According to the New York Post, Al Qaeda terrorists in Iraq planned to sneak into the United States with student visas and carry out a "devastating new round of 9/11-style attacks".
Lt. Gen. Michael Maples, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, recently submitted written testimony to Congress based on a classified report that revealed al Qaeda "was planning terrorist operations in the U.S."
Maples gave no details but sources told ABC the plot may have involved as many as 20 terrorists slipping in to the United States using student visas - just like some of the 19 conspirators who carried out the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks.The names of the suspects are known and they are being hunted in Iraq and other countries, ABC said. They were described as closely tied to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq who was killed last June 7.
Wild story, almost nothing to back it up and, oh yeah, isn't President Bush's speech defending his sending more troops to Iraq tonight? Hmmm. I guess the other New York papers just aren't as sharp as the Post. They missed this one entirely.
Fucking pathetic. Truly.
