Kashmiri terrorists, al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, part I

Sachin Parashar, of The Times of India, is reporting that the American embassy in India is on heightened alert amid reports of an impending terror attack.

The attack is reportedly scheduled to take place before July 30 by a 20-man cell. The cell is described as an "Iranian terror group" made up of Iranian, Afghan and Kashmiri nationals, armed with sophisticated weaponry.

What is noteworthy about this report is not only that the unnamed terror group is said to have previously "backed" Saddam Hussein but that the warning for the attack was gathered, at least in part, from captured members of al Qaeda in Pakistan.

On a side note, The Ayatollah hung out in Iraq in the 1970's before he ended up in France.

Seems like the terroists are hit in one area and they popup somewhere else. There is no doubt Saddamn had terroist connections so whether he had WMD or not isn't as impt as the terroist connections, when will people realize this?

Groups affiliated with al Qaeda in the Kashmir region include Lashkar-e-Tayyiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad , meaning that al Qaeda's knowledge of an impending attack is not unlikely.

The only good thing to come out of the Israeli/Lebanese conflict is that it's waking people up to the fact that Hamas/Hezbollah are proxy armies for Iran and Syria and that all of these groups, including the ones you mentioned, probably have loose affiliations.

I don't know when people started forgetting that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but it seems to have started right around the time the Bush administration said that Iraq had relationships with Al Qaeda.
