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.

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

They must learn to fear us, it's the only thing they understand.

Thanks. Looks like he only has a BS in nuclear physics. (My bad, I thought I heard him referred to as 'doctor.')

NO ONE is going to know what you're doing and I'm LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF!!!!

I know what Nicmarlo is doing! DORKS!! LOL!

"...They must learn to fear us, it's the only thing they understand..."

Short term, them fearing us is the right answer.

Long term, however, them fearing us is not enough.

Long term, their extinction should be our goal.

who, me?

[nicmarlo]

I won't tell anybody, either..............

BS, PhD, MA, they all get confusing....but, he does have a degree in engineering, too, I think. And his father was a doctor, I think I read (maybe that's where you got the doctor part from). In any event, Mr. Ijaz is very intelligent and articulate. His opinions seem sound and credible. I was, needless to say, quite impressed with my first and only view of him, in that short span of time the other night.

And thanks for posting this link. I hope someone on FR has archived this to add to the collection of Clinton atrocities.

"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.

Mansoor Ijaz seems like a straight shooter to me. His words, quoted above, got my attention. If the attack is in the form of biological agents there is not much we as citizens can do. I believe it is justifiable because it is war and a matter of life and death for us as citizens.

Every time there is a threat I would like to see our government wage an unrelenting attack against al Queda strongholds like the major one on the Afghan-Pakistani border southeast of Khabul. In this case I would recommend the use of biological agents against them in the remote areas where they are suspected of hiding.

If these attacks are as major as Ijaz believes them to be those of us who manage to survive will be living a life that is unimaginable by today's standards.

CORRECTION: I had added a sentence to the wrong paragraph. It's late and I'm tired.

Most of the refineries have beefed up security considerably in the past six months. The Cherry Pt refinery has gone so far as to shut down public roads around or through sections of the refinery. I would be surprised if there are any refineries in this area that have not made moves to tighten security.

Yes, but those of us who survive will be certain to exterminate ALL MUSLIMS that we encounter. Period.

Hmmmm.... how come I don't hear this kind of sermon at my church ? It's so full of hate and vitriol.

there=their I think...it is late.

Regarding these major upcoming attacks -- this is serious, there are intelligence reports, as Ijaz said.

There are also a few other articles, for those interested.
One from the UK Times, about the UK giving out a nuclear threat warning, then retracting it, so as not to scare people, not because the threat isn't real. The link to that is: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-474530,00.html

And a revealing, and I think mostly true, article at Debka. I know some of you don't care for it, but for those interested, I think it's worth reading: "The Nuclear Threat is Real"

http://www.debka.com/article.php?aid=196

"Now the bad news is out in the open: the British public has been told the truth, however inadvertently.

According to DEBKAfile’s counter- terror sources, potential alerts registered in the second week of November include:

--- Possible nuclear or chemical attacks in North American, West European and Middle East cities. The alert for London pinpoints The City, government offices, the Underground and the Thames River.

--- In pursuit of massive casualties, terrorists may resort to bomb cars or kamikaze pilots. Ships loaded with many tons of explosives of all types – some containing nuclear substances – may crash into Western harbors such as London, New York, Tel Aviv or Haifa."

I won't post it separately, but Debka has a couple of articles about our CURRENT battles in Iraq -- just go to their main page: http://www.debka.com/
