Cheney warns of new attacks

Former Vice President Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability” that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack in coming years, and said he fears the Obama administration’s policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.

In an interview Tuesday with Politico, Cheney unyieldingly defended the Bush administration’s support for the Guantanamo Bay prison and coercive interrogation of terrorism suspects.

And he asserted that President Obama will either backtrack on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk in ways more severe than most Americans — and, he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.

“When we get people who are more concerned about reading the rights to an Al Qaeda terrorist than they are with protecting the United States against people who are absolutely committed to do anything they can to kill Americans, then I worry,” Cheney said.

35 jihad training compounds on American soil

Here is a press release from the Christian Action

Network: “Never-Before-Revealed Terrorist Training Video Exposes 35 Compounds On American Soil”:

“Act like you are his friend. Then kill him.” – Sheik Muburak Gilani explaining how to kill American infidels
Washington, DC—The American public was never supposed to know. The 2006 Justice Department document that exposes 35 terrorist training compounds in the U.S. was marked “Dissemination Restricted to Law Enforcement.” All the copies of Sheik Muburak Gilani’s terrorist training video, “Soldiers of Allah,” had been confiscated and sealed—all of them, that is, except one—that Christian Action Network now reveals in the documentary Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S.

It seems unfathomable—nearly three dozen terrorist training compounds in the U.S. and the FBI, Homeland Security, and State Department are no help at all? But the evidence is irrefutable: as Jamaat ul-Fuqra (known in the U.S. as Muslims of America) leader Sheik Muburak Gilani professes on the Soldiers of Allah video, “We are fighting to destroy the enemy. We are dealing with evil at its roots and its roots are America.”

The Soldiers of Allah training video teaches American students how to operate AK-47 rifles, rocket launchers, and machine guns; how to kidnap Americans and then kill them; how to conduct sabotage and subversive operations; and how to use mortars and explosives.

With almost 50 terrorist attacks on American soil linked to Jamaat ul-Fuqra—ranging from bombings to murder to plots to blowing up American landmarks—what will it take for the government to protect its citizens from self-professed enemies of Americans? They hide across 35 American cities as innocuous-sounding as Hancock, NY; Red House, VA; and Seattle, WA.

The allegations are serious, which is why Christian Action Network took more than two years to research Muslims of America—going inside the compounds with their video cameras and questions to confront violence and confirm the truth. Their mission? To make Americans aware of the threats and have Jamaat ul-Fuqra placed on the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organization Watch List, thereby shutting down the camps in the U.S. run by ul-Fuqra’s front group, Muslims of America.

The State Department issued a statement on January 31, 2002, regarding why the group was no longer recognized as a terrorist organization: “Jamaat ul-Fuqra has never been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. It was included in several recent annual terrorism reports under ‘other terrorist groups,’ i.e., groups that had carried out acts of terrorism but that were not formally designated by the Secretary of State. However, because of the group’s inactivity during 2000, it was not included in the most recent terrorism report covering that calendar year.”

The effect of being removed from terrorist reports? In January 2002 Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and later beheaded while attempting to attend an interview with Jamaat ul-Fuqra leader Sheikh Muburak Gilani.

Was this an isolated incident? Hardly. In March 2003, Fuqra and al Qaeda member Iyman Faris pled guilty in federal court to a plot to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge, and the list goes on.

According to a 2006 Department of Justice report, “Today, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has more than 35 suspected communes and more than 3,000 members spread across the United States, all in support of one goal: the purification of Islam through violence.”

In 2005, The Department of Homeland Security predicted that Muslims of America will continue to strike in the United States-yet they are still not listed on the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organization Watch List. “Other predicted possible sponsors of attacks include Jamaat ul-Fuqra, a Pakistani-based group that has been linked to Muslims of America.”

Christian Action Network will show Homegrown Jihad at the Landmark Theater in Washington, DC, on February 11, 2009, at 7:30 pm. There is no charge to attend the viewing. Copies can also be obtained at www.christianaction.org.

If you’re in Washington on the 11th, please go to this, and send us a report!

Scary, but they’ve had these camps in the US for a long time now. The first one I ever heard of was in a rural area north of Harrisburg,PA., in 1989. The leader of the group was an FBI agent based in Harrisburg, and no—he was not undercover for our side. He was a homegrown terrorist.

Bomb wounds Pakistan Taliban commander: officials

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AFP) — A Pakistani Taliban commander and key aide to tribal warlord Baitullah Mehsud was wounded Monday in a bomb attack that killed his driver near the Afghan border, officials said.

A remote-controlled bomb exploded by the side of a road in the Tanga area of South Waziristan, a semi-autonomous tribal district, when Noor Syed Mehsud was passing in a vehicle en route to Jandola village.

“According to reports received here Mehsud was slightly injured, while his driver died in the bomb blast,” a security official in Wana, the main town of South Waziristan, told AFP.

Another security official confirmed the incident. Preliminary reports attributed the bombing to factional fighting between Baitullah Mehsud’s men and loyalists of Abdullah Mehsud, he said.

Abdullah Mehsud, 32, became leader of Pakistani Taliban insurgents based in South Waziristan in 2004, after Pakistani government forces launched military operations to clear out extremists from the troubled tribal region.

He was accused of having links with Al-Qaeda and spent 25 months in the US-run prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba until his release in March 2004......

Yedioth Ahronoth Publishes Details Of Mughniyeh Assassination By Mossad

The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth published details regarding the assassination of leading Hizbullah military leader Imad Mughniyeh, explaining that the hands that placed the deadly blow up charge at Mughniyeh’s vehicle to the right of the driver’s headrest were solely Israeli.

The paper said that operational planning for Mughniyeh’s assassination commenced with the arrest of Ali Moussa Daqdouq a Hizbullah ‘foreign operations’ official by Israeli security close to Karbala, Iraq in January 2007.

Australia targeted for ‘Forest Fire’ jihad?

AUSTRALIA has been singled out as a target for “forest jihad” by a group of Islamic extremists urging Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as a weapon of terror.

US intelligence channels earlier this year identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the US, Europe and Russia to “start forest fires”, claiming “scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels’ forests when they do the same to our lands”.

The website, posted by a group called the Al-Ikhlas Islamic Network, argues in Arabic that lighting fires is an effective form of terrorism justified in Islamic law under the “eye for an eye” doctrine.

The posting — which instructs jihadis to remember “forest jihad” in summer months — says fires cause economic damage and pollution, tie up security agencies and can take months to extinguish so that “this terror will haunt them for an extended period of time”.

“Imagine if, after all the losses caused by such an event, a jihadist organisation were to claim responsibility for the forest fires,” the website says. “You can hardly begin to imagine the level of fear that would take hold of people in the United States, in Europe, in Russia and in Australia.”

With the nation heading into another hot, dry summer, Australian intelligence agencies are treating the possibility that bushfires could be used as a weapon of terrorism as a serious concern.....

OPINION: Obama’s Mistake in Embracing Islamic Society of North America

Last week, media reports surfaced that the FBI quietly decided last summer to sever its ties to CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations. One week prior, Ingrid Mattson, president of ISNA, the Islamic Society of North America, delivered a prayer at the National Prayer Service, one of the events associated with the inauguration of President Obama. In other words, while it appears the FBI has finally learned a valuable lesson, it just as clearly appears that President Obama hasn’t.

For years the FBI has conferred legitimacy on CAIR, meeting with its leaders and asking for its advice on relations with the Muslim community. The FBI has even utilized CAIR to give sensitivity training to its agents on topics such as Islam and understanding Muslims....

Death of a Hamas Supporter
By Joe Kaufman
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, February 09, 2009

On December 29, 2008, Hamas supporter and CAIR representative Jawhar Sadallah Badran – “Joe” to those closest to him – was interviewed by the Palm Beach Post about his thoughts on Israel’s assault on the Gaza Strip. On December 29, 2008, the same day, Jawhar Badran died of what appeared to be a heart attack. It seemed an appropriate end for a man whose heart was filled with hatred and rage. But will his legacy live on beyond his death?.......
