Assassin: The True Story of One of America's Most Successful Assassins. Robert J. Firth
Bandar over ten million bucks- a paltry sum he was more than happy to pay I'm sure!
While Congressional and law enforcement sources insisted to investigators that all available leads were pursued and no compelling evidence of Saudi involvement in 9/11 was established, other U.S. intelligence sources maintain that many fruitful areas of investigation simply reached (administration created) dead-ends before any final conclusions could be drawn. Of course, they are talking about legally provable conclusions. We really aren't constrained by that nonsense. If it smells, quacks and swims like a duck- we kill it!
These sources told us that some of the Al-Yamamah funds, including some funds that passed through the Riggs Bank accounts in Washington, (we have copies of the bank statements) financed a migration of Muslim Brotherhood members to the United States, throughout the 1980s and 1990s. (Many of these, over thirty, by the by, we located and took care of.) This of course, raises serious unanswered questions, particularly in light of the fact that the official staff reports of the 9/11 Commission featured a detailed debriefing of Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the purported mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, who admitted that he had been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood since he was 16 years old.
So how did all this turn out? I bet your dying to know? After picking the back door locks, of our Saudi beach house we made coffee and a light breakfast. Since stealing in Saudi will cost you a hand or maybe your whole arm, few Saudies take a lot of precautions to secure their homes. The lock they had installed was one you might use for an interior bathroom door. It had a round hole where if you pushed a nail or ice pick into it the lock opened.( duh!)
We waited at the house until there was enough traffic on the beach road south into Jeddah so that we wouldn't attract undue attention. We pulled out in a non-descript ten year old dusty brown Mercedes diesel and rolled onto route 271 south to Arafat Street hung a right and cruised slowly a few blocks west toward the sea. The trip to town was about thirty five minutes. We pulled into a gated home a few blocks north of the Jeddah Maternity and Children's hospital behind a high concrete wall at about nine thirty. The gates opened smoothly by an automatic remote pinned to the driver's side sun visor.
Our home away from home was cool with high ceilings and overhead fans, No servants of course, just the two guys who were working for our front company. They had determined that our target was in town staying at his nephews place about a block away. These assholes always think and feel they're safe when surrounded by their own people and in their own country. We like it that way. It makes it easier when they feel safe.
This was our second trip in the past year. The first was to sort out Abdul Aziz Bin Baz, a particularly hateful old Wahhabi asshole who had incited many of those who aspired to the killing of Americans. He was a proponent of the Salafi (also known as Wahhabism) form of Islam which preached death to any and all who didn't submit to his brand of Islam. He was the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia from 1993 until his (unfortunate) death in 1999. He died with his dick in his mouth with a little help at the ripe old age of 88. He should have been more careful about whom he invited to lunch- too sad. We sent his unflattering photo to the local and international media- The message was clear- fuck with America and you will die!
This trip our target was Moohammood Fukwad ben Asswad (of course, not his real name) -we can't release it at this time. Suffice to say, that he was the "murderous hatful SOB running the Salafist recruiting web sites. To understand our mission, you need to know a bit more about the nature of the enemy. We study this stuff on a daily basis. I'm sure that this is boring you all to tears but, there's no other way for you to get an inside picture of what real undercover assassination game is all about. So, suck it up and get with the program!
Germany's intelligence head recently said that like the UK, France and other western nations, Germany also faces a very high danger of its citizens returning to conduct terror attacks from Syria and Iraq where they are fighting in the ranks of the extremist Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS). He credits our target's web sites and social media broadcasts with successfully radicalizing many German citizens, mostly of Arabic decent- although many were born in Germany.
"We have to expect that these people will return and commit attacks here," acknowledged Hans-Georg Maassen, head of Germany's BfV domestic intelligence agency. He cited a "greater abstract risk" of attacks in Germany, reports Reuters. BfV estimates that no fewer than 400 German citizens have joined the bloodthirsty ISIS as it conquers large swathes of Iraq and Syria; in recent months, Maassen said, evidence has been received that five German citizens conducted suicide attacks in the region.
That number does seems very likely to increase, as BfV further estimates that roughly 43,000 Islamists currently reside in German, with members of the radical Salafist movement particularly gaining strength. There is a clear link between the successes ISIS has had so far in Iraq and the web activities here in Germany combined with the propaganda and canvassing activities aimed at young jihadists.
"What attracts people is the intense brutality, the radicalism and rigor. That suggests to them that this is a more authentic Islamic organization even than Al Qaeda," said Maassen. "Al Qaeda fades besides the Islamic State when it comes to sheer brutality." My thought is that many western Muslims play extremely violent computer games and the blood splattering and guts and gore flying around have inured them to the serious consequence of what such games are like in real life.
ISIS, as we know, has carried out numerous bloody executions, including the recent beheading of US journalist James Foley by a British terrorist. Likewise, it has conducted large-scale massacres and systematic rape, particularly against Yazidi minorities, where they are planning and carrying out massive genocide- even shooting infants in the face with their AK's- real barbarians! In response to the appalling security threat ISIS recruitment in Germany poses, and despite the disapproving response by thousands of crazed and angry Muslims in Germany, Angela Merkel proposed and passed a vote to send military aid to Kurdish forces battling IS in northern Iraq. The German opposition, for some crazy reason, tried calling for a debate in parliament, which wasn't successful.
In America, our target's web sites and social media, combined with the recruiting efforts of the radicals operating within our borders, have met with significant success. We have even seen American born South Florida young boys being used to commit suicide attacks. Our mission was more than justified. The webmaster was going down!
So, how do we do this kind of work? We generally spend about ten days studding all the Intel on a target, making action plans including building models and acting it out. After the op has been completed then it's back to the classroom for the next kill. Of course, the two days in the field actually ridding the world of these scum bastards is certainly a reward but, ask yourself, would you really want to join is? We're so far into the shit that there's no way out. We're here and will likely die here. Would you give up your comfortable safe lifestyle to be one of us- would you? I think that given a real choice, knowing what we know, you would pass. Am I right?
For example, I spent 2 years learning Arabic. I never learned to write it and I can only read some simple stuff, newspaper head lines and such. It's a difficult language to get right and getting it absolutely chrome plated right is the only way to get into this business. That comes first last and always. Could you and would you give up two years of your life to learn another language? I was 55 when I went to Arabic immersion training- a bit old to learn a new language and a painful experience. I hope my last...
What's it like? How about this, I spent night after night and day after day pounding the vocab and pronunciation into my head and training my voice to imitate perfectly the intonation and subtly of this ugly language, to recognize the various dialects and learn the idiom- fifty to a hundred words a day to memorize and learn to pronounce. I spent hundreds of hours watching Arabic TV, discussing and learning the culture and the politics and religion (actually, one in the same) with my instructors. What to do, what not to do to not offend Arabic sensibilities. Today, I can and have, wearing my beard and local dress, fooled many Arabs into believing that I'm the real deal. Of course, then I kill them- not always.
So, learn this. The most extremist Muslim movement today is Wahhabism (also known as Salafism). What you probably think, given that
