Qari Hussain Mehsud, a senior deputy to Hakeemullah Mehsud (pictured above), has taken credit for the Dec. 30, 2009 suicide attack that killed seven CIA operatives and a US civilian on Combat Outpost Chapman in Khost province. From The Associated Press:
Hussain said a "CIA agent" contacted Pakistani Taliban commanders and said he'd been trained by the agency to take on militants but that he was willing to attack the U.S. intelligence operation on the militants' behalf. He did not specify the nationality of the "agent." "Thank God that we then trained him and sent him to the Khost air base. The one who was their own man, he succeeded in getting his target," Hussain told an AP reporter who travelled to see him in South Waziristan on Friday. ( three days after attack. G ) The region is where Pakistan's army is waging a military offensive aimed at dismantling the Pakistani Taliban.
Afghan Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid had earlier said the attack was carried out by an Afghan Army officer. SOURCE:

"According to one of the club's guards, the CIA employees, dressed in Afghan uniform were in the the club discussing as an army officer entered the club and set off his explosive-packed vest, killing and injuring all inside the club.
In fact, it is not the first time that the Afghan military people, out of true Islamic feelings and inspiration, carry out such frontal attacks on the infidel invaders;"
Our Paradigm Intel
Our intel indicates the Taliban C2 was out of the loup on this suicide bombing.
They didn't train him, and maybe some lower level Taliban set it up without prior approval
or notice to above, with out expectation of success or without knowing who the final target would be.
The Taliban are reacting post attack based on news reports, and trying to take
credit for a rogue or spontaneous operation.
Taliban C2 had no advanced warning or hand in the operation.
It was as much of a surprise to the Taliban leadership as it was to the CIA.
And post attack the Taliban have been scrambling to make it look
like they were in charge.
Training Moslem children to become suicide bombers.
The children were from the local area. He says the parents would send them thinking they were getting an education and, more importantly, free food. "But they don't know what kind of religious education their child is being put through." The ( Paki ) military says that the compound could house some 200-300 children.
Nawaz Kot, Pakistan (CNN) -- "When we got to this compound it was shocking for us," Lt. Col. Yusuf tells us, standing in the middle of what the Pakistani military says was a brainwashing center -- for children.
It was here, according to the Pakistani military, that children aged 12 to 18 were turned from innocent youngsters into cold-blooded killers, willing to blow themselves to bits as suicide bombers.
The discovery of the compound was first reported in Pakistani media last month. Yusuf says his unit took it over after a three day battle with militants.
The images may appear simple. But for the children from this part of Pakistan they are captivating. They grow up in abject poverty surrounded by dirt-colored mountains with treacherous gullies and valleys with no exposure to the outside world. They are gullible and easily manipulated.
Part of the compound consists of four rooms -- each wall adorned with brightly colored paintings in clear contrast to the barren and harsh landscape surrounding it. The children were told that this was what awaited them in heaven.
Each of the images has a river flowing through it. Some have people playing in the water. Others have women lining the banks.
The military says that the children are told that these are rivers of milk and honey, that the women are the virgins that await them in heaven. That the children were told that they will live in the company of the holy prophet and be served feasts
"They [the militants] say life is a waste here and if you do a good thing you will go to heaven, immediately to heaven. For someone who does not have anything to look forward to, who does not have any opportunities and is living a wretched life, this sort of thing comes as a big incentive," Hussein explains.
He says the children end up believing that their life in this world is worthless, that life only starts in the hereafter. The Taliban is offering them a fast track option to paradise, a longed for escape from their daily reality surrounded by violence.

CIA used to just be doing a job, NOW its personal.
From our sources inside the Beltway.
Before there were about 250 UAV sorties a day over AfPak. After CIA killings the count last week => over 600 a day now and climbing, particularly over Afghanistan. Before we might have 2-3 UAVs working a strike, now we have 4-5 on each strike and enough UAV's everywhere 24/7 that their presence no longer signals to the muj that a strike is on.
More UAVs on the way. Also a new secret Mini Hornet killer UAV, Targets individuals and very small groups. Taliban admin and C2 to come under constant strikes. Strikes more surgical and will increase by an order of magnitude.
CIA very pissed. CIA Vows Revenge for Suicide Attack
Feb 23, 2009 ... MIRANSHAH: The Taliban in Waziristan announced forming a 'Shura Ittehadul Mujahideen' (Council of United Mujahideen) on Sunday to wage jihad ... warintel.blogspot.com/2009/02/council-of-united-mujahideen.html
But why did Al Qaeda’s small franchise - which formed in Saudi Arabia in 2003, staged a bombing spree, fought losing gun battles in Saudi streets, but gained strength after a 2006 jailbreak in Yemen, where it has relocated - launch an “external” operation against the U.S. homeland?
Terrorism analysts are wondering what the answer to this question may be, and “so are we,” a top White House aide told me Sunday.
So for whatever Team Obama is certain of, in terms of the suspect’s ties to what had previously been a regionally focused terror group, they are much less certain why AQAP is suddenly trying to upstage “core” Al Qaeda, headed by Bin Laden, with a U.S. strike. Past attacks by AQAP had targeted U.S. interests such as our embassy in Sanaa - which Obama closed on Sunday
Horn one:
Because of the huge number of drone attacks, some of them close to Binny,
the al Qaeda is trying to refocus USA on Yemen to get some respite in Afpak.
They hope this will turn USA attention from the unrelenting drone attacks
and deaths of its Cadre.
Horn Two:
al Qaeda leader ship binny and Big Z have escaped Afpak and the unrelenting
drone attacks. They have escaped to Yemen. And are directing International
Ops under less USA Intel agencys monitoring in Yemen than in Afpak.
Binny and big Z taking a vacation and have created and are directing Ops.
We are watching key indicators that will point to one horn or the other.
UPDATE:
Killing the 7 CIA agents just ramps up the heat in Afpak by
an order of several magnitudes.
If al Qaeda was trying to switch the heat to Yemen, killing
7 CIA agents contra indicated, but it may have been to juicy
a target to resist. ( paradigm intel points to the Taliban C2
in the dark about the CIA bombing till after the Fact. see below. G )
If Binny and big Z are in Yemen killing the CIA agents,
would fit that paradigm without difficulty.
Further indications may be picked up in the official Terrorist
response to the Killings.
UPDATE: If al Qaeda leadership isn't out of Afpak, they will be, killing the CIA will increase the heat on them several magnitudes. The next best developing area for the Terrorist is Yemen, Somalia geo. Read: Taliban surprised at CIA bombing.

CIA base was our primary UAV targeting base, central clearinghouse of informant reports. Attacker was a familiar, well connected to the Haqqani's and a legit HV asset. The station chief trusted him and personally escorted him in. Just a fatal error in judgement.
The informant had been on the base many times and was being personally escorted by the CIA base station chief. The informant was a double-agent and had been feeding legit targeting to CIA for over a year. The Haqqani's are that ... ruthless, they sacrificed their people to Hellfire strikes, in order to vet the informant......
After getting such deep cover, the informant indicated that he was ready to give up AQ hvt's, including bin Laden, and the whole Haqqani network. ........... By doing so, the informant was able to draw in more than just his handler for a meeting where he was going to lay out all he knew.
So, some of the intel team assembled, including a Jordanian intel officer, and the informant, led past security by the station chief, wearing an Afghan army officer uniform, detonated a bomb in their midst. He killed some of our most experienced in-country intel team.

Luckily some key team members were late and they will be able to pick back up right where the other 7 left off.
Pay backs are a Bitch. The operation resulted in minimal results
and maximum consequences.
The Taliban's stupidity always amazes me.
Just when I think they CAN'T get any more
stupid, they F**k up an Anvil.

We have discovered a list of the REAL Islamic Muhaheddin Martyrs. The list is around 400 Martyrs.
The list does not contain names of them all but includes a News notice of their Martyrdom.
"Innaa lillaahi maa akhathaa wa lillaahi maa A'taa, wa kullu shay-in 'indahoo li ajalin musammaa."
To these humble Jihads eternal life is to come, and we pray for God's mercy to be with the departed, in hopes that they may find peace and happiness in the life to come.
I'm confident their last words were "Laa ilaaha illa-Allah: I bear witness that there is no god but Allah."
In many cases they were buried in the clothes they died in. In honor of these Mujaheddin we can all say our own salat-l-janazah. Just take a moment at your computer now to say salat-l-janazah.
May Allah accept the burial condition of these holy Martrs regardless if they were buried on their side facing Mecca or not.
Sometimes in war things are difficult and beyond one's desires. humbly we remember Allah and His mercy, and pray for the deceased Martyrs.
In thier honor I will not wear a tie of jewelry for 3 days.
"The eyes shed tears and the heart is grieved, but we will not say anything except which pleases our Lord."
These Martyrs charity given during their life which continues to help others, knowledge from which people continue to benefit, and a righteous child who prays for him or her continues to benifit these brave Mujaheddin.
As noble it is to die in battle—that is, to die at the enemy’s hands in a just cause—so has it been considered shameful to willfully take one’s own life.
Shahadat, martyrdom is identified the exemplary ethical model of moral action in a show of struggle (jihad) for the sacred, manifested in the ultimate act of self-sacrifice.
The (male) martyr or shahidencountered the sacred by fighting against the enemies of the true religion; and in the process giving up his life in exchange for a higher, celestial existence. In this regard, it was not merely the event of death that identified martyrdom, but the very fulfillment of the duty of obedience to the will of God that brought one to the level of sacred.
They are in Paradise, where "beautiful mansions" and "maidens" await the martyr heroes.
The list of the Brave, HOLY martyred Mujaheddin 400+. Here( a MUST READ. G )
The $55 million earmarked for South Waziristan will be given directly to the FATA Secretariat to rebuild roads, develop water infrastructure, ...( what happened to the
I don't mean the Mudaheddin of the Taliban
or al Qaeda, Satans legions killing Muslim women,
children and bombing Mosques and market places,
suicide bombers.
I mean the true Islamic Mujaheddin,
fighting for the Ummah against the
Taliban and al Qaeda.
These are Afghan's own agent 007's.
Islams Holy Struggle against al qaeda
they are the warriors.
These brave men go to fight the Taliban
and al Qaeda without weapons or fear, but
are the Terrorist worst FEAR.
The concept of martyrdom (shahada) in Islam can only be understood in the light of the Islamic concept of Holy Struggle (jihad) and the concept of jihad may only be appreciated if the concept of the doctrine of enjoining right and discovering wrong (al-amr bi'l-maruf) is properly appreciated, and good and bad, [2] right and wrong, can only be understood if the independent divine source of righteousness, truth, and goodness (tawhid), and how the Message of the divine source of righteousness and truth has been honestly and properly conveyed to humanity through prophethood, are understood. Finally the divine message may not be fully appreciated unless the embodiment of this divine message, or the Model of Guidance, and the Supreme Paradigm (imama or uswa) is properly recognized.
It is rare to find from the ummah one whose face becomes red for the sake of Allah, and who becomes angry due to His limits being violated, and who gives all he has to help his religion.
So, imagine that someone fasts all day, prays all night, abstains from all worldly pleasures, and despite this never becomes angry or has his face reddened for Allah’s sake and doesn’t enjoin good and prevent evil, bombing Mosques, suicide bombers, killing women and children– such a man is the most hated of people to Allah and the least of them in religiousness, and those who fall into major sins are better with Allah than such a person.
And a trustworthy person told me that Shaykh al-Islam, the leader of the da’wah in Najd (Muhammad bin ‘Abd al-Wahhab), once said: “I saw some people sitting in the mosque with their Qur’ans, reciting and weeping. However, they didn’t enjoin the good if they saw it and they didn’t prevent evil if they saw it. I saw people sitting near them saying: “These are the source of benefit,” and I said: “These are the source of disgrace.” Someone heard me and said: “I can’t say they are a source of disgrace!” So, I replied to him: “They are blind and mute.”"
And this is supported by what some of the Salaf said: “The one who is silent about the truth is a silent devil, while the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil.”
And if the one who is stingy with his tongue from openly proclaiming the command of Allah to the Taliban came to know that he is a silent devil even if he fasts, prays, and is azahid, he would do all that he could to avoid being similar to Satan.
O Allah, I seek refuge with You from every action that angers the Merciful, and from every trait that makes us resemble al Qaeda or Satan or compromise on our religion with the people of doubts, hypocrisy.
And may peace and blessings be on Muhammad, his Household, and Companions.” ['ad-Durar as-Saniyyah'; 8/75-79]
Speak up and act against al Qaeda, Satan's mujaheddin.
Join Afghan's Secret Mujaheddin, crush Satan and his Taliban.
It does not matter what the Kafirs do, It matters what Muslims do.
The next International suicide bomber will be on a plane.
And the Paradigm Intel says US Intel misses him.
Today the suicide bomber trainers are looking for an obese
person they can convert to a suicide bomber in four months.
They have lists of potential dupes.
And all classified by key elements likely to pass
a background inspection. Wealth, appearance,
connections and family.
Because of the tradition of bacha bazi most of the suicide bombers are boys and young men. Whom are forgiven any thing they do when they become a martyr for al qaeda, Satan.
The suicide trainers use the boys for their own perverted pleasures.
I'll bet money they don't have any obese member on their list, so this requirement may take a while.
The new “whole-body imagers” are the latest answer.
And its just what al Qaeda is counting on.
“You’ve got to find some way of detecting things in parts of the body that aren’t easy to get at,” former Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff told The Washington Post. “It’s either pat-downs or imaging.” (wrong, G )
And those beliefs will cause the next bombing.
An Obese person could secret the PETN plastic explosive with
in their fleshy folds. And the “whole-body imagers” will miss
the bomb. won't see it under the skin.
The Saudi Prince just escaped a suicide bomber that had
the explosive up his ass. The Terrorist knew they would pat
him down and not use an x-ray machine on him.
The butt bomb has wires, and show up on a x-ray mach,
or with a wand. But “whole-body imagers” would miss the
butt explosive. And a dog might miss it also. And the Saudi
Security pat down missed the butt bomb.
The plastic explosive has no wires, and doesn't show up
on an x-ray.
Right now the bomb trainers are looking for a terrorist friendly
country with a “whole-body imagers” to test the obese methods
of hiding bombs.
Yemen caught a plastic bomber and let him go. Might
have been for a test somewhere.
Dogs, “whole-body imagers”, and pat downs can
miss a butt bomb.
“whole-body imagers”, a pat down and x-ray can
miss the PETN plastic.
So you must have the right combination of security
to catch both kinds of explosives, and NOT rely on
just any one scan, this will lead to a bombing.
So the terrorist will be matching the type of explosive
to the boarding technology at the local airport.
If the local air port had “whole-body imagers” and
dogs and pat downs and wands then they send in an obese
suicide bomber with plastic explosives hidden under the
folds of flesh. He can pass thru that security ok.
If the local air port had just “whole-body imagers”, pat downs
dogs no wands they could send a butt bomber. Who could
get by that security line up.
So the terrorist are doing recons on hub air ports
all over Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
Looking for a possible "good" combination of
security and matching the right explosive to get past
the security.
They have two methods;
one with wires inside the body
and one without wires or metal
out side the body.
And some combinations of security
will miss one or the other.

One last piece of Paradigm Intel,
The last 60 min of the flight the
passangers must remain seated
means the bomb will
be set off 61 min before landing.
And no blankets for the last 60 min
means customers will arrive cold thats
all, its not a security precaution, its a
"we gota do something" even if it doesn't
make sense.
High Value Targets killed
Since January 2008, the US strikes in Pakistan have killed 13 senior al Qaeda leaders and one senior Taliban leader. Eight were killed in 2008 (Abdullah Azzam al Saudi, Abu Zubair al Masri, Abu Jihad al Masri, Khalid Habib, Abu Haris, Abu Khabab al Masri, Abu Sulayman Jazairi, and Abu Laith al Libi); and six were killed in 2009 (Ilyas Kashmiri, Najmuddin Jalolov, Mustafa al Jaziri, Baitullah Mehsud, Osama al Kini, and Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan). In addition, 16 mid-level al Qaeda and Taliban commanders and operatives have been killed since January 2008. [ see list of al Qaeda and Taliban leaders killed since 2004, below ]
Interestingly enough, just over 27 percent of the HVTs have been killed in strikes in territories controlled by Mullah Nazir. The Pakistani government and the military have held up Nazir as a "pro-government Taliban leader" after he feuded with Uzbek fighters from the Islamic Jihad Union. But Nazir has repeatedly professed his loyalty to Osama bin Laden and Mullah Omar. [see chart 7, "Number of HVTs killed in territories of various Taliban factions"]
The data also presents some interesting results on number of strikes versus number of HVTs killed. Some leaders' territories have only hit only a handful of times, but those select strikes have clearly and effectively targeted HVTs. For example, even though there have only been eight strikes in Abu Kasha al Iraqi's territory (9 percent of all strikes), five HVTs have been killed there (15 percent of total). The same goes for Bajaur's Faqir Mohammad: two HVTs have been killed during the three strikes in his territories.
Civilian casualties are low
Despite the sharp increase in both the frequency and total number of casualties resulting from Predator strikes since mid-2008, civilian casualties have remained very low. Naturally, it is difficult to determine the exact number of civilians killed in Predator strikes for many reasons - including intentional exaggeration by Taliban spokesmen, and vague accounts by Pakistani media sources which frequently report that a certain number of "people" were killed in a strike, but rarely offer a follow-up report identifying which victims were civilians and which were militants. However, it is possible to get a rough estimate of civilian casualties by adding up the number of civilians reported killed from the media accounts of each attack. According to this method, a total of 94 civilians were reported killed as a result of all strikes between 2006 and September 29, 2009. [see chart 4, "Casualties from Predator strikes inside Pakistan: Civilian vs. Taliban/Al Qaeda"]
