Taliban CLAIMS CREDIT FOR NYC BOMB

A top Pakistani Taliban commander took credit for yesterday's failed car bomb attack in New York City.

Qari Hussain Mehsud, the top bomb maker for the Movement of the Taliban in Pakistan, said he takes "fully responsibility for the recent attack in the USA." Qari Hussain made the claim on an audiotape accompanied by images that was released on a YouTube website that calls itself the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel.

The tape has yet to be verified, but US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal believe it is legitimate. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel on YouTube was created on April 30. Officials believe it was created to announce the Times Square attack, and Qari Hussain’s statement was pre-recorded.

All indications are the tape is legitimate. YouTube has pulled the video and shut down the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan News Channel since this article was published.

The bomb squad was dispatched to the scene and discovered a crude bomb made of “three canisters of propane like those used for barbecue grills, two five-gallon cans of gasoline, consumer-grade fireworks … and two clocks with batteries,” The New York Times reported.

David Lee Miller from Fox News reported from the site this morning that the police also removed a metal locker,approximately 2 feet by 4 feet. The police have said nothing about this.

Seeing that we are looking at the Taliban (in both Afghanistan and pakistan), here's an example of how the "changing hearts and minds" project is going. This Afghan police attacked Americans and then took off to visit the Taliban. Quite a ceremony, and it seems to be the standard in these cases.

Here’s a little something. Looking at Islamnett (the student union who got their butt kicked out of Oslo University’s rooms the other day), I went to look at one of their fav guests/lecturers, Abdur-Raheem Green. That’s really Anthony Green, to normal people. And in one of his vids he’s going on about Jihad, and how to support it. You can see the vid here:

Lots of the standard muslim jive, but the real interesting thing is this:

At, or immediately before the last intifada, this guy and a delegation of other English muslims, had a meeting with Hamas spiritual leader Yassin. In the delegation was Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), which neatly ties Cat Stevens to the intifada and Hamas.

Of course, Cat Stevens is also very cosy with the Democrats and Jon Steward.
