Brian Ross Reports:
Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.
Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9.
A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.

The tape shows Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah, whose brother was killed by the U.S. last month, introducing and congratulating each team as they stood.
“These Americans, Canadians, British and Germans come here to Afghanistan from faraway places,” Dadullah says on the tape. “Why shouldn’t we go after them?”
The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English.
“So let me say something about why we are going, along with my team, for a suicide attack in Britain,” he said. “Whether my colleagues, companions and Muslim brothers die today or tonight, every drop of our blood will invigorate the Muslim (unintelligible).”

U.S. intelligence officials described the event as another example of “an aggressive and sophisticated propaganda campaign.”
Others take it very seriously.
“It doesn’t take too many who are willing to actually do it and be able to slip through the net and get into the United States or England and cause a lot of damage,” said ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism official.
Hi Mossad, long time no read.
I think this is mostly propaganda. The Taliban have been getting their rear ends kicked and have had recruitment problems. Not to dismiss that there is a strong probability that terror cells are already set up in these countries preparing for an attack. If these greenhorns come bounding in, it is likely that they will be easier to detect than those already here and under deep cover.
But then again, according to current congressional leadership, there is no longer a need for a war on terrorism (/sarc)
Thank you Mossad 1967.
Howdy my FRiend,,,Long Time No See’Um,,,34 day war,,,
Be Safe...
Hey Mossad1967! Long time, no see. You get my various freepmails?
Unless they decide to send all 300 here at once to detonate simultaneously, I don't see it happening here. They'd lose too much face because it wouldn't top Sept 11th. The next one has to be much bigger than 911 to make a truly global statement. I could see the suicide bombers in London, though.

Well there's English and there's ENGLISH. What flies as not "suspicious" in London-istan might not play too well in L.A. That's LOWER ALABAMA!
