“Fort Hood shooting: Texas army killer linked to September 11 terrorists”

SNIPPET: “Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a “spiritual adviser” to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.”

SNIPPET: Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother’s funeral was held there in May that year.

The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.”

SNIPPET: “Hasan’s eyes “lit up” when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki’s teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday’s horrific shooting spree.

As investigators look at Hasan’s motives and mindset, his attendance at the mosque could be an important piece of the jigsaw. Al-Awlaki moved to Dar al-Hijrah as imam in January, 2001, from the west coast, and three months later the September 11 hijackers Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour began attending his services. A third hijacker attended his services in California.

Hasan was praying at Dar al-Hijrah at about the same time, and the FBI will now want to investigate whether he met the two terrorists.

Charles Allen, a former under-secretary for intelligence at the Department of Homeland Security, has described al-Awlaki, who now lives in Yemen, as an “al-Qaeda supporter, and former spiritual leader to three of the September 11 hijackers... who targets US Muslims with radical online lectures encouraging terrorist attacks from his new home in Yemen”.”

“Muslim Population in the Military Raises Difficult Issues
Saturday, November 07, 2009
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
By Yochi J. Dreazen

SNIPPET: “The deadly rampage at Fort Hood is forcing Pentagon officials to confront difficult questions about the military’s growing Muslim population.

The military has worked hard to recruit more Muslims since the start of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the number of Muslim troops, while still small, has been increasing. There were 3,409 Muslims in the active-duty military as of April 2008, according to Pentagon statistics.

SLIDESHOW: Deadly Fort Hood Rampage

Military personnel don’t have to disclose their religions, and many officials believe the actual number of Muslim soldiers may be at least 10,000 higher than the Pentagon statistics. For instance, the military “Officer Record Brief” of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspect in the Fort Hood shootings, said he had “no religious preference” and didn’t identify him as a Muslim.”

OCTOBER 10, 2002 THU : (NY : JFK AIRPORT : MUSLIM CLERIC ANWAR NASSER AULAQI aka AL-AWLAKI IS DETAINED & RELEASED A FEW HOURS LATER — See SAN DIEGO CELL, FALLS CHURCH CELL, VA JIHAD/PAINTBALL CELL, OPERATION GREENQUEST) WASHINGTON – A Muslim cleric who had closed-door meetings with two of the 9-11 hijackers was detained last October [2002] at a New York airport after federal authorities identified him as the subject of a post-9-11 terror money-laundering investigation, according to a U.S. Customs incident report obtained exclusively by WorldNetDaily.

But the cleric, Anwar Nasser Aulaqi, was released soon after being taken into custody, the report shows, and allowed to catch a connecting flight here [to Wash DC], where he’d headed a large suburban mosque [Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Va] attended by two of the hijackers who helped crash an American Airlines jetliner into the Pentagon. He has since returned to Yemen, where he was born. ...[the cleric, Anwar Nasser] Aulaqi, along with his family, arrived Oct. 10 [2002] at JFK International Airport on Saudi Arabian Airlines. After Customs agents identified him as a match in their anti-terrorist lookout database, they searched his bags and escorted him to a detention area. They notified the FBI, and the FBI informed them that “the warrant issued by the State Department had been pulled back” on the previous day, Oct. 9, according to the incident log. Aulaqi and his family were then released after more than three hours in custody. “Passengers released with thanks for their patience, and given the comment card,” the log states. They were handed off to a Saudi Arabian Airlines representative “in order to continue with their flight to Washington, D.C.”

It’s not immediately clear why the warrant had been removed. Phone calls to the FBI and State were not returned. ———— “D.C.

“Malik Hasan Tied to 9/11 Hijackers, Radical al Qaeda Preacher”

SNIPPET: “Shocking headline? Well, it’s true. As first reported at the Jawa, Hasan attended the radical Saudi funded mosque in Virginia who’s now oft quoted and shocked-and-horrified imam is also a big supporter of the ISNA.

What we didn’t know was that Hasan attended that mosque at the same time as two of the 9/11 hijackers — Nawaf al-Hamzi and Hani Hanjour.

Did Nidal Hasan know them? Maybe, maybe not.

But the most disturbing part is that the imam of the mosque at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki (pictured right). Awlaki is an American who now lives in exile in Yemen where his website incites Muslims to jihad and who has nothing but praise for al Qaeda.

Awlaki is hands down the most cited English language preacher in the underworld of online jihad.

And what was Hasan’s view of al-Awlaki?

Hasan’s eyes “lit up” when he mentioned his deep respect for al-Awlaki’s teachings, according to a fellow Muslim officer at the Fort Hood base in Texas, the scene of Thursday’s horrific shooting spree.
Any one who knows anything about al-Awlaki knows he is as radical as they come.
A deeper terrorist plot? No indication of that. But those who continue to claim that the attack had nothing to do with a broader goal of jihad really have nothing left to stand on.

Again, let me remind the simple minded that like most human behavior murder is often motivated by many things. Sure, Hasan very well could have been distressed over an impending deployment and perhaps that deployment was a proximate cause. He may also have been bat shit crazy.

However it is also clear that he held the same world view as the vast majority of Islamist terrorists and that this was at least one of his motivations.”

SNIPPET: “Awlaki’s name has come up recently in connection with the Toronto 18 terror case.”

“Meet Amanda Keller, Mohamed Atta’s White American Girlfriend”

Video Description - Quote:

August 18, 2008

Does Mohamed Atta sound like a “devout Muslim” who would be driven to commit the incredible act of violence witnessed on 9/11 just because he hated the Western lifestyle so much? He likes the drugs, strip clubs and white girls a little more than most devout America-hating Muslims.
