FBI warns of attacks if ?Blind Sheik? dies

Sheik?s wish: ?Most violent revenge?
Officials said the bulletin served merely as a reminder that Rahman had called for retaliation by terror sympathizers if he died in prison. It cited a May 1998 press conference where al-Qaida members distributed his last will and testament, in which Rahman pleaded for followers to ?extract the most violent revenge? should he die in U.S. custody.

The FBI did not have immediate comment on Thursday.

In a video in September marking the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, al-Qaida?s No. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahri, cited the continuing imprisonment of the sheik.


?I call on every Muslim to make use of every opportunity afforded him to take revenge on America for its imprisonment of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman,? he said.

If you execute him he becomes a martyr, if he dies of poor health (and I am quite sure he is getting the best care available) he becomes a martyr, so short of releasing him how does one deal with someone like this in the future if his death does indeed cause a major terrorist attack.

He's a convict in a supermax prison. He's medical care is almost nonexsistant. But perhaps you were being sarcastic and my s-meter is in need of adjustment.

If they attack...

If they do...

We will respond.

heh just pretend he's alive and you're all set.

Deportation via human cannon ball. If he hits the ground in his home country and lives, then he can be free. Otherwise, we gave him a fair shot.

I am quite sure he isn't getting the medical care someone on the outside with deep pockets or a good insurance plan gets.

So, just send him home to Egypt... let him die there.

Too easy? For the Bush Admin, I'm sure it would be...

The whole thing is just more fearmongering, anyway. The muslim brotherhood will do whatever they can to harm us, regardless of the Sheik's situation... and that likely won't be much, given that they're on the run everywhere, and that we're the mightiest nation on earth, geographically remote from their power base...

The ravings of madmen fill the air of many a cell.

By invading a country that had nothing to do with it.

Actually, the medical care in federal prisons is good, if not spectacular. From all indications, it's quite good at the Supermax facility- it's their showpiece, their dream facility- nothing but the best. State prisons vary rather wildly, depending... and you'd probably be lucky to get a bandaid in the Maricopa County lockup...

democrat or republican, whats the difference?

2007, incremental change, nothing new though some may say it is, it will be the same old ******, new toppings, and new guys wearing the hats, but underneath its the same ****** the other guy was serving.

I like it. I would make one small change though. Wrap him in triple layered pig skins to cushion his fall.....:evil:

Because we all know Bush doesnt need congress to signoff on anything right?
He just runs around with a checkbook with the name of USA on it paying the bills of the United States.

I heard our water bill was a bit late though. Damn Bush!

There is nowhere left to attack.

Unless you want to close your eyes and stick a pin on a map and then invade.

That comment made me lol.

I don't know if he's delusional or not, but he sure has painted himself into a corner.

"Because we all know Bush doesnt need congress to signoff on anything right? "

Unfortunately, past congresses have pretty much given the CinC a blank cheque when it comes to starting a war. Past commanders have, fortunately, not bitten off more than they cared to chew in that respect. Witness the invasion of Grenada, and Clinton's bombing campaign against Iraq...

Maintaining funding for an extended conflict is another story, but it's an easy sell if the other side gets the blame...

 

[ayabe]

well the guy wears a Santa hat pretty much all the time, put him in the sleigh somewhere in the northeast and let him freeze to death delivering presents to children.

 

[marincounty]

Parole him to Baghdad asap.
