Mansoor Ijaz: Major Al Qaeda Attacks Expected in Weeks
NewsMax.com ^ | 11/10/02 | Carl Limbacher and NewsMax.com Staff

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.

Reminds me of a scene from Swordfish taht I'd wish would become reality.

Stanley: War? Who are we at war with?
Gabriel: Anyone who impinges on America's freedom. Terrorist states, Stanley. Someone must bring their war to them. They bomb a church, we bomb 10. They hijack a plane, we take out an airport. They execute American tourist, we tactically nuke an entire city. Our job is to make terrorism so horrific that is becomes unthinkable to attack Americans.

I agree. We just calmly, without stating our intents, do it!

Yawn...

Where was InterPol & Mansoor on September 10, 2001?

Not that I doubt the Muslim hillbillies are gonna eventually attempt something but the melodrama is pretty apparent.

I've often thought that the unspoken message concerning Afghanistan and Iraq is, "you took out two of our buildings, so we'll take out two of your *countries*."

but also was complicit in both the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent anthrax "warnings."

It's my opinion that Iraq/Saddam was behind the highly refined, never been seen milled so fine anthrax. The reason, I believe, we haven't come out and said so is the proof is so thin and if we said it was them our stated policy on responding to WMD attacks with WMD attacks (all we have in nukes) would require us to Nuke Iraq.

To do it would be, to say the least, counter productive for middle east policy and to not do it and tell the world that we didn't back up our policy is to make the policy moot.

So we are going against Saddam another way and when the rest of the middle east sees Iraq flip to some form of Democracy they will become the 21st century version of the 80s Poland; the brick removed from the wall of tyranny in the middle east that starts to pull down the tyrants of the Arab world.

I believe if Iraq flips then Iran is next and then Jordan and the Emirates would eventually go and then maybe even Saudi Arabia and eventually Syria.

It's a dream but then again Reagan's dream came true.

That might be the message, but I think it's taking to long to be delivered.

Terrorists, like their fellow animals, require immediate chastisement when they do wrong. If you scold a dog after he's been laying on the couch for 15 minutes, he's not going to understand that you want him off the furniture. Similarly, the Islamikazies need to be slapped around hard and fast if they even try to pull something on us, so that they'll think twice about waking the giant in the future.

"He also predicted attacks on 11/9 (Saturday). Reverse of 9/11, get it? It's the numerology thing. I don't know how much credibility this guy has. Sometimes I think he's scamming FNC for a few "news consultant" bucks."

No Mansoor did not make that prediction. He was asked (by Fox) what he thought about the warning for 11-9 and that's when he said something about them liking special dates, numerology and etc. I actually like the guy.

No Mansoor did not make that prediction.

Thanks for clearing that up. I only just saw and heard him the first time the other night, and he seemed very credible to me. But when I read here that he made this prediction, it made me suspect of him.

**and he seemed very credible to me.**

I think he is very credible and has lots of information that he is not telling about the Middle East, Al-Qaeda, Iraq, etc.

Very reasonable analysis, Ern. Our only viable option is the one we're presently taking. Imo, our areas of concentration will be Iraq, then Iran, then No. Korea, and a 'domino effect' of democracy (throughout the Middle East, and possibly parts of Africa and SE Asia) will be the likely result of it.

This is why we need to attack Iraq. If we kill the leaders of countries supporting terrorism, then OTHER countries will put a stop to it FOR US- before the same thing happens to them...
