Blackwater/CIA/FBI Send 5 West Virginians for Terrorist Training in Pakistan

Blackwater/CIA/FBI elements committed treason by making war on the United States when they paid the way and arranged a place to stay for five West Virginia kids to travel to Pakistan for terrorist training with the obvious communi$t plan being to bring the kids home to the United States to engage in acts of terrorism and suicide bombing. Pakistan caught the Blackwater scum, the kids' handlers, got them to confess, hopefully by torturing them, which enabled the Pakistani police to capture the kids Blackwater/CIA/FBI had sent to Pakistan for terrorist training.

Blackwater/CIA/FBI has been spinning what happened with their kids in Pakistan for days. One thing is for sure and thank God, elements of Blackwater/CIA/FBI, making war on the USA have been having some bad days lately.

There is an evil element of the FBI, which I classify as Louie Freeh's thugs, which has been manipulating shootings and acts of terrorism in the United States for the purpose of fomenting racial hatred and prejudice against Arabs who are US citizens, instigate violence and civil war between what media has labeled "Tea baggers" and "Obama brown shirts," and classify all Americans terrorists.

Their treason constitutes war against the US Constitution for the purpose of doing away with our legal system and replacing it with torture-no legal rights'-execute Tribunals, and military rule of the USA with a Martial Law dictator. comrade Obama, many members of the USA Congress, and some members of the US Supreme Court are in discussions with high ups in the US military plotting the turn over the rule of the United States to the military, treason, now. How do I know this? Logic based upon current events. The following links pertain to their treason. 11-30-09 Louie Freeh's Thugs Manipulate Murder of Four Police Officers To Intimidate Members of Congress to Support More Troops for Afghanistan, 11-17-09 Rothschilds/Rockefellers Direct Blackwater/FBI/John Negroponte to Finance and Organize BOTH "TeaBaggers" and "Obama Brown Shirts", 11-11-09 Louie Freeh, Mastermind Behind DC Sniper Murders, Sighs Relief As One of His Patsies, John Allen Williams, Is Executed, 11-08-09 Rothschild/Rockefeller Propaganda & Lies - Louie Freeh & LHATE Manipulated Ft. Hood Shooter Connected to 911.

Could the five West Virginia kids have gone to Pakistan for terrorist training on their own and Blackwater/CIA/FBI not been their travel agents, agenda planners, and handlers? No. No motive or means. The communi$t$, Rothschilds and Rockefellers have the means and motive to send them. Current events with Hassan, the Ft Hood shooter, and the FBI catching US citizens with Arab ethnic background engaging in acts they classify as terrorism, comrades Little George and Obama's efforts to classify Americans as terrorists and do away with the US Constitution and legal system for all Americans is much more logical. Blackwater nabbed two days before the kids nabbed and Blackwater obvious connection to terrorism in the United States, Iraq, and all over the world. The lame lie the kids parents reported them missing is beautiful and typical non sense Blackwater/CIA/FBI spin.

LAHORE (PAKISTAN) – Security agencies arrested four suspected members of notorious Blackwater agency while they were trying to force their entry into the Cantonment Area here on Tuesday evening, sources informed.
However, they were released two hours later on the intervention of the US Consulate.
According to well-placed sources, the officials of security agencies intercepted three vehicles with tinted glasses near Sherpao Bridge, as security was on high alert, a day after twin bomb blasts hit Moon Market, Lahore’s leading shopping mall, leaving more than 54 people dead and 150 others wounded.
The arrested suspects believed to be Cobra operatives failed to produce authentic identification and their purpose for entering into the most sensitive area during cross-questioning with the security agency officials. The sources revealed that the suspects were apparently foreigners and they had no proper travel documents. However, the suspects refused to go with the security agencies for further interrogation and started arguing with security agency personnel, creating a terrible traffic mess at the leading artery of the City. Hundreds of motorists remained trapped in the traffic mess for about two hours.
The news of arrest of members of notorious and private spy agency, Blackwater, spread in the City like jungle fire as people stared calling one another to share the development.
Meanwhile, on the intervention of the US Consulate, the law enforcement agencies released the vehicles after the
Consulate personnel arrived and produced the documents.
It is important to mention here that whenever the security agencies nab such private spies, they are released on the intervention of US Embassy or Consulate.
When contacted, spokesperson for US Consulate, Jami Dragon, admitted that the vehicles impounded for some hours belonged to the US Consulate Lahore.
He said that three diplomatic vehicles of the Consulate were stopped at a check-post for routine checking in Cantonment area, which later were released when the some US Consulate staff members reached the spot and produced documents and identification.
Ironically, Jami Dragon very naively said that he did not know about the law and regulations regarding prohibition on the use of tinted glasses in Pakistan.
The spokesman did not know whether the vehicles were taken to any other place. However he said, the checking took a couple of hours, for which he said, he did not know the reason.

Officials: Blackwater Participated in CIA ‘Snatch and Grab’ Operations

Line Between Military, CIA, and Blackwater 'Blurred'
by Jason Ditz, December 10, 2009

Intelligence officials and former Blackwater employees are confirming that the shadowy military contractor participated in “almost nightly” kidnapping raids in Iraq and Afghanistan, called “snatch and grab” operations by company insiders on behalf of the CIA.

Erik Prince
The relationship was so closed that officials say the line between military operations, those by the CIA, and those by the private security forces became completely blurred.

The latest report comes just a week after Blackwater owner Erik Prince confirmed that his company permformed “very risky missions” for the CIA, giving the agency “unattributable capability.” Prince did not, however, confirm any specific operations.

Besides operating a company making billions of dollars contracting for the US military, the State Department, and the CIA, Prince was himself a CIA operative who reportedly helped train CIA assassination teams.

The CIA was involved in a massive kidnapping program across the world for several years, a fact which became even more apparent last month with 23 CIA officers were convicted on kidnapping charges in Italy.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Investigators from the F.B.I. continued Friday to question five Muslim American men who were arrested in Pakistan earlier this week, but it remained unclear whether the men would be deported to the United States, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said.

Virginia Men Suspected of Militancy Are Called Intensely Devout ‘Good Guys’ (December 11, 2009)

“It all depends on the investigations, and things will be clear in a day or two,” said the spokesman, Rashid Mazari.

Officials say the men, from the suburbs of Washington, were en route to North Waziristan for training with the Taliban and al Qaeda to fight American troops in Afghanistan.

The police arrested them on Wednesday in Sargodha, a major city in Punjab Province that has become a growing center of militancy.

The F.B.I. said in a statement on Thursday that it wanted the men returned to the United States. The five have not been charged under Pakistani law and it is not clear what they would be charged with in the United States, American officials said.

The minister of law in Punjab, Rana Sanaullah, said Friday the Pakistani authorities wanted to complete their investigation into the links between Pakistani extremist groups and the Americans before granting extradition.

The young men had told investigators they planned to meet near the border between Punjab and North-West Frontier Province, with a person who would then take them to their destination in the tribal areas where the Taliban and al Qaeda are based, Mr. Sanaullah said.

He added that it was important for the Pakistanis to understand which militant groups the young men were in touch with before letting them return to the United States. A United States consular officer was scheduled to see the men on Friday, an American Embassy spokesman said, and they would be asked if they wanted a lawyer to represent them.

The questioning by the American investigators of the five men, aged from their late teens to mid twenties, started early Friday as each of the men was called separately into a room at the Sargodha police headquarters, a local police official said. The senior Pakistani police officials from the city were killing time outside the headquarters building as the Americans conducted their investigation, the local police official said.

The Pakistani police said all five were American citizens, but the American Embassy official said one of the five did not hold an American passport.

The police said Khalid Farooq, the father of Umer, one of the young men, had been arrested and was also being questioned Friday on the grounds that he knew the young men were wanted by the F.B.I. but had not reported their whereabouts.

Mr. Farooq and his wife, who run a computer business in northern Virginia, were in Sargodha when the young men turned up there after landing in Karachi on Nov. 20, police said. Mr. Farooq immigrated to the United States 20 years ago and is an American citizen, the American embassy said. Whether the men acted on a lark or were recruited as part of a larger militant outfit, the case has renewed concerns that American citizens, some with ethnic ties to Pakistan and other Muslim countries, are increasingly at the center of terrorist plots against the United States and other nations.

Earlier this week, an American citizen of Pakistani background, David Coleman Headley, was charged in Chicago with helping plot the 2008 rampage in Mumbai, India, that killed more than 160 people.

In September, F.B.I. agents and police detectives arrested Najibullah Zazi, a 24-year-old Denver airport shuttle bus driver and former coffee-cart vendor, who prosecutors say had traveled to Pakistan for explosives training with two friends from New York. In January, Bryant Neal Vinas, a convert to Islam with family roots in South America, pleaded guilty to receiving training from Al Qaeda after traveling to Pakistan in 2008.

Their militant contact booked them into a hotel in Lahore, the official said. But once they got there, their contact went to ground and they were stranded.

They then went to Sargodha, home to the central command of Pakistan’s air force, and a city known as a center for anti-India militant groups.

The men were arrested at a four-room home in a government housing complex belonging to an uncle of the eldest of the group, Umer Farooq, 25, according to Chief Anwar.

“We had tips from local people and work of field officers that some foreigners were residing in some area of the city,” the chief said. “We watched them for a day or so and then arrested them.”

Mr. Farooq’s parents were staying at the house at the time, and his father, Khalid, was arrested as well. The police chief said the elder Mr. Farooq knew that his son and the other men were being hunted by the F.B.I., but had failed to inform the authorities of their presence.

Umer Farooq’s mother, Sabria Farooq, who was wearing a traditional chador, was interviewed Thursday at the house. She said she and her husband emigrated to the United States 20 years ago from Sargodha and returned in September to start a computer business, similar to the one they have in the Virginia suburbs close to Washington.

The five men seemed to have plenty of money, according to the police. Mrs. Farooq said one of the men, Waqar Khan, had brought $25,000 from the United States for the trip. In Karachi, the men stayed in a “good local hotel” before moving to Hyderabad, Pakistan, to make contact with a religious school, the police said.

The police identified the others arrested in Sargodha as Ramy Zamzam, 22, a dental student of Egyptian background at Howard University, who was described as a sort of “ringleader”; Ahmed Abdullah Minni, 20, born in Eritrea; and Aman Hassan Yemer, 18, a native Ethiopian. Mr. Khan is of Pakistani background and was reported to have family connections in Karachi. The spellings of the men’s names in various documents and provided by various officials have varied.

The five men bonded together in the jihadi cause, watching jihadist video clips on YouTube that showed attacks by the Taliban on allied forces in Afghanistan, he said. The group also maintained a common e-mail address, Chief Anwar said, employing a technique widely used among militants.

After establishing the Internet connection with the militant, the men planned their journey to Pakistan and into North Waziristan, where they intended to train near Miram Shah, a headquarters of the Afghan Taliban, the police said.

The men were carrying laptops and maps of Miram Shah, and also of Kohat and Hangu, two major towns in the North-West Frontier Province that serve as the gateway to the tribal areas, the police said.

Sargodha is increasingly well traveled by Pakistani militants from Punjab who head to the Waziristan region for training in explosives and weapons conducted by Taliban and Qaeda operatives.

In the past six months, 24 militants have been arrested in Sargodha, all with ties to the Taliban and Waziristan, the police said recently. “They want to hit America,” said one investigator, who requested anonymity while discussing security matters. “They were highly emotionally motivated.”

Waqar Gillani reported from Sargodha, and Jane Perlez from Islamabad. Salman Masood contributed reporting from Islamabad, and Eric Schmitt and Mark Mazzetti from Washington. Sabrina Tavernise also contributed reporting.

Pakistan looks at militant as key to Americans' journey

Reporting from Sargodha, Pakistan, and Washington

The investigation of five American Muslims held on suspicion of having links with terrorist groups has focused on a Pakistani militant whom the young men communicated with over the Internet and who became their primary contact as they tried to make their way to Afghanistan, Pakistani authorities said Saturday.

As Pakistani law enforcement officials began questioning for the fourth day the close-knit group from a multiethnic, working-class enclave in Virginia, investigators sought more information about a suspected Pakistani militant they knew only as Saifullah.

Investigators believe that Saifullah recruited the Americans, some of whom were college students, through an exchange of e-mails in late summer and the fall. Saifullah then tried to arrange for them to head to Pakistan's tribal areas along the Afghan border, sanctuaries for the Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Although investigators have not determined which militant group Saifullah was affiliated with, they believe he was based in Hangu, a district in North-West Frontier Province adjacent to the tribal areas where the Taliban presence is strong.

"They wanted to go to the tribal areas, and [Saifullah] was guiding them through e-mails and cellphone conversations," said Javed Islam, a police official in Sargodha, the central Pakistani city where the Americans were detained. "We've checked his location, and he's from Hangu."

The account police provided Saturday began to answer questions about how the group might have been radicalized. The story reinforces impressions that the journey was not well planned and shows, experts said, that the path to jihad, or holy war, is not straight or easy.

Unlike several alleged U.S. Islamic militants accused this year of training and plotting with Al Qaeda, the five men from Alexandria, Va., do not appear to have influential contacts in the extremist networks in Pakistan. Their difficulties are reminiscent of recent cases in which extremists were wary of Westerners, fearing infiltration by informants or rebuffing green recruits.

"I think these groups have thought about some of the recent high-profile cases in the media and they are thinking: 'Are these guys spies?' " said Evan Kohlmann, an independent investigator who works closely with security forces around the world. "Or are they so inept they could be a liability?"

The five men range in age from 18 to 24 and are U.S. citizens of Pakistani, African and Egyptian descent. They lived within blocks of one another in the Washington suburb.

They were arrested Wednesday in Sargodha, a city in Punjab province regarded as a hotbed for militants who have strengthened ties with the Pakistani Taliban and Al Qaeda.

Police say the Americans flew to Pakistan in late November with the hope of waging jihad against U.S. forces in Afghanistan. But the five have not been charged.

On Saturday, they were transferred from Sargodha to the eastern city of Lahore and were questioned by a team of Pakistani police investigators and intelligence agents, said Islam, the police official. A team of FBI agents had also questioned the men in Sargodha.

The detainees told interrogators that YouTube video postings by Saifullah depicting militant attacks on U.S. troops in Afghanistan caught their attention, according to Pakistani police. The Americans attached comments to the postings praising the attacks, and eventually learned that the videos were posted by someone named Saifullah.

Saifullah is a common name meaning "sword of Allah." Several militant chieftains in Pakistan are named Saifullah, but experts said it was doubtful that any of them would have communicated extensively with unknown Americans.

"It might be a recruiter with jihad experience, but not necessarily high in the hierarchy," Kohlmann said. "It could be an entrepreneurial 19-year-old."

The five men arrived in Karachi, Pakistan, on Nov. 30, stayed one night and traveled to the nearby city of Hyderabad, where they appeared at a madrasa, or Islamic seminary, run by Jaish-e-Muhammad, a Pakistani militant group with ties to Al Qaeda. The men asked to join the group, but were rejected, said Sargodha Police Chief Usman Anwar.

The Americans then went to Lahore, where they approached Jamaat-ud-Dawa, an extremist group affiliated with Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant organization accused of engineering the November 2008 attacks in Mumbai, India, that killed 166 people. Again, the men were rebuffed, police said.

These extremist groups disseminate a lot of English-language propaganda and operate offices in populated areas, so they have been gateways to training camps, combat and even Al Qaeda plots for Westerners over the years, authorities said. The rejections of the five young Americans underscore the apparently makeshift nature of an odyssey that relied mainly on the e-mail contact and the fact that one American had a family home in Sargodha, said a U.S. counter-terrorism specialist, who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak publicly.

"It seems . . . they just jumped into the ocean to see what they could find," the specialist said.

The five eventually went to Sargodha, where they stayed at a home owned by the parents of one of the men, Umar Farooq. His parents, Khalid and Sabira Farooq, live in Virginia but were at their home in Sargodha when the men arrived.

Islam said Farooq's parents did not know about the group's intentions and learned that they had left the U.S. only after another son there called to alert them.

Khalid Farooq does not share his son's radical beliefs and was angered by Umar's actions, said Islam, the Sargodha police official.

Khalid Farooq, 55, was arrested with the five young men and remained in custody while authorities decided whether to charge him for not informing police that the men were staying with him.

Musings of a Vast Right-Winger: 5 U.S. Men Arrested in Pakistan ...

I think it is time to take a hard look at Islam in America.
We need to find out what is being taught in the mosques.
We need to see if a fifth column movement taking place.
If so we need to take steps to stop the movement.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Investigators from the F.B.I. continued Friday to question five Muslim American men who were arrested in Pakistan earlier this week, but it remained unclear whether the men would be deported to the United States, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry said.

“It all depends on the investigations, and things will be clear in a day or two,” said the spokesman, Rashid Mazari.

The police arrested them on Wednesday in Sargodha, a major city in Punjab Province that has become a growing center of militancy.

On Friday, the Pakistani police also released photographs taken of the men at the police station. According to the police, three are of Pakistani origin, one is of Ethiopian descent and another is of Eritrean background. The Pakistani police said all five were American citizens, but the American Embassy official said one of the five did not hold an American passport.

Whether the men acted on a lark or were recruited as part of a larger militant outfit, the case has renewed concerns that American citizens, some with ethnic ties to Pakistan and other Muslim countries, are increasingly at the center of terrorist plots against the United States and other nations.

The youths, from Virginia, may end up being at least the fourth case prosecuted this year in which Muslim Americans traveled to Pakistan to link up with what remains a sprawling network of militant groups in the country.Earlier this week, an American citizen of Pakistani background, David Coleman Headley, was charged in Chicago with helping plot the 2008 rampage in Mumbai, India, that killed more than 160 people.

The five men in the current group all said on their visa applications that they were going to a wedding in Karachi, and all five gave the same address in Karachi for their stay in Pakistan, a Pakistani official said.Their militant contact booked them into a hotel in Lahore, the official said. But once they got there, their contact went to ground and they were stranded.

LAHORE: Security agencies on Saturday intercepted two more vehicles of US Consulate in two different localities of the provincial metropolis.

However, police claim the security personnel let the foreigners go only after a thorough search of the vehicles and being furnished with their identification by the consulate.

In the first incident, a land cruiser was intercepted by the police at a picket near Shimla Hill for bearing suspicious registration number.

The occupants of the vehicle reportedly offered resistance when the police sought their identification as well as registration book of the vehicle.

In the meantime, a security squad of the US Consulate also arrived at the spot and managed release of the vehicle and those riding it, sources said.

The other vehicle, also a land cruiser, was stopped by security personnel and military police at Sherpao Bridge, Cantonment, also carrying foreign ‘diplomats’.

Police sources said the vehicle had a fake registration number of Karachi. However, US Consulate officials again intervened and took the vehicle and its occupants with them, without letting the security personnel search them, they added.

SSP (Operations) Shafiq Ahmad said both the vehicles were allowed to go only after a thorough search, complete verification of their registration and travel documents of the foreigners.

It was third incident in a week in the city when security agencies intercepted vehicles owned by US Consulate.
