Al Zawahri Personally Ordered Al Qaeda To Murder US Ambassador Stevens

The US Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three staff members at the US consulate in Benghazi were deliberately murdered Tuesday night Sept 11 just after memorial ceremonies were held in America for the victims of the 9/11 outrage.

Counter-terror sources report exclusively that far from being a spontaneous raid by angry Islamists, it was a professionally executed terrorist operation by a professional Al Qaeda assassination team, whose 20 members acted under the orders of their leader Ayman al Zawahri after special training.

They were all Libyans, freed last year from prisons where they were serving sentences for terrorism passed during the late Muammar Qaddafi’s rule.

In a video tape released a few hours before the attack, Zawahri called on the faithful to take revenge on the United States for liquidating one of the organization’s top operatives, Libyan-born Abu Yahya al-Libi in June by a US drone in northwestern Pakistan.

Its release was the “go” signal for the hit team to attack the US diplomats in Benghazi.

To mask their mission, they stormed the consulate on the back of a violent protest by hundreds of Islamists against a film said to insult Prophet Muhammed produced by a Florida real estate agent called Sam Bacile, who has been described as of Israeli origin.

The operation is rated by terror experts as the most ambitious outrage al Qaeda has pulled off in the last decade. According to our sources, the gunmen split into two groups of 10 each and struck in two stages:

1. They first fired rockets at the consulate building on the assumption that the ambassador’s bodyguards would grab him, race him out of the building and drive him to a safe place under the protection of the US secret service

2. The second group was able to identify the getaway vehicle and the ambassador’s armed escort and lay in wait to ambush them. The gunmen then closed in and killed the ambassador and his bodyguards at point blank range. Intelligence sources report that the investigation launched by US counter-terror and clandestine services is focusing on finding out why no clue was picked up of the coming attack by any intelligence body and how al Qaeda’s preparations for the attack which took place inside Libya went unnoticed by any surveillance authority.

A contingent of marines locked and loaded with grenade launchers and a couple of Lauds would have put that attack down in about 2 minutes.

"Be nice to have some confirmation"

This same story is being reported by CNN and MSNBC.

The CNN story that came out at noon today names the Omar Abdul Rahman Brigades as the group that did it.

Do a google of Yahya al Libi.

A hopeless task.
If only 130,000,000 koranimals are dedicated killers, they have a support community worldwide of most of the remaining 1,900,000,000.

Sooner, rather than later, the free world must rise up without mercy, without hesitation, and without doubt. One more time, cut the cancer of civilization out, hopefully this time forever.

Vienna wasn't enough; Lepanto wasn't enough.

If this is true, then when does the new War on Terror start? Oh that’s right, muslims/Islamists aren’t terrorists are they? /sarcasm off

WE have a similar problem with Gitmo -- release a few and they end up on another battlefield somewhere killing OUR troops and contractors.

They were bad enough that even Qaddafi has them in prison. But Liberals never learn. They think they can rehabilitate and release and all will be right with the world.
