Threat Matrix: September 2007
Previous Thread ^

Posted on 09/01/2007 6:24:54 PM PDT by nwctwx

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
The Birth of al Qaedastan

In the year 2016, the world may find itself gloomily marking September 6 as the tenth anniversary of the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Waziristan. The Emirate received de facto recognition when the Taliban used the name on the ceasefire agreement they signed with Pakistan on that day in 2006. If things go terribly wrong in the coming decade, they could come to rule a mountainous fragment of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Emirate would be a nightmare state: Osama bin Laden as sultan, Ayman al Zawahiri as vizier, and Mullah Omar the spiritual leader. An economy built on smuggling and heroin. Primary export: terrorism. Welcome to ‘Al Qaedastan’.

Analysts say the rise of a terrorist state straddling the rugged area between Pakistan and Afghanistan is now viable. The reason is a number of troubling trends. One, the revival of a Taliban firmly in the control of Al Qaeda. Two, the seeming inability of either Kabul or Islamabad to defeat the new threat militarily. Three, and the most striking, the Taliban’s systematic supplanting of the traditional tribal leadership in the area. Full story...

I think at first glance, everyone immediately thought of the anthrax letters.

Upon second glance, the writing in not the same.

Greetings:
This is an indicator of the Islamist terrorists using Hispanics, specially gang members as their paid logistical support.

Attacking our school children has clearly been demonstrated as a tactic BUT what many are missing is that school buses are “invisible” and can transport the terrorists to/from crticial locations without search or interference by law enforcement. Similar to UN ambulances used by Palestinians to carry arms and personnel unobstructed as cover.

Who stops and searches an “empty “ school bus? With suicide bombers or terrorists concealed on the floor.

What school can distinguish between a genuine pick up and a terrorist operation to kidnap a busload of our kids?

At least 15 years ago I could see that there would be a logical evolution and symbiosis with gangs, narcotics, and terrorists. I just wish that the decision makers would have been thinking along the same lines.
