Khorasan Group: Al-Queda Veterans In Syria Planning Attacks on US
[Image: 1y748i.jpg]

Zawahiri dispatched Al-Qaeda veterans from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Syria, to plan attacks on US. Evidently an attack was imminent. I guess when Obama said Al-Queda was defeated and on the run he might have been wrong. He did order this group to be bombed last night and seems to have succeeded. So I will give him credit for that.

Quote: JERUSALEM — A new terror organization has moved out of the shadows to take top place on the security threat list of Western countries.

Its name, Khorasan, was spoken publicly for the first time last week when James Clapper, director of U.S. national intelligence, referred to it in a talk at an intelligence conference in Washington. That public reference opened the way to briefings by other intelligence sources about the organization, which is led by a band of hardened jihadis from Afghanistan and Pakistan. The group’s primary focus is said to be attacks on American and other Western aircraft, which has catapulted them to the forefront of Western concern.

Khorasan has ties with the al Qaeda franchise in Yemen, which specializes in producing sophisticated devices intended to explode aboard aircraft, including explosive underwear and explosives in printer cartridges. All attempts to activate these devices have thus far failed.

Members of Khorasan have now linked up in Syria with the al Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front, which is among the militias fighting the army of Syrian President Bashar Assad. However, American officials believe that they were sent by al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri to Syria not to join in that fight but to attempt to recruit Europeans or Americans in the rebel camp. With their Western passports, such recruits, the militants believe, would find it easier to get by security at airports. While the identity of many of these Westerners is known, some are not known.

Western intelligence has known about Khorasan at least since January but there was no public mention of it for fear that its members would go to ground and vanish from the intelligence radar if they were aware of scrutiny. The leader of the group, according to American officials, is Muhsin al-Fadhli, a former close associate of Osama bin Laden. Al-Fadhli, 33, has been known to Western intelligence for about 10 years and was until recently head of the al Qaeda branch in Iran.

ERC, let me apologize for jumping the gun on you here. I was wrong. I didn't notice your comments on the matter above the quoted section in your original post and spoke too quickly.

That being said, Obama never said that "Al-Queda [sic] was defeated..." as you claim. He's only ever said that they were on the path to defeat. He's also said that they've been decimated.

And he's pretty much right.

Evidently Obama feels the same way since that group was bombed.
