Hambali Interrogated in Secret
2003-08-16
Expands on yesterday's post...
Al-Qaida’s alleged Asian mastermind is being interrogated at a secret location by U.S. investigators, Thai officials said Friday.
What, they want us to televise it on Al-Jismra?
Hambali, an Indonesian whose real name is Riduan Isamuddin, had been in Thailand more than a month when he was arrested following a tip off, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra said. ``We had been following Hambali for several days and it happened that we just arrested him,’’ Thaksin told reporters.
"Lands o’Goshen! Next thing we knew, WHAM, he was in the slammer!"
``Right now we are in the process of interrogating him with the allied countries. I cannot say where,’’ Thaksin said. He refused to elaborate or say whether the 39-year-old Hambali was still in Thailand. Military sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Hambali, was handed over to U.S. authorities and flown out of the country on Wednesday.
Gitmo, please let it be Gitmo!
Bagram. Or maybe Aleppo...
Several Southeast Asian governments said they also wanted to question the man suspected of being the operational head of Jemaah Islamiyah. Hambali was arrested Monday at an apartment building on the outskirts of Ayutthaya, a major tourist attraction with its dozens of ancient Buddhist temples. Thaksin said the arrest came after a tip from residents. ``We arrested the suspect after people notified police about the appearance of the foreigner. And after we checked his passport, we found that he’s the one that’s wanted by several countries,’’ Thaksin said, according to Thailand’s state radio network.
That would seem to indicate that they had at least some of his false passports or aliases on record...
Plainclothes officers smashed down the door of Hambali’s one-room apartment and took him away after a violent struggle, residents in the building told The Associated Press.
"Sir, it looks like the arrest was a tad violent."
"Indeed. Well, slap another beefsteak on his eye and commence questioning."

Hambali had lived in the building, where all the other residents are Buddhists, for only two weeks, the other tenants said.
It was prolly Hambali muttering under his breath, "kill all the damned infidels, die, die, die" that made the neighbors suspicious.
Hambali is suspected in a number of attacks blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah, including the Aug. 5 bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta that killed 12 people and the October 2002 bombings of nightclubs on the Indonesian island of Bali that killed 202 people. Authorities also say Hambali is connected to the Sept. 11 plot, although whether he played a direct role is unclear.
Guess we’ll just have to drag it out of him!
Bali’s police chief, Maj. Gen. I Made Pastika, who led the inquiry into the nightclub bombings, said Hambali was in U.S. custody and had not been brought to Indonesia. Hambali is also wanted by Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines.
They can have what’s left after we’re done.

#9  Hello all!

I came late to this party (damn those time differentials!!!)

Well, I'd like to say: hear hear! hoorah for all of the above!

.com, Celissa! yep right on! Frank G - I'd pay!, Al-aska, Yes, that is my thoughts exactly! Why waste medical testing on animals when you get better results from human dregs like this?

#8  Recycle, I say. Remember that we are getting short on medical test animals. Maybe cosmetics testing, heh heh.....Or something a bit more dashing, like maximum contaminant levels for toxic compounds. You know, a source of innocent merriment.......

#7  I bet you could charge $2 a pop to Aussies willing to help interrogate him and solve our California budget deficit. Any thoughts, Anon1?

A colostomy bag

Made from a pig bladder, preferably.
Oh, and a limp. Definitely a limp.
he should be very fucked up physically

Ah, I see you have that covered. Great minds think alike, and all that...

#1  Al Guardian? Islam Online. Al Jizzwadi? PakiWookieNews? Steve, old boy, I think you've hit the lap limit and need to come in for a pit stop. I have the Clinical Psych all lined up for your evaluation and we have a new wardrobe picked out: a kinda rugged set of "shirts" (all extra-long sleeved - in a slightly off-white - leather bits, buckles, very butch - you'll love 'em), flip-flops, silk jammy-bottoms, the whole Hugh Hefner kinda rig, with that little "extra" something, y'know? You've been in enemy territory far too long. Please phone home...

Maj. Gen. I Made Pastika
So did I! Was it good for you?

As for Al Guardian's dipshit story title ("...In Secret!") Oooooohhh! Call AI immediately! They can't even play their agenda game well. Squirrels. I wonder if their average reader, and this is where my concern comes in, Steve (BEG), even realizes that the title bit is unnecessary scare shit -- of course he's at an undisclosed location for questioning. Doofs.

I hope they heat up the pokers extra-hot for the Ham-Man and he sings like the entire chorus of Carousel. Gloves off. When they're done with him and have extracted every drop from his brain, I hope they then hand him over to ol' Maj. Gen. I Made Pastika for another round of fun or three. Singapore can certainly have a shot, too. They've been a big help. Malaysia can go fuck a coconut tree - Mahathir is one of them would likely engineer his "escape" - asshat Izzoid fuckwad.

If he survives Indo and Sing, then we should send his ass back to Gitmo (Oooooooohhhhh, Gitmo!) so he can be used as an object lesson for the others. For this to be effective, he should be very fucked up physically. A colostomy bag - with a demonstration of its use and care, should be the first order of biz for the other Gitmo (Oooooooohhhhh, Gitmo!) cretins when he returns.
