The biochemist who provided the keys to the bombmaking flat was represented by an attorney who has been arrested in late March and is being held incommunicado. By the name Mamdouh Ismail. Egyptian authorities allege he has served as Ayman Zawahiri’s chief conduit to jihadists in Egypt, Yemen, and Iraq. The intermediary was AQ’s spymaster who wrote a treatise on intelligence that included a fairly lengthy discussion of the Amerithrax investigation.
Mohammed Junaid Babar, a jihadi turned informant from Queens, has explained that the 7/7 bombmaking flat provided by the biochemist, was also used to store and ship things to al-Hadi, Ayman Zawahiri’s chief aide.
Babar testified in the 2006 trial against the London bombers. He is cooperating and by reason of cooperation of the Brits on this issue with the US, will be available to testify in an Amerithrax prosecution. He studied pharmacy at St. John’s University in New York but dropped out and left for Pakistan sometime after 9/11.
To make it even sweeter, al-Hadi has now been captured and is being held incommunicado, after eventually having been moved to Guantanamo. It was al-Hadi, Ayman’s chief aide, who was calling the shots on 7/7.
So basically, the CIA and FBI have long kicked ass in Amerithrax but just couldn’t share. And we wouldn’t have wanted them to if it led to such successes as al-Hadi’s capture etc.
The media is in the job of reporting news, not speculation (or even for the most part, analysis) and so they are not to blame for not reporting any of this.
