He looks like the perfect husband and doting father - but Dr. Mohammed Asha was on a secret al Qaeda terror mission in Britain that was carefully plotted years ago in Iraq, intelligence sources claimed yesterday.
New disclosures emerged about the alleged double life of the brilliant 26-year-old neurosurgeon who is a suspected ringleader of the London and Glasgow car-bomb sleeper cell.
Asha, born into a Palestinian family originally from the city of Hebron in the West Bank, was destined for a great medical career, scoring the third-highest mark on the University of Jordan's medical-school entrance exam.
In 2004, he graduated and married his grade-school sweetheart, Marwa Dana, a lab technician.
After getting a visa to continue his career in Britain, Asha seemed to impress everyone he met. In April, he received a standing ovation after making a presentation at the 150th meeting of the prestigious Society of British Neurological Surgeons.
On Saturday, his cover was ripped open after he and his wife were arrested on a British highway by a fleet of police cars in connection with three attempted car bombings.
British intelligence officials said the plot began at least three years ago, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, then head of al Qaeda in Iraq, ordered a top aide to recruit young men in the Mideast for an overseas mission, CBS News reported.
The recruits were enlisted by Zarqawi's sidekick, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, in 2004 and 2005, and chosen for their ability to get into Western countries.

So they'll start their search by questioning the white doctors.
Wait a minute! Doesn’t this mean that al Qaeda was in Iraqi before the war?! But, but, the libs said they weren’t there. The libs said Bush caused them to go to Iraq.
Bingo.
HUH!??

Seriously. Am I right? I mean, isn’t this a stake in the heart of that tired lib argument? Doesn’t this deserve more attention from that perspective?
Hopefully tan white doctors

These drs. could kill thousands with biological weapons. Scary.
How does a car arrest anyone I wonder.
They are called “winners” in war, excused for their cowardice, and their murder rationalized as response to “oppression”, “occupation”, and GWB made me do it.
They are heroes to the left, their media, Hollywood, and half the world.

The brits are now in a situation where they haveto separate the wheat from the chaff. Some of these Doctos they are arresting are probably innocent. That remains to be seen.
What would make a man and wife who have a beautiful child want to cause destruction and death to innocent people.
This man obviously is not stupid, If a man like this would kill innocents and pose as a moferate ,how many others are doing the same thing. I have said before there are no moderates,only those who havent yet killed. This case certainly bears that out.
When it come to Muslims they cannot be trusted, its part of their religion to lie and deceive.
Read the article. Based on the timing, it doesn't. If anything it supports the "Invading Iraq just turned it into a den of terrorists" argument.
One of the all-time best freeper lines.

Interesting article.
This says two things to me. One, he couldn't have been that brilliant if he got caught. And two, they are blending into our society to demolish it from within.
He was brilliant at being a doctor...a terrorist, not so much.
There, fixed it.
Of course you are correct. And it could drive a stake through the argument. And it does deserve more attention. However, in order to get this attention you have to be willing to fight. Our leaders either through ignorance, laziness, or cowardice won’t fight. And that is the real issue. One hopes that the leadership is keeping their powder dry but after 2006 I don’t think they have any powder. Have a great fourth. And recall what it took to birth this nation.
And Bush is at some mosque with his shoes off telling ROP folks that all is well. Meanwhile, the Koran tells them to kill all of us.
I thought all the terrorist cowards were poor oppressed Mooselips?? I thought evil Capitalism was causing terrorism?? How did this rich kid become a terrorist coward?

The CIA is at war with the President.
The Congress is, at best, mostly insane. Mostly.
Chertoff and his open-border crowd, and the MSM,
won't be happy until a dozen US cities are nuked.
FReepers, this is one of the most dangerous July 4ths I can remember.
I agree with you. My son who is brilliant and a doctor, is 29 and in his third year of a surgical residency. He hopes to be a neurosurgeon some day, after 8 - 10 more years of learning. This guy didn't have enough experience to be a first year intern. Is this what socialized medicine gets you?
You make a good point, except that the timeline doesn’t fit. The article says the plot was hatched in Iraq about 3 years ago after we were already in Iraq.
What we are witnessing here, is the decline of a once proud society....liberalism at work: fat, lazy, decline of academic standards, lack of discipline, use of drugs/alcohol, sexual narcissism....sound familiar??
Isn't 26 about the time he should have been graduating from med school?
In 2004, he graduated and married his grade-school sweetheart, Marwa Dana, a lab technician.
On their wedding night when he finally saw her without her burqua, did she look like he expected? Was he "man" enough to break her scars or did he cheat with a kitchen knife?
Is this what socialized medicine gets you?

I believe it is. Socialized medicine=lower wages - Foreigners, just doing the work Brits won’t do - anymore.
“These drs. could kill thousands with biological weapons. Scary.”
Shades of Clancy’s “Rainbow Six”.
If you want a double agent, consider this quote:
"At least one British-born official is being hunted, a source said, without disclosing where the search is centered."
That's the one that caught my eye...an 'official' of - what? Responsible for - what?
I think that historically the core of any fanatic movement is in the intelligentsia, the foot soldiers are peons expecting to benefit from the next series of leaders. But the islamists have done pretty well at recruiting middle class, successful, morons for suicide missions.
Scariest is that these people could have done far more damage without ever tipping their hand.
Condolences to the beautiful, innocent child of Marwa Dana and Mohammed Asha.
I'd like to volunteer to help with Ahmed's treatment.
“Sleeper Cells”; I wrote, maybe this plot was hatched a long time ago.
Also, with immigration, well; when someone applies for a green card and is a Doctor or Engineer; their value goes up; maybe this will be rethought as to whom should be allowed.
He couldn't have been too bright. He wasn't very good at making bombs.
“maybe this will be rethought as to whom should be allowed.”
Exactly!
If they belong to the cult of satan/Islam/muhammed nut job, etc. then they should be banned/arrested and jailed for life.
If they try to wear a burka in public, they should be arrested. As to the sympathy for the “poor child” of the demon doctor, he is guilty by heredity. He too may one day become an Islam radical.
allah akbar fumar blacktar!
And I would MUCH rather have your son perform neurosurgery on me than have this “neurosurgeon.”
(Congrat’s on your success as a parent!)
It says “at least” three years ago. Sorry, the “they were recruited since the war” just doesn’t make any sense. Just when they were at a point they could become leaders and be free to practice, worship, go as they please — they decide to give up their futures, families, and lives for a dumbass terror movement?
A 26 year old neurosurgeon? What, did he start college at age 10??
If they aren’t executed, they should be sterilized.
That is how Al-Qaeda gets in. They recruit valuable members
of our society. Most people on missions bring something of
value to the society they are going to. Unfortunately these
people value the targeting of innocent bystanders.
And I have friends who think “water-boarding” is torture.
I think in a lot of foreign countries, people go to medical school straight from high school. In the US, a 26 year old would maybe have med school and one year of residency behind him. A neurosurgery residency is often 7 years. I would say he may be brilliant, but he doesn’t have the training of a US doctor.
It’s long been known that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and al-Qaeda had been in Iraq since about 2002. Even the MSM will not deny this, but they won’t discuss it either. It’s been swept under the carpet. But no one can say that they were not there before the start of the war. Bush has been right from the start.
There is a new documentary done by the media wing of Al Qaeda terrorist group called "The Return to the Mountains" and it shows the establishment of Al Qaeda in Iraqi Kurdistan during the last 2 years of Saddam regime and with the full approval of Saddam regime.
According to information from an "a terrorist supporter internet site", there was a top Senior officer in Saddam army who was in charge of the ammunition depot and who had have strong relations with AL Qaeda long before the war started. It was this Saddam army officer who gave the ammunitions and the ammunitions depot locations to Al Qaeda after the fall of Saddam regime.
Also we know from the documents that I translated and published on FR that Saddam regime trained a lot of "Foreign Arabs non Iraqi Fedayeens" in Iraq since 1999 and Saddam issued a decree during the war to treat these "Arabs Fedayeens" with the same wages and benefits as members of the Iraqi special forces. The "Foreign Feedayeens" were for sure "Al Qaeda terrorists" who later on brought so much death and destruction on Iraq.
Another article that should be required reading.
Dreaming of the day his child can strap on a suicide vest and blow himself up, no doubt.
