Pakistani Taliban commander Baitullah Mehsud has claimed responsibility for attack on a New York immigration services centre. He said, a Pakistani and another man carried it out. On Friday, a gunman has killed at least thirteen people at an American immigration service centre at Binghamton in New York State. A number of other people were injured, some of them seriously, and hostages were seized in the incident which lasted several hours. Local police say the gunman has been found dead and all the hostages have been released. The New York governor said it was a tragic day for the state. North-west of New York City police said that nearly 40 people escaped from the building but four were critically injured in the shooting. President Barack Obama, who is in Europe for a NATO summit, said he was shocked and saddened by the senseless violence.New York's two US senators, Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, also reacted to the massacre and described the incident as 'a terrible tragedy’.

Just remember, Islamberg is only a few miles from the Massacre site.

I think not.

News Conference NOW.

And I agree. If they were “rag-heads”, possibly from the area (Islamaberg), dollars to donuts, we won’t hear about it. I’ve heard no explanation yet for who the other two taken out in ‘cuffs’ were, or who the car belong to. Stinks to high heaven.

What’s funny is I don’t remember any of these groups taking responsibility for other acts within the US while Bush was in office — and there are definitely a bunch of incidents they could’ve easily claimed credit for... And, it’s not as if it’s the media that “protected” Bush from the public having knowledge of terrorist’s claims... They just didn’t even bother making them! They know Barack is a weakling, or they are attempting to help him with his(THEIR?) plan to make Afghanistan the front now (which I have a HORRIBLE feeling will be something akin to walking into an ambush for some reason... ESPECIALLY if Obama insists on taking a ground fight into the mountains of Pakistan).

I’m trying to catch up on the info. for this tragedy. Can you possibly help me with a link to where you found the information regarding the alias? Is this another instance like the OKC Bombing where they will use the suspect they can most readily mold into an acceptable persona for their agenda, and conveniently stop talking about or investigating the others?
