Al Qaeda Will Nuke US in Late September

[leQ]

i'm not sure how much credibility one can take from this source, but hey, how much credibility is there in MSM?

A Pakistani journalist says that his sources in al Qaeda and the Taliban are claiming that nuclear material has already been smuggled across the Mexican border into the U.S. and that an operation bigger than 9/11 will be carried out during Ramadan--which begins later this month.

Hamid Mir, who is the only journalist ever to interview both Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri, claims that he learned this information on a recent trip to Afghanistan last month.

So, the guy does have a track record, but considering that he got the information from al Qaeda and the Taliban....well, these guys aren't exactly reliable sources. So, yeah the headline is alarmist, but blame my editor and not me.

A man called Adnan Al-Shukri Jumaa (Juma, Jumah) is presently in the U.S. and has been assigned the task of detonating the nuclear material. The report does not say whether an actual nuclear bomb was smuggled in or only material to be used for a 'dirty bomb'.

The Jawa Report

I'd be curious as to whether or not anybody else has anything on this guy.

1. I don't want this to happen and don't think it will.

2. it will seriously not surprise me

if this were to happen.

3. We've heard similar crap close to Ramadan every year

since 9/11, haven't we? Am I completely insane?

4. I thought Ramadan was in November

but I could be wrong.


self edit: looked it up, it's from Sept 24 - Oct 24, 2006.

6. It changes every year, since it's figured on a lunar calendar

A page I found on BBC says that this year, it's September 4th to October 23rd.

5. "smuggled across the Mexican border" If i were a cynic, I would say

that repug congresscritters in the House are very happy

[closeupready]

I do not believe this.

Setting aside issues with credibility of the Jawa Report, there needs to be corroboration of the journalist's claims from a separate source, at a minimum.

7. Story on him from Nov 2003

http://www.debka-net-weekly.com/issue.pl?username=&inumber=132

"A warrant for his arrest in both countries has been signed for a Saudi national called Adnan Al Shukri Jumah, aged 27, student of nuclear engineering employed at the 5-megawatt nuclear reactor for research at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. He was under surveillance when in early October, he stopped attending class at the university and thought to be at home. His disappearance was not remarked until a few days later when a large quantity of radioactive material was missed from the university’s nuclear reactor."
