attacking fortified positions, tanks, APC’s, armored and unarmored vehicles.

[KoRn]

I’d say it’s tough work to put a good suicide bomber team together. They have to find people who are both smart enough to be effective in executing the plan, and stupid enough to be willing to kill themselves in doing so.

[SFC Chromey]

that is an RPG, still dangerous, but nothing fancy.

[mylife]

Mullah Dadulla is worm dirt

[R.W.Ratikal]

The time is rapidly nearing when U. S. citizens will have to do what the government in Washington refuses to do: protect America.

Bring it on..

Who in their right mind would be “drooling” over terrorist attacks that will most certainly kill and maim innocent people? Please give us an example...

[sappy]

Doing the jobs Americans won’t do.

Thanks for the open border.

[jedward]

Not to diminish the threats, but the title of this story is not supported by the content. Very poor editing decision, very wreckless of ABC.

[gidget7]

Call me an idiot, but why, if they know where this camp is, is this camp still existing?

[Cindy]

General Note: Jihad, jihadis, jihad propaganda, jihad threats is an everyday occurance. The jihadis use the internet as their primary communication source. This should surprise no one who does not have their head buried in the sand.

Good, I hope Texas give them you know what!. What is to stop Texans who own land along the border from building “the fence”. Would it be prohibited? Even if it was past the fed owned land? Just curious.

[Sender]

The suicide bombers would immediately be labeled as a few extremists and everyone would caution the public not to associate these random events with any...group.

CAIR would leap into action, worried that we might.

[sappy]

and on the front page of CNN we are going to continue to send aid to palestinians.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You mean like the DC snipers and the guy at LAX?

[samadams2000]

Read tag line please.

Yes, and the police will immediately surround the mosques to protect them against any possible backlash from angry Americans.
