What's with the "Jaffar the Pilot" terrorist-nuke story?

[CoffeeCat]

I'm sorry this is such a cryptic message. My husband just briefed
me on this story, and this is all I know.

My husband said that Pakistani intelligence has learned that some
Middle Eastern guy named "Jaffar" has smuggled a nuclear weapon
into the United States, from the Mexican border.

I just heard this on Glenn Beck, and he's ranting and raving about it.
Beck tends to be a total alarmist, so I'm wondering if this story
is valid.

I Googled this Jaffar guy...some refer to him as "Jaffar the Pilot."
He's been reported on quite a bit in the MSM, since 9/11. Supposedly,
our government has been looking for him for a few years, but he is
nowhere to be found. I don't see the "nuclear weapon" story in the MSM.

I'm wondering if this is some kind of "October surprise" scare tactic.

Has anyone else heard anything about this?

2. Someone paying Beck to spread nutty rumors?

That would *not* be a surprise.

Sounds like something invented by the "fence the border" crowd.

3. Glenn Beck is probably using the new KKKarl Rove talking point.

This sure looks like the big surprise. Nukes=Fear

11. Jaffer the Pilot

There was a post on DU about Jaffar the Pilot a week ago.
I cannot search DU but I think it was about this article:

"He is an American and a friend of Muhammad Atta, who led 9/11 attacks five years ago," said Dawood. "We call him 'Jaffer al Tayyar' (Jaffer the Pilot); he is very brave and intelligent. (President) Bush is aware that brother Adnan has smuggled deadly materials inside America from the Mexican border. Bush is silent about him, because he doesn’t want to panic his people. Sheikh Osama bin Laden has completed his cycle of warnings. You know, he is man of his words, he is not a politician; he always does what he says. If he said it many times that Americans will see new attacks, they will definitely see new attacks. He is a real mujahid. Americans will not win this war, which they have started against Muslims. Americans are the biggest supporters of the biggest terrorist in the world, which is Israel."

12. Beck is a professional fearmonger idiot fuck unworthy of any respect

I hope I didn't come down on him too soft
