Al Qaeda Coming To The Americas

Published by at 9:54 am under All General Discussions,Bin Laden/GWOT

More evidence al Qaeda is preparing to lash out at the West (from Spain):

This federation of armed and pro-Jihad groups, which accept Bin Laden as their leader but act independently, is attacking or preparing attacks on several fronts.

The latest surprise was by a Saudi organisation linked to Al Qaeda, as it called to target oil suppliers in Mexico, Canada and Venezuela to hinder the supply of oil into the United States. They say, and they aren’t wrong, that without oil the United States wouldn’t be able to continue with the war on Iraq.

This is the first time Al Qaeda talks about extending its operations to Latin America. Nevertheless, it has already started to act against Iran. Although it may look strange, Iranian Ayatollahs’ regime and Bin Laden’s followers are not friends. In the Iranian area of Baluchestan, at the border with Pakistan and Afghanistan, an Al Qaeda-linked group killed 11 members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard two days ago.

In turn, Al Qaeda took root in Africa a long time ago, and it is becoming more and more active. To the training camps the group had in Sudan and Somalia, it added those in the deserted area of Mali, Niger, Algeria and Mauritania. And, a few months ago, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat of Algeria recognised Bin Laden as its emir, and became part of Al Qaeda’s federation.

The number of attacks has not increased in Algeria by chance. Within the last few days, several bombs went off and caused six deaths. This news is very worrying for Europe, as the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat has had militant infiltrators in several European countries for a long time.

Will the Dems surrender Africa, South America, and Canada as well when the fighting erupts and gets a little tough? Will they call it Bush’s war because al Qaeda is making good on its claims it made public during the Clinton administration? This is a generational war – not some TV mini-series.

    Too funny. Too hubristic, AJ. I’m sending this to Mike Scheuer. When did we take deed to these properties?

    Lassoo – So far, you’ve convinced me that you and your anti-war friends are a bunch of losers.

  3. dennisa says:

    Would that be the Michael Scheuer who said Bill Clinton had 10 chances to get bin Laden, and screwed them all up?

    CNN has a breaking story:

    BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) — The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq has been wounded and his top aide killed in a clash with police, an Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman told CNN Thursday.

    The spokesman said Iraqi police encountered an insurgent group on the road between Falluja and Samarra and, in a firefight, wounded Abu Ayyub al-Masri.

    Abu Abdullah al-Majamiai, al-Masri’s top aide, was killed, he said.

    The spokesman said Iraqi police have the body of al-Majamiai and would not comment on the whereabouts of al-Masri.

    The U.S. military had no comment on the report.

    Al-Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, is an Egyptian who took over the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq in June after the death of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

    Iraqi Interior Minister Muwaffak al-Rubaie estimated in October 2006 that al-Masri had been involved in making more than 2,000 car bombs that killed more than 6,000 Iraqis in the past two years.

    The left would/will surrender the US in a heart beat…

    Zero backbone!

  6. lassoingtruth says:

    We are surrendering the Southwest to Mexico right now,
    and will hasten the process with the Strata/Bush “defend
    South America, Africa and Canada,” & offer criminals
    guest worker certificates policy.

  7. Soothsayer says:

    The left would/will surrender the US in a heart beat…

    The Left: John Kerry, Jim Webb, John Murtha, Chuck Hagel . . . all decoreated war vets

    The Right: George Bush & Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and Dougie feith . . . draft dodging cowards. They’ll protect America all right – with someone else’s blood.

  8. lassoingtruth says:

    Interesting, though , that Scott Ritter, Anthony Zinni, Richard Clarke,
    Chuch Hagel, Walter Jones, Jim Webb, Ray McGovern, to name a few of this site’s favorite “enemies of America,” have all previously identified themselves as “conservatives,” and most as “conservative
    Republicans.” Yet Strata and his sheep automatically designated
    them as leftists as soon as they discovered they were against the war.

    Of course from a conservative perspective, ill-founded warmongering is hardly a way of advancing a broad conservative agenda. Kind of has a re-bound effect with many fence-sitting
    voters who will vote many an otherwise opposed liberal in to avoid among other things, losing friends and family unnecessarily.
