So, underwear bomber originated from Yemen right?

Then all these packages last week, now this?

Yemen Muslim cleric al-Awlaki in US death threat video

www.bbc.co.uk...

"A radical US-born Yemeni Islamist cleric has called for the killing of Americans in a new video message posted on radical web sites.

Anwar al-Awlaki said no permission was needed to kill Americans as they are from the "party of devils".

It comes shortly after authorities intercepted air cargo bombs sent from Yemen to the US in a plot linked to Mr Awlaki.

The US has named Mr Awlaki a "specially designated global terrorist".

Investigators have linked Mr Awlaki to the US army base killings in Fort Hood, Texas, last year's Christmas airline bomb attempt, and the failed Times Square bombing in New York.

US officials say he is a leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, an offshoot of the militant network based in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
'Leaders are corrupt'

In the 23-minute message posted on Monday, Mr Awlaki called all Arab and Yemeni leaders "corrupt".

"Kings, emirs, and presidents are not now qualified to lead the nation, or even a flock of sheep," he said.

"If the leaders are corrupt, the scholars have the responsibility to lead the nation."

He was shown seated at a desk, wearing traditional Yemeni clothes with a dagger in his belt.

Last week, YouTube removed hundreds of clips of Anwar al-Awlaki's calls to jihad saying they violated a ban on hate speech and incitement to violence.

Last month, investigators working for New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, reported finding more than 700 videos in which Mr Awlaki appeared. The clips had garnered more than 3.5m hits.

Mr Awlaki, an American-born cleric of Yemeni descent, is said to be a on CIA hit list authorised by President Barack Obama.

In July, the US treasury department put Mr Awlaki on its terrorism blacklist and imposed financial sanctions on him.

US officials say Mr Awlaki helped recruit Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian accused of attempting to blow up an airliner as it flew into Detroit on 25 December 2009.

Maj Nidal Hasan, the US Army psychiatrist accused of killing 13 comrades in the Fort Hood shooting last year, sought religious advice from Mr Awlaki and saw him preach in the US state of Virginia in 2001, US officials say.

A student found guilty of attempting to murder MP Stephen Timms in east London was said to have been inspired by Mr Awlaki's online sermons."


Watch for war with yemen, very soon, but is false flag to follow? I guess they'll use this death threat and the packages for the reason to go to war? will that be reason enough?

S&F to bring this up friend


I noticed a load of reports coming to light on the news about Yemen this and Yemen that. Am I witnessing for the first time (To me) the propaganda machine starting to turn its gears?

I did recall another member highlighting where Yemen is strategically to other countries in the middle east.

All I can do is carry on watching the Lame Stream Media

Based on my former military exp., maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see the strategic " stronghold " of Yemen? I'm beginning to think that this alleged terrorist, and the alleged acts of violence is a yet another cover story issued by the media, to get the peoples " backing " for action.
I personally haven't seen any data, or FACTS that this person is in fact a terrorist. Just because the government says he is doesn't make it so?
As I have gotten older, I have come to the conclusion that if we the people cannot see for ourselves FACTS to prove any allegations, then it just becomes heresay. And heresay my friends doesn't even stand in a court of law!

I think it was to do with the surrounding or pressuring of Iran by having another U.S theatre of operations pop up. I must state that it was not my view, that was someone elses. I only brought that up as I thought it was relevant to the country being included in recent events.

now that you said that, another explanation has popped into my mind, also not mine, but someone else's.

someone on ats said it might be like a globalization of the world, country by country. send al-CIA-da to the countries that dont conform(in the ME) then use that as an excuse to take over said country

Apparently you are incapable of reading quoted remarks and then connecting that response to the remark in which it is a reply to. And for that, I'm sorry for you.

oh ok theres an article you're pointing to? because all i saw the first time was the map, i didnt realize there was an article if you close the map. you could have elaborated with your own response/thoughts. you know its in the t&c you have to put a coupla lines of text, thats why mods frown upon one liners.
