Cartels Help Terrorists in Mexico Get to U.S. to Explore Targets

When the next islamic terrorist attack occurs just remember who ordered the borders open...... the kenyan.

bill clinton is directly responsible for 9/11 after saying "NO" to a request to kill Osama bin Laden when US Forces had him in their sights prior to 9/11.

The next islamic terrorist attack on US soil will be because of a spineless moron that goes by the name of obama.

This is the very reason why we need a Trump.





Cartels Help Terrorists in Mexico Get to U.S. to Explore Targets; ISIS Militant Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir Among Them

APRIL 26, 2016

Mexican drug traffickers help Islamic terrorists stationed in Mexico cross into the United States to explore targets for future attacks, according to information forwarded to Judicial Watch by a high-ranking Homeland Security official in a border state. Among the jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso, Texas. Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen and has lived in Mexico for more than a year, according to information provided by JW’s government source.

Now Khabir trains thousands of men—mostly Syrians and Yemenis—to fight in an ISIS base situated in the Mexico-U.S. border region near Ciudad Juárez, the intelligence gathered by JW’s source reveals. Staking out U.S. targets is not difficult and Khabir actually brags in an Italian newspaper article published last week that the border region is so open that he “could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or in Arizona in the space of a few hours.” Foreign Affairs Secretary Claudia Ruiz, Mexico’s top diplomat, says in the article that she doesn’t understand why the Obama administration and the U.S. media are “culpably neglecting this phenomenon,” adding that “this new wave of fundamentalism could have nasty surprises in store for the United States.”

This disturbing development appears on the Open Source Enterprise, the government database that collects and analyzes valuable material from worldwide print, broadcast and online media sources for the U.S. intelligence community. Only registered federal, state and local government employees can view information and analysis in the vast database and unauthorized access can lead to criminal charges. Updated data gathered on Khabir reveals he’s 52 years old and was ordered to leave Kuwait about a decade ago over his extremist positions. Khabir is currently on ISIS’s (also known as ISIL) payroll and operates a cell in an area of Mexico known as Anapra, according to the recently obtained information.

I wonder if it's too late in a way.

Looking at how IS is getting hammered hard, the downside is where do the foreign fighter cockroaches who survive scatter to once the white phosphorus lights go on?

Back home?

I reckon there's a fairly good chance we could see some Paris type attacks happening again this summer in Europe as well as in Asia(Indonesia/Philippines) via IS foreign fighters running home via ratlines.

And while the US has managed to mostly avoid it via quiet hard work by a few and the luck of geography, I don't think this will last forever.

I'm no insurance actuary(but I reckon it would be pretty cool to hire some actuaries to run numbers of terrorist attack risk), but I like thinks simple:

IS is on the back foot, but in possession of considerable financial resources, considerable numbers of foreign fighters(made it there, gained skills, and can make it home via ratlines), and non-permissive havens to plan/train for foreign fighters returning home operations.

Combine that with a porous southern US border where it's not just drug money but human trafficking money(illicit ratlines) combined with dangerously politicised federal border policy.

Risk of a successful attack goes up for the US.

Cause/effect.

Unintended consequences....turn on the white phosphorus lights, and the cockroaches head home to Europe and Asia....hopefully not the US....but I reckon the risk of a high profile attack or two this Summer would surely be going up.

The connections between the cartels and Islamic extremist groups are documented and verified. Is that no enough to begin Combined targeting with our Mexican counter parts? We have sufficient methods to avoid insider tips (to an extent) with these NORTHCOM and SOUTHCOM counter-terrorism forces and a few Unaccompanied, Advise, and Assist operations against these camps would go a long way. I understand there are severe limitations working with their commandos given the known level of corruption, however we can not stand for the fostering of an enemy safe haven so close to our borders.

As for IS, I fear that their inevitable ground war defeat will only push them back into the Latent / Incipient phase with a treasure trove of money and external operatives ready to strike back at the loss of their caliphate. Mosul and Raqqa will fall, but then what?

Fighting insurgencies isn't a simple game nor one that can be one with only bombs and bullets. I hope our containment strategy following the ground war is sufficient to prevent spectacular loss of innocent lives.

In their view there are no innocent lives. As long as we hold to that notion we will never win.
