SCHLUSSEL EXCLUSIVE: NYC Tunnel Qaeda Plotter Had Strong Detroit Hezbollah, Palestinian Ties
Assem Hammoud, the ringleader of the Al-Qaeda plot to bomb several New York City tunnels and murder thousands of commuters, had strong ties to Detroit. And to Hezbollah.
Several of Hammoud's relatives in Detroit--most of whom share his surname--have been indicted in a series of Hezbollah schemes, including money laundering, cigarette smuggling, black marketeering, and a series of other illegal activities all aimed at funding Hezbollah. Hammouds convicted in cigarette smuggling include Mohamad and Chawki Hammoud (see here, also), Bassem Hammoud, and others--all of them from the Detroit Hezbollah Hammoud syndicate.
Reportedly, Assem Hammoud had contact with some of his Detroit relatives over the years and more recently when he was in Canada, engaged in taqiyah (deception of Infidels) with his Canadian lovelies (note the Islam-prohibited alcohol in the pic), just like the Al-Qaeda training manual recommends. He had a Canadian girlfriend, holds a Canadian passport, and just "loves life and fun," according to his mother. Sure, he does.
More might have been learned about Hammoud, his Al-Qaeda plot and its connection with his Hezbollah relatives in Detroit, were it not for the incompetence of U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III a/k/a "Abu Porno," President Bush's outrageous nominee for the U.S. Court of Appeals. Murphy and his staff sat on an indictment of several Hammouds and their Hezbollah pot FOR TWO YEARS! after the indictment was brought, enabling most of the Hammouds to flee the country back to Lebanon, flight that Murphy deliberately did nothing to prevent.
Hammoud, a Shia Muslim and member of Al-Qaeda, was also active in Hezbollah. This is important because it gives lie to the long-held misguided convention of FBI and CIA officials that Shi'ite Hezbollah and Sunni Al-Qaeda are at odds and don't work together. In fact, they have and they do, as we've detailed on this site. And this operation being planned for New York tunnels was also likely a joint Qaeda/Hezbollah plot, giving lie to claims from Hezbollah supporters like U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa a/k/a "Jihad Darrell" that Hezbollah is not a "global" terrorist group. It is and is a component of the Al-Qaeda network.
Among many other terrorist activities, Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda worked together in:
* the Khobar Towers bombing;
* training insurgent terrorists in Iraq;
* production of IED explosives used by terrorists in Iraq.
It is also significant that Assem Hammoud trained at Ein El-Hilweh, a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon. That is a Sunni camp, more evidence that Sunnis and Shi'ites are working in unison against the common enemy--us.
We might have been able to learn much more about Al-Qaeda's and Hezbollah's intertwinement . . . if U.S. Attorney Stephen Murphy III hadn't wantonly let Assem Hammoud's Hezbollah relatives flee the country over two years. Now, he's being rewarded with a spot on one of the highest courts in the land for it.
So what was that President Bush was saying about how "you're either on our side or the terrorists' side?!"

We need to get these issues addressed immediately and correctly, we need to quit pussy-footing around the real reasons these issues are occuring.

Debbbie flunkies like Murphy and Abu Moscowitz have it all figured out. They won't get promoted if they're disliked in the Arab and Muslim community. Our system weeds out Feds who might be effective against terrorists.

Fantastic reporting Debbie. You discern fact from fiction expertly. You are a laserbeam that blasts 'political-correctness' to pieces, and you've got spunk.
I try not to clump all Arabs together as terrorists or terrorist-supporters, but there's a tell-tale test that I apply to them. Where do they stand re: the Jews and Israel? If they begin with the 'occupation' rattle, then I know they're trash and sons of Ishmael, and they can go straight to Hades.
Everyone should read what God had to say about the Arabs in Genesis 16:12: "And he (Ishmael, forefather of the Arabs) will be a wild man; his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he will dwell in (violence or hostility) against his brethren."
I have about 2 hours of videotape that shows these jackals on the day that Arafat was to be buried. Did anyone see that? It was Genesis 16:12 come to life! How I wished for a JDam to fall on that pack of vermin, but instead the Jew-haters in the 'SS'tateDept hand over millions of US tax monies to these useless sand-dwellers because they're too dumb and too lazy to build a civilized society for themselves.
Debbie, you should start an internet radio talk program and make it hard-hitting and no-nonsense, just like your reporting? You could do stuff that others won't do, like make live phone calls to the jackals at the 'SS'tateDept, and ask them why they give tax money to terrorists!
I'd definately tune you in every day and if you need some assistants, who'll work for free, you can count me in.

Is this a serious comment?

This phony Muzlum, just as Mohammad Atta and his band of Islamic murderers, indulged in debauchery (wine, women, and song) contrary to allah's wishes (but she'll forgive them, anyway). But, in Islam, anything is allowed, even urinating on the Qur' an, as long as it advances the cause of islam.
As far as Biblical references go - let's quote a few from the Qur' an, shall we?
Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Qur’an:8:39 “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.”
Qur’an:8:39 “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).”
Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.”
Some religion of peace. LOL!

Lawman, you asked if my quoting of Genesis 16:12 was a "serious comment."
It was God Himself who spoke those words about Hagar's child and his descendants being perpetually a "wild man" or in some translations "wild jackasses" who would live in constant violence against their own kind and others.
There are other verses that pertain to the Arabs including my favorite ones, where the Lord predicts their future annihilation and destruction.
And of course, God is always right, since He is the Alpha and the Omega. A brief glance at the Arab world justifies Genesis 16:12 perfectly.
The Arab world is a chaotic mess of violence and hostility; always has been, always will be.
