...and an Al Qaeda operative who has supplied cash to terrorists-in-transit named Mustafa Ahmed al-Hisawi.

Ireland...this surprises me a bit.

Ireland...this surprises me a bit.

I believe the IRA may be doing a little consulting work on the side. I think I read an article a while back about the IRA training Columbians, and I think it mentioned the Arab terrorists as other "clients" of theirs. I'm working from memory here, so maybe not reliable; but, I think that the do train other terrorists.

However, there was an article on FR around New Years concerning the "multicultural" nature of Ireland now. They mentioned mosques in that article and I really got a sinking feeling about it. I don't know why having Islamists in Ireland gave me a very negative feeling; but, it did. I suppose a lot of the immigration into Ireland happened during the time Mary Robinson held elective office.

Mustafa McGillaguddy and Zacarias O'Moussaoui are the world's first and only leprechauns.

They always have used their mosques as places to organise terrorist activities in ANY country where they are NOT the majority....I think the USA should be checking out mosques here in the USA.

Nick Ashton, my mentor -- SSAF -- has talked about this for some time. After 30 years of experience, the IRA has great expertise in destruction and has shared it with bad guys around the world.

the IRA has great expertise in destruction and has shared it with bad guys around the world.

And one of the hardest detection chores is when they (IRA)take on a subcontract for a terrorist job from the planning perps of another murderous group.

The IRA are a bunch of *hores that would sell their own mothers for a buck. I heard a very creepy story about the hijacker-murderers getting visas to this country through Ireland. An Irish government official was "facing charges" in connection with the visa scheme. If true, it would explain why nobody paid too much attention to them. It is very, very creepy and scary. This was told to me by someone who read the story in an Irish newspaper. Needless to say, the story was buried in the back. How many more terrorist murderers are lurking here, thanks to screwy Irish immigration laws?

Ireland has a very insiduous anti-American sentiment, like most of Europe. I will never set foot out of our country again.

Al-Qaeda, the IRA and ETA

There was a pre-911 incident, I think in August 2001, where some IRA operatives were nabbed in Latin America- they allegedly had a plan to put anthrax into cocaine.
