U.S. intelligence officials appear to have obtained access to what could turn out to be a significant trove of phone numbers, photographs and documents detailing the links between Al Qaeda's leaders in northwest Pakistan and the terror group's increasingly menacing affiliate in Yemen, two counter-terrorism sources tell Declassified.
In late January, an Al Qaeda operative headed from Pakistan on his way to Yemen was arrested in the Persian Gulf country of Oman, a U.S. counter-terrorism official confirmed.
There has been no public announcement of the arrest. But in a possible indication of the operative's importance, just a few days later, two postings on a jihadi web forum suggested that Al Qaeda leaders were worried and wanted their "commanders" to take immediate precautions.
The postings stated that the "captured brother" -- identified as a "field commander" named Abdullah Saleh al-Eidan who went by the name of "Barud"- - was "on his way back from Afghanistan" and had been turned over to Saudi authorities.
Even more noteworthy, the postings -written by a fellow Al Qaeda "brother" - reported that Al Eidan had with him 300 "important phone numbers" as well as pictures, names and documents from Afghanistan.

Newsweek gives a “head up” to the terrorists it
so loves around the world.

You’ll recall that Newsweak also spread the rumor that U.S. troops had thrown a Koran into a toilet, and there were riots all around the world that killed several hundred people. The rumor was proved to be untrue, but Newsweak saw no reason to apologize, or to print a retraction.
Gee, did we get this info from the CIA “turncoat” who killed our agents?
Thank you for the ping Ali Veritas.
I agree Ali V. BS -g-
Sounds to me like we are using “remote-viewers” like what the Russians were trying to perfect.
And thats not BS, its been proven some people have the ability to see through others over long distances.
There was even rumors that those in charge of the missile bunkers when viewing secret launch codes had others nearby reciting nursery rhymes to mislead these viewers.

SNIPPET: “In June last year, the Taliban published the English text of an interview with Abdul Ghani, a.k.a. mullah Beradar (alternative spelling: Baradar, Biradar, Birader, Berader, Broadar etc.) I have corrected some interpunction mistakes and put non-English words and texts from the Qur’an in italics. Otherwise, the text is as published on ‘The Voice of Jihad’ (www.alemarah.info).”
