| IntelWire Recovers Recently Arrested Terrorist's Defunct Pre-9/11 Website |
| 2004-08-07 |
| From IntelWire, an article by J.M. Berger .... INTELWIRE has recovered two pages hosted on Azzam.com prior to the September 11 attack, which praised the Taliban and defended the sect's decision to protect Osama bin Laden against U.S. extradition attempts. The pages, recovered from the Internet Archive, are mirrored here for the use of news media and terrorism researchers. ... The first page, an index of Taliban-related material, bears the headline "Taliban: Allah's Blessing on Afghanistan." It contains pictures and links to various articles about the Taliban, as well as to a page titled "What you can do to help the Taliban (01 Feb 2001)." That page could not be loaded as of this time of this update. The second page defends the Taliban's policy of harboring Osama bin Laden, despite U.S. attempts to apprehend him for trial. ... Babar Ahmad was arrested in the U.K. and faces extradition charges related to publishing the Azzam Web site, soliciting funds for use in terrorism and conspiracy to support terrorism. U.S. authorities also said Ahmad was found in possession of classified information sent by an active U.S. Navy enlistee stationed with a carrier group in 2001. As reported previously on INTELWIRE, al Qaeda is known to have infiltrated the U.S. military both before and after the Gulf War, and the terror network actively recruited U.S. veterans during the early 1990s with the assistance of at least one active duty serviceman. |
