Sleeper Cells in the United States and Canada
American Thinker ^ | February 02, 2007 | Dave Gaubatz

Posted on 02/02/2007 7:16:58 PM PST by neverdem

There is every reason to suspect that we will endure suicide missions by Islamist sleeper cells. They are already in place. They are waiting for the right time. I know this from experience.

I have worked over 15 years as a U.S. Federal Agent, a U.S. State Department Arabic linguist, and the first civilian Federal Agent deployed into Iraq at the start of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.  Since returning from Iraq I have been involved in terrorism analysis, specifically the mindset of terrorists. During my extensive research on sleeper cells I have talked with hundreds of people from the Middle East from all walks of life, and have talked with Iraqi Government officials, Iraqi military, and Iraqi police officers.  In addition I have interviewed numerous counter-terrorism specialists in the U.S. and abroad.  In the last year alone I have trained over 4000 U.S. Law Enforcement officers in Basic Investigative Arabic and counter-terrorism. The conclusion of my research is the title of this article.

Before I departed for the Middle East in 2003 I had been assigned to Kirtland AFB, NM.  Kirtland has some of the best scientists in the world working on U.S. Government projects.  I had been working closely with these scientists who specialized in nuclear energy, directed energy, laser technology, bio-weapons and more.  I fully understand the impact if suicide bombers begin progressing from conventional explosives to unconventional methods.

The Middle East

In Jan 2003, I was assigned to Arar Air Base Saudi Arabia.  Arar is located near the border of Iraq. My mission was to interact with Saudi military officials in order to determine the support we could expect from the Saudi government, to determine if Iraqis were monitoring the activities of the U.S. forces at Arar, and to infiltrate the encampments of the Bedouin community (Saudis and Iraqis living in the desert of Arar). This involved leaving the relatively safe confines of Arar Air Base and driving to the Bedouin camps. 

It was most important the Saudis did not know we were leaving the compound because they had forbidden us to do so.  Four U.S. special Agents would use our ATV's and/or four wheel drive vehicles to conduct these missions. The Saudi Government had active spies collecting information pertaining to our troop strength, our weapons, and any other intelligence they could obtain. The Saudis were providing the intelligence to the Saudi Government, and we were very confident it was also being passed to Iraqi intelligence. 

During January 2003 and Feb 2003, Saudi Intelligence officers would boast that the American military was overreacting about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction.  Their bravery changed as we approached the invasion of Iraq in Mar 2003.  The high-ranking Saudi officers were scrambling to obtain gas masks and other protective equipment.  They knew their equipment was substandard and they wanted U.S.-made protective equipment.  We gave them some of ours.  The Saudi Intelligence officers were visibly frightened about a potential chemical, biological, or nuclear attack and expressed their fears.  This was my first confirmation Saddam Hussein still had WMD material and the capability to use them. 

The Saudis knew Saddam had WMD and would use them if he had the opportunity.

When I arrived in Nasiriyah, Iraq (after the start of war) my team and I immediately began interviewing (in the field) Iraqis from all walks of life to determine where the WMD sites were located.  At the beginning of the war Iraqis were very helpful and provided us exact locations and proof WMD was at certain locations (primarily southern Iraq because Saddam knew the UN Weapons Inspectors had seldom inspected any locations in this area).  They had always focused in northern Iraq.

Four primary suspected WMD sites were located.  We tried from April until July 2003 to have the Iraq Survey Group come and excavate these sites.  They advised us they did not have the manpower nor the heavy equipment needed to excavate the sites, which were underground bunkers (beneath waterways).  We were frustrated.  I have received information from various sources that the WMD I had attempted to have excavated was subsequently looted (after the war) and transferred to Syria.

While in Iraq we determined the following:

1. Russian activity in Iraq had been rampant several months prior to the war and up until the day before the invasion.

2. Iranians were infiltrating southern Iraq by the thousands and were preparing to assist insurgents in removing U.S. forces from Iraq.

3. We found numerous pieces of evidence indicating WMD were in Iraq before the war began and some were still in Iraq.

4. I and other agents were informed by Iraqis that a civil war would erupt and violence against U.S. forces would increase due to the Iranian and Russian influence.

All of this information was provided through intelligence channels, but was ignored. Today we are seeing the results of our intelligence being ignored in 2003.

Vulnerability at home

Upon returning from Iraq I left Federal Service to pursue a career educating U.S. law enforcement in the U.S.  I wrote a book titled "Arabic for law enforcement and military". During my lectures to local, county, and state law enforcement officers it was revealed the true first line defenders in the U.S. are not trained nor prepared to combat terrorism in the U.S. (through no fault of their own).  The local law enforcement agencies were not receiving adequate funds or assistance from the Federal Government to fight terrorism.  The majority advised they were supposed to be the first line defenders, but in actuality they did not even know what Al-Qaeda meant, and/or could not point out Iraq or Iran on a map. They had no Arabic language training.

I began conducting research and talking with experts from various fields and determined three significant facts that I corroborated by further research:

1. The terrorists groups such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and Al-Qaeda each had different leaders and to some degree operated in different ways, but they each had the same two goals (destroy Israel and destroy America and any country that supported either).

2.  Our nuclear research centers were very vulnerable to an attack and the potential for a suicide bomber using a dirty radiological bomb from these facilities was and is a high probability. Note: Vic Walter and Brian Ross of ABC News did an excellent report on the lack of security at these facilities. I received an enormous amount of information from individuals associated with Russian nuclear programs that there is nuclear material being sold on the black market and nuclear material is in the hands of Islamic Extremists. 

3. Terrorist sleeper cells are located primarily in North Carolina, Michigan, and Canada. The "sleepers" are prepared to conduct terrorist attacks within the U.S., and nuclear material is available to them. "Prepared" in this instance indicates they have the necessary tools to carry our their attacks and are prepared to die.

About nine months ago a lady from Morehead City, NC contacted me and asked for assistance because she had been ignored by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), the FBI, and local law enforcement.  Her allegation: A group of people who were citizens of Lebanon was operating from NC and was involved in financially supporting Hezbollah.  The members were also befriending United States Marine Corps personnel (to include the Marine Corps Base Commander at Cherry Point USMC Base). The Lebanese citizens had free access to the Marine Corps base and had frequent parties with USMC members. She had ledgers; photographs of U.S. Marines with the Lebanese members, numerous passports (some falsified), duplicate drivers licenses, social security cards, and financial transactions log books both in Arabic and English. I obtained the information from her and conducted research.  I turned my information over to the NCSBI office.

Less than a week ago I met several citizens from the Middle East who are familiar with terrorist groups, their methodology, and more importantly the mindset of terrorists (specifically Al-Qaeda). They believe violence in Iraq will increase and the number of U.S. troops in Iraq is not a factor. The largest percentage of U.S. troops in Iraq are support troops and not combat troops. From the beginning of 2003 until now the number of troops who actually engage insurgents is actually less than 5% of all assigned troops in the region. Al-Qaeda now has a strong hold in Iraq and they will not let go. Terrorist operations are active in the U.S. and are being operated/financed in Michigan. U.S. citizens need to understand there are people trained and prepared to carry our suicide missions in the U.S. and nothing is off limits.  Churches, malls, and even the schools our children attend are not off limits to suicide bombers. It is only a relatively short time before the U.S. will begin seeing suicide terrorist missions.

I will continue to research terrorism related issues in the U.S. and Canada and will bring forward the results. My next project is to follow Dr. Paul William's investigation into McMaster University located in Canada. My initial research indicates terrorists are being educated here with the approval of some university administrators. I have contacted the university and informed them of this project and will give them an opportunity to respond to each piece developed during my research on terrorism at McMaster.  McMaster is not alone when it comes to nuclear reactors located on major university sites.  Nuclear reactors are located on a large number of major university campuses in the U.S. There locations are not classified and are described on the internet.

Children are the ones who suffer in wartime and I want to prevent any child from ever having to experience a terrorist attack.

This is what I consider to be the biggest terror threat to the U.S. security.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/012642.php

The Muslims here are all involved, either actively or passively. It is such a closed and incestuous society, that they all know what's going on with the homegrown terrorists. Just like 9/11. Not one single Muslim warned the authorities about the attacks. How long had the 19 hijackers been here? And not one single Muslim knew about the plot? Of course they did. They all knew. The attacks on 9/11 were just one step in the grand plan to defeat America from within...THE MUSLIMS HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY.

"We need legislation for "Letters of Marque" asap. Take aim, double-tap, etc. Repeat as necessary."

Never happen. I think our governments reaction to suicide bombers and terrorist attacks on our soil would be to further clamp down on the citizens. I'm talking disarmament of the populace, increased surveillance and other police state activities above and beyond what's needed to stop the terrorists. They still haven't closed the borders and they're still passing out visas like crazy to every "student" and Imam who shows up.

My wife is Mexican but could be easily mistaken for Middle Eastern. She takes frequent flights due to her occupation and on occasion these are on short notice and one way. She is very often pulled out of line for a complete search of her luggage etc. She does not like this but understands.

My son has a very tanned dark complexion and eyes. He too is often pulled out of line (as am I when accompanying him.) Big deal.....a lot of money, time and inconvenience could be saved if racial profiling were paramount in determining who is searched....but common sense has no part in a politically-correct society.

Agreed. Depends on how much pain is endured. Sh*t will have to hit the fan big time before we wake up. But it's coming, IMHO.

Unfortunately, America is unlikely to realize that our very existence is threatened by these terrorist groups and sleeper cells until the next 9/11 (or worse) attack takes place.

THEN (mark my words) there will be all kinds of hand wringing, wailing, bombast, finger-pointing and accusations made by Democrats against Republicans, claiming that the Bush Administration failed to protect America, and it won't matter whether or not it is true, it will simply be political payback for even bringing up the issue of Bill Clinton's malfeasance, incompetence and inability to take out Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda when he had the chance.

That is why we saw Emperor Billigula blowing up at Chris Wallace on FOX, that is why Sandy Burglar was stealing and destroying classified documents from the National Archives, it was to deny, hide and eliminate any evidence of the utter failure of the Clinton Administration to adequately defend this Nation.

America was foolish enough to follow the amoral pied piper from Arkansas with his saxophone and pornographic life style, not once (in '92) but twice ('96), and on September 11, 2001, the price for that foolish indulgence was paid with 3000+ American lives.

Here, we have what certainly appears to be a well written article by someone who has the experience and knowledge to know what they're talking about, but unless our elected officials find it within themselves to wake up from their self-imposed anesthetized state, cease bowing and scraping to political correctness, and babbling about the so-called 'Religion of Peace', we will ultimately see a terrorist attack on the United States which will make 9/11 look like a stick-up at the local convenience store.

I pray it won't be so, but I fear it will.

If they get the govt. folks paranoid enough to turn on the citizens and try to disarm them, then al-Qaida has won a big victory in the WOT.

TERRORIST SLEEPER CELLS IN AMERICA

Several months ago a brave lady from North Carolina contacted me and provided information about people from Lebanon (living in NC) who were financing terrorism. The FBI ignored her. I listened to her and reviewed the hundreds of documents she had. I informed NCSBI. One member was arrested. On 21 Jan 2007, Fox News (David Asman) did a 1 hour documentary on the Hezbollah group from NC. A big portion was left out: The Hezbollah group recruited numerous U.S. Marines, to include a General assigned to the Marine Camp near Morehead, NC. The General allowed the Hezbollah group free access to the base. Photographs of the General and the Marines have been provided to me.

Previously I have provided information about WMD in Iraq. A U.S. citizen informed me today that HQ AFOSI denied him access to my intelligence reports I filed in Iraq during the initial stage of the war (2003). I have provided information about Hezbollah operation in the U.S.. There are terrorist sleeper groups/members in the U.S. and it is only a matter of time before America falls victim to suicide bombers and worse if we don't wake up.

If you have any information about suspected terrorists operating in the U.S., and have been ignored by the FBI or any other agency, contact me and I assure you I will look into the matter. I will forward to law enforcement officers who will not ignore the issues. pdgaubatz@yahoo.com

I agree with you .. the public is not paying attention.

The mess in Boston proves to me that these advertizers are still at 9-10 .. having no concept of what their scheme might symbolize.

Thank you for pinging nit. It's frightening to know but we knew that sooner or later it would happen.

Sadly it won't be untill they do the deed that some people will really understand the danger we are facing.

But they saw it on 9/11 and have let it fade from their minds.

That makes two of us! The Muslim apologists on FR will call us 'paranoid', and 'unfair' to be so suspicious BEFORE Muslims here actually 'do' anything.
I suppose it is much easier to be suspicious AFTER, but also pointless.
My standard reply is- I don't distrust and consider all Muslims my enemy. Only the breathing ones.
