AL Fuqra's Chief. Sheikh Gilani.
http://216.239.41.104/search?q=cache:ssXGoBosfecJ:www.holyislamville.org/sheikh/CbsInterview.html+SHeikh+gilani&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 Gilani says that he is used to being a suspect whenever there is a terrorist act against the U.S. He wanted to talk about what he sees as the most serious threat to the world, why bad things happen in America, including acts of terrorism. These bad things, he says, are caused by invisible forces.
“There are beings who are not visible to you,” he says. “But they inhabit this earth. And they are damaging, causing psychotic diseases, fits, epilepsies. And controlling the agents, controlling the human beings.”
Gilani says he can control those evil forces. He says that he is not a threat to the U.S., but could be its salvation.
To understand why, he points to an American television show “The X-Files.” He says the mind control and evil influence that aliens wield over human beings in the program is much like the power of the invisible forces he believes in.
“What is an X-file? Most of things - could have happened or will happen,” Gilani said. “Human beings can be made to do things against their will. They can be made to commit crimes. They can made to go and kill people. You know? And all your missiles, all your rockets, space ships go up. And electronics, they can be damaged, influenced, and misdirected through the agencies of jinn beings.”
Muslims all over the world also believe in these invisible evil forces that are described in the Koran. The Sheikh feels that these forces are a much bigger threat to the U.S. than terrorism. He says the United States should thank him for passing on his message about the invisible world instead of accusing him of terrorism.
Gilani says that his followers are not anti-American. “In America, the Muslims are better than any part of the world,” he says. “They have more freedom. They are more facilities of life. Where will they go? OK, they do something wrong, where will they go? I don't want them. That's their country. The American Muslims are better off in America than anywhere else. And they will never do anything wrong against their country. That is my directive to you and to them.”
This is not exactly the marching orders you would expect from a man who had been listed in the United States report on terrorism. But Gilani and his followers, in fact, were taken off the list two years ago. And Gilani’s praise for the United States seems to set him apart from so many others in Pakistan.
So much for all those promises of swift justice.
Jail? It probably looks and feels like a five star hotel.
The ISI take care of their own.
And this KSM implication might mean that certain elements may want to get Omar off as some quid pro quo to the Pakistanis for their help.
Whether Omar killed him or not is irrelevant. He was part of the plot, again whether they originally meant to kill him is also irrelevant. omar already admitted to kidnapping Americans in Delhi India before the local cops rescued the hostages. He was freed as part of the hostage exchange after Indian Airlines Flight 99 was hijacked from Kathmandu and ended up in Kandahar. There has been speculation this was a dry run for 9/11 in terms of crowd control, etc.
So he's at the very least an accessory. Whether he hangs or not, I doubt US authorities will get to interrogate him.
