Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar is Dead

It has been speculated for a few days that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar – Al Qaeda’s chemical weapons expert is dead. According to a statement from Al Qaeda posted on radical Islamist website, it was confirmed that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, as well as three other “heroes” – as referred to by Al Qaeda – have been killed last week.

The statement doesn’t bear any details as to when exactly or how four Al Qaeda operatives aka “heroes” died, but the statement was signed by Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, leader of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan so it is considered to be believable.

This comes a week after one of Pakistani senior officials said they were near certain Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was dead after an airstrike lead by the US forces within the regions of Pakistan. Yousuf Raza Gilani – Pakistani Prime Minister said that US would have violated Paki sovereignty if the reports were true and the attack did in fact take place on Pakistani soil.

Sheikh Abu Khabab al-Masri – which is another name by which 55-year-old Egyptian Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was known – was on the 37 most wanted terrorists list of the US State Department with $5 million bounty on his head.

Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was an expert on chemical and biological weapons and ran training camps teaching oher terrorists and other extremists how to make explosives.

I guess this is when he’s gonna get rewarded with his 77 virgins, right?

 

Why There Were No Terrorist Attacks Against the US Since 9/11

Terrorist Attack on 9/11

Have you ever wandered why there hasn’t been another terrorist attack against the US since 9/11? It seems like Europe has been attacked by the terrorists few times since 9/11, yet even though USA is hated more than any of the European countries, there has been fewer terrorist attacks on the US soil that there has been in Europe. I do not have the answer to why, I’m just thinking aloud here.

So how come the USA have not been attacked by terrorists since 9/11?

One of the possible reasons is that US secret service busted all terrorist act attempts yet at the very beginning, before they were actually able to strike.

Another possibility is that terrorists find it easier and more effective to attack European (but not only, there’s also India and Philippines and other) countries because it’s easier to infiltrate their borders than it is with the US.

Or maybe it is that the USA got what due on 9/11 and now it’s time to strike others?

I think it attacking the USA has in fact become more difficult then it was before. It’s also a fact that being of Arabic descent raises red flags and is likely to put such person through enhanced “random” search.

Fact remains – they don’t really need to attack the US again, do they. Just look how much chaos this one attack caused. Everything is going well for them. They wanted the war and they got it. Now they can pick us apart one man at a time. It has damaged the US on many levels in the aftermath – economical situation is worsening, international position of the US has weakened, domestic front is all upside down. Their 9/11 aftermath is working just fine.

But then again – maybe the terrorists can see that the USA is doing enough damage to itself so they don’t even have to bother. US citizens are under terrorists attack from within…
