Syrian Kurds: We captured terrorist who planned 9/11 attacks
Arutz Sheva ^ | 19/4/18 | Ben Ariel

Posted on 04/19/2018 12:09:30 AM PDT by Eleutheria5

A Syrian-born German national accused of helping to plan the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States has been detained by Kurdish forces in Syria, a senior Kurdish commander told AFP on Wednesday.

“Mohammed Haydar Zammar has been arrested by Kurdish security forces in northern Syria and is now being interrogated,” the top official said, but did not provide further details.

Zammar, who is in his mid-fifties, has been accused of recruiting some of the September 11 hijackers.

He was detained in Morocco in December 2001 in an operation involving CIA agents, and was handed over to the Syrian authorities two weeks later.

A Syrian court sentenced Zammar to 12 years in prison in 2007 for belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, a charge that at the time could have resulted in the death penalty.

Due to the civil war in Syria, many hardline Islamist prisoners have either been released from jail or broke free and went on to join jihadist groups fighting in the war.

Al-Qaeda, which was behind the 9/11 attacks, operated a branch in Syria known as the Al-Nusra Front. However, the two groups cut ties in late July of 2017. The group now goes by the name Fateh al-Sham and is designated a "foreign terrorist organization" by the U.S.

The Islamic State (ISIS) jihadist group also rose to power in the country’s north and east, but a U.S.-backed alliance has ousted it from swathes of its self-declared “caliphate”.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a coalition of Arab and Kurdish fighters, has caught several foreign members of ISIS in Syria in recent months, particularly since the SDF captured the northern city of Raqa from the jihadists.

IIRC, we offered substantial rewards for these people?
If they send us the heads in a dufflebag, we should send them the money...

Put his ass up against a wall and get five really poor shooters, on full auto, and let them fire away. The poor quality of their marksmanship will cause many bad wounds and much suffering. Then send up someone with a pistol and start on his elbows, shoulders, knees, feet and finally between his ears. No trial needed.

That would be BOTH Bushes. They are both members of the Sculls and Bones mob from Yale. Many of the liberal slime in politics are members.

A few "famous" members of the S and B's:

Among prominent alumni are former President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft (a founder's son); former Presidents and father and son George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush’s father Prescott Bush; Other members from the Bush family include George W’s great uncle George Herbert Walker Jr, uncle Jonathan Bush, cousins George Herbert Walker the 3rd and Ray Walker. George W. was actually a very unlikely and unusual Skull and Bones society member. John Kerry, former U.S. Secretary of State and former U.S. Senator; Stephen A. Schwarzman, founder of Blackstone Group; Austan Goolsbee,Chairman of Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers; Harold Stanley, co-founder of Morgan Stanley; and Frederick W. Smith, founder of FedEx, are all reported to be members. Actor James Whitmore; William F. Buckley, Jr., founder of National Review, and former CIA officer.

G.W.H. Bush's "nickname" in the mob was "Magog" from Ezekiel 38 and 39 of the Bible. Magog will be the leader of the invasion of Israel in probably the near future, since Russia, Turkey, Iran and most of that invading bunch is now about in position to perform the invasion.

Interrogated, eh?

Bet it’s not any fun for him.

But can’t compare to the suffering he inflicted on so many thousands of people.

He could stop it if he dimes out every member of his rotten organization. They might just stop doing this to him. (five hours of sincere confession later). We said ‘might’.

I was thinking that whoever picks him probably needs to be very trustworthy.

Zero the treasonous Muslim would have given this POS a Medal of Freedom and turned him loose.

Too bad for him that Trump is President, and not the Mitt-licking Brown Mudslime Clown...

The CIA had him and didn’t use the opportunity to kill him there and then. Stupid.


The Deep State didn’t start with Obama. In Syria he was accused of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Obama never had any problems with the Muslim Brotherhood, or any of it offshoots.

Are you positive he was dropped in the ocean?

After all Obama never had any problem with the Muslim Brotherhood, or any of its offshoots, including Al Qaeda.

“I wonder what they will discover.”

That it’s not turture. In fact, it’s fun (for everyone but the guy on the receiving end)!

It’s not waterboarding if you use diesel fuel though...
