CANBERRA, Australia, Sept. 3 (UPI) -- A former baggage handler for Qantas Airways has been identified by the CIA as an al-Qaida member.

Government officials told The Australian newspaper they are aware of claims that Bilal Khazal of Sydney and Melbourne cleric Sheikh Mohammed Omran have been linked to an al-Qaida detainee known as Abu Dahdah.

The allegations, made public this week by the Australian Broadcasting Corp., reportedly stem from telephone intercepts revealed recently in a Spanish court. The newspaper said the intercepts suggest repeated contact between the two Australians and the Spaniard.

The Australian said, among other things, Abu Dahdah is accused of having close links to the leader of the Sept. 11 terrorists, Mohammed Atta. Dahdah is the most senior alleged al-Qaida operative arrested in Spain and is accused of links to leaders of the network's terror cells across Europe.

The Australian Federal Police also told the newspaper it has an interest in the two Australians as part of 65 ongoing counter-terrorism investigations.

Where would we be without the benefits of that special tool-of-tyranny that the lunatic left-wing "liberals" call "multiculturalism?"

"Tolerance" is the word with which the self-appointed lunatic left-wing fringe-dwelling post-nililist nutters have replaced such unpalatable glimpses of themselves as "psychopathological" and "envy-motivated" and "hatred-driven" and "hesperophobic" and "self-loathing" and "death-wish" and "suicidal and "un-and-anti-civilization."

Just as they've used "indigenous" to replace "native" and "diversity" to remove "perversity."

From their palates -- and from their vocabularies.
