it is not over yet. terrorists still poised to do maximum damage and
death against americans on american soil!
beware the second wave
**********************
debkafile's intelligence sources report that islamic militants under
the command of saudi multimillionaire terrorist osama bin laden, the
radical egyptian jihadi islami, iraqi military intelligence and other
middle east groups, stand poised for a second wave of horrendous
attacks in america.
an estimated 30 to 50 suicide-killers are waiting inside the us for
their orders to strike.
this time, while again aiming for the us president, the white house
and capitol hill, they will also go for a broad spectrum of what they
consider strategic targets, such as airports, oil fields and oil
installations, sensitive military and intelligence facilities,
warships and carriers. the last were indeed ordered out to sea
shortly after the first assaults on tuesday.
aware that flushing out the terrorists in waiting, many of whom may be
us nationals, is akin to finding a needle in a haystack, us leaders
quickly resorted to a short cut. two days ago, they turned to a number
of world leaders, including europeans, the russian president and
israeli prime minister ariel sharon, to request a pooling of
intelligence. they were asked to share every scrap of information
they had on international terror movements, in support of the us
effort to eradicate the blight. quick crosschecking between the
services strongly confirmed the second wave thesis. it has kept us
security services at the highest level of suspense they have ever
known.
therefore the fbi's dragnet on the trail of the conspiracy behind he
deadly airliner suicide attacks on america are moving fast, so that
the country is not caught off guard again. us security authorities are
concerned to strengthen the two lines of defense against terrorist
attack: the first-line barrier, advance intelligence, and the
second-line defense, security. both broke down when new york's
landmark the world trade center, and america's military nerve center,
the pentagon in washington, were crushingly assaulted by suicidal
terrorists last tuesday.
bin laden's scattered legions
*****************************
al qaeda ('the base'), the militant islamic movement the
saudi terrorist tycoon osama bin laden founded in 1990, is estimated
by
debkafile's terror experts to number no more than 12,000 fighting men
in
all. they are scattered round the world, mainly in afghanistan,
pakistan, kashmir, yemen, saudi arabia, ethiopia, albania, kosovo,
macedonia, chechenya, kazakhstan, uzbekistan, kyrgistan, tadjikistan
and
lebanon. some 2,500 live in the united states, many of them us
nationals, counting also members of al qaeda's fraternal terrorist
group, the fundamentalist egyptian jihad islami. many are 'afghan
arabs'
who fought with bin laden against the russians in afghanistan in the
eighties.
either involved in local conflicts, like the balkans, or organized as
a
sort of international rapid strike force for terror, bin laden moves
his
troops from site to site as needed, usually by chartered commercial
flights. together with reserves, he can field some 17,000 islamic
militants to pursue what he conceives as his mission: to defeat the
united states and its dominant influence as a world superpower. most
bin
laden operations are large-scale yet precisely pinpointed to achieve
that end.
his annual operational budget is estimated as $125 million, which
comes
out of revenues from family-owned companies. his relatives are close
to
saudi crown prince abdullah. so as to save them and the saudi ruler
embarrassment, he has invested his stock in front companies registered
in addis ababa, the ethiopian capital. most of his investments are in
satellite networks and cell phone companies.
bin laden is the first terrorist chief to operate in global strategic
terms. all his operations ' and there have been no more than a dozen -
are meticulously prepared and executed and always aim at damaging us
superpower standing. his only regional or local targets are saudi
relations with the united states and the american infidel presence in
the kingdom, which for him is anathema and profane. bin laden differs
substantially from yasser arafat in that his thinking and targeting
are
global and ideological. al his associations are with radical islamic
groups and figures.
digging into his roots, debkafile has discovered bin laden's first
mentor to have been an obscure palestinian sheikh who lived in hableh
near tulkarm and jenin, called abdallah azzam. founder of an islamic
liberation movement called haraketh al-tahariyeh al-islami, this
sheikh,
for the first time in the 20th century, called for an islamic struggle
on a global, not merely a national, footing. he urged moslems to fight
for world domination and the eclipse of infidel rule. although a
palestinian himself, azzam mocked yasser arafat's plo as
inconsequential.
this doctrine actuated bin laden in founding his al qaeda (the base) a
decade ago. it is his guiding light to this day.
