  • Report: Terror suspect got license to haul hazardous materials

    06/30/2004 1:59:53 PM PDT · by esryle · 14 replies · 200+ views
    Minneapolis-AP -- He was identified years ago as a terror suspect -- but he was still able to get a licence to haul hazardous materials in Minnesota. Minnesota officials say they didn't know that the man (Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi) was suspected of having al-Qaida links when he applied in early 2002 for a commercial license to drive a school bus and haul hazardous materials. Sources tell the Star Tribune of Minneapolis that the F-B-I identified him as a suspected terrorist before Nine-Eleven. He was charged recently with lying to federal authorities about helping to ship portable field radios to Pakistan...

    A burgeoning East Boston-based street gang made up of alleged rapists and machete-wielding robbers has been linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network, prompting Boston police to ``turn up the heat'' on its members, the Herald has learned.

There are hundreds more MS-13 gangsters in towns along the North Shore, said Boston police Sgt. Detective Joseph Fiandaca, who has investigated the gang since...

    After obtaining American citizenship in 1994, the Muslim immigrant quickly began climbing the political ladder, working for Willie Brown, becoming a ‘human rights’ commissioner, and getting to know everyone in Democratic politics. Hijazi’s social media feed is decorated with photos of her posing with Bill Clinton, Hillary, Pelosi, the Obamas, and above all else, Kamala. “I’ve raised over $12 million for the Democratic Party,” Hijazi boasted at the anti-Israel panel. After the Hamas massacres of Oct 7, Hijazi relaunched her activism, claiming shortly afterward that 40 members of her family had been killed by Israeli bombing campaigns against Hamas. At...

    INTELLIGENCE agents from Prague to Swansea are uncovering a trail of clues that point to President Saddam Hussein of Iraq having a hand in al-Qaeda’s terrorist missions. Iraqi ministers have spent the week protesting Baghdad’s innocence to the United Nations, but will not say why some of its diplomats who met Mohammed Atta, one of the suspected September 11 hijackers, disappeared from their European posts after that date. Nor will Baghdad explain why Saddam’s agents were spotted at various times this year with Atta in Germany, Spain, Italy and the Czech Republic. Many in the Pentagon are sure Saddam ...

    The Weekly Standard ^ | Nov. 20, 2003 | Stephen F. Hayes
    A NEWSWEEK article by investigative reporters Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball about the memo linking Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein dismisses a recent WEEKLY STANDARD report as "hype" and concludes, the "tangled tale of the memo suggests that the case of whether there has been Iraqi-al Qaeda complicity is far from closed." While it's refreshing to see the establishment media pick up the story, the Newsweek article is less than authoritative. The authors write: "The Pentagon memo pointedly omits any reference to the interrogations of a host of other high-level al Qaeda and Iraqi detainees--including such notables as Khalid...

    Many of the quasi-conclusions are based largely on claims of innocence from Saddam Hussein, “a top official in Saddam’s government, Abid Hamid Mahmoud al-Kattab al-Tikriti,” Tariq Aziz and Faruq Hijazi. These are 4/7 of the primary players in any involvement or potential involvement between Saddam’s regime and al Qaeda. The other 3 primary players are Mohammed al-Douri (He is Saddam’s VP/muscle man/Thug-In-Charge who remains at large. He is also suspected of being the primary source for most of a large portion of the insurgency and most reports place him as directing operations from inside Syria). The last 2 primary players...
