But this is Bellingham, WA, they have an FBI office in town and I don't think that they were overwhelmed with leads following the trade center bombing.

Bellingham has ties to the Wahhabi lobby of Northern Virginia in this 4/02 Weekly Standard report:

Wahhabis in the Old Dominion: What the federal raids in Northern Virginia uncovered.

A major personality on the ground in Virginia is an individual named Jamal Barzinji, whose office in Herndon was a major target of the raids. In 1980, he was listed in local public records as a representative of the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY), an arm of the Saudi regime with offices in Virginia. WAMY has been deeply involved in providing cover for Wahhabi terrorism. The 2002 entry in the U.S. Business Directory lists the president of the WAMY office in Annandale, Va., as Abdula bin Laden--the terrorist's younger brother.

Barzinji serves as a trustee and officer of the Amana Mutual Funds Trust, a growth and income mutual fund headquartered in Bellingham, Wash., conveniently near the Canadian border. Amana's board also includes Yaqub Mirza, a Pakistani physicist who shares Barzinji's Herndon office address and who is widely described as a financial genius. Another board member and tenant in the Herndon office is Samir Salah. He formerly ran a branch of Al-Taqwa in the Caribbean, heads a financial firm linked to Saar, and directs Dar al-Hijra, a mosque in Falls Church, Va., notable for hardline Wahhabi preaching. Salah is also deeply involved with Taibah International Aid Association, a Virginia charity with a Bosnian branch that is being investigated by authorities in Sarajevo.

Geez, that's amazing.

I was in a restaurant with my daughter on Sunday, telling her about my suspicions about a Muslim Algerian who stayed at a friend's house for a few months. He married her neice in Hawaii and talked her into moving to WA. She found a job in Seattle and they moved, but the Algerian did not find work, he just started hanging out with other Muslims and divorced the wife. One of the suspected terrorist cells in Seattle is Algerian. So, I was telling this story to my daughter, when I noticed that the man at the near-by table was listening to my conversation and that he was Middle-eastern, himself. It kind of spooked me, like they were suddenly, everywhere.

Is Falls Church near the shootings? Could this be where Mohammed was getting his money?

What is that girl's name that was on Hannity, the one who uncovered the INS involvement with Malvo? I am going to e-mail her with some of this information. I think that this is a definite terrorist connection. It looks like Mohammed could have been working as a runner for these guys.

Didn't the border patrol stop some guy coming from Canada to bomb LA inter. airport just before Y2K?

Is that the mosque within walking distance of the Home Depot at Seven Corners (where Linda Franklin was murdered)?

Doesn't Fred Barnes work for the Weekly Standard? He was very upset last night on Brit's show that the others on the panel were declaring that there were no ties to organized terroism.

Fred was livid, saying is was too early in the investigation to say that. After reading the article, I understand why.

A great find! However, you have ruined my day. Wahhabis in Northern Virginia.

It is bad enought that there are al Fuqras, Nation of Islams, Black Muslims, Old Black Panthers and the new Black Panthers all over Virginia and the DC metro area, now I find out that there are Wahhabi's there as a legitimate lobby.

The 2002 entry in the U.S. Business Directory lists the president of the WAMY [World Assembly of Muslim Youth] office in Annandale, Va., as Abdula bin Laden--the terrorist's younger brother.

Didn't the latest message from bin Laden mention something about the "youths of God"?

It just seems a bit too coincidental that we have a Muslim man and a Caribbean youth arrested in connection with the shootings, a message including a reference to the "youths of God" from bin Laden, an organization called "World Assembly of Muslim Youth", which is located in the heart of the "sniper"-zone and run by Abdula bin Laden and is also associated with Jamal Barzinji and others, who are connected to the Caribbean branch of Al-Taqwa ("Fear of God") and AMFT, which is located in Bellingham, Washington.
