That would be Mansoor Ijaz, perhaps?
The guy who said that two convoys of 30 Iranian trucks each entered Iraq with WMD heads back in January, headed for US troops in Baghdad?
Yeah, I know that guy.
He wasn't always such a loon though.
Back in the mid 90's he dumped a bunch of money on Clinton's campaign to try and get Bill to accept all the passport data the Sudan had collected on AQ people moving in and out of the country.
Bill didn't bite, but I wish he had.
Keep repeating to yourself, the objective on the Pak-Afghan border isn't to catch any HVTs, it is to deny AQ long term haven in the area. That's some ugly country in there, too easy for one or two guys to slip out....but if we do get us a big fish, so much the better.
Mansur Ijaz wrote an artice for the Guardian of all papers detailing Osama's mountain lair, protected by concentric rings of armed guards, natural and manmade barriers with a mountain redoubt in the center.
Northern Pakistan, Gilgit, Kashmir area, south of the Pamirs and the Afghani panhandle.
Didn't get much attention at all - Sept 2003.
Said the US and Pakistan knew about it but were unwilling to take him and his minions on.
Why did Mansur say it when he did? And why the Guardian and not the WSJ, for example?
FWIW.
Many questions about this guy. Including his nuke background and potential connections to Khan and the Paki NUke Network.
He has some info, but a salt shaker is needed.
Very good point -
