Mansoor Ijaz: Major Al Qaeda Attacks Expected in Weeks

A Pakistani-American businessman who helped negotiate a deal turned down by the Clinton administration for Osama bin Laden's extradition to the U.S. said late Saturday that the terror chief's al Qaeda network is planning to launch major attacks on the U.S. and two other countries by the end of the month.

Asked about a report by Interpol this week that warned: "All intelligence experts are agreed that al Qaeda is preparing a major terrorist operation," Mansoor Ijaz told Fox News Channel's "Foxwire," "Within the next two to three weeks I think we're going to be looking at something pretty tough."

"We should be worried," Ijaz told "Foxwire" host Rita Cosby. "This is almost identical to the information I have.... I've been told there's going to be three simultaneous attacks; it will be three different continents."

Ijaz said the the U.S. and United Kingdom would be "primary targets," while the Far East or India would likely be the third target.

Al Qaeda don't just conveniently (for us) hang out in large numbers in terrorist camps anymore. If they were all in one place, or even just just a few places, they'd be dust by now.

Iranian and Iraqi army, air force and naval bases for openers.

Forget the term "terrorism." This is guerilla war with the acts of terrorism as one of its elements. No guerilla war can succeed without the support of a foreign nation-state.

Make Iran and Iraq spend their $ on their own defense and they will have no $ to support attacks on us.

Finally, if Islamic clerics don't control their own, make the Kabala stone into the Kabala pebbles.

That's right. That's why we are bombing in Afghanistan as we speak...

Personally, I'd use a nuke on each crowd of one. That will make it difficult for them to get anyone to give them aid and comfort.

"...Tactical nukes on whom?..."

Travis got it right...

Mecca.

After that Medina.

But tactical nukes would be a mistake. Big, mile wide crater, ground pounding strategic snake medicine would be better.

An important part of Terrorism is creating terror. Once terrorists have attacked the threats of terror work almost as well as a terrorist act.

The rule of terrorism is to first attack then follow with lots of threats of attacks. After an unexpected real attack comes threats of attacks followed by a real attack and then repeat.

They have every reason to not announce the real attacks and contantly announce fake attacks.

Agreed. The Saddam/bin Laden connection has be downplayed, but (imo) the former was not only responsible for harboring al-Qaeda, but also was complicit in both the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent anthrax "warnings." He (and Iraq) be the first to pay the price, but others are waiting their turn.
