Binny's physician working with LeT to assist quake victims
2005-10-14
A Pakistani doctor who once treated Osama bin Laden is among hundreds of volunteers from an Islamic group who are participating in relief work in quake-hit areas of northwest Pakistan and Kashmir. "We have sent 50 trucks carrying relief goods to Kashmir and those areas of northwestern Pakistan where the quake killed thousands of people," said Yahya Mujahid, spokesperson for Jamat-e-Dawad group, which describes itself as a charity.

On Thursday, Mujaid said Jamat-e-Dawad had set up a field hospital in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistan's part of Kashmir, where the 7.6-magnitude quake caused massive casualties and damage. "Our people are also helping those affected by Saturday's earthquake in Indian-held Kashmir," he said. "It is also jihad (holy war, or struggle) to help calamity-stricken people."
"We gotta patch up our holy warriors and get them back to booming!" he added.
He said the group's main field hospital in Muzaffarabad is being run by Amer Aziz, a British-trained orthopaedic surgeon who was detained after the 9/11 attacks in the United States. He was suspected of links to militants, but was later tagged and freed.

Aziz has acknowledged in an interview with The Associated Press that he saw bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks and that the al-Qaeda leader was in good shape at the time.

Mujahid said Aziz immediately accepted his group's request when it asked him to be in charge of the field hospital. "Doctors and surgeons headed by Amer Aziz so far have treated 600 patients," Mujahid said. "Right now our priority is to save people and bury dead."

However, he did not say whether fighters belonging to Lashkar-e-Tayyaba were also helping them, although residents in Kashmir and Pakistan say initial help came from militants.
The terrorists will stand around and watch. This sort of work is beneath them.
A statement by Jamat-e-Dawad in Islamabad said it was using 100 mules to provide food, tents medicines and other relief goods to quake victims in several inaccessible areas of Kashmir. It said volunteers were also using motorboats to supply aid to people living near the Neelum River.

#5  I'd suspect that ObL wouldn't want the good doctor anywhere near him, now that everybody knows there was a connection. There's a-lways the chance that one of the doc's neighbors is a little low on cash, and is keeping an eye on where he goes.

#4  Binny's prob dead, but just in case... extract the good doctor's toenails and fingernails from him and beat his ass to a pulp. That's when the fun begins!

He'll tell us things he didn't even know he knew.

Oh, is that aginst the Geneva? Fuzzy legalities, formalities as it were.

Well just hire some contractors to do the job in Pakiwakiland, I could suggest a few.

Then RFID his monkey ass and see what kind of hole he crawls back into and JDAM that Mofo.

Sounds like a nice weekend out for some Blackwater boyz to me.

#3  What I'm wondering is how much of this aid is U.S. in origin.

Someone should seize this Aziz guy, bring him back to Gitmo, and extract Binny's location from him.
