Al-Q’s #2 guy, al-Zawahri sends a Christmas message. He has seen the light. A hoot of a satire.

Terror plots

Posted on November 10, 2006 | Comments Off on Terror plots

Britain’s MI5 intelligence agency apparently is worried, as its usually secretive director makes a public speech on the 30 known plots they are investigating while surveilling 1,600 people.

"Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller warned the threat was ‘serious’ and ‘growing.’ She said future attacks could be chemical or nuclear…’These plots often have linked back to al-Qaeda in Pakistan and through those links al-Qaeda gives guidance and training to its largely British foot soldiers here on an extensive and growing scale.’"

Martyrdom, that’s the ticket

This is a brag, believe it or not. Looks like the flypaper is still working.

"The new leader of al Qaeda in Iraq said in an audiotape posted on the Internet Thursday that more than 4,000 foreign insurgent fighters have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003."

Turn of the screw for al Q

Posted on September 22, 2006 | Comments Off on Turn of the screw for al Q

"Coalition forces in Iraq have suddenly received the manpower equivalent of three light infantry divisions…and now have a huge edge over al-Qaeda in al-Anbar province. How did this happen? Tribal leaders in the largely Sunni province on the Syrian border got together and signed an agreement to raise a tribal force of 30,000 fighters to take on foreign fighters and terrorists," reports StrategyPage.com.

"These leaders have thrown in with the central government in Baghdad. This is a decisive blow to al Qaeda, which has been desperately trying to fight off an Iraqi government that is getting stronger by the week. Not only are the 30,000 fighters going to provide more manpower, but these tribal fighters know the province much better than American troops – or the foreign fighters fighting for al Qaeda. Also, this represents just over 80 percent of the tribes in al-Anbar province now backing the government."
