What is this Man Plotting?

A newly revealed summit of terrorists raises fears of a fresh plan to attack the U.S. This bombmaker and pilot could be a key player

By ELAINE SHANNON WASHINGTON AND TIM MCGIRK ISLAMABAD


WANTED: Three undated images of Adnan el-Shukrijumah, from an FBI website, obtained Aug. 9

Special Report: Al-Qaeda in America


Sunday, Aug. 15, 2004
It was a gathering of terrorism's elite, and they slipped silently into Pakistan from all over the world in order to attend. From England came Abu Issa al-Hindi, an Indian convert to radical Islam who specializes in surveillance. From an unknown hideout came Adnan el-Shukrijumah, an accomplished Arab Guyanese bombmaker and commercial pilot. And from Queens in New York City came Mohammed Junaid Babar, a Pakistani American who arrived with cash, sleeping bags, ponchos, waterproof socks and other supplies for the mountain-bound jihadis.

The March 2004 terrorist summit in the lawless province of Waziristan, described to TIME by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf last week and expounded on by U.S. officials, has become a subject of obsession for authorities in both countries. "The personalities involved, the operations, the fact that a major explosives expert came here and went back," Musharraf said, "all this was extremely significant."

Perhaps someone could explain how Adnan al-Shukrijumah (better known as Jafar the Pilot)-the subject of a 2 year + FBI manhunt-was able to leave the US without difficulty and make his way to Waziristan ???

The last sighting of Adnan el-Shukrijumah was in Central American on the Memorial Day Weekend. He also holds several different passports....so his turning up in the tribal area doesn't really surprise me.

I would love to know where the photo on the left of him clean shaven and in a blue polo shirt came from.......that is a new one to me.

Unfortunately, most of them look alike and they are all named Mohammed, so that's why we scrutinize the little white grannies at the airports. It's so much easier.

We can't

There's an election on don't you know.

(I agree with you btw)

I'll tell you this much tho. If the friggin govt does not shut all of our borders DOWN and we get hit one more time, this country had better rise up in arms against this govt and teach it that its ONLY purpose is to serve and defend US.

Not the damned political parties.

Dog, I'll bet he did a "reverse wetback" at the Mexican border.Once in Mexico,parting with a few pesos would have gotten him into Central America.
