Ahhhh you shame me, mi'lady. I inhabit the environs of Miami-Dade County; that bastion of liberalism. Also known as New York south. Worse, I work in a system positively INFESTED with the worst sort of liberal democrat...the kind that aim to shape and mold young minds with their "AGENDA."

I have spent the last fifteen years of my life fighting to show those same young minds the other side of the AGENDA without running my own agenda. A tricky act. Sometimes I feel very much alone. That's why I'm a freeper. Lord Almighty, I can't wait to move from this soul killer of a town! Just another few years for the wife to retire. Then we're gone.

From my own records searching, I would doubt that their Mohamad Almasri is 57. I would believe roughly age 40.

And there are a couple names that are suspicious to me...

Including one who has or had an address in Fort Smith AR
...middle name: OUSAMA!

And another where I think I see a possible connection with that Islamic postal worker they arrested from Staten Island... (and NO, I don't mean the one's from NewYork). Does anyone remember, or can anyone find that guy's name from Staten Island?

Here's MY 'persons of interest' list...
MOHAMMAD H ALMASRI DOWNERS GROVE IL age 39
MOHAMAD DAIFALLAH ALMASRI FORT LAUDERDALE FL age 40
MOHAMAD OUSAMA ALMASRI FORT SMITH AR age 38
MOHAMAD ALMASRI YOUNGSTOWN OH age 37
MOHAMAD ALMASRI DEARBORN MI age 37
MOHAMAD DIAEDDIN ALMASRI DEARBORN MI age 43
MAHMOUD ALMASRI MINEOLA NY (age unknown)
MOHAMAD ALMASRI NEW YORK NY (age unknown)
MOHAMAD ALMASRI HOUSTON TX age 46

Not to far from Boca Raton, site of the AMI attack.

It was NO surprise that the AMI attack was in Boca, as it has a VERY large Jewish population,, as does Palm Beach County in general.

ok, I found the other name...
AHMED SATTAR was the Staten Island postal worker that that I thought had a 'connection' to this MOHAMAD ALMASRI.

At the time Sattar was arrested, I did some searching, and it seemed to me that Sattar may have been bankrolling Islamic safe-houses. It seemed like he had numerous residences and telephone numbers in his name. Sometimes multiple phones even at the same address. It just seemed too odd. And I remembered one of his apparent addresses being near Chicago.

When I heard Almasri's name, I checked public records and found that he too seemed to possibly have multiple residences with one of them being near Chicago. (Coincidence #1)

There is more public info out now about Sattar than there was when I first looked him up... and that leads me to (Coincidence #2)... That date: September 9th 2001, when Almasri fled Florida is the same day that General Massoud was assassinated in Afghanistan.

And Satar had connections to the assassins of Massoud.

It is my bet that Almasri was also connected to that murder, and could be the reason the FBI is searching his place in Florida. (I just don't believe in coincidences)

This from Middle East Times

...U.S. authorities believe that Ahmed Abdel Sattar, 42, helped write a letter of introduction for two men who posed as journalists to kill General Ahmed Shah Massoud in northern Afghanistan last fall, the Post said.

Sattar, an Egyptian-born U.S. citizen, has not been charged in Massoud's murder, which took place on 9 September 2001. But a conversation in the summer of 2001 about the letter surfaced during a wiretap involving Sattar, who is charged with serving as a communications center for an Egyptian terrorist group...

I don't know how well this photo will 'post' but it is the mapquest aerial photo of the Mohamad Almasri home at 1606 Doral Drive, West Palm Beach. The neighborhood consists of fairly-new well-off family homes with groups of about 80 lots ringed with what looks like man-made channels of water.

FBI searches Saudi family's former home

By Scott McCabe and Eliot Kleinberg, Palm Beach Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, January 22, 2003

GREENACRES -- FBI agents Tuesday night searched the former home of a Saudi family who a neighbor said had enrolled an adult son in a nearby flight training school and had left "in a hurry" two days before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Neighbors and state records identified the head of the family as Mohamad Almasri, 57. According to state records, others who lived at the house in the upscale neighborhood near Jog Road and Forest Hill Boulevard were Madawi Almasri, 26, Turki Ma Almasri, 22, and Afaf I. Arif, 47.

Neighbors said Almasri lived at the home with his wife, a son and daughter in their late teens or early twenties, and a younger son and daughter.

Several agents, some in white biohazard suits, arrived Tuesday afternoon at the home at 1606 Doral Drive in Fairway Isles, a gated community, neighbors said. Into the night, agents went in and out of the home, carrying plastic and paper bags, and dug up parts of the front yard. Neighbors said they saw the agents carrying what appeared to be metal detectors. A large pickup hauling a large metal trailer was backed up to the front door.

Miami FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said Tuesday night that the agents were acting on a search warrant. She would not say what they were looking for or might have found or whether there was any link to the ongoing national terrorism investigations. At least 12 of the 19 terrorists who hijacked jets on Sept. 11 had addresses showing they once lived in Palm Beach County.

Lisa Dickerson said she watched Mohamad Almasri hustle his family into their car on Sept. 9, 2001. She said that a few days after the attacks, when news reports began focusing on possible connections between the terrorists and the nearby Lantana airport, she called a special national FBI hot line.

"It was just the way he put them in," Dickerson said. "It happened so fast."

Neighbors milled Tuesday night behind yellow crime scene tape that stretched in front of the home and across Doral Drive to the front yard of Rodney Lamarca. Lamarca said Almasri told him he was an engineer. Lamarca said the FBI had searched the home about two weeks ago. He did not know whether that had been the agency's first visit.

"Now they are back like gangbusters," Lamarca said. "They must have found something."

Lamarca said homeowner association president Dave Remsen told him FBI agents had said they removed a computer and disks. Remsen told him FBI agents said the family packed up so quickly that food was left on the table. Lamarca said last week he saw the FBI use tools to unlock a car that had been sitting in the garage.

"I didn't know it was there," Lamarca said.

Martha Ruth, Dickerson's mother, said she was told the couple's son, Turki, 22, was attending one of the three flight schools at the nearby Lantana airport.

Palm Beach Flight Training owner Marian Smith said Turki had not trained there. Kemper Aviation manager David Allison said he would not have access to records until the morning. Officials at Chandelle Aviation said they would check Tuesday night but did not call back.

Owen Gassaway, Jr., who runs the commercial operation at the airport, said he keeps photographs and names of all suspected terrorists that the FBI has asked airports and flight schools to monitor. He said he checked them Tuesday night and "nothing matched."



...The 'thing' that happened on September 9, 2001 that would spook someone involved, was the successful assassination of the democracy-leaning General Massoud in Afghanistan. We know now this was with the help from some Arabs within the USA.

...Also see Ahmed Abdel Sattar, the Staten Island postal worker, who was arrested for his involvement in the assassination of that date.

See #147, 153, 155.

Note: Satter was the "postman" charged with acting as a surrogate for Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman since the 93 Trade Center bombing. The two most extensive articles I have on him are
