DJ Al-Qaida Man Claims To Have Seen Sniper Training

[FreeReign]

Did this Al-Qaeda guy create this story before or after this story broke front page news. This Sniper story has been all over the World. He could have read this. I won't believe this until we have solid proof that this sniper is Al-Qaeda. They are notorious liars.

I agree.

Would Ali Mohamed, who spent so much time at Ft. Bragg and who was largely responsible for developing the al Qaeda training program, have gone through sniper training in the U.S.?

Interesting possibility!

I would say they sniper(s) was planning on 11 deaths..

If they were planning on 11 deaths, do you think that 11 could indicate November--11th month...for another major hit? You never know what these nutcases are thinking and planning, but put nothing past them..Plus, there's been another warning issued by the govt re another one..

"At least one member of al-Qaida now in custody has told U.S. investigators he witnessed training by three man sniper squads practicing to launch attacks on U.S. soil, ABC News reported Thursday."

Why should I beleive him? In custody. Basically a prisoner who hates the U.S. otherwise it's unlikely that he'd be in custody if not considered dangerous. Loooks like he's trying to grab credit for his evil cause.

My point....just that those 3-4 who were recently picked up in Oregon, were originally found by a couple who couldn't figure out what all the noise (high powered rifles) were near their home in a somewhat remote place.....I am NOT indicting law abiding, NRA card carrying Americans....just wondering what these Islamics were doing .....hiding, what they were doing, from their Portland neighbors - some of whom they told something along the lines "America deserved 9-11." From that "notification" on, they were followed, and ultimately tied to enough that they were arrested....did you not hear all this?

[spycatcher]

Yeah that's the one

[agrandis]

I wonder... Not sure who to believe anymore these days. Did seem a little odd that he'd get OUT of the van, though.

Three-man al Qaeda sniper teams, hmmm.

Just in time for Holloween, Election Day and the Christmas Shoping Season.

But wait, Islam meens Peace they wouldn't do anything bad would they? /sarcasm

[willyone]

Nine dead, eleven shot. Lets get real crazy and say it is a play on 9/11.

[Travis McGee]

Nothing magic about the number 3, but teams do help in many ways. The shooter may drive around and arrive in a vehicle with no weapon at all, and get the rifle shortly before the attack off site. Another vehicle is useful for doing pre attack recon, then calling via cell phone to the shooter and driver. The recon vehicle can be used for a cutoff car to block pursuit. Other vehicles can be prepositioned for switching. The variations are extensive.

[eastcoast81]

yeah you may be right, but the attacks are falling under odd times not to be a terrorist attack, Bali, Kuwait, Yemen, VA/MD/DC

It all fits together.

Not sure off the top of my head if we are talking about the same guy, but one of the traitors from WTC-1 used to train special op troops, IIRC. He certainly would have some knowlege of sniper tactics.

I have to go out for a bit, but will check my notes when I return.

[Lion's Cub]

According to this http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/alimo.htm, he was only a supply sergeant assigned to Special Forces.

Nonetheless, I still think I read somewhere that he actually trained special forces...

Wasn't the head of the al Qaeda cell that was planning to blow up the U.S. embassy in Paris trained in the al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan?

I don't know.

[harpseal]

There were stories of Al qaeda training sniper teams in November of last year. During the Afghan war against the Soviets sniper teams were commonly used against Soviet troops. Chechen and Albanian sniper teams have been used.

The above facts do not make the DC sniper an Al Qaeda operative but they do not make the DC Sniper a lone nut either.

Stay well _ Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

[areafiftyone]

When it is confirmed by the Gitmo guys then I will believe it is Al-Qaeda. They don't have access to Newspapers or radio and they wouldn't know anything about this story. If they say that they trained or knew that Al-Qaeda was planning sniper attacks then I will believe it was Al-Qaeda. You are right it could be a lone Muslim with his own agenda for Jihad.

NO! I haven't heard anything about any of that. I've been working 12-13 hour days but it seems as though I should have heard something!
