New al-Qaida training tape shows another side of terror Captured video reveals plans for (home break-ins,) killing police, drive-bys, golf course assassinations

Posted: September 4, 2002 1:00 a.m. Eastern

An al-Qaida training videotape, captured in Afghanistan, shows Osama bin Laden's terrorists are not only planning attacks with weapons of mass destruction but are preparing to kill Americans with drive-by shootings and home break-ins, through ambushes of law-enforcement officers and targeted assassinations on golf courses, WorldNetDaily has learned.

The videotape was produced, U.S. analysts believe, for al-Qaida's internal use and did not appear to be an external propaganda device.

U.S. intelligence considers the tape much more significant in what it reveals about al-Qaida's modus operandi than the highly publicized video purchased and broadcast last month by CNN. U.S. forces found a cache of 64 al-Qaida tapes while combing caves and hideouts in Afghanistan. Analysts were surprised by some of what they saw in the latest video and believe they employ terrorist tactics and techniques meant for export to America and other nations.

Al Qaeda Agents Received Sniper Training, Plotted U.S. Attack

No to your answer in the heading.

They describe their clients as "good Americans" -- all were born in America -- who had no plans to put anything they may have learned in Afghanistan into practice.

Riiiiiiight! (Bill Cosby intonation here, please.)

Yes I think its AQ and yet haven't seen something from the Glenn Beck program which suggests that 50 cities have been warned of similiar attacks? Help?

[antivenom]

NO to your question...MHO...it is a LONE NUT white honky cracker....

[copycat]

I think the sniper may be Al Queda...70 percent probability in my mind. The Portland OR cell being caught practcing shooting is too much coincidence for me.

I'd like to know if any of the Lackawanna Six were found to have military style rifles in their domiciles.

[swarthyguy]

Depends. Is this the "big meal" or like 9/11, the "big match"?

[areafiftyone]

I agree. No ties.

He probably can't dance. Or jump for that matter. Hey, maybe we're on to something!

That is a blatant racist remark.

James Harrington, Alwan's attorney, said his client's family is still working on getting the $600,000 together for bail.

James, when you get them out of prison, please come to my place for barbeque. I'll supply lots of lighter fluid, you bring the meat.

[areafiftyone]

This Sniper wants $10 Million dollars!!!

[Professional]

That is a blatant racist remark.

No it's not. Nothing bad was said about minorities, heck, I read it twice to doublecheck.

Oh hell, I forgot...you are correct.

[concerned about politics]

Yeh , right. It's believable - NOT!.
Why bother training with AlQuata if they're not going to use it?

Hey, guys, I normally *hate* to do this but on the theory that most Freepers would want to know, it does appear that CSPAN may carry Saturday's Support-our-Troops counter-rally (a countervoice to the anti-war crowd). So, with apologies for going offtopic, here's the link to that thread. We now return you to our normal programming.

As a reward for listening, here's my schtick on what they should put on Chief Moose's phone -- they're asking the sniper to call Moose -- for an answering machine message when Chief Moose is out. It's obvious that the sniper is responding to communicating with Moose, so that leaves Moose on stage for this drama. So what's he gonna do when he can't be at the phone? (I know, I know, someone else will man that phone 24/7, but just play along:)

Hello, you've reached Chief Moose's phone. If you're the sniper. Press 1. Everyone else, Press 2. **1** Welcome, Sniper. Please listen carefully as our menu options have changed. If you would like to leave a message taunting me, Press 1. If you would like to leave a higher audio quality replay of a previous scarey message, Press 2. If you would like to leave a new threatening message in the voice of Satan, Press 3. If you would like to speak to Chief Moose, Press 4 or hold the line and an FBI Special Agent will speak to you as soon as we finish tracing your call.

I've always thought there is an excellent chance al Qaeda is involved. And if not them someone from another group that is an equally vicious assemblage of murderers, car-jackers, rapists, and thieves: a democrat.

LOL!!

Yer right...very little difference between the All Queers and the RATs.

The cell's leader was found with a rifle/scope:

. . .guess the Media thinks it would be irresponsible to 'head talk' over this. . .better, to theorize on the pattern of the non-pattern. . .calculated vs the random. . .et al. . .
