Mullah Krekar on Al-Jazeera
Mullah Krekar, the Muslim leader now living in Norway, has gotten tangled up. He now says he is not the leader of Ansar al-Islam, a jihadist group in Iraq, but he sang a different tune to Al-Jazeera recently: "Mullah Krekar, under arrest in Norway for suspected terror links, represented himself in an Al-Jazeera TV program as leader of the suspected terrorist group Ansar al-Islam just last month. He also confirmed the group was behind a suicide bombing in Northern Iraq last year." This from Aftenposten, with thanks to roboetal.
"Krekar's appearance on the TV program left his Norwegian defense attorney with some explaining to do on Friday. Lawyer Brynjar Meling has been trying to get Krekar released from custody in Oslo, vigorously repeating Krekar's earlier claims that he has nothing to do with Ansar al-Islam.
"Newspaper Aftenposten reported Friday that in the Al-Jazeera program, broadcast December 2, Krekar appeared as a guerrilla leader. Wearing a head covering and military fatigues, he offered no protest or correction when he was identified several times as zaim, or leader, of Ansar al-Islam.
"Moreover, Krekar confirmed in the debate program called Al-Ittijah-al-Muakis that Ansar al-Islam was behind a suicide bombing in Northern Iraq on March 22. Three people were killed in the bombing, and that incident plays a key role in Norwegian prosecutors' charges against him.
"Krekar also displayed detailed knowledge of the incident, saying that after 'the Americans bombed us in our areas... one of our brothers, one of the martyr candidates, fastened explosives to himself and his car and drove into an American position.' Before he left, Krekar added, the suicide bomber 'gave USD 5,000 that he had to his brothers and exchanged his new shoes with old ones.'"
I just watched a video released by the US military of an apache helicopter pilot shooting three terrorists in Iraq with cannon fire. The video was taken at night and the figures of the three terrorosts were easily identifiable. As was an attempt by one terrorist to dispose of a rocket launcher. Any viewer could even distinguish one of the terrorists crawling on the ground before he was finished off.
After seeing this video I have no doubt that the US would have no difficulty in observing and photographing the movement of vehicles in Syria and Lebanon. I make the assumption that the US and Israel would be able to make intelligent guesses as to the general area to which weapons would be moved.
The US has had a decade of experience in patrolling the no fly zone in Iraq and must have a substantial database of terrorist locations in Syria and Lebanon.
Disclosures by Debka of WMD in the Bekkaa valley hardly raised a comment from the US and the warblogs seem to question their accuracy.
My guess is that the US is well aware (and has evidence) that these weapons have been, and are being shipped, from Iran to Lebanon via Syria.
The strategic position of Israel improves dramatically if the US decides to de Bath Syria.
Lebanon falls like the puppet that it is. Hizbullah is geographically isolated as are the arabs adjacent to Israel.
Do you believe that the US has solid evidence of Syria's current involvement in facilitating weapon deliveries from Iran to Hizbullah?
Sorry, above comment related to the "Iran sent arms to Hizbullah on aid planes" thread.
My question is ,why is the norwegian government giving this muslim fanatic,asylum?!
Norwegia is a peaceful country and i suppose they don`t want to be flooded by muslim immigrants...why not just send all of them back home,no questions asked,period?!
Norway is the new terrorist safehaven. Mullah Krekar is only one of several hundred terrorist living in Norway.
The Norwegian terrorist collect funds for terrorist acts in Israel,Russia,Sri Lanka, Turkey, Europe and the US.
