MANILA (AP) -- Remains believed to be those of the chief of the al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group, one of the objectives of a long U.S.-backed manhunt, have been found in the southern Philippines, the military said today. Khaddafy Janjalani is on a U.S. list of wanted terrorists with a $5 million bounty on his head for a series of beheadings, bombings and mass abductions. He has proved elusive in the dense jungles and mangroves that have become home for Janjalani and his men.

Returning to the matter of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed's new public role as 9/11 mastermind, his connection with Ramzi Yousef would also serve another purpose - linking Iraq to al-Qaida by way of Timothy McVeigh and the 1995 bombing of the FBI building in Oklahoma. The McVeigh-Iraqi thread, in fact, pre-dates the events of September 11 by a few years. In 1998, Timothy McVeigh's lawyer, Stephen Jones, had broached the existence of a videotaped interview with the co-founder of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group, a purported al-Qaida front based out of the Philippines. The Abu Sayyaf leader, Edwin Angeles, had turned police informant in February 1995 (a couple months before the Oklahoma bombing), becoming, in the words of Richard Parry of The Independent, "a deep penetration agent of the Marines and the Philippine National Police."
Posts 77 and 78 even suggest Abu Sayyaf was involved in planning Oplan Bojinka

I hope more of the Abu Sayeff crew quickly follow their leader into Paradise.

I wonder if this means OKC was Al Qaeda linked....

These al Qaeda names read like a the cast of characters in a Star Wars movie.
What a waste. Whoever killed him could have made 5 million by cutting off his head and turning it in to the American embassy.
Have you ever been to www.thereligionofpeace.com or www.jihadwatch.org?
I have one problem with these sites. It's not that I disagree with the notion that the West faces as great a threat from Islamism as it ever did from fascism or communism. On the contrary, visiting these sites has convinced me that we are facing a modern Crusade, and Europe has already fallen. It's too late for freedom to be saved on the Old Continent.
My problem with these sites isn't the news and views being shared. It%u2019s the approach. These sites make visitors wish that somebody would do something. So, somebody ought to do something. How about this?
An Anti-Jihad Militia movement should be initiated. Let it be known that you have formed an AJM and that you are operating in your area, and you can rest assured that the media would pick it up. These groups could guarantee attention by advertising themselves and recruiting via billboards that say, "All I ever needed to know about Islam I learned on 9/11." They should take away the greatest weapon of the enemy by embracing the term "Islamophobe" as the American revolutionaries adopted the term "Yankee".
I am not calling for violence, but for a self-defense movement that is truly more about making it clear that self-defense is necessary than about actually doing anything with weapons.

What I don't like about those sites is they ignore the socialist history.

Much as I believe in peace as our best policy, I cannot avoid the fears which Wilson emphasized more than once in conversations with me, August 15, 1915 and later: the breakdown of democracy in all Europe will be a disaster to the people. But what can you do? At the present moment more than a hundred American corporations have subsidiaries here or cooperative understandings. The DuPonts have three allies in Germany that are aiding in the armament business. Their chief ally is the I. G. Farben Company, http://justwhatithink.com/blog/index.php?post=s1160243095 , a part of the Government which gives 200,000 marks a year to one propaganda organization operating on American opinion. Standard Oil Company (New York sub-company) sent $2,000,000 here in December 1933 and has made $500,000 a year helping Germans make Ersatz gas for war purposes; but Standard Oil cannot take any of its earnings out of the country except in goods. They do little of this, report their earnings at home, but do not explain the facts. The International Harvester Company president told me their business here rose 33% a year (arms manufacture, I believe), but they could take nothing out. Even our airplanes people have secret arrangement with Krupps. General Motor Company and Ford do enormous businesses/sic] here through their subsidiaries and take no profits out. I mention these facts because they complicate things and add to war dangers.

Welcome to FreeRepublic.
This is the latest on the OKC bombing, a thoughtful look at some of the facts.

Yes, I saw that. Bump.
It looks like this story got mostly overlooked since it happened between the holidays.
Thanks....I missed it!
Thanks for the ping. I'd not seen it.
