For all those who scratch their heads about why supporters of the militants would target the media, Bin Laden touches on the same point in his tape to air on the sixth anniversary of 9/11. A jihadist fighter “Barbaros” speaks pretty directly to the issue in a 1994 interview in the arab language Assirat. GMU microbiology grad Al-Timimi was on the advisory board of a publication Assirat. In 1994, Al-Timimi spoke alongside Comm. Abu Abdel Aziz ‘Barbaros’ (Bosnia) at the annual IANA conference. The best evidence available of Dr. Al-Timimi’s own views on the subject are his online speeches, “The Negative Portrayal Of Islam In the Media” and “Crusade Complex: Western Perceptions of Islam.”

THE MEDIA CAMPAIGN (AGAINST JIHAD)
Q. Within the context of the International media campaign against Jihad, how do you evaluate the Muslims’ approach to Jihad, especially after the intended distortion of the Afghan experiment?
A. The main purpose of the International media campaign against Jihad is to paint it with the trait of terrorism and things of that sort. (This is done) to push people away from it. They know that Muslims, if they hold tight to Jihad, will achieve the intended thrust which will make them reach whatever Allah wills. They know quite well that the Muslim zeal to Jihad stems from the belief that Allah is the sole source of victory, He will send His help from the sky and that if the Mujahid dies, his abode shall be the highest Firdaws (Peak of Paradise), among the prophets (Nabiyyin), the truthful (Siddiqin) and martyrs (Shuhada’), and those near to Allah, as Allah, praised be He, said, “They are with their Lord receiving their bounty (Rizq).” The media campaign wants to convince people and prove to them that the Jihad in Afghanistan failed, that the Afghan experiment is utter shame. This thesis is widespread whether you consider Western sources or the secular (Arab ones). The truth of the matter is that there is a confusion of facts. ...
The roots of the tree that is Amerithrax lie in Brooklyn’s Al-Kifah (the Blind Sheik’s Service’s Organization).
After WTC 1993, the Boston al-Kifah branch was renamed Care International.
In March 2007, there was a superseding indictment in the case pending in Worcester, Massachusetts that added another former President. This summer the defendants moved the Court to unseal the evidence collected under FISA that the Government says must remained classified and under seal. The indicted official who resides near Worcester worked for Ptech, a software company that worked for DARPA and other similar government agencies.
Al Kifah/Care published a pro-jihadist newsletter, al-Hussam, or The Sword.
Here is a 1996 newsletter to give you a flavor. The headline: “And Time Went By O’ Muslims: Rise!” (In short, if someone unjustly gets convicted, it is your duty to take action). Psssst... it’s about revenging the blind sheik’s imprisonment.

Investigators raided a storage facility confiscated 18,000 pages of material relating to Care International, 40 videotapes, four computer hard drives, and 100 computer diskettes.
When the Amerithrax indictment comes, it is going to be loaded with concrete detail from this and many other raids.
The FBI and CIA have known The Solution to Amerithrax for years.
Won’t someone please tell Leahy?
