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.

Thanks for the link; bump for later read.

I doubt Muslims would believe terrorists would attack them; this is against their faith, unless, of course, the Muslims being attacked have shown to the terrorists that they have "betrayed" Allah.......(obviously, something they could "prove" by Muslim nations siding with the U.S. OTOH, these nations could also send signals to terrorists they they really aren't siding with US with willingness, but out of fear.) We'd be blamed, anyways, I think.

Nuking Mecca is a pretty radical solution, but it may not seem so radical after the next wave of attacks. I'm not sure that any form of deterrent threat will work against radical Islamists; they WANT to die for Jihad. We've finally accepted the un-PC reality that we have to preemptively kill all the fleas on the dog, but eventually we'll have to deal with the carpet and the lawn, too.

Brilliant. I hadn't thought of that. They say the terrorists plan years in advance, suppose someone was saying just that. This is next? Yikes. Freepers, we should probably start paying attention to the mail again.
