CIA Drones Targeting “White Jihadis” In Pakistan…

ISLAMABAD — The July 5 killing of yet another white jihadi commander in an American drone strike in the North Waziristan tribal agency of Pakistan — an Australian national this time — has given credence to earlier reports by Western intelligence agencies that the Pakistan-based al-Qaeda network is recruiting Western Muslim converts to widen the pool of potential terrorists beyond traditional Asian and Middle Eastern radicals who could foil racial profiling and carry out terrorist attacks in the West.

According to Pakistani media reports, the white jihadi killed by two missiles fired by a drone at around 11 pm on July 5 in Mir Ali area of North Waziristan has been identified as Saifullah, who used to serve as a key aide to Osama bin Laden and had been working in tandem with al-Qaeda’s chief military strategist, commander Ilyas Kashmiri, who has been reported as killed in a drone attack on June 3.

Saifullah, 50 years old, has been described as a middle-ranking al-Qaeda leader, though little more is known about him. The deadly strike actually targeted a guesthouse and also killed five other militants. The Mir Ali area, where Saifullah was killed, is in the sphere of influence of Abu Kasha al-Iraqi, an al-Qaeda leader who serves as a key link to the Taliban and supports the external operations network of al-Qaeda, now led by Dr Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Pakistani Taliban leader Hafiz Gul Bahadar, who is still considered by the Pakistani establishment as a “good Taliban”, and the Haqqani network led by Jalaluddin Haqqani’s elder son Sirajuddin Haqqani, also operate in Mir Ali, a known hub for al-Qaeda’s military and external operational councils.

An increasing number of Westerners have traveled to the Pakistani tribal areas in recent years to join the so-called jihad that al-Qaeda is waging against US-led allied forces in Afghanistan. Among the Westerners are Americans, Britons, Germans, French and Australians.

The al-Qaeda-trained white jihadis have formed their own contingents in North Waziristan and are fighting alongside al-Qaeda militants on the Pak-Afghan border. The white jihadis living in North Waziristan wear local clothes and travel in small groups in vehicles or on motorcycles, flaunting weapons including assault rifles, rocket launchers and rocket-propelled grenades.

    Drones – America’s version of asymmetric warfare. It must be spooky sitting in your tent on your camel fur rug wondering when a jdam gonna come smoking in.

    “White Jihadis”

    ——-

    This explains some of the propaganda i’ve been seeing lately:

    “Dude! Islam will like…like take over the world!”

    White Jihadis…don’t dance to the music if you can’t pay the piper. Tough nuts.

    I wonder if this means we’ll see Bill Ayers get bombed anytime soon.

    Looks like the CIA has some very good intelligence lately. They’ve been hitting these little groups of muzzie bastards all over the place.

    Maybe they just stopped sharing intelligence with the Pakistanis.

    Drones are great but doesn’t replace the soldier on the ground.

    Quite frankly, I want to see my federal Tax dollars at work from all of that I had contributed to the NUCLEAR deterrence program. I look at this way, we will just be changing their major export from Opium to Radioactive glass .

    Now, how many of you ever heard of anyone getting hooked on Radioactive Glass? It’s non-habit forming! (I rest my case.)

    Hey, all we need is Bill Ayers cell phone number. The government already has access to all phone switches in the USA (by law so they do not need a court order) The phone companies have provided them with an access port so they don’t even have to ask. . They can find him using his cell phone, upload the lat-long to a Jdam and let if fly. How do you think they are killing all the Muzzies? Do you really think that those reports you see about them blowing themselves up are true? Hell no, they trace their cell phones and use that to lock in on them. Who do you think makes the cell phone station equipment, surely not the Muzzies as they never invented anything.
