'Target Jordan' says al-Qaeda agent

http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2010/02/2010228114745982725.html


An al-Qaeda double agent who killed seven American intelligence operatives in a suicide attack on a base in Afghanistan has appeared in a video calling for a "jihad" against Jordan.

Hammam Khalil al-Balawi's posthumous 42-minute-long video was posted on the internet on Sunday.

In it he detailed his recruitment by Jordanian intelligence and how he double crossed them after they sent him to Afghanistan to spy on al-Qaeda.

"That's when I became certain that the best way to teach Jordanian intelligence and the CIA a lesson is with the martyrdom belt," he said.

2. Is there anyone they don't hate
Edited on Sun Feb-28-10 12:23 PM by Juche
I said a few years ago on another board that Al Qaeda is the Islamic version of the KKK. A very narrow, violent puritanical group motivated by xenophobia, culture shock & fundamentalism.

And its funny in a way. People think all you had to be to join the KKK was a white christian. Nope, you had to be the right kind of white (anglo saxon) and the right kind of christian (protestant). No catholics, jews, Germans, Italians, Polish, Spaniards, Russians, Mormons (sorry Glenn Beck), Jehovahs witnesses, etc. I'm pretty sure they even required you to be the right kind of protestant.

It is probably easier to determine who Al Qaeda doesn't hate.

4. They should take on a less powerful superhero, like, say, Green Arrow.
