Clinton says 9/11 ringleaders are in Pakistan
(AP) – 3 hours ago

NEW DELHI — U.S. officials "firmly believe" that al-Qaida leaders who planned and carried out the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are hiding in Pakistan near its border with Afghanistan, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday.

At a news conference concluding three days of meetings, Clinton said Washington has told the Pakistani government what it believes about the location of al-Qaida leaders on its soil.

"With respect to the location of those who were part of the planning and execution of the attack of 9/11 against our country, we firmly believe that a significant number of them are in the border area of Pakistan," she said when asked about the U.S. view.

"We are actively looking for additional information that would lead us to them," she added.

The Pakistani government denies that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his senior lieutenants are hiding on its territory.

Bin Laden is believed to have fled into Pakistan from Afghanistan weeks after the U.S. military invaded Afghanistan in October 2001 in retaliation for the 9/11 attacks.

Al Qaeda leaders......?

Submitted by Rod Owers on Sat, 07/25/2009 - 01:44.

What, is it the board of a portable john service, or the regular porcelain kind?

"Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet". A very common and widespread use of the word "Al-Qaeda" in different Arab countries in the public language is for the toilet bowl. This name comes from the Arabic verb "Qa'ada" which mean "to sit", pertinently, on the "Toilet Bowl". In most Arabs homes there are two kinds of toilets: "Al-Qaeda" also called the "Hamam Franji" or foreign toilet, and "Hamam Arabi" or "Arab toilet" which is a hole in the ground. Lest we forget it, the potty used by small children is called "Ma Qa'adia" or "Little Qaeda".

So, if you were forming a terrorist group, would you call yourself, "The Toilet"?

I was just thinking of Khalid Sheik Mohammed and his 9 lives, too.

Maybe the 19 hijackers will even be resurrected and found in Pakistan with bin Laden. LOL.

Oh, wait. That's not so funny because some of them ARE known to be alive.

will follow wherever Zbigniew Brzezinski wants to lead. Part up Pakistan so they cannot assist China. Use the "enemy image" of Bin Laden to fuel American will and anger. Z. Big. is like Sanjuro in Yojimbo - playing one side off against the other, awaiting the time of his own gain while either side destroys one another - yet he displays no signs of morality and kindness, right and wrong. We are stupid to follow such a man or his minions, or to believe his gamesmanship. He along with others constitute the evil drivers of society, a purposely blind society; a tool, in the hand of greedy, careless people bent on destroying the very tool they use for their own gain.

We not only opened up the airspace for the flight, we loaded up C-130s with 1,000 of his Taliban friends so he wouldn't get lonely in P-stan.

We've always wanted to go to war with Pakistan.... and here, the very al-Qaida leaders we've been looking for are there.

since the big guy himself, OBL is supposedly dead already according to Bennazir Bhutto ... of course she's dead too, so that can't really be confirmed by her again.
