Al Qaida warning: U.S. has infiltrated our 'holy warriors' (Turnabout Fair Play)

LONDON — Al Qaida has warned its agents that they have been infiltrated by the United States.

An Al Qaida spokesman said the infiltration had been conducted by the United States in cooperation with unspecified Arab intelligence services.

"We warn of attempts to infiltrate the holy warriors in Iraq," the Al Qaida spokesman said. "There is a need to kill spies and make them an example for punishment after their presence and activities have been demonstrated."

The statement came in wake of the capture of several Al Qaida agents in the Sunni Triangle and Mosul area of Iraq, Middle East Newsline reported. The arrests have pointed to links between Al Qaida and loyalists of deposed President Saddam Hussein.

The statement was relayed by the London-based Center for Islamic Research and Studies.

This was the first time Al Qaida has acknowledged that its forces have been penetrated by Western agencies. Until now, Western intelligence analysts said the United States and its allies have failed to infiltrate the middle and senior ranks of the Islamic movement.

Al Qaida asserted that the penetration efforts first stemmed from Algeria. The statement by the unidentified spokesman said Algeria sent agents dressed as Islamic mujahadeen, or holy warriors, who identified themselves as members of the leading insurgency groups that operated in the North African country.

The latest appearance of spies in Al Qaida came from an unidentified Arab ally and neighbor of Iraq, the statement said. The Al Qaida infiltrators were detected several months ago and have infiltrated organization cells in Iraq.

Islamic sources close to Al Qaida said the reference was to Saudi Arabia. Over the last few months, thousands of Islamic volunteers have left Saudi Arabia for Iraq to participate in the Sunni insurgency war against the United States.

The United States was said to have placed tracking devices on the infiltrators to target Al Qaida cells in Iraq. The Al Qaida statement warned against accepting Islamic volunteers without screening them to ensure that they do not contain U.S. agents. Al Qaida said all Islamic volunteers must demonstrate a background in insurgency activities.

The Islamic sources said Al Qaida had suspected that the United States tried to infiltrate the upper echelons of the group after the suicide strikes in New York and Washington in September 2001. The sources said a U.S. air strike against the Al Qaida leadership in the Afghan city of Kandahar in October 2001 stemmed from information by a spy within Taliban.

Al Qaida has warned its agents that they have been infiltrated by the United States.

And you know that there's only one way to deal with this - have all al Qaeda shoot each other to make sure they get the infiltrator.

That right. You need to start killing all those spies. You never know who they could be. Perhaps the most feverent and loyal jihadi could really be a spy. You never can be too careful with this, so start killing as many as you can.

What do we make of this..

Don't they realize that the best spies would be the very one WITH a demonstrated insurgency background.

[dirtboy]

I think they should kill everyone that has come on board since 9/11, and then advertise that they need new members because they just killed off all their recent additions.

Quick clue for the Al Qaida "warriors";

If your supposed fellow Holy Warrior is a 6' 6" Black dude, with a shaved head, has an M-16, listens to Willie Nelson rather than rap, thinks anyone short of a Ranger is a wussie and wears Master Blaster wings directly attached to his pectorial muscles (through the skin), and faces, not Mecca, but something called Ft. Benning while he prays, you might wonder if he is really one of yours.

have all al Qaeda shoot each other to make sure they get the infiltrator.

A classic counter-espionage strategy is to have moles or spies rat out loyal operatives from the inside.

This is what happened to the CIA in the '70s.

I say they all get into a group and commit mass suicide to destroy all potential infiltrators. Its the ONLY way!!!

Yep, they should form circular firing squads. Let's send some GOP political strategists over, they're experts in that field...

I would imagine that the US has been trying and in some cases succeeded in infiltrating. Truly a dangerous mission. Pray for these infiltrators.

ALL YOUR HOLY WARRIORS ARE BELONG TO US!!

Hey, I like this. Even if we don't have infiltrator in Al Qaida, the second best thing is make them think we do. A great way to cause those goat packers dissention resulting in killing themselves. Heehehehee.

Hey Al Quida, there was a page from the Koran missing that was just found. It says that the prophet is returning on this comet called Hale-Bop comet. Before he and the comet gets here the prophet wants you to all rent a house in California, put your white sneakers on then drink this.....

No, no, no. You have to make it believable. He wants them to meet in Mecca.

[Some hope remaining.]

Syed: He's a spy! He's a spy!

Ahmed: I am NOT a spy!

Syed: Only a true spy would deny that he's a spy!

Ahmed: Ok then, I am a spy!

Syed: He admits it. He's a spy! Get him!

Al Qaida has warned its agents that they have been infiltrated by the United States.

I wonder if this could be a sign from Allah that Al Qauida screwed up?

Only the virgins will know for sure.

What with all the work that has to be done around the world in connection with this war on terror, we may just be living in the golden age of spying, if you can call it that.
