Iran’s president recruits terror master
IRAN’S president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, attended a meeting in Syria earlier this year with one of the world’s most wanted terrorists, according to intelligence experts and a former national security official in Washington.

US officials and Israel intelligence sources believe Imad Mugniyeh, the Lebanese commander of Hezbollah’s overseas operations, has taken charge of plotting Iran’s retaliation against western targets should President George W Bush order a strike on Iranian nuclear sites.

Mugniyeh is on the FBI’s “Most Wanted Terrorists” list for his role in a series of high-profile attacks against the West, including the 1985 hijacking of a TWA jet and murder of one of its passengers, a US navy diver.

Mugniyeh lives in Iran and has evaded capture for more than 20 years, despite a $5m American bounty on his head. “When and if the Iranians decide to hit the West in its soft belly, Imad will be the one to act,” a western intelligence source said last week.

6. Actually I don't consider them terrorists as much as I think of them as
desperate people forced into doing desperate actions because of fear, religious prosecution and lack of education. Most of them are feed a diet of hate, fear and religion by leaders. I see them as an indication of what the fundies will become if they continue on their present path. The real terrorists are the countries that armed and supported their efforts to disrupt the world, America, the old USSR, China. We are the ones who created these monsters, now they have escaped their masters binds and watch out because just like Frankenstein they will try to destroy their creators. We are reaping what we sowed.

8. Don't worry, Merkans never heard of al-Qaeda before either.
Edited on Sun Apr-23-06 04:30 AM by pinniped
Now, they cower at the mere mention of their scaaaaaaary name, A-L--Q-A-E-D-A.

This entire article is one big PR story. With war with Iran looming on the horizon, the PR machines are in full speed. Hezbollah/Iran articles will be a daily event.

The un-intelligence morans also claimed Sadaam or some Iraqi dudes met with some scaaaaaaaaaaary terra 9/11 or whatever operatives in Prague or whatever that city was.

They are obviously using the same script with different characters.

IRAN’S president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, attended a meeting in Syria earlier this year with one of the world’s most wanted terrorists, according to intelligence experts and a former national security official in Washington.

Always before the * gang sets up a country for attack, the target country's leader meets with scaaaaary terra dudes.


Hey, why did you edit out the Iran funnels $$$$ to Hezbollah line?

Does this mean Iran doesn't funnel $$$$ to Hezbollah?

9. Remember after 9/11 they warned us to be on the look out for rac model
airplanes packed full of TNT? Also keep in mind these are the same agencies that said Saddam was working with, training and supporting Bin forgotten.

10. Those things make so much noise you can probably hear it before....
Edited on Sun Apr-23-06 04:37 AM by pinniped
you see it. The unintelligence morans should have told us to be on the hear out for TNT planes.

Then again, it could just be a hobbyist buzzing his unarmed rc plane around.

If the fuselage is emblazoned with TNT or God is great, then I will proceed to pull out my 12 gauge and pretend the rc plane is a clay pigeon.

12. OMFG! Who do they expect to swallow that propaganda?
Why would they give a heads up on this guy to the American press...Oh yeah, I forgot, we're building a case to bomb a country and we want the American people to know Iran wears a black cowboy hat.

“It’s hard to identify Mugniyeh because he is said to have changed his face and his fingerprints,” Ledeen said. “But senior government officials have told me I was right. He was there.”

Shortly after the Damascus summit Henry Crumpton, head of counter-terrorism at the state department, singled out the elusive Mugniyeh as a threat. The Iranians, Crumpton said, “have complete command and control of Hezbollah. Imad Mugniyeh works for Tehran. And you can’t talk about Hezbollah and not think about Iran. They really are part and parcel of the same problem.”

15. hypocrisy
Edited on Sun Apr-23-06 08:42 AM by grottieyottie
Now this is what I can't stand. Bald faced fucking hypocrisy.

These guys are Venezualans who need to face trial for TERRORIST acts on bloody EMBASSIES in Caracas.

And the Bushites say no to extradition because they might fucking get 'tortured'. Geezuz - that's rich.

There's no cases of torture under President Hugo Chavez's seven-year rule... can't say the same, can ya, Bush?

Bush protects his terrorists... and his minions decry the terrorist bombing that killed Lebanese Premier Hairiri

or Ahmadinejad visiting with Hezbollah.



What a piece of work!

Venezuela blasts U.S. decision not to extradite bombers

CARACAS, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Venezuelan Foreign Minister Ali Rodriguez issued a statement on Tuesday criticizing the United States for not deporting two Venezuelans linked to 2003 bomb attacks on the Colombian and Spanish embassies in Caracas.

The decision not to extradite Jose Antonio Colina and German Varela, who were former Venezuelan national guard officers, showed that Washington believed "there is good terrorism and bad terrorism", Rodriguez said in the statement.

On April 12, a U.S. court declined to extradite Colina and Varela, currently held at a U.S. immigration center in Houston, in the U.S. state of Texas, saying that they might be persecuted or tortured.

18. This story is factually incorrect: Ali Hamadi killed the Navy diver
Mohammed Ali Hamadi served 18 years in German prison for murdering US Navy diver Robert Dean Stethem during the 1985 TWA hijacking.

We have endless numbers of Al-Qaeda's Number 2s, at least two 9-11 twentieth hijackers, and now we have a second murderer of Robert Stethem.

Bush is the greatest terrorist in the world for he has murdered over 100,000 innocent Iraqi civilians, and now he wants to murder millions by the use of tactical nukes in Iran.
