 'Traitor' John Walker USA Bio-Attack 'In Days'

An American who fought for the Taliban has warned of a biological terror attack on the US in the next few days.

John Walker, captured after a prison uprising in Afghanistan, told US officials of the impending attack during intelligence briefings near Kandahar.

'Phase Two'

He said "Phase Two" of al Qaeda's war on America would occur at the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, The Washington Times reported. Ramadan ends on Sunday.

The third phase of al Qaeda's war would result in the total destruction of the United States - the first phase happened on September 11, it is claimed.

But officials have questioned the credibility of his claims because of his apparent low-level status within the Taliban, loosely linked with al Qaeda.

Treason

Walker, who was captured after al Qaeda and Taliban fighters revolted at a fort neat Mazar-e-Sharif, could be charged with treason.

The US Central Command has said he is being treated as an enemy prisoner of war.

He converted from Catholicism to Islam when he was 16, before making a pilgrimage to the Middle East and eventually volunteering to fight with the Afghan regime.

The FBI has issued several warnings of impending terrorist threats on America, putting law enforcement agencies on the highest possible state of alert.

Oh that Shep sure knows how to hype a story and scare the XXXX out of everyone. No one does a car chase better! No one!

I thought if he was found to be misleading [not cooperating with] the Government then he would go back up on charges.

[newsperson999]

I thought he didn't know anything and he was tricked into fighting with the taliban

[riri]

I hate to admit, I am a little confused? Where ya going with this?

[lainie]

I don't get it. This story is 10 months old?

[terilyn]

Shouldn't this be in breaking news?

[justshe]

What's the deal? Story is 10 months old.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Those who don't know history, are doomed to repeat it... over and over and over and over and over and...

rotfl...

[big bad easter bunny]

I think he has been out of the loop. Why even do 911 if you have some thing that can kill every body. Plus bio terrorism has one problem....sooner or later the virus will make it back to your country.

[justshe]

WE...are NOT amused!

[Enemy Of The State]

Oh no, the sky is falling, the sky is falling.

[Billthedrill]

The third phase of al Qaeda's war would result in the total destruction of the United States...

Now they tell me. If I'd known that a week ago I wouldn't have opted for a three-year subscription to Guns And Ammo. I bet they won't send me my money back when the country's a pit of desolation, either. Dang it, I'm always the last one to find out about this stuff...

"Officials have questioned the credibility of his claims because of his apparent low-level status within the Taliban"

What about his apparent low-level I.Q.?

[dgallo51]

riri- I posted this article because Shep Smith, while not mentioning the date of the news article, quoted it in tonight's Fox Report. I caught the show and immediately scoured the Fox News web site = 0. I then read a posting about it, and decided to ck the Sky News web site = 0. I then searched the Sky News site and found this article. I rib Shep Smith because he reported this as if Walker had just coughed this gem up. I am not a disenfranchised Fox News employee. I appreciate Fox's "fair & balanced" reporting, or at least their not qualifying every conservative position as "exteme" , "right wing" etc.

[dgallo51]

Yeah, he attended a terror camp but was put off because there was no boating or archery and no BIG MACs! He's been framed! He's just a confused kid who fell in with a bad crowd! Yeah sure…

[dgallo51]

Yeah, I know. That's the point! Shep Smith quoted it in tonight's show as if it was just coughed up by Jihad Johny. I posted a comment to riri explaining it in more detail.
