Next US terror attack 'could be by white Americans or Europeans'
Telegraph.co.uk ^ | 10 Sep 2008 | Tom Leonard

As Barack Obama and John McCain head to New York's Ground Zero seven years after 19 Middle-Eastern hijackers brought devastation to the US mainland, counter-terrorism experts believe that any future attack will be made by terrorists with an "American face".

They point to reports of white faces in terrorism training camps in Pakistan - the so-called "white men of Waziristan", a reference to the remote tribal area where both al-Qaeda and the Taliban have bases.

Experts believe that dozens of westerners have undergone such training as their leaders try to recruit non-Middle Eastern Asians, particularly ethnic Caucasians, who are less likely to attract the attention of security and law enforcement agencies.

Al-Qaeda's recent decision to put out videos in English and a similar change on extremist "jihadi" websites have also been cited of evidence of a new strategy to find recruits who are less likely to attract the attention of security and law enforcement agencies.

Such concerns were sharpened last week after the arrest of three Germans over an alleged plot to destroy a club used by US servicemen.

Two of the three were white, ethnic Germans and all had allegedly been trained in camps in Waziristan.

"There is no bigger worry for the US counter-terrorism community than young Caucasian men who have turned to al-Qaeda," Roger Cressey, a former National Security Council official in the Clinton and Bush administrations, told the US news network MSNBC.

Now I may be somewhat off track here but this is definitely a double edged sword.

If the jihadists are allowing “white men” into their terror camps it will make it that much easier for our intelligence agencies to infiltrate their ranks. While I'm not overly excited by this report it could be the crack in the door that will lead to their downfall.

actually I tend to believe that this sort of recruitment is taking place - look at the Oklahoma University bomber - white male who converted to islam, apparently had a pakistani roommate who vanished.

While that may be an underlying goal, the fact remains that the article is correct.

“There is no bigger worry for the US counter-terrorism community than young Caucasian men who have turned to al-Qaeda.”

Remains true. Remember Georgia (Ex. CCCP) is in the Caucasus as are Azerbaijan and Chechnya. If they have the language skills, they look just like europeans. There are also the poor converts to Islam.

Additionally, colostomy bags are usually fairly small. The phrase you are looking for is sewerage plant or Sump Truck or possibly a honey bucket after a three day blizzard.

I wouldn't be surprised if alQuaeda tried a terrorist attack with people who look Caucasian, and that includes Caucasian women terrorists as well.

They are desperate for a victory, any kind of victory, and it has not been for a lack of trying. We've stayed reletively safe and secure, and a great deal of thanks and gratitude is owed to President Bush and all the people who work behind the scenes protecting our nation's security.

Next US terror attack 'could be by white Americans or Europeans'

Next US terror attack 'could be by green Andorians or Klingons'

But I'm betting on 'faithful mohammedans' no matter what their color or species.
