Wisconsin Man Sentenced to Life for Killing 5 Family Members for Not Converting to Islam

05/05/2011 Leave a comment

“A man who was angry that his family would not go along with his conversion to Islam was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in the slayings of his mother, pregnant wife, infant son and two nieces in a rampage last year on the South Side.

James A. Larry, 33, of Madison, Wis., pleaded guilty last month to multiple counts of murder, attempted murder and the intentional homicide of an unborn child…

Prosecutors said Larry came to Chicago in April 2010 bent on slaughtering his relatives at the home in the Marquette Park neighborhood. He had converted to Islam while serving a prison sentence in Wisconsin for a weapons conviction.

‘He was upset at his wife and their family — he felt disrespected that they would not join his religion,’ Assistant State’s Attorney Jim McKay said. ‘It didn’t matter if they were young or old, pregnant or not. He wanted them dead.'”  Read more.

The Shape of Bin Laden’s Compound: Strange Coincidence, or Hidden Message?

05/05/2011 Leave a comment

BY MARC TRACY – “Here is an Osama Bin Laden-related theory much more fun (and, technically, much more plausible) than the ones floating about how he’s not actually dead. The Jewish French Website JSSNews took a look at Bin Laden’s custom-built compound in Abbotabad, Pakistan, and noted not only a startling resemblance in shape to historical Palestine—that is, Israel and the Palestinian territories—but that, if you do take the shape of the acre-sized compound to be such a map, the house itself, where bin Laden lived on the third floor for years, is at Jerusalem. The difference being that, here, all of the land has a wall around it.”  Read more.

Interesting, but I wouldn’t say that the house itself where Bin Laden lived is where Jerusalem would be.  Looks to be much closer to the Dead Sea to me …

Hezbollah Setting Up Operations Near Mexico Border

05/05/2011 Leave a comment

“SAN DIEGO — A terrorist organization whose home base is in the Middle East has established another home base across the border in Mexico.

‘They are recognized by many experts as the ‘A’ team of Muslim terrorist organizations,’ a former U.S. intelligence agent told 10News.

The former agent, referring to Shi’a Muslim terrorist group Hezbollah, added, ‘They certainly have had successes in big-ticket bombings.’

Some of the group’s bombings include the U.S. embassy in Beirut and Israeli embassy in Argentina.

However, the group is now active much closer to San Diego.

‘We are looking at 15 or 20 years that Hezbollah has been setting up shop in Mexico,’ the agent told 10News.

Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, U.S. policy has focused on al-Qaida and its offshoots…

Hezbollah, he said, is far more advanced.”  Read more.

Palestinian Imam: ‘Obama Will Soon Hang Together with Bush’

05/03/2011 1 comment

By Elior Levy – “An imam from the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem vowed to take revenge over ‘the western dogs’ for killing Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on Sunday.

In a Youtube video uploaded by the imam he said: ‘The western dogs are rejoicing after killing one of our Islamic lions. From Al-Aqsa Mosque, where the future caliphate will originate with the help of God, we say to them – the dogs will not rejoice too much for killing the lions. The dogs will remain dogs and the lion, even if he is dead, will remain a lion.”‘

The imam then verbally attacked US President Barack Obama saying: ‘You personally instructed to kill Muslims. You should know that soon you’ll hang together with Bush Junior.’

‘We are a nation of billions, a good nation. We’ll teach you about politics and military ways very soon, with god’s help,’ he vowed.”  Read more.

UK Cleric: Jihad Ultimately Coming to ‘Heart of America’

05/03/2011 Leave a comment

WND – “The death of Osama bin Laden will bring a ‘new era of jihad,’ predicted British extremist cleric Anjem Choudary.

Warning there are motivated jihadists ‘in the heart of America,’ Choudary said al-Qaida will likely carry out revenge operations with ‘meticulous accuracy’ and ‘devastating affect’ comparable to that of the 9/11 attacks.

Choudary is the founder and former chief of two Islamic groups disbanded by the British authorities under anti-terror legislation.

Speaking today in an interview with ‘Aaron Klein Investigative Radio’ of New York’s WABC Radio, Choudary said that while bin Laden was a ‘lion of Islam … there are many lions waiting to take his place.’

‘I do believe that the death of Sheikh Osama will bring in a new era of jihad,’ Choudary told Klein.

‘Post-Osama bin Laden, I believe the mujahedeen around the world will have something to prove, that the jihad is not about an individual.’

Choudary said instability for U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan ‘will be a complete nightmare after this event.’

Asked whether he believes al-Qaida is planning revenge attacks, the British extremist speculated the global jihad group ‘will have their own emergency meetings and they will plan their own response.’

Continued Choudary: ‘It may be in the short-term or it may be in the long-term, but ultimately, we know that when they decide on an operation, that most likely it will be fulfilled with meticulous accuracy and with devastating effect.’

‘We saw that with 9/11,’ he added.

Choudary said worldwide jihad “at the current time is spread right from Australia all the way to the heart of Europe and into the United States.”

‘There are many people who believe in the phenomenon of jihad which has been franchised as well from al-Qaida. … And these people live in the heart of Europe and they live in the heart of America.'”  Read more.

By Jibran Khan – “Lahore (AsiaNews) – Tensions are running high in Gujranwala, a town in the Pakistani province of Punjab, recent scene of repeated attacks by Muslim extremists against the Christian minority. Yesterday, a mob attacked Christian homes and places of worship, setting fire to a number of churches. Only the action of police prevented any loss of life and injuries. The attacks were sparked by reports that a burnt copy of the Qur‘an had been found on Saturday. Muslim religious leaders responded by urging people to attack Christians. Scared for their lives, many families fled the area. Meanwhile, the authorities have begun enforcing Section 144 of the Pakistan Penal Code to limit public assemblies to a maximum of four people.”  Read more.

Final Bin Laden Doomsday Tape May Be Released by Al Qaeda Disciples; U.S. Officials Fear Backlash

05/03/2011 Leave a comment

BY Bill Hutchinson – “A doomsday tape made by Osama Bin Laden was poised to be released Monday by his Al Qaeda disciples.

U.S. officials feared the recording would be akin to a voice from the grave calling for a do-or-die jihad against the West, a final order of a terrorist madman.

Just a day after U.S. Navy SEALs raided Bin Laden’s luxury hideout in Pakistan and snuffed him out, media outlets were weighing whether to air a tape that could boost his legacy as a martyr.

CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said he was getting bombarded with Twitter messages from viewers pleading with the network not to air Bin Laden’s propaganda.

Blitzer’s colleague Anderson Cooper said he sided with those who had no desire to hear from a hater.

‘Bin Laden a mass murderer who should never be heard from again,’ Cooper said Monday.

It was unclear whether the tape is audio or video, but a U.S. official said intelligence indicates Bin Laden ordered it to be released in the event of his death.”  Read more.

WikiLeaks: Osama Bin Laden Killed After Tip-Offs from Guantanamo

05/02/2011 Leave a comment

By Tim Ross – “Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who was repeatedly subjected to methods including ‘waterboarding’ and stress positions, provided the CIA with the name of bin Laden’s personal courier, according to US officials.

A second source – also an al-Qaeda ‘leader’ held at Guantanamo Bay – then confirmed the courier’s identity, sparking an intense manhunt that resulted in the dramatic final raid.

Secret documents seen by The Daily Telegraph disclose that this second source – the terrorist operations chief, Abu Faraj al-Libi – played a key role in finding ‘safe havens’ for bin Laden and lived in the military town where he was finally found.

The killing of the world’s most wanted man as a direct result of information obtained from Guantanamo detainees such as KSM will reignite the debate over whether torture is a legitimate interrogation technique in the ‘war on terror’. Both KSM and al-Libi were subjected to harsh techniques during their interrogations in CIA prisons.”  Read more.

Taliban: Islamists Planning to Mount Attacks in Response to Death of Osama Bin Laden

05/02/2011 Leave a comment

By Ghaith Abdul-Ahad – “A Taliban commander in Afghanistan has promised that his fighters would mount attacks to avenge the killing by US forces of Osama bin Laden.

The commander, who gave his name as Qudos and operates in the northern province of Baghlan, said: “The killing of Osama bin Laden will bring no change to jihad. Osama is the leader of al-Qaida and he is a powerful man in jihad. Losing him will be very painful for the mujahideen, but the shahadat [martyrdom] of Osama, will never stop the jihad. We will continue our fight until we liberate our lands from the Kafirs.”

He said his fighters planned to launch an operation called Bader “to avenge the killing of Osama” and claimed many other similar operations would be launched.” Read more.

Marine Bio/Chem Warfare Unit Recalled to the U.S. as Intel Warns of Possible Revenge Attacks– By SARA JUST and RUSSELL GOLDMAN – “U.S. intelligence and law enforcement authorities warned today that al Qaeda may try to strike back at the U.S. for the death of Osama bin Laden and in a sign of the urgency, an elite unit of Marines who handle chemical and biological weapons attacks was recalled today from Japan.

The death of the world’s most wanted terrorist has security experts at all levels of government concerned that bin Laden’s loyal and fanatical followers could launch a series of deadly attacks.

‘Though bin Laden is dead, al-Qaeda is not,’ said CIA Director Leon Panetta. ‘The terrorists almost certainly will attempt to avenge him, and we must—and will—remain vigilant and resolute. But we have struck a heavy blow against the enemy.’

Former chief of staff to President George W. Bush, Andrew Card, told ABC News that reprisal attacks could already be planned.”  Read more.
