Passports linked to 9/11 found along Afghan border

Passports linked to 9/11 found along Afghan border

By NAHAL TOOSI (AP) – 19 hours ago

SHERWANGAI, Pakistan — Pakistani soldiers battling their way into a Taliban stronghold along the Afghan border have seized passports that may be linked to 9/11 suspects, as they confront an enemy skilled in operating in a mountainous terrain with endless ways to wage a guerrilla war.

The military on Thursday took foreign and local journalists for a first look inside the largely lawless territory since it launched a ground offensive here in mid-October. The U.S.-backed operation is focused on a section of the tribal region where the Pakistani Taliban are based and are believed to shelter al-Qaida.

Soldiers displayed passports seized in the operation, among them a German document belonging to a man named Said Bahaji. That matches the name of a man thought to have been a member of the Hamburg cell that conceived the 9/11 attacks. Bahaji is believed to have fled Germany shortly before the attacks in New York and Washington.

The passport included a tourist visa for Pakistan and a stamp indicating he'd arrived in the southern city of Karachi on Sept. 4, 2001.

2. Yes, we all know you don't have to believe anything you don't want to.
Meanwhile, the rest of us in the real world look at each other and sigh.

5. Why do America's big Terror Incidents All Pass Thru Hamburg Germany first?

Some more links to Germany

Oklahoma City Federal building bombing : Elohim City agent provocateur Andreas Strassmeir came from Hamburg Germany to the USA where he took up with American civil war reenactors and militia members.

World Trade Center 1993 bombing : Egyptian WTC bombing Agent provocateur and CIA asset Ali Mohamed had been stationed in Hamburg Germany while working for CIA.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali_Mohamed

9/11 Attacks : Many of the 9/11 hijackers including lead hijacker Mohammad Atta(agent provocateur?) were in Hamburg before they moved to the USA to train in flight schools run by German, Austrian, Dutch and Swiss pilots in the months before 9/11. Atta was asked to come to Hamburg Germany from Egypt to go to school by a German couple.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_atta
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/hijacker-flew-over-bonn-military-sites-630898.html

While in Germany they met with another mysterious provocateur on a German train who told them to travel to the U.S government protected "Terrorist Paradise" called Pakistan where they should meet up with a guy named "Umar al Masri" and eventually the ultimate agent provocateur Osama bin Laden who would coach them on being terror patsies for corrupt states engaged in proxy wars.

'"Umar al Masri" turned out to be a nonexistent person. The name was a code word that instructed members of the Taliban office to escort the men to Kandahar, where they were convinced to join the al-Qaeda network and wage jihad against America. They met with Osama bin Laden himself and swore their loyalty to him. Mohammed Atta was chosen by Bin Laden as the leader of the group that would attack America; Atta would contact Bin Laden several more times before the attacks. The men then returned to Germany to enroll in flight training school, and later moved on to flight training schools in the United States at the recommendation of one of their German instructors.'

Iraq War Bogus Intel : German authorities would not let Americans question Curveball(the Iraqi exile who helped sell lies about Iraq WMD in order to help draw U.S. into Iraq war). In fact the head of the German intelligence system at the time of the Curveball fiasco was the former Hamburg police chief who apparently didn't do enough to stop the Hamburg cell.

"During the interrogation period, Curveball's BND case officer remembered the bad old days and refused to allow the Americans to interview his source. It was a matter of pride for him and his colleagues. So they came up with a silly lie - that Curveball spoke no English and hated Americans. Actually he liked Americans. And he spoke better English than German. There was another problem at a higher level. After 9/11, the Bush administration repeatedly blamed German authorities for not stopping the Hamburg Cell led by Mohammed Atta. The head of the German intelligence system during Curveball was the former Hamburg police chief. And this guy deeply resented the notion that the Americans blamed him for 9/11. He didn't trust the CIA -- didn't like them -- and it really colored his thinking."

Something rotten in Hamburg?
