AL-QAEDA'S MR. NUCLEAR TO HEAD FRESH ATTACK ON U.S.

Dubai, 12 Sept. (AKI) - Osama bin Laden is planning to carry out new, more destructive attacks inside the United States, and there is someone working on this terror plot currently in the US, according to Hamid Mir, the famed Pakistani journalist who obtained the only post-9/11 interviews with Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. In an interview quoted on the website of the al-Arabiya television network, Mir spoke about his last trip to Afghanistan and his meeting with al-Qaeda members and Taliban leaders.

In his interview with Al.Arabiya.net, Mir said that the al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters referred to attacks targeting the US-led coalition forces during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan which begins on 24 September, and that the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden was in "good" health during a meeting he had recently with the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar.

Mir also said that bin Laden has assigned a man named Adnan Al-Shukri Juma to carry out a new attack within the US which is intended to be larger than the 11 September, 2001 attacks. According to Mir, Adnan Jumaa has smuggled explosives and nuclear materials into the US through the Mexican border over the last two years and is hiding somewhere in America where the FBI has not been able to locate him.

The Pakistani journalist also gave a brief background on Adnan Jumaa. Born in Saudi Arabia, he moved to the US where he met a group of a Al-Qaeda members in the Al-Farouq mosque in New York in 2000. He then traveled to an Arab state and from there to Pakistan then Afghanistan. He left there two years ago and since then has smuggled nuclear material from Mexico to the US. Jumaa has earned the nickname "Al-Qaeda nuclear whizz" and is tagged to play the same role in a future attack as Mohammed Atta did in the 9/11 attacks.

In March 2003 the FBI announced that it was seeking a link between Adnan and others accused of terroris, saying Adnan Jumaa "or maybe one of his several nicknames" had appeared in intelligence information gathered after the arrest of Khalid Sheik Mohammad.

Western media had reported in earlier times that Adnan Jumaa was a Saudi pilot, but the Saudi Ministry of Interior security spokesman lieutanent Mansour Al-Turki said in a statement to Al-Watan newspaper two months ago that Adnan Jumaa is not a Saudi citizen, he was living in the kingdom until he was eleven years old and left along with his parents, who are not Saudis, twenty years ago.

Adnan Al-Shukri's name has been mentioned in many Western media reports claiming that Al-Qaeda has acquired nuclear technology. The American writer, Paul Williams, in his book " The Al-Qaeda Connection: International Terrorism, Organized Crime, and the Coming Apocalypse", says he was among a number of Al-Qaeda members trained for the nuclear technology.

On another issue, Hamid Mir spoke to Alarabiya.net of his last trip to Afghanistan and his meeting with a leader of Taliban named "Khaibar" in Zabul who claimed that 300 Taliban suicide bombers had managed to sneak into Kabul and Jalalabad to carry out attacks against coalition troops during Ramadan.

Mir alleges that there was a meeting between Bin Laden and Mullah Omar several few weeks ago in the mountain area of Zabul where they planned more attacks, "I received this piece of information from one of the Taliban leaders who attended the meeting himself and I met him recently in Afghanistan" Mir said. "He told me that this was the second meeting between the two men since last year and that Bin Laden's health seemed good while he was eating with Mullah Mohammad Omar.

The Pakistani journalist expressed his surprise of the changing situation in Afghanistan; saying that the Taliban had come back to rule some areas and spread their special courts, their special administrations, nothing that even some police officials follow their orders.

Found this potentially very significant article on the Michael Savage website. The source, Hamid Mir has some very good credentials. See

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamid_Mir

Hope there is some followup on this.

[MNJohnnie]

Absurd nonsense. Just the usual bellicose ranting of the incompetent and the impotent. They count on the drama queen nature of the US Junk Media to blindly regurgitate their threats and ranting.

[Brilliant]

We need to make our policy clear that we will blow up the country who gives these guys the bomb.

[Perdogg]

I think Michael Wiener, oops, Savage, said that this was supposed to happen some time ago. I think this is also in the World Net Daily spam bomb.

[MNJohnnie]

Funny. This is a virtual repeat of the 2004 "A nuke has been smuggled across the border and is on its way to Boston" story that turned out to be a complete fraud.

[blam]

"...and that the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden was in "good" health during a meeting he had recently with the Taliban leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar."

The mention of his health is telling. He's either dead or on his death bed. Islamists always lie.

[BeHoldAPaleHorse]

Funny. This is a virtual repeat of the 2004 "A nuke has been smuggled across the border and is on its way to Boston" story that turned out to be a complete fraud.

Hey, why rewrite a classic?

[djf]

They better not.

There will be blood flowing in the streets in America and around the world.

And not very much will be from caucasian males.

[MikeA]

And people on Free Republic to hand wring over it...they've been ranting the same nonsense for year. Nuclear materials are not so easily smuggled into Mexico much less across the US border as people want to believe. It's highly radioactive for one thing. It's not likely something you just throw in a duffle bag. Geez...

[vetvetdoug]

A nuke right up our butt may finally wake up the Democrats and liberals as to the seriousness of the world situation with respect to the Islamofacists. Maybe then we can get on with this war on terror with dedicated earnest. I am afraid an American Nuke would be the needed catalyst.

[djf]

Trouble is, they only have to succeed once.

[MikeA]

It's an awfully high hurdle to clear.

[TampaDude]

Trouble is, they only have to succeed once.

Trade 200,000 Americans for 200,000,000 Arab Muslims???

[Fithal the Wise]

"this was supposed to happen some time ago"

Bojinka was years before 9/11. Please deal with the specifics of this report instead of just dismissing it.

[MediaMole]

Hamid Mir has been peddling this nonsense for years.

He's tag-teaming the "bin laden has nukes" recipe with Paul Williams.

Take one part "anything can be smuggled through the Mexican border," blend in two parts nuclear ignorance and top with a pinch of the truth.

If it were this easy for bin laden to get the bomb, Iran would have had one years ago.

[djf]

Agreed.

But we're not talking about soccer moms with cell phones and SUV's doing it, we're talking hardened criminals who are willing to strap explosives to their own bodies as long as they can kill some of us doing it.

[Antoninus II]

may finally wake up the Democrats and liberals

Are you kidding? They'll just blame Bush and demand that we completely disengage from all of the Middle East. They'll also blame Israel...

[cripplecreek]

A dirty bomb is the most likely scenario and you're right they only have to succeed once.

[RightWhale]

writer, Paul Williams, in his book

This one made the talk show rounds a while ago. Savage didn't like him at all. Noory was polite, as usual.

[Perdogg]

I don't mean to dismiss it out of hand, but I was listening either in the late winter or last fall when Savage said this event was going to happen on a particular day and it didn't.

[samm1148]

Sadly, though it be speculation I believe the democrats have fully embraced fascism in this country. Were such a tragic event to occur I can picture the usual fascist suspects (Kerry, Kennedy) on TV the hour after the explosion stating why America deserved this. (An hour after that, Judge Lynch would be settling the outcome of the next election)

[gotribe]

We need to torture Mr. Mir - where did you find osama?

[BIGZ]

Not enough Arab Muslims.

[samadams2000]

And all beehives in this country would be fumigated,followed by loyalty oaths and deportations.If you know what im sayin?????

[EBH]

No, but it can be smuggled in 55 gallon drums.

Mir also said that bin Laden has assigned a man named Adnan Al-Shukri Juma to carry out a new attack within the US

[Tail Gunner John]

Even a nuclear strike in America would not matter to many unilateral disarmament democrats.

Their line: "This was all Bush's fault. Now since they have nukes we must stop our unjust war before we force them to hit us again"

This sounds ridiculous but you know it would happen.

[tkathy]

I think OBL must have been drinking too much camel urine. (there's a hadith where Mohammad commands muslims to drink camel urine).

[TomGuy]

The plane plot was suggested, tried, planned, tried again, updated from the early 1990s.

They finally succeeded with it.

Recall all the naysayers in the US in the 90s who said they would never use planes as missiles.

Wrongo!

[RightWhale]

He says seven nukes, and that would not galvanize the country but end the country as we know it.

[saveliberty]

Hi MNJohnnie,

I think that you might want to read Allahpundit from Hot Air, who analyzes this item

Cheers,

[Perdogg]

There was some guy Savage was tauting who said that Illegals had smuggled a nuke across the border.

[TomGuy]

they've been ranting the same nonsense for year

Islamofanatics ranted that they would bring down the Twin Towers. They tried in 93. A few were killed and the rest of the country laughed at their folly.

The country quit laughing September 11, 2001.

[RightWhale]

Savage taunted him last time he was on, too. Now mentions that the date of this atrocity he predicted has passed.

[rintense]

It would be easier to smuggle things across the border with Canada.

[RightWhale]

Recall all the naysayers in the US in the 90s who said they would never use planes as missiles.

Only mention I know was in a Clancy novel. Were there others?

[Tarkus2040]

Funny. This is a virtual repeat of the 2004 "A nuke has been smuggled across the border and is on its way to Boston" story that turned out to be a complete fraud.

"Funny" how at one time none of us could ever imagine Islamofascist terrorists flying planes into buildings here on U.S. soil.

[MNJohnnie]

I am sorry but a blogger who calls him Jorge Bush is a wack job not a serious commentator. You might want to reconsider your faith in Hot Air. Seems pretty obvious this is just another wack job pushing his one item political agenda.

[Chani]

ping for later

[Cobra64]

According to Mir, Adnan Jumaa has smuggled explosives and nuclear materials into the US through the Mexican border over the last two years and is hiding somewhere in America where the FBI has not been able to locate him.

IF this is true, then the Bushbots who say illegal immigration has no connection with terrorism will be proved wrong.

(Nomex and Kevlar on)

[MNJohnnie]

Not only that. The simplest thing for terrorists with the money and resources Al Qeda have is to hire a private boat and sail it into a US Harbor or rent a small plane in Canada and fly it across the border. This "smuggle it across the Mexican border" is just to transparently in line with the Savage wack jobs ranting about the border.

[RightWhale]

Savage is toying with this guy who is selling books.

[ladyinred]

Too bad it is against the law now to wire tap to find out who is contacting this guy . Too bad it is against the moral law to profile these Islamic dirt bags. This is no surprise. One, you can never stop all of these kinds of attacks, and two the left has done all they can to hinder the WOT and the administration in catching the bad guys.

[The_Reader_David]

I think you mean not very much will be from Christian, Jewish or secularist males of European descent. Last I checked, the vast majority of Arabs, all Persians, Pakistanis, Afghans, Azeris, Bosniacs, Albanians, and a fair number of other, smaller other majority Muslim ethnic groups are caucasians.

[maxsand]

"Sadly, though it be speculation I believe the democrats have fully embraced fascism in this country."

You do not know how astute your comment is.

The popular myth among the "Bush is Hitler crowd" is that Hitler arose from the hard conservative politics of Wiemar Germany. The fact is that the National Socialists arose from an amalgamation of extremists from both the right and the left. The true conservative right in Germany at that time were weak and the socialists were very vocal and were a strong political power. Essentially the National Socialists co-opted the socialists to create the Third Riech as we know it today.

If you are confused as to who the true fascists are:


CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL POLICY

The Social Democratic Party is striving for the abolition of the educational privileges of the propertied classes.
Education, schooling, and research are public matters; their operation is to be secured through public institutions and the expenditure of public funds. The provision of instruction and instructional materials free of charge. Economic support for pupils and students.
The public institutions of education, schooling, culture and research are secular. All legally grounded interference in these institutions by churches and religious or ideological communities is to be opposed. Separation of church and state. Separation of church and schools. Secular technical and occupational schools and institutions of higher education. No expenditure of public monies for ecclesiastical or religious purposes.
The unified structuring of the school system. The creation of the closest possible relations between practical and intellectual labor on all levels.
The common education of both sexes by both sexes.
Standardized training of teachers in colleges and universities. [...]

A nuke right up our butt may finally wake up the Democrats and liberals as to the seriousness of the world situation with respect to the Islamofacists.

Nope. It would make the passive middle more attentive to the fact that we are at war for a few years. But it would do nothing to change the minds of most liberals--it would just be W's fault, "if we only hadn't invaded Iraq, supported Zionist oppressors, ignored Kyoto, ignored the wiser heads in France and Germany and wasted their sympathy, put panties on guys heads, and flushed korans down the toilet, this wouldn't have happened. . . blah blah blah."

To be sure, libs would go silent for a while the way they did after 911 and then be back to their destructive tricks when they think it's safe to be libs again.

[TomGuy]

Only mention I know was in a Clancy novel.

You're joking, right?

Don't you recall all the furor over Ramzi Yousef and his plan developed in the Philipines to use planes. That was from around 1996 (IIRC).

And the scenario has been mentioned in various Congressional Intel reports.

[RegulatorCountry]

Project Bojinka was blowing planes up, not using them as missiles.

[Fithal the Wise]

Thank you. Your specific response was what I was hoping to get at freerepublic.

[HitmanLV]

Doc Savage has Paul Williams on now about this very topic. I don't find Williams particularly impressive or credible, though.
