Newsflash: Saudi Arabia funds al Qaeda

Actually, this is a newsflash to me.  I was one of those people who thought that the Saudis, the ones who run the official stuff anyway, despised al Qaeda too and wanted to be rid of them.  No, they are the biggest funder of al Qaeda.  What?  That wasn't in the latest WikiLeaks classified document dump?  Actually, it was an announcement by the Bush administration in 2008Jihad Watch had the story in 2004.  The only reason I looked it up today is because Rush Limbaugh said, near the top of his show today, that this 'news' was in the Wikidump.  I couldn't find an article about it, found the two linked to above instead.

I don't think being armed with this information will help when I am pestered by people who insist that it is "the Jews."  Stock answer from them: "You can't believe our government, the Jews run that too, just like the press."

Different Saudi story coming up that relates to my books.

Washington, DC News Roundup: Pentagon Shot,.USMC Museum Shot, Brick Throwing Muslim, Palestinian-American Army Trial, and more!

One story to link them all: Terror threat to restaurants as Al Qaeda calls for attacks on government workers in D.C.

Pentagon Struck by Gunfire (19 October 2010)
ARLINGTON, Va. -- Pentagon officials say that gunfire hit the Pentagon Tuesday morning and are investigating parts of adjacent I-395 that face the south entrance. An 11:30am press briefing is scheduled with the Pentagon Force Protection Agency.
At 4:55 am the Pentagon received reports of "shots fired" and closed off access to the entire building. Officials conducted two sweeps of the area, according to Col. David Lapan, Pentagon spokesman. The building was reopened at 5:40am.
Some news outlets report that two shots hit the building.  One on the third floor and one on the fifth.

US Marine Corps Museum Hit by Gunfire (18 October 2010)
Investigators are looking for the person or people who opened fire on the United States Marine Corps Heritage Museum over the weekend, causing $20,000 in damage.
No one was hurt. The museum was empty at the time.
The museum, shaped to evoke the famous flag-raising on Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima, was struck by several bullets, which penetrated upper-floor windows. Investigators counted five bullet holes in the glass.
The museum is located off I-95, situated on a 135-acre site adjacent to Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, and under the command of Marine Corps University.

Muslim Man,  Armed With Bricks and Breaking Windows,  Dies After Struggle.  Those Who Apprehended Him Charged With Assault.

Palestinian-American, Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan's Article 32 Investigation Continues.  Followup to earlier story about the devout follower of New Mexico's very own Anwar Al-Awlaki.

The Christian Science Monitor piece gives some insight into the politically correct environment that lead to the destruction of some video evidence of Hasan's terrorist acts:
But even as the trial may be short on Hasan's reasoning, two video accounts of the massacre that may have shown Hasan's demeanor during the shooting will not be seen and judged by the jury or the American public. One soldier testified Friday that a non-commissioned officer ordered him to erase two cellphone videos of the attack. While a "mystifying" and possibly illegal request, says Rosen, he hypothesized that it could have been intended to protect the privacy of Hasan's victims.
But some critics saw the order as evidence that the government, including the Army, is more concerned about protecting Muslims from backlash from angry Americans than revealing the truth behind how modern jihadi terrorism works. They point to the lack of words like "jihad" or "Muslim" in the Pentagon's official report on the Fort Hood massacre as proof that what they see as watered-down assumptions and hedged judgments about the Islamic threat to the US are hurting, not helping, national security.
"This rush to remove from our enemy's actions any suggestion of a possible Islamic religious motive reflects this administration's unwillingness to name our Islamist adversaries," writes a blogger at PipeLineNews, a consortium of conservative investigative journalists. "This is a critically serious threat to national security in that it places blinders on a defense establishment whose job it is to prevent further attacks."
Still, it is a good thing that MAJ Hasan is being tried in a military court, rather than in a New Mexico, San Francisco or Manhattan criminal court.

Washington, DC: Featured City in 'Inspire' Magazine, followed by Bar Attack

Washington, DC is again in the spotlight as a "must hit" destination in yet another publication, Inspire, the glossy face of the Al Qaeda network.  The fall edition also features 'inspirational' words from US Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan's personal imam, New Mexico's very own Anwar al-Awlaki.

Terror threat to restaurants as Al Qaeda calls for attacks on government workers in D.C.:
"WASHINGTON - The terror group tied to the Ft. Hood killings and the Christmas Day undies airbomber urge wannabe American jihadis to open fire on crowded restaurants in the nation's capital to massacre U.S. government workers.

The advice appears in 'Inspire,' the latest issue of a slick propaganda publication by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Osama Bin Laden's franchise in Yemen.

'A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C., at lunch hour might end up knocking out a few government employees,' Yahya Ibrahim writes in the 74-page jihadi how-to magazine.

'Targeting such employees is paramount and the location would also give the operation additional media attention,' Ibrahim added."
Palestinian rock thrower for illustration purposes only.
Following the fanfare of the Islamic answer to Mother Jones, Tap and the Anarchist's Cookbook, all rolled into one, Ali Ahmed Mohammed decided to make some news of his own by throwing a brick through the window of DC9, a nightclub in Northwest Washington, DC after being denied entry when a concert was ending.

Nightclub owner, 4 others charged in beating

WASHINGTON (AP) — A nightclub owner and four employees have been charged with beating a man to death after he threw a brick through the club's window, in a case of what D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier called "vigilante justice."

Ali Ahmed Mohammed, 27, of Silver Spring, Md., was denied entry to the DC9 nightclub along the U Street corridor around 2:30 a.m. Friday, Lanier said, but he returned to throw a brick through the window.

That's when the club owner and four employees chased Mohammed down the block, then tackled and beat him, police said. When officers arrived, all five men were still on the scene and Mohammed was in critical condition, Lanier said. He was taken to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
*****
DC9 manager KT Robeson told TBD that he saw the men chase Mohammed and subdue him, but not in a violent way.
"Who beats someone up and then calls the cops?" Robeson asked. "That's ridiculous."
Other representatives of the club declined further comment.
NBC affiliate coverage broadcast a relative of the 27 year old Silver Spring, Maryland man asking why someone his age had to die.  I will ask, why does someone his age throw bricks through windows of nightclubs?  He was reported to be a Howard University student.  No major media source has made a connection between Inspire magazine and Ali Ahmed Mohammed, nor have they mentioned his religious leanings.

The DC Chief of Police called the incident "vigilante justice".

Major al-Qaeda bombing plot unearthed in Canada; two arrested

Major al-Qaeda bombing plot unearthed in Canada; two arrested - World - DNA:
"The arrests were enforced by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) after carrying out searches of two residences on the Ottawa's west side and officers said they were executing more searches and would carry out more arrests.

The arrest of Misbahuddin and Ehsan Ahmed came after police had kept them under surveillance for over two years in a project codenamed 'Operation Samosa'.

Though the RCMP released no names or identities of the suspects, but sources confirmed their names as Misbahuddin and Ehsan.

They said Misbahuddin Ahmed, who was categorised as ringleader, is believed to have been trained in Pakistan and Afghanistan and investigations involved a 'bomb plot'.

'These guys were doing more than just talking about terrorism. They were planning it,' a police source was quoted as saying by the Vancouver Sun newspaper." . . .
This is the second major terror plot to be unearthed in Canada since 9/11. In June 2006, a group of young Muslim men dubbed as 'Toronto 18' were rounded up and prosecuted for planning to attack downtown targets and a military base. 
Suki series tie-in: In the 2030's Iran is behind most of this and the world goes to war with them in Suki IV: Finally A Vacation.

Terrorist Act Last Friday


Federal authorities say a Nigerian passenger on an Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight tried to blow up the airliner, which landed safely. The would-be bomber is injured.

Too bad the jerk is not dead.  Maybe he was just 'stressed out' like that Army Major at Fort Hood last month?


Plane incident called an act of terrorism




The suspected would-be bomber suffered burns as the result of his attempt, and two of the other 277 passengers reported minor injuries, authorities said. FBI agents were investigating the incident, which a White House official said was believed to be terrorism.




"He was trying to ignite some kind of incendiary device," said a federal anti-terrorism official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case. "He lit himself on fire and he's suffered some burns."

Maybe it was all the pressure of a failed Jihad?  Could have just had a bad day.  Yea, right.


President Obama was briefed on the Christmas Day incident during his Hawaii vacation and was receiving regular updates.
Oh, thank GOD we are safe now!  Briefing to Hamas, just to be fair, to follow.


Update 12/27/09: He had PETN hidden in his underwear.

Way To Go TSA

Thanks TSA, why didn't you just send your 93 page security screening manual straight to al Qaeda, Hamas, the Neo-Nazis, the IRA, and every stupid terrorist group out there?

A redacted U.S. Transportation Security Administration manual posted online inadvertently revealed agency secrets regarding airport passenger screening practices, The Washington Post reported.

The breach made the TSA's most sensitive screening practices public. Altogether, the 93-page TSA screening manual revealed how TSA employees should do their jobs, including how bags are checked for explosives, who should be screened, and how to deal with CIA agents.
