Pardoned Terrorist In Morroco Turns To Bombing

Published by at 1:23 pm under All General Discussions,Bin Laden/GWOT

The good news in this story is Morroco avoided a suicide bomb, but that crazy part is one or two of the suspects had been pardoned of previous terrorism charges. And it took ineptitude to incover the plot, not surveillance:

Police have arrested 13 people allegedly linked to a man who blew himself up in a Casablanca Internet cafe and found bomb-making equipment on Wednesday, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.

Like the bomber, at least one of those arrested had been in prison on terrorism charges before being pardoned, ministry spokesman Abderrahman Achour told The Associated Press.

Abdelfettah Raydi died when explosives hidden on his body went off in an internet cafe in the Casablanca slum of Sidi Moumen, injuring Raydi’s accomplice, Youssef Khouidri, and three bystanders.

Goes to show you what happens when you show a terrorist any mercy.

    AJ: for the first time in the entire Human History of Warfare, the goals of the two opposing sides, US vs. the Jihadis, are exactly the same!

    When normal humans fight a war (as opposed to Jihadis); the goal is to kill the enemy, and win! It’s that simple!

    In this war, our goal is to kill the enemy, and the Jihadis goal is to kill themselves!

    Ergo, for the first in recorded history, the goals of the opposing sides is the same!

    So, as I’ve proposed for years, let’s kill as many of them, as want to die!

    PS: when I patiently explain this to the little Leftists in my Office, they immediately go crazy, and accuse me of bigot and murder, but that really doesn’t bother me at all; the truth hurts!

    Also shows you the importance of the Internet.

    You’re not picking up this news elsewhere.

    While for the major media? They’re gonna have a losing battle with black ink. As things turn red for them.

    Yes, it reminds me, too, of hollywood. And, how well the film “300” is doing! Wow. Made in 60 days. Without stars.

    I think you can learn a lot when something turns up in the market place and makes real money.

    So far? Hollyweird was so happy with their religious-propaganda films, many “stars” found the flow of big money alluding them.

    You don’t think money talks?

    I think people who purposely go about destroying their income base are stupider than dirt. And, history is repleat with examples of even religious edifices losing their luster.

    At what point, for instance, if you had to guess? Islam totters. Where would you pick up the smells of failure from? You think lots of people are happy putting their kids through suicide camps? Really?

    I just don’t judge people as being all that brave.

    What’s missing, though, is knowing if the Islamic track; in such disorder on the map. From the sunni infighting; to the “out fighting.” That you have to wonder if what we’re watching isn’t on par with the way the european aristocrats went about committing suicide.

    You don’t think the europeans found a way to put themselves into the death throws? Well, then we just differ on outlooks.

    Islam isn’t “growing” so much as festering.

    And, the “key word” in the above tale? “SLUMS.” All the kindness in the world shown by limosine liberals never really shows ya that this crap is NOT POPULAR IN THE SLUMS!

    Do people make believe they have faith? Sure. But it’s a loser’s gamble to think you can keep filling the tents forever with this circus. Or, to put it another way. When was the last time the circus drew its wagons into your town?

    Prediction: There will come a time in this war against Islamism when the battleground will be level.
    The sad part is that it won’t become level until hundreds of thousands of innocent people are murdered by these fanatics all in one fell swoop.
    One would think that 3,000 murdered in one single morning would have been enough to change the rules to no quarter given, for one side offers no quarter while the other does.
    America and her allies fight this war with one hand and the opposite foot tied behind their back. We allow the enemy to surrender and afford them a better life in captivity than they ever enjoyed while”Free”.
    In the eyes of the enemy,this demonstrates weakness rather than fairness. This demonstrates that the enemy can win,so they keep fighting. As long as we offer the enemy hope,they will continue to fight.
    America and her allies will never win this war as long as we fight by our rules rather than by the rules that the enemy has set forth.
    Until the day we give no quarter,take no prisoners and fight the enemy until they are dead can we break their will to continue their struggle. We must make them abandon all hope of victory.
    Until that day, the battle is only half joined.
    Some have not been hurt enough to see that this is how the battle must be waged.
    The next 9/11 will make the last 9/11 look like 9/10.

    Never Forget,although some already have.

    FireFireFire,

    Sadly my friend you are 100% correct. Until they have no hope they will continue to kill. Which is why those who give them hope are just making sure more people needlessly die. The oxymoron is anti-war in the modern day equals massive useless death.

  5. DaleinAtlanta says:

    AJ & FireFireFire: no, though you are both correct; the sad fact is, that in the first week of June, 1995, Me/Myself/I, and the Islamic Fundalmentalism expert from the State Department’s Intel branch, sat in a room, with about 50 other Intel Analysts, from all over the IC community, who were focused on Islamic Fundalmentalism, and we told senior representatives of the FBI & CIA, that they (the Jihadis), were NOT going to stop, until they killed Thousands of us at the same time; and the State Department guy also added, quite presciencently, that the “rice-bowling” between the FBI & CIA was going to contribute to those thousands of American deaths!

    A senior “rep” from the FBI, looked me straight in the eye and said “I hear your message, but the Oval Office does not want to hear what you have to say….!”

    Give you $0.01, if you tell me who was President then???

  6. MerlinOS2 says:

    Dale we probably could have guessed without the date of the meeting.

  7. The Macker says:

    Dale,
    How much of the in-fighting is territorial and how much idealogy?

  8. lurker9876 says:

    Heh…did Madeline Alright attend that meeting of yours, Dale?

    George Tenet?

    Richard Clarke…surely you would get to know him well.

    One other key man…I forget his name….

    And wasn’t this BEFORE the Monica Lewinsky scandal?

    Gates of Vienna has two great articles up:

    Will the Third Rome Fall to Islam?

    Islam vs Christianity?

  9. lurker9876 says:

    Your June 1995 meeting precedes Osama bin Laden’s fatwa against USA, btw.

    Interesting that there were people back in 1995, albeit a small number, understood the dangers of radical Islam….and without “MSM education” of the public. Of course, the recent education on radical Islam is coming from several conservative blog websites.

  10. lurker9876 says:

    And, Dale, it might be interesting if we knew who that senior “rep” was that made that comment to you.

  11. DaleinAtlanta says:

    Lurker: no Albright, and no Clarke!

    Never understood why Clarke wasn’t there, he’s claimed he was the saviour of the Republic, because of his actions during the Clinton Administration, and he couldn’t attend this meeting down at the FBI Academy in Quantico, it was interesting…

    Thanks for the pointers towards Gates of Vienna.

    Man, I butchered “prescience” up in the last post; I’ll stick to four letter words from now on…

    MACKER: I think it was both, actually!!

  12. The Macker says:

    ” “MSM education” of the public” – Lurker

    Perfect description! And exactly why conservatives need to offer “remedial” education.

  13. AJStrata says:

    Dale,

    We need to talk some. I would love to ask you some questions in private over email.

    I know the mindset of the Clintonistas – it was all PR fluff and bury and bad or complex news. The epitome of the ‘me’ generation.

  14. DaleinAtlanta says:

    Luker: we knew all about Bin Laden then; several of us had a handle on him, and he specifically was discussed at the meeting.

    As for the Rep’s “name”; you know, I’ve done a datadump since then, and left my active participation in the IC some years, back, because of my extreme disappointment, in the neglect, and politics, and bullshit involved!

    When 9/11 hit, I cried for a week, because I felt I was personally responsible, if I had fought to stay in, and get my message out, maybe it could’ve made a difference.

    I’ve tempered that guilt a bit since then, but I still feel as if I let a lot of people down!

    I started personally, due to my background in the Middle East, having spoken Arabic, attending University over there, etc., banging the drum of Islamic Fundalmentalism by 1991!

    And that was way too late, by the way!

    But by the Spring/Summer of 1995, individual analysts, had a handle on it, and we were aware!

    I think though, at that time, we were not still completely aware of the full connections between Bin Laden/Al Qaeda, and the Blind Sheikh, and thus of Bin Laden’s obvious involvement in the WTC ’93 bombing; or at least I was not!

    I didn’t find out until later!

    I’m confident, 99.99% of the American Public STILL doesn’t know!

    If they did, they wouldn’t buy into all the Clinton/Richard Clarke Bullshit regarding their lack of action during the Clinton Administration:

    Read this article, about Bin Laden’s Brother-in-Law,
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Jamal_Khalifa
    and his connection to the ’93 WTC bombing, then follow the links back to Ramzi Yousef, the Blind Sheikh, and their planning of the killing of Rabbi Kahane!, etc.

    Also, then follow the links from Ramzi Yousef, to how he came into the US, via IRAQ!

    and of course the connections to Khaled Sheikh Mohammed!

    People for years, have maintained that there was NO link between Bin Laden & WTC ’93! That is just not true!

    And it brings up all kinds of other possibilities, as well!

    Dale

    Based on your knowledge of the mideast factions I would love to see ya blogging over at JihadWatch or the Counterrorism blog.

  16. DaleinAtlanta says:

    AJ: Hi, send me an email, I’ll reply with my cellphone, we can talk sometime!

    Merlin: Hi; I’ve posted major stuff about the various Islamic Factions at Captn’s Quarters, and JOM before!

    I’ve thought briefly about approaching the CT Blog, but have put it off for now.

    Sara at “Squiggler” asked me late last year, to be her Military/Intel Blogger; I was intrigued, and was about to do it, but I had to beg off because I’ve had some recent health issues with my parents and daughters, but hopefully that will clear up soon…

  17. MerlinOS2 says:

    Dale

    Squiggler’s blog has sorta gone dormant due to her personal situation.

    We have also talked before under another handle of mine about the time you cut in on the top brass circuit about a pending military op.

    I have also lurked some places where you posted much other well grounded stuff with knowledge levels that should be briefed to many congressional committees.

    The lack of understanding of most of those inside the beltway is almost criminal negligence.

  18. lurker9876 says:

    Merlin, speaking about those inside the Beltway, what are the odds that they would listen to someone like Scary Larry and others like him (e.g., VIPS) versus someone like Dale?

    Unfortunately, the first thing MSM would do is twist Dale’s words by making Clinton look good.

    I’ve read Dale’s posts at JOM but not at Capn’s Quarters. He has a lot of interesting stories to tell us.

  19. lurker9876 says:

    Since “we”, collectively we, had a handle on Osama bin Laden, why do you think we have not been able to capture Osama bin Laden and his second man, Zawahiri to this very day? Do you think we have a really idea where they are?

  20. lurker9876 says:

    Other possibilities…

    Strong connections between Saddam, his two sons, cohorts and Osama bin Laden?
