“’We Came To You With Slaughter’
Quebec Terror Suspect; Berated Muslims online for not fighting jihad”
Stewart Bell And Graeme Hamilton, National Post
Published: Saturday, September 15, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “MONTREAL - On the Internet, he was known as Ashraf. It means noble in Arabic.
But the hundreds of incendiary messages he posted to pro-al-Qaeda Web sites were anything but.
From his computer in Quebec, Ashraf disseminated articles that berated Muslims for not fighting jihad; called for war until “religion will be for Allah alone”; and bluntly advised the West that, “We came to you with slaughter.”
Yesterday, Said Namouh, 34, a landed immigrant from Quebec, appeared briefly in a Montreal courtroom, accused of working with an Austrian extremist to plot a truck bombing in Europe.
The RCMP said Mr. Namouh used the alias Ashraf, and a U.S. terrorism research group said Mr. Namouh and the on-line Ashraf who appears regularly on jihadist Internet forums are one and the same.”
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “”I am confident that the member by the name Ashraf that SITE found as a member of Global Islamic Media Front is the same Ashraf who was arrested by the Canadians.”
She said Ashraf was “a prominent and senior” member of the GIMF, an international network of al-Qaeda sympathizers who translate, repackage and disseminate the propaganda of Islamist terrorist groups.
Through the GIMF’s on-line forum, Ashraf communicated with Mohammed Mahmoud, the alleged leader of the group’s German branch who was arrested in Vienna on Wednesday along with two other suspects. The RCMP accuses Ashraf of conspiring with Mr. Mahmoud to detonate a bomb.
On other jihadist message boards, Ashraf switched to different aliases. But while he has been charged with planning an attack, what he mostly did was spread propaganda.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The arrest followed a joint investigation by Canadian and Austrian counter-terrorism authorities. Mr. Namouh is believed to be just one of several GIMF members operating from Canada.
“Mr. Namouh conspired with an individual in Austria to explode a car bomb,” Crown prosecutor Pierre Labelle told reporters after the bearded suspect appeared briefly in court yesterday dressed in jeans and a stained white T-shirt. “At the moment, those are the only elements I can reveal. Obviously, the investigation is ongoing.””

German jihadist bomb suspect worked at airport
Feel safer? Ain’t political correctness grand?
“Bomb suspect worked at airport,” from News24.com (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist):
Berlin - One of three men arrested in Germany on suspicion of plotting major bomb attacks worked at Frankfurt airport, one of the alleged targets, according to the weekly Der Spiegel.
The report to be published on Monday said Adem Y, a Turk, had been employed from 1997 to 2002 by German railways, working in particular in the department handling freight at Frankfurt airport station.
The three arrested on September 5, who also included two Germans converted to Islam, were suspected of planning “massive” attacks on facilities used by Americans, among them Frankfurt airport and the US military airbase at Ramstein.
Federal prosecutor Monika Harms said they were members of the Islamic Jihad Union, a little-known group from Uzbekistan with links to al-Qaeda.
The Sunni Muslim group said the aim of the planned attacks had been to put pressure on Germany to withdraw its soldiers stationed at the Termez base in southern Uzbekistan, according to the German interior ministry.
More diplomacy by intimidation. In both its violent and its peaceful forms, it’s all the rage these days.
