Osama’s al-Qaeda ready for a fight ASIA TIMES:

By Syed Saleem Shahzad

ISLAMABAD – Command of al-Qaeda will be taken over by a select handful of leaders who had been chosen in advance of the death of Osama bin Laden, who was killed on Monday morning in a strike by Pakistani and American special forces on a compound in Abbottabad, about 65 kilometers north of the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
The death of the 54-year-old Bin Laden, who had a US$50 million reward on his head, is also likely to mark the beginning of a shift of the war theater from Afghanistan to Pakistan, al-Qaeda insiders tell Asia Times Online.
Asia Times Online contacts in the North Waziristan tribal area – a militant hotbed – confirmed that several meetings had already been convened in the town of Mir Ali to formulate strategies. They all confirmed an immediate and fierce retaliation against Pakistan and the breaking up of all ceasefire agreements with the Pakistan military.
The US had been on Bin Laden’s trail ever since he fled Afghanistan when American forces invaded the country in 2001 to oust the Taliban in retaliation for the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington; Bin Laden and al-Qaeda planned the attacks while guests of the Taliban.
“I can report to the American people and to the world, that the US has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden,” President Barack Obama, also the US commander-in-chief, said from the White House. “After a firefight, they killed Osama bin Laden and took custody of his body,” Obama said. “The death of bin Laden marks the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s efforts to defeat al-Qaeda.”
It his believed one of his sons, two of his wives and many aides were killed in the raid, which included helicopter gunships.
Bin Laden’s death was confirmed by Pakistani intelligence. Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha, the director general of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), said the ISI had been aware of the operation and was part of the whole process.
The US has put all its embassies on alert, warning Americans of al-Qaeda reprisal attacks. This corresponds with information obtained by Asia Times Online that Bin Laden’s death is likely to revive international terror operations against Western capitals that had been frozen following the great Arab 2011 revolt.
Late last month, Bin Laden warned that al-Qaeda would unleash a “nuclear hellstorm” if he were captured, according to classified diplomatic documents released by WikiLeaks.

  1. The reason why we won’t be seeing pictures is because OBL and the others were killed by their own security before they could be captured. Likely being shot in the head. The pictures would then show this to be the fact but could be then used to accuse us of doing it. Which, of course, we didn’t. It would seem the only one’s who are capable of unleashing a nuclear hellstorm at this time would then be the Pakistanis who were keeping OBL as their protected (as it were) guest. I guess we’ll just have to wait and find out on that one. Which is why I don’t live or work in a large city, or port city, or live downwind from one either.

  2. I am always amazed that the pronouncements of al-qaeda are treated as if they were from a “fringe group” by the west, even though they are spouting out the essential doctrines of Islam.

    Had these people worn the uniforms of the Nazis during WWII or the red stars of the Soviet Union during the Cold War, you bet that the west would have treated these threats with force. Military force at that.

    And Pakistan and Iran are the two most likely countries willing to give these “radicals” what they want: small-scale nuclear weapons that could fit into a suitcase.

    The west and the free world needs to understand that Islam is a political organization first and foremost. That is why the followers are so bent on conquest of the physical globe and not the “spiritual” one. Islam is the world’s oldest extant totalitarian political ideology.

    Remember that should al-qaeda or any other Muslim group ever use nuclear or biological weapons on someone. Then call your local political representatives and let them know.

  3. There are rumors that bin Laden bought one or two nuclear devices in the chaos after the Soviet Union fell, since nuclear weapons have to have regular maintenance to keep them usable if is highly unlikely that they would still work, if they do exist. In fact it is probably getting close if not past the date when the fissile material would have to be re-refined.

    Having said that it is close to a certainty that at some point in the future al Qaeda or some other terror group will use a WMD on the west, given Pakistan’s possession of nuclear weapons the long term may become much shorter.

    What I am really expecting the West to be hit with is one or more hot viruses from some bio weapon lab, several different types were suppose to have been stolen from the Soviets during the above mentioned chaos. Also Cuba and some other terror supporting nations have active bio weapons programs, I don’t know what types of diseases they are working with and if any have been weaponized but they are cheaper then nukes, easier to smuggle and if used properly will do more damage.
