Suspect Said to Admit Plan to Kill Bush

1 hour, 28 minutes ago

By MATTHEW BARAKAT, Associated Press Writer

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A Virginia man accused of plotting with al-Qaida to
assassinate President Bush has admitted his guilt on numerous occasions,
an FBI agent testified Tuesday.

Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, 23, admitted "multiple times" that he joined al-Qaida
while studying overseas in Saudi Arabia and discussed plans with the
terrorist network to assassinate President Bush, FBI agent Barry Cole
said. The agent also said the suspect talked about plans for a Sept.
11-type attack in which "hijackers would board planes in Great Britain
and Australia ... so they did not have to have U.S. visas."


"Once into U.S. territories they would fly into designated targets," he
said.


Abu Ali also discussed killing U.S. congressmen, soldiers and blowing up
naval ships in American ports, Cole said. He said Abu Ali's confessions
are corroborated by the admissions of an al-Qaida cell leader in Saudi
Arabia who surrendered to authorities.


Abu Ali, a U.S. citizen who grew up in Falls Church, is charged with
conspiring with al-Qaida to kill the president in a plan that prosecutors
said was hatched while he studied in Saudi Arabia in 2002 and 2003.


Cole said that the al-Qaida leaders gave Abu Ali two options: He could
either become part of a martyr operation or he could establish a cell in
the United States and he would "marry a Christian woman, assimilate into
the community and he would be provided operatives."



Did he confess freely, or under torture?

What does it matter at this point? All we know is that he is an admitted
terrorist. The rest will come out in court.

So don't sweat. He will get his day in court. Maybe he will be freed on a
legal technicality and go on to murder US citizens or even the POTUS. Maybe
then you will be happy.

A certain participant of this NG was recently when reporting the death of
over 100 Iraqi's from a suicide bomber.
