8 arrested in 1971 cop-killing tied to Black Panthers (updated)
AP via SFGate ^ | 1/23/7 | MARCUS WOHLSEN

San Francisco -- Eight men were arrested Tuesday in the 1971 killing of a San Francisco police officer that authorities say was part of a black power group's five-year effort to attack and kill law enforcement officers in San Francisco and New York.

Police said all eight are believed to be former members of the Black Liberation Army, a violent offshoot of the Black Panther Party. The Aug. 29, 1971 shooting death of Sgt. John V. Young, 51, at a San Francisco police station was one in a series of attacks by BLA members on law enforcement officials on both coasts, police said.

The attacks, carried out between 1968 and 1973, also included the bombing of a police funeral in San Francisco and the slayings of two New York City police officers, as well as three armed bank robberies, police said.

Seven of the men were charged with murder and conspiracy.

. . . The investigation of the BLA killing spree was reopened in 1999 after "advances in forensic science led to the discovery of new evidence in one of the unsolved cases," according to a news release from the San Francisco Police Department. No further details were given.

There is myth intermingled with fact. That was done by someone so the entire story can be dismissed.

See post 13. I'm very sure AIM is more reliable then snopes.

Any chance they are going to arrest Bill Ayers and his slut wife (she used sex to recruit new members to the Weathermen) Bernadine Dorn for their bombing activities with the Weathermen? The thought of them being drug out of the Ivy League schools they teach at in handcuffs is already making my day a lot better. Apparently there are still some people (on the subject of the Panthers) who think they were somehow fighting the man however, Newton's first stay in prison was for beating a 17 year old BLACK hooker to death. I recommend a book called "In the Shadow of the Panther" - it tells it the way it really was.

Good. So when are they going to arrest the remaining living members of the Circle of Six for the murder of NYPD Officer Phillip Cardillo back in 1972?

Three members of the circle of six:

New York City Mayor John Lindsey
Commissioner Benjamin Ward
Congressman Charles Rangel

I think today's events must make Ayers and Dohrn VERY nervous.
Both were investigated,along with other Weathermen, for the Park Station bombing in Febuary,1970,when one SFPD officer was killed.
Yes,read Shadow of the Panther.Very well researched.Also read Flores Forbes,Will You Die For Me.Forbes is one of the Panthers thought by Betty Van Patter's daughter to have killed her mom for revealing Panther bookeeping fraud.

I have been meaning to read that book, thanks. It was Betty Van Patter's murder that made David Horowitz come to his senses and leave the lunatic fringe. I am sure Frontpage Magazine.org will be covering this story tomorrow.

Forbes really dishes out the dirt on Huey and his megalomaina as the drugs captured him lock,stock and barrel.
Of course,in many ways its a self serving book since Forbes omits the Van Patter case and his alleged role in it.

I can already see what the trial is going to be like. The New Black Panther party will probably stand watch outside with shotguns, threatening WWIII if the eight are found guilty.

The early 1970's were also the years of the so-called Zebra murders.

These miscreants were a part of the so called Black Liberation Army. They were a group of Marxist/anarchists that formed when the Black Panthers broke up. The BLA also worked with the Weather Underground on a couple of projects which left security guards and police officers dead.

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

The BLA were nasty bunch of SOBs who had little regard for human life. One can only hope they get the justice they deserve but already, civil rights groups are starting their crap because they claim the poor cop killers weren't treated nice back in 1971.

AUGUST 1999 late : (ITALIAN DIPLOMAT'S DAUGHTER, SILVIA BARALDINI, IS SENT TO SERVE HER REMAINING SENTENCE IN ITALY - WAS THE CLINTON ADMIN TRYING TO PLACATE THE ITALIAN LEFTWING GOVERNMENT? - see FALN, also the BLA) "...Maybe the White House is telling the truth, after all. Maybe President Clinton's clemency offer to 16 FALN terrorists really wasn't motivated by his wife's Senate campaign. The evidence: The Clinton administration is acting as though it believes that violent terrorists just don't belong in U.S. prisons. Two weeks ago, to scant public notice, the Justice Department opened the prison gates to violent radical Silvia Baraldini. An Italian diplomat's daughter, she was sentenced to 40 years in prison in connection with several robberies carried out by black militants - including the 1981 Brink's armored-care holdup in Nyack, in which two cops and a security guard were murdered. Baraldini also has been linked to the jail break in which Joanne Chesimard - now living in Cuba - fled a New Jersey prison. And she was sentenced to an additional three years in a separate case for criminal contempt after she refused to testify before a grand jury investigating the FALN. Over the past decade, the Justice Department - citing the violent nature of her crimes - had rejected five requests by the Italian government to let Baraldini serve the remainder of her sentence in a Rome prison. This year, however, the request was granted. Why? Because the Clinton administration felt it needed to make a conciliatory gesture in order to placate Italy's left-wing government, which was angered by the bizarre acquittal last spring of U.S. Marine pilot Richard Ashby, whose low-flying plane sliced a gondola cable in the Alps, killing 20 people...." -- New York Post 9/8/99 Editorial via ALAMO-GIRL'S DOWNSIDE LEGACY AT TWO DEGREES OF PRESIDENT CLINTON ; SECTION: BREACH OF TRUST; SUBSECTION: TERROR; Revised 1/8/01

Who defended the BLA?

* National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom : ... the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom, or NCPPF, ... was founded in the 1960s to provide legal support to New Left terrorists in the Weather Underground, the Puerto Rican FALN and the Black Liberation Army, and which national-security specialists say was revived to push for Islamist terrorist causes.--------------"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

Who belongs to the NCPPF?

* American Muslim Council (AMC): The AMC calls itself an "active member" of the National Coalition to Protect Political Freedom, or NCPPF...--------------"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

Who's the AMC?

* AMC aka American Muslim Council : The American Muslim Council: The American Muslim Council is a non-profit socio-political organization established in 1990, to serve the interests of the Muslim community in the United States. AMC’s national leadership includes Muslim community leaders from across the United States. ---- AMC website

[Abdel al-Rahman] Haggag said he believed Osama bin Laden routinely funneled $5,000 payments to [1993 WTC bomb conspirator] Rahman through [Abdulrahman] Amoudi and his organization, the American Muslim Council. Bin Laden's funds were allegedly used to pay Rahman's rent and phone bills in New Jersey and Brooklyn, a source said. ---------http://www.nypost.com/news/worldnews/6954.htm

Who is associated with the AMC?

Abdurahman Alamoudi : Militant activist Abdurahman Alamoudi, [is] a founder and longtime leader of the American Muslim Council (AMC) -- see "Domestic Front in the War on Terror," December 17, 2001).

What's Abdulrahman Alamoudi known for doing?

Journalist Mary Jacoby, who reports on domestic Islamist networks for the [liberal rag] St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times, tells Insight that [Abdul Rahman] Alamoudi spearheaded efforts to install radical Muslim chaplains inside the U.S. Armed Forces and the prison system. In 1993, through his American Muslim Council (AMC), he spun off the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, one of three Islamic organizations to certify chaplains for the military. -------- "Alamoudi Received Cash From Libyan 'Jihad Fund'," J. Michael Waller , Insight Magazine, Oct. 13, 2003

But U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Special Agent Brett Gentrup said in court documents yesterday the feds suspect Amoudi might have been funneling the $340,000 to terror groups operating in Syria, such as Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
"Gentrup also said a transcript had been uncovered in which Amoudi criticized al Qaeda's selection of terror targets. Amoudi said too many Muslims were killed in attacks such as the 1998 Kenyan embassy bombing, the court documents claimed. "I prefer to hit a Zionist target in America or Europe or elsewhere," Amoudi said, according to the court documents.

Who else is associated with the AMC?

* Cynthia McKinney : AMC gave money to Cynthia McKinney on 9/11/2001. McKinney is the former Georgia congresswoman who said Bush knew about 9/11; she recently attended a conspiranoia conference in Germany sponsored by Michael Ruppert. ---Seamole's Log [Freeper and blogger] http://seamole.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_seamole_archive.html as retrieved on Jul 27, 2004 06:45:35 GMT.

Whoe else?

* Sami al Arian : [Sami] Al-Arian worked with several Washington-based groups, including the American Muslim Council, or AMC, and the Islamic Institute, as part of his alleged influence operations. He was the first speaker at the lobbyist-training seminars at the AMC's 2000 and 2001 national conventions. He coached council members and others on lobbying Congress to influence legislation and statutes designed to give federal authorities the legal tools necessary to build cases against his and other alleged terrorist-support activities and to use that evidence in a court of law to try to put Al-Arian and his alleged jihadists in prison for the rest of their lives. -"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

What is Sami al Arian known for doing?

[Sami] Al-Arian is [as of July 2002] also chairman of the National Coalition for the Protection of Political Freedom (NCPPF), a legal-aid group based in New York for U.S. and foreign terrorist causes (see "Domestic Front in the War on Terror," December 17, 2001). Alamoudi's AMC is a leading member of the NCPPF. -- "Supporters of Hamas and Hezbollah File Suit Against Bush," by Michael Waller, Insight on the News, July 17, 2002

Yipes... back to square one... NCPPF defended the BLA.

So...who else is associated with the AMC?

Hillary Clinton : AMC gave money to the Hillary! campaign for Senate in 2000, under the name American Museum Council. Oops, must have been a typo, said Hillary! staffers, who promptly returned the money. ---Seamole's Log [Freeper and blogger] http://seamole.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_seamole_archive.html as retrieved on Jul 27, 2004 06:45:35 GMT.

Hmmm. So who else is associated with the AMC?

* Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin aka H. Rap Brown : An early president of the executive board of the AMC was Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, who was twice on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list. As a 1960s radical, Brown threatened to assassinate Lady Bird Johnson when she was first lady of the United States. He now is serving a life sentence in a Georgia prison for the 2000 murder of Fulton County Sheriff's Deputy Ricky Kinchen. -"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

Okaaaaay...H. Rap Brown aka Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin , was a Black Panther. What else is he known for doing?

2000 : (JAMIL ABDULLAH AL-AMIN aka H. RAP BROWN, FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD OF THE AMERICAN MUSLIM COUNCIL aka AMC, MURDERS SHERIFF'S DEPUTY KINCHEN; BROWN WAS ONCE IN THE BLACK PANTHERS) He now is serving a life sentence in a Georgia prison for the 2000 murder of Fulton County Sheriff's Deputy Ricky Kinchen. -"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

So, what other groups are associated with the AMC?

* ANSWER, Code Pink, United for Peace and Justice : American Muslim Council co-sponsored at least one march on Washington with ANSWER, United for Peace and Justice, Code Pink for Peace, etc., etc.---Seamole's Log [Freeper and blogger] http://seamole.blogspot.com/2003_10_01_seamole_archive.html as retrieved on Jul 27, 2004 06:45:35 GMT.

ANSWER... hmmm. Aren't they backed by George Soros?

And let's not forget AMC's connection to this group:

Sudanese National Islamic Front
APRIL 1994 : (AMC DEFENDS THE SUDANESE NATIONAL ISLAMIC FRONT) In its April 1994 newsletter, AMC defended the ruling Sudanese National Islamic Front, which the State Department designated as a terrorist group, arguing that the Khartoum regime was "not engaged in terrorist activities and is not harboring terrorists." --------"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003-"Undermining war on terror : Muslim groups weakening fed laws under guise of protecting civil liberties," World Net Daily, March 10, 2003

What's the big deal about the Sudanese National Islamic Front?

It's headed by Hassan al Tourabi, the middleman between Iraq and al Qaeda:

1990s : (SUDAN : AL-TOURABI ARRANGES FOR BIN LADEN TO MEET IRAQI AGENT AL-HIJAZI, WHO WOULD EVENTUALLY HEAD IRAQI INTELLIGENCE) During the early 1990s, Sudan’s Sheikh Hassan al-Tourabi of the Islamic National Front arranged meetings between bin Laden and Iraqi Intelligence officials. Bin Laden met with Faruq al-Hijazi, an Iraqi intelligence agent in the Sudan who would later head Iraqi intelligence for Saddam Hussein. There would be later meetings as well in 1994 and 1995.- Findlaw, Ashton, et al. v. al Qaeda

Of course there is no connection between Iraq and al Qaeda according to Pelosi and friends, just as there is no connection between Hillary Clinton, the AMC, Alamoudi and the Black Panthers.

1993 : (1993 IRAQI DOCUMENT -FOUND IN MARCH 2004 - LISTS OSAMA BIN LADEN AS A COLLABORATOR WITH THE IRAQI IIS AND STATES THAT HE IS IN GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE IRAQI IIS SECTION IN SYRIA ) Washington Times Pentagon correspondents Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough reported March 19 [2004] on a 20-page, Arabic-language document from the Iraqi Intelligence Service. Stamped "top secret," it lists IIS "collaborators," among them, "the Saudi Osama bin Laden." It says he is a "Saudi businessman and is in charge of the Saudi opposition in Afghanistan...And he is in good relationship with our section in Syria." Signed "Jabar," the 1993 record seemed authentic to an American official who reviewed it.-- "Clarke’s Not Blind; Even the Dems’ favorite grandstander sees the Saddam-9/11 link.," By Deroy Murdock, National Review Online , March 26, 2004, 8:58 a.m., http://www.nationalreview.com/murdock/murdock200403260858.asp See also : The Mother of All Connections (New evidence of collaboration between Saddam's Iraq and al Qaeda) The Weekly Standard

No connections at all.
