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.



So now you also approve of torture as a means of obtaining "confessions"?

Perhaps. It depends on the situation and how you define torture.

He claims that he was whipped by the Saudis. We're not talking permanent
disfigurement, broken bones, cutting off fingers, attaching electrodes to
his nuts, etc... The man was smacked across the back a few dozen times
(alledgedly), and then copped to the charges of trying to assassinate Bush,
trying to create sleeper cells in the states, and trying to create mass
murder via terrorism.

He's guilty as ****. If he walks, then he's a perfect example of a criminal
beating our system "on a technicality".

I guess it is OK, the next time you get caught speeding, for the cop to beat

What? I thought you always carried a Glock on the front passenger seat...
Or was that a different dentist? )}


I had a handgun in my earlier years, but no longer own it. It was a .25
with the serial numbers scratched off the side that I got from my
grandfather (who is now deceased). He went to the local pub a lot, and got
to know the bartenders pretty well. Most of the guys tending bar back then
were off-duty policeman. It was not uncommon for some of them to carry
"throw-down" in case they shot an unarmed bad guy.

I never asked where the gun came from, but later in life it dawned on me
that it's probably not a good idea to carry around an unlicensed firearm
that had the serial number scratched off. My brother took it after
college...but I'm not sure even he owns it any longer.
