Threat Matrix: June 2007

:::FreeRepublic's Threat Matrix:::
British Intelligence: Al-Qaida Expanding
-Full Story-

British intelligence officials said they believe that al-Qaida has a secure base in Pakistan's Waziristan region and is planning terrorist operations.

The group is reaching out to Muslims in North Africa, The Telegraph reported. Last year, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, an Algerian terrorist group, merged itself into al-Qaida, a move announced by Osama bin Laden's chief lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, in a tape promising action against the "apostates" in the Algerian government and "the treacherous sons of France."

Al-Qaida is also believed to be planning expansion into Lebanon and Syria, the newspaper report said.

” . . . The plotters had “indirect” links to overseas terror elements and the plot had links to Guyana, Trinidad and possibly Germany, a source said. Sources said that the plotters several times mentioned the name “Adnan,” and Trinidad and Guyana. That could suggest a link with Adnan Shukrijumah, the son of the imam at the mosque where some of the 9/11 plotters worshipped, although authorities were never able to prove or disprove a link to him. Shukrijumah, a Saudi, left the United States shortly before 9/11. He is considered extremely dangerous by the FBI and has a $5 million bounty on his head. He’s known to travel on a Guyanese passport and a Trinidadian one as well. However, an FBI spokesperson in Miami said the squad assigned to Shukrijumah was aware of the case but found “no connection” to the wanted al Qaeda figure. He is believed to be with top al Qaeda leaders along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the FBI spokesperson said. . . .”

Guyana, and Trinidad

Must admit that fingers were crossed that they got Shukrijumah. Perhaps soon.

“Abdul Kadir”

That name sounds familiar.

Wish I would have kept the name of a few of those strangers who’ve posted to FR.

Now, that's interesting.

Guyana, Trinidad, Germany, Adnan, New York.

There's at least a "coincidental" connection, IMO.

snippet:

Kadir left his position in the Guyanese Parliament last year. Muslims make up about 9 percent of the former Dutch and British colony’s 770,000 population, mostly from the Sunni sect.

Isha Kadir, the Guyanese suspect’s wife, said her husband flew from Guyana to Trinidad on Thursday. She said he was arrested Friday as he was boarding a flight from Trinidad to Venezuela, where he planned to pick up a travel visa to attend an Islamic religious conference in Iran.

Good connection.

What do you think about “chicken farm” and “chicken hatchery”?

Why would those be code names for an operation to blow up JFK? Most often the code names make sense to me, but this one doesn’t.

To: Velveeta

chicken eggs are used to incubate viruses.

remember that 9/11 was possibly designed to have multiple waves:

1) conventional (planes as fully-fueled explosives)
2) biological (anthrax attacks)
3) nuclear (”dragonfire” threat that never materialized)

atta was probably playing around with anthrax at the same time they were preparing for 9/11

>>>“same song second verse”

Yep, I agree.

Still digging though:

There’s also a town called Cresskill, NJ which was home to the largest chicken hatchery in the world in the late 1800’s. It’s 29 miles from JFK airport.

“The plotters sought to blow up the airport’s jet fuel tanks and part of the 40-mile (64-km) pipeline feeding them from New Jersey.”

Exclusive: Putin threatens to target Europe with missiles

In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Russian President Vladimir Putin has threatened to target Europe with missiles, including potentially nuclear weapons, in a dramatic escalation of his Cold War-style showdown with the United States.

Mr. Putin, in an interview at his country residence outside Moscow, said he considers U.S. plans to build an eastern European anti-missile site to shoot down Iranian missiles a provocation aimed at Russia. (snip)

“Fatah al-Islam Suicide Bombers Destroy Mosque in Nahr al-Bared”

http://www.naharnet.com/domino/tn/NewsDesk.nsf/getstory?openform&6413D2E6DEE6BC80C22572ED002BF905

“Fatah al-Islam militants Besieged in One Square kilometer of Nahr al-Bared”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Army troops also opened up at Fatah al-Islam sniping nests with .50-caliber machine guns mounted on armored personnel carriers to cover advance of commando units that try to storm buildings booby-trapped by the militants.

Witnesses said Fatah al-Islam militants have also booby-trapped donkeys and dogs and set them in the direction of army lines, but the animals were shot and detonated before reaching army positions.

Witnesses said 10 Fatah al-Islam suicide bombers blew themselves up at al-Thawra mosque and an adjacent building in the besieged camp.

They said the militants were using mosques and medical centers as combat outposts in an apparent effort to force the army attack such targets.

The army, however, said in a communiqué that holy sites and medical centers have been pacified.

Muslim Clergymen stressed in Friday sermons that mosques should not be used for other purposes than praying.”

“The government has made the militants a “surrender or die” offer, but Fatah al-Islam said it would fight to the bitter end.”

Let’s hope that end comes soon.

British in Bosnia to probe 7 July terror link
ISN ^ | jan. 15th 2006.

Posted on 01/15/2006 2:47:58 PM PST by kronos77

ISN SECURITY WATCH (15/01/06) – A source in the Bosnian State Prosecutor’s Office has told ISN Security Watch that British anti-terror investigators are due to arrive in the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo, this week to investigate a Bosnian link to the 7 July bombings of London’s transport network that killed 52 people, including the suicide bombers.

The high-ranking source said the British investigators were interested in four British citizens of Afro-Asian origin who had been under surveillance in Bosnia, one of which is believed to be the brother of one of the London suicide bombers.

British anti-terror investigators are scheduled to arrive in Bosnia on 19 January, the source said.

In late October 2005, Bosnian police arrested five teenagers on suspicion of plotting terrorist attacks on Western embassies in Sarajevo. Only days later, police in Denmark arrested six teenagers believed to be linked to those arrested in Bosnia.

The first two men arrested in Sarajevo were identified as Cesur Abdulkadir and Mirsad Bektasevic, whose confiscated mobile phones and laptop computers led to the arrest in December of three more suspects in the Sarajevo suburb of Hadzici. One of the suspects is believed to be the leader of a Bosnian militant cell.

According to the State Prosecutor’s Office, at the same time that Bektasevic had arrived in Sarajevo from Sweden and Abdulkadir from Denmark, a young man of Afro-Asian origin with Danish citizenship arrived from Denmark.

Bosnian police alerted the Danish authorities after finding the Danish citizen’s contacts in the mobile phone and laptops confiscated from Bektasevic and Abdulkadir. The Bosnian police source said Danish police had revealed that a raid on the suspect’s parents’ home in Denmark had uncovered US$500,000 in cash, and that investigators were still tracing the money to determine its origin.

If this is true and accurate, I suppose Putin’s Russia qualifies as an “entity” supporting terrorism then...the shadow players are showing themselves finally between the words and the melamine.
