Militant jihadis seek motivated white supremacists…

…to assist in smuggling a bioweapon i.e. Anthrax through tunnels under the U.S.-Mexico border to attack the U.S.  Not only would the “fighter” carrying the Anthrax be required to make it through the tunnels;  he “will go to the White House lawn, and will spread this ‘confetti’ all over them, and then we’ll do these cries of joy. It will turn into a real celebration.”

This was the substance of a message broadcast earlier this year in an Al-Qaeda recruiter’s video equivalent of a Craigslist ad/birthday wish. Authorities have recently authenticated the broadcast showing “Kuwaiti dissident Abdullah al-Nafisi telling a room full of supporters in Bahrain that al Qaeda is casing the U.S. border with Mexico to assess how to send terrorists and weapons into the U.S.”

Interesting to see whether/how much Mexican drug dealers and traffickers would participate in this enterprise. If it had the potential to be too disruptive to their operations, I think they’d make sure it didn’t happen (via a discussion with The Rhetorican).

And, for what it’s worth, I believe that Mexican cartel lords are equally ruthless and much smarter than most of al Qaeda’s recruiters and top brass (especially Abdullah al-Nafisi).

Al Qaeda: terrorism’s equivalent of a fast food franchise!

AP (via MSNBC) reports that Al Qaeda continues to form allegiances with homegrown groups sharing similar goals e.g. the al-Qaida of the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM or AQLIM) in Algeria. Put simply, Al Qaeda trains them and lends them their brand name, and in return the ubiquitous group gets more members at their disposal and a greater reach across areas like northern and western Africa and Europe.

Note: some of you might remember that AQLIM was the group whose training camp was decimated by the bubonic plague this past January. Click here for my post.

Ironic that their business model is based on one of the Western concepts they most despise.  One could argue the joke is meant to be on us, but I thought the point was to find culturally non-Western, Islamic ways of doing things and prove they work better than Western concepts? What do I know, I’m just an infidel.
