ACCUSED September 11 mastermind Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was carrying the names and phone numbers of members of al-Qaeda sleeper cells in North America when he was arrested, intelligence officials have said.

His detention in Pakistan could disrupt acts of terror in the planning stages, authorities in Washington said.

Vincent Cannistraro, a former counter-terrorism chief for the CIA, said Mohammed would likely be interrogated "with some urgency" about al-Qaeda attacks that might be imminent.

Western intelligence officials have said Mohammed actively recruited terrorists for a new wave of attacks against Americans at home and abroad.

He is also alleged to have worked to develop radioactive "dirty" bombs

I haven't read this anywhere in the last couple of days, but has anyone else noticed that just a week or two after the Muslims in North Carolina are arrested, they suddenly "find" this guy? And he also was educated in North Carolina? Duh.... think one of the guys last week was the squealer? They will implode, turning each other in to save their sorry butts.

"What now? Let me tell you what now. I'm gonna call a couple of hard, pipe-hittin' niggas to go to work on the homes here with a pair of plyers and a blow torch... You hear me talkin', hillbilly boy?! I ain't through with you by a damned sight! I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!"

But then there's...

"What now? Let me tell you what now. *sound of agony* I'm gonna call a couple hard pipe-hittin' niggers to go to work on homes here, with a pair of pliers and a blow torch... I'm gonna get medieval on your ass."

I would think that the "sleeper cells" watch the news too. They already knew this. Do you think the FBI/CIA gave them a headstart or something?

[XEHRpa]

So why are we hearing about this in the press BEFORE the sleeper cell arrests are made? So they can make their getaway?

It's called "smoking them out," and our President vowed to do it. It could mean we're bluffing just a little bit (i.e., we don't have US names and address where to make arrests), in order to force the sleeperes to make emergency contacts "in the clear" when we are listening for just this.

[Magoo]

And to see where they run to.

I would bet that we've got him tied up in something along the lines of a darkened room with a million candle power strobelight flashing every second.

Just hold his eyelids open with clips like in the movie 'A Clockwork Orange', make him eat a box of No-Doz, and it wouldn't take long at all to turn the subject into a blubbering, crying, quivering, psychotic mass of urine-soaked jelly.

Twelve hours later, go in the room and see what he wants to talk about.

anybody notice the resemblence between his arrest picture and a certain "actor" known as the hedgehog? ;)

That's exactly what I was thinking before I even got to your post....

When I was a youngster, I think he was the first of his type of "actor" I ever saw (at a friend's house after school). It's a wonder it didn't scar me for life. Scary lookin' guy...

[geege]

I just think he had too many Bud's.....

Mastermind caught with terror cell details

Observers believe it is highly unlikely Mohammed will be put through the civilian justice system, since federal criminal defendants in the United States are allowed detailed access to the government's evidence against them.

"It'll be a lot better if we can interrogate him for a year and a half without having to worry about telling him (in court papers) everything we know about him," the official said.

"He is probably the only man who knows all the pieces of the puzzle," French terrorism expert Roland Jacquard said.

Jacquard said French judicial documents show that Mohammed had more meetings with bin Laden than anyone else after the al-Qaeda leader moved from Sudan to Afghanistan.

Wrong picture. That was Ving Rhames.

[apackof2]

This is gonna be good! Screw lil tommy daschale

Second best thing about his capture.
So much for the left's BS of "forgetting the terrorists"

[Ethyl]

It would appear that Mohammed is having a very bad day. Don't worry, it got a lot worse after this picture was taken. You can take that to the bank.


What a disgusting being, I didn't say human being. He looks more like a rat than a man, he definitely needs a back shave. Disgusting

major bump

[RaceBannon]

To make them panic and reveal themselves, also to have them either speed up plans causing mistakes and capture, or to flee the country before they are caught which makes us safer,too


I hope, anyways...

Why is he wearing a rug under his t-shirt??
