| Johnny Jihad has company. An Australian al Qaeda has been captured by the Northern Alliance. The 26-year-old caucasian male, who also trained with Islamic groups in Kosovo and Pakistan, was arrested around December 9. The man traveled to Europe in mid-1999 to join the Kosovo Liberation Army, then moved to Pakistan where he trained with the Lashkar-e-Taiba, one of dozens of Islamic groups fighting to wrest control of Muslim-majority Kashmir from India. During 2000 he went to Afghanistan where he undertook training with al Qaeda. Sounds like a real nice fellow. Hope he's severely injured. (Thank you, Damien!) |
