[Tin Foil] Ahmad Shah Massoud (deceased) -- Born in 1953 in Panjsher, Afghanistan. Massoud fled to Pakistan when the Afghan King was deposed in 1973. He was trained there by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's government to go back and fight in Afghanistan. In 1975, he returned to Panjsher and, after the communist coup of 1978, joined Burahanuddin Rabbani. He drove the Russians out of the Panjsher Valley. After the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, he expanded his military control in areas north of Kabul and in northern Afghanistan.
Massoud was a key player in establishing Northern Alliance in 1992 . He became Defense Minister when Rabbani was installed as President in 1992. Rabbani and Massoud moved to the north of the country and continue to be recognized as Afghanistan's rightful rulers by most of the world. "The Lion of Panjsher" (as Massoud was called) was
killed on September 10, 2001 by suicide bombers . [/Tin Foil]
Yesterday was 3/11/03 and the eighteen-month anniversary of the WTC, Pentagon and Pennsylvania terror attacks. Could this be a signal of another round of world terrorism?
Something to think about.

Why would the 18 month annivesary mean anything, as opposed to the 19th month or 20th month?

Could this be a signal of another round of world terrorism? Al-Quaeda is not in a very good shape right now. Sheikh Mohammed was the mastermind not only of 9/11 but most of the other terror attacks starting with the '93 WTC bombing. If he's the only guy they had with enough brain cells to plan attacks, then we at least have no reason for pessimism now that he's been captured.

I agree. The best guess (and it's just a guess) is that this is an Al Qaeda hit.
They killed Massoud on the eve of 9/11/01; just a couple weeks ago, they assassinated the Kurdish leaders in Turkey that had signed on to help the US; a few months before, it was a US official in the middle east; before that, it was Daniel Pearl in Pakistan.
Certainly, this fits with the predictions of what Al Qaeda is up to--assassinations and hitting soft targets (Bali). Now we will see if they try shooting down civilian planes (as they did in Africa).
We'll have to wait and see who probably did it in a case that is "overdetermined."
