Al Rashedâs Disappearance Veiled In Mystery
Source: Jiahd UnspunAccording to Islammemo.com [the name doesn't resolve -Fred], it was unusual for the Arabic website Jehad.net, owned by Abd El Rahaman to publish a statement ten days ago stating "Al Rashed was arrested by the Western intelligence and we ask the brothers to invoke Allah to help him and please don't try to contact the site". The site is known to publish information on operations of the Mujahideen and has been hacked into on several occasions. One day after this mysterious message, the site disappeared. With further analysis, one has to question whether it is really reasonable for Jehad.net to publish this statement which would only make the situation worse for Al Rashed in front of western intelligence if he is really was arrested. Islammemo concluded that this statement was false and that it was put by hackers. Al Rashid may not have been arrested; he may have traveled to Pakistan, which he has done in the past to engage more correspondents for the portal, particularly those who speak Urdu to acquire more sources of news about this sensitive area. Only time will tell if and when the portal comes back online. In the meantime, one can only speculate whether Al Rashid is really in custody of if this is merely more disinformation to weaken the Muslim voices. I like to think he's been kidnapped by members of the Samoan underground and that he's being beaten on a daily basis just on GPs. More likely, he just went back to Pakland for a bit of home cooking and some jihad lessons. Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-02-13 |
