NYPD Detective Breaks His Silence on Kahane and the WTC

[kskiska]

So what did Poppy do about this?

Political activist Rabbi Meir Kahane was murdered by an Egyptian-born al-Qaeda terrorist after he delivered a speech at a Manhattan event in 1990 -- but because no one actually saw al-Sayed Nuseir pull the trigger, he was acquitted of the crime and was instead convicted on a lesser charge of possession of an illegal weapon. Three years later, Kahane’s murderer helped lead the terror cell which attacked the World Trade Center in 1993.

At the time, the theory that Kahane’s murder had been part of a terror conspiracy was discounted by federal investigators. But Detective John Molelli knew better, having been the first to find and examine the papers in Nuseir's rented house in Cliffside New Jersey .

Molleli found and closely examined boxes of notebooks and other papers written in Arabic, complete with diagrams that revealed the existence of a terrorist cell operating in the New Jersey – New York area. The papers included plans to attack a number of targets in New York City, including the World Trade Center. Police found photos of the Twin Towers, the Empire State Building and the Washington Monument. They found manuals on how to make bombs. They also found written materials promoting terror attacks on American soil.

The evidence was quickly removed to the offices of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and was largely ignored until the 1993 terror attack on the Twin Towers. Six people died and 100 were injured in the bombing. In the wake of the attack, the boxes that Molelli had discovered in Nuseir's rented house and which had been confiscated by the FBI were finally opened and closely examined, and the Arabic was translated.

2. Unfortunately for the WTC bombers

There was a man in charge of the government who knew how to use the apparatus of the government to identify the perpetrators, develop a case against them, apprehend, try, convict and imprison them, and they're rotting in jail to this very day.

For extra credit class, compare and contrast the outcome for the perpetrators of the first attack on the World Trade Center towers with the surviving perpetrators and planners of the second attack.

5. Kahane was no 'political activist'

He was the terrorist who created the terrorist group known as Kach. He was a violent man who wanted the expulsion of Arabs from Israel and wanted to forbid Jews and Non-Jews from marrying.

This was a case of a terrorist killing another terrorist.

6. Wasn't the racist Kahane killed

in revenge for the killings done by one of his discplines -- Baruch Goldstein who murdered 29 and injuried 125 and is considered by some in Israel to be a hero.

Didn't have to look any farther than Baruch's wiki to find his quote:

"I am not willing to treat any non-Jew. I recognize as legitimate only two authorities: Maimonides and Kahane"

But it is interesting that this bullshit article refers to him as a political activist...one can ONLY the outrage if Duke or Zundel were called political activists...

Just curious, was Kahane or Kach ever part of a terror cell? :eyes:
