Interesting.

FL_engineer- thanks for your posts.

Consider that this might be the smoking gun for the Iraq attack--if they find evidence of the anthrax burried somewhere on the property.

Possible scenario:

There was a report published in an Indian newspaper in July of 2001 that the US and others were planning to attack the Taliban in Afghanistan in October. We know now that the coalition was depending on Massoud to take power.

Both Iraq and al-Qaeda, as well the Saudis and the Taliban, would want to prevent that. The 9/11 attack, as well as the anthrax threat, might not have been able to go forward if Massoud was about to take power. They probably thought we couldn't defeat the Taliban without him. So they decided to assassinate him.

They continued to prepare for the 9/11 attack and prepared the anthrax threat, but getting the go-ahead would depend on successfully assassinating Massoud. That was the signal to go ahead.

If al-Masri was connected to the plot--especially if the thermos was burried on his property, he might have taken off the moment he heard of Massoud's assassination because the plan was compartmentalized enough that he didn't know nothing would happen until the 11th.

Of course, it's also possible that he was allied with Massoud and providing safehouses for the Afghani opposition...

No, it was Mr. Kimble,then again it could have been Arnold Ziffle.

Several agents, some in white biohazard suits, arrived Tuesday afternoon at the home at 1606 Doral Drive in Fairway Isles, a gated community, neighbors said.

Good work, FL_engineer. Lots of interesting possible connections with this whole story. Who's been paying the bills since Sep 9, 2001?

I suspect an anthrax search, too, like Lion's Cub does.

[Lion's Cub]

I need to ammend part of the theory, though. As piasa noted on another thread, Massoud didn't die right away--he lived for a few days. So his assassination, while obviously a countermove, was not likely a signal to go ahead with the attack.

Anthrax?? Sealed Warrant?? Previously searched area?? Why again??

They also searched the AMI building again not too long ago if I remember correctly and the Ponds near Camp David within the last couple of months. Which dot will pan out??

Is this the result of the Hatfill "Play" by the FBI??, i.e., did the "Play" make somebody they were watching make a "move".

"Do all idiots live in Florida?"

Only in West Palm Beach...land of the hanging chad. They put the DUH in Florida. Really.

I consider myself an idiot for living here.

Thanks for the ping. So this guy must have been sattar's compadre eh? Where do you think this is leading?

[Freedom2specul8]

Any connection to the snipers by chance? (thinking of the sniper's connection to new york)

[Freedom2specul8]

As someone else said (BTW I loved startrek) Your research is indeed interesting... great job!

[Sacajaweau]

I'm considering the snipers also and the possibility of them being "runners" for the Anthrax scenario. "Hit and Run" is what they did best and I noticed a similarity in the Anthrax letters and the extortion letter (wide spacing). Sure are a lot of coincidences.

Why write an "unnecessary" note in either the case of the Anthrax letters or sniper scenario?? unless "The media is the message".

'in accordance with the worldwide fight on terrorism."

Per post #6

[EBUCK]

but the object of it can

Not if they don't want the object to see it. Pat Act makes it perfectly legal despite the constitution.

Big Bumpity BUMP.

So was this incompetence or a coverup at the top levels.
It's obvious our govt is riddled with Saudi sympathisers,

Very fishy to me. This search should've happened earlier.
Reports like this make me very pessimistic about the influence of the Saudi lobby in America.

[swarthyguy]

Backs up my op that knowledge of the attacks was widespread in the arab and certain other muslim communities around the world.

The infamous calendar from Denmark, warnings to US businessmen in Egypt, kids tales from NYC and Texas about September 11 (out of the mouths of babes).

The Massoud hit was this guy's signal that the plot was in play , the US or Bush was next, and it was time to boogie.

pandora’s box/attack saudi instead bump

[swarthyguy]

THink of all the lives saved if the jihadis had no access to the monies.

Whatever happened to cutting of the head of the snake?

I believe you're on the right track.

I'm surprised this hasn't had legs:

No mention in the article that the government has also accused him of hiring hitmen to asassinate an undercover agent.
