AL-QAEDA'S MR. NUCLEAR TO HEAD FRESH ATTACK ON U.S.
adnkronosinternational ^ | 12 September 2006

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.

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)

LATIMES ^ | 09/03/06 | Josh Meyer
A Mystery Man Who Keeps the FBI Up at Night Officials hunting virtually full time for a Florida computer technician see him as the ultimate 'sleeper agent' in the post-9/11 world. By Josh Meyer Times Staff Writer September 3, 2006 CHARLIEVILLE, Trinidad and Tobago — Five years ago, as 19 Al Qaeda operatives in the United States put the finishing touches on what would become the Sept. 11 attacks, a frail, asthmatic computer engineer from South Florida paid a visit to this tiny Muslim enclave where he'd lived as a boy. Adnan Gulshair Muhammad el Shukrijumah, then 25, kept a...

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.

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

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!

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

Cheers,

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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