American Passports Found on Bodies of Al Qaeda Fighters in Somalia

America exporting mujahedin. By Alexis Debat for ABCNews:

A senior official in the Somali government's new Ministry of the Interior told ABC News government forces had recovered "dozens of foreign passports," including several American passports, on the bodies of al Qaeda fighters killed in combat between forces affiliated with the Union of Islamic Courts (UIC) and Ethiopian forces in Somalia.

According to the same source, most of the foreign passports were Sudanese, Pakistani and Yemeni, but several American, British and Australian passports were also recovered.

The senior Somali government official told ABC News that the American passports found on the dead bodies near Baidoa, in Somalia, would be turned over to the American government.

Yesterday al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, Ayman al Zawahri, issued an audiotape statement urging Muslims to join the fight for "jihad" in Somalia.

So let me see... If these "American Citizens" had their phones tapped when calling "Foreign Terrorists" that would be wrong?

Let Zawahri call all the fatwas he wants. Any Western Muslims that want to leave the US or any Western country should be allowed to go and get killed.

It is their coming back I have a problem with. The atrocities that these "people" have likely committed boggle the mind. Hardened, corrupted, radicalized, whatever - they should automatically be declared "terrorists" and be barred from re-entry - forced to live in the squalor of the chaos they create - living on the run.

And the Muslims worry why we pay special attention to them in our airports.

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 4:41 PM

Look at the bright side...we have to worry about these people anymore.

This perfectly demonstrates the Islamist disconnection and refusal to assimilate to American culture.

If these Islamic "Americans" will leave the safety of the U.S. and jet over to Somalia at the drop of a hat, or mere suggestion by an Islamic cleric to join in the jihad, who is to say they can't be easily encouraged to engage in jihadist activity here in the States, if called upon?

No need for restricted immigration, huh?

I'm happy to see that the U.S. can still export something.

If Pelosi gets her way, there will be no wiretapping, no survelliance, no questions or searches at airports, no monitoring of mosques, no investigations into large money transfers; in fact, she will present a bill to make it illegal to even look at a Muslim.

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 4:55 PM

Ban Muslim immigration NOW>

Posted by: exsgtbrown [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 4:57 PM

exsgtbrown - If Pelosi and Reid get some kind of bill passed it will eventually hurt Democrats severely. Something will happen and they will be held accountable. Meanwhile people in the United States will be injured and killed because some leaders wanted to appear 'fair minded'.

as greatcomet says, we dont have to worry about them anymore. i can't help feeling that there is an irony here, in that the British ones probably got their passports because they sought asylum, saying that Somalia was too dangerous. turns out they were right !

Posted by: M Al-Content [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 5:15 PM

Passports were found on the bodies of dead al Qaeda fighters, but did the passports positively identify the dead? The same goes for the British and Australian passports. Were they genuine?
It could suggest a graver problem: jihadists with stolen or phony documents could come into the US at will.

Posted by: PMK [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 5:19 PM

where those passports false or the real thing? either way the more islamist's dead bodies they find, the safer all will be. Ethiopians deserve a special praise from all freedom loving people.

The names should all be published so that all the neighbors can say that 'he was such a nice boy and would never do that', 'wasn't a radical', and 'he was just going on vacation'.

UK: Doctor Suspended For Pamphlet Condemning Islam
News from the Scotsman:

Doctor Mick Russon has been suspended from his practice in the Shetland Isles, for producing a 46-page booklet, in which he is said to have slandered "Islam". Dr Russon has been at Hillswick health centre since 2004, and is a member of a Pentecostal Christian group.

His document, entitled "Proclamation" was distributed to 200 people in the region covered by his surgery. The booklet did not directly make mention of Islam, but it did refer to the "Babylonian Moon God".

The text included the following: "Satan is the Babylonian Moon God; a cult that has become probably the most oppressive of women throughout time. There are probably more people worshipping the Moon God at this moment in time than at any previous time in the history of mankind; it is probable that most who follow him do so out of fear and not reverence."

"As each successive world empire has reached its height, it is largely the conflict between politics and finance that brings it down. We have seen this only too well in recent days, when the buildings that represented the centre of global trade were destroyed by those who carry the symbols of the Babylonian Moon God. I of course refer to the events now universally referred to as 9/11."

The population of the Shetlands is almost exclusively non-Muslim, but one politically correct individual complained to Shetland Health Board, and as a result, Dr Russon has been suspended. His case is to go before the General Medical Council.

I am perplexed by this. A doctor deals with healing and health. As a citizen of a free country, he should be allowed to express his opinions of a religion, especially one as repressive, sexist and inherently violent as Islam.

Why the health authority chose to suspend him, leaving his surgery short of a doctor, because of notions of multiculturalism and political correctness, seems beyond me.

We the people need to know and have the right to know (as well as our airlines) if the passports are bogus.

Our government, by gaining access to the passports, might be able to see how well they are forged.

This of course will be another excuse to fast track biometric passports.

Posted by: The Goobs [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 6:00 PM

muslims are so vain they probably think his pamphlet was about them.......

And to the jihadists everywhere, please hie yourselves to the somalia roach motel ASAP. You can check in, but your only way out is through the gates of Hell. And let's see how the Ethiopians handle the promised "insurgency". Differently than the U.S. coalition in Iraq, I'll wager.

Posted by: Infidel33 [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 5, 2007 6:05 PM

Once mujahedin become US citizens, perjure themselves when taking the oath of citizenship, as does any Moslem that swears to uphold the US Constitution while holding the koran . . . ah . . . as the ultimate law, they can come and go around the world on jihad and--lest they are killed or captured --can always come back "home" (the US) and carry on the jihad here.

[one long run-on sentence that--but it tells the story]

Look at the bright side, this will give the UK
a chance to enhance their multicultural, diverse
and tolerant society. They can import some Doctors from Pakistan.

Hahahahahahahahaha!


Lets help all these poor misunderstood creatures carry out their religious duty. I expect every muslim to do his duty!!!!!!

To Somalia with thee!

WAIT!

According to all our top politicians, America is doing a better job of "integrating" Muslims than our European and Canadian counterparts.

COULD THEY BE WRONG ?

jsla.

asking your doctor in how to integrate cancer would be pretty much the same as integrating muslemans into our societies.

Agrippa -

"It is their coming back I have a problem with."

Well, some of them obviously won't be. :)

I say we export all we can to help out. Reserve an entire United Airlines 757 and send it as often as we can land at Mogadishu.
The Ethiopians shoot first and ask questions later - exactly what martyrdom is all about.

Saw "Yellow Submarine" recently. The Mo-Foes remind me of the Meanies a LOT. Banning music and turning the world ugly wherever they go. And they have these Turks fighting for them too.

Posted by: MeanieMo [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 6, 2007 1:28 AM

Does anyone else find it ironic that even though only 20% of the population of the United States has a passport, these Somali fighters had 'several'?
