BAGHDAD, Iraq – Al-Qaida in Iraq’s leader, in a chilling audiotape released Thursday, called for nuclear scientists to join his group’s holy war and urged insurgents to kidnap Westerners so they could be traded for a blind Egyptian sheik who is serving a life sentence in a U.S. prison.
The fugitive terror chief said experts in the fields of “chemistry, physics, electronics, media and all other sciences — especially nuclear scientists and explosives experts” should join his group’s jihad, or holy war, against the West.
“We are in dire need of you,” said the speaker, who identified himself as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir — also known as Abu Ayyub al-Masri. “The field of jihad can satisfy your scientific ambitions, and the large American bases (in Iraq) are good places to test your unconventional weapons, whether biological or dirty, as they call them.”
The 20-minute audio was posted to a Web site that frequently airs al-Qaida messages. The voice could not be independently identified, but it was thought to be al-Masri’s. He is believed to have succeeded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who died in a U.S. airstrike north of Baghdad in June, as head of the al-Qaida-linked organization.
“I appeal to every holy warrior in the land of Iraq to exert all efforts in this holy month so that God may enable us to capture some of the Western dogs to swap them with our sheik and get him out of his dark prison,” said al-Masri, who is also Egyptian.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
I am sure you all know who Lynne Stewart is, she needs to be HUNG for the treason she has commited against our country. Well, lawyer Lynne Stewart represented Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman. These people really make my blood boil!
Muslim scientists? Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?
I should add that this tool knows so little about America and The West that he thinks a trade is possible. Old One Eye has been convicted. Period. He’s not getting out of jail.
Everything’s a pain transaction to these Arab scrotum scratchers. No laws, no principles, no rules, just a contest to see how much pain can be inflicted before somebody gives in.
This isn’t a cultural habit, it’s a mental disease.
Strap old one eye with a remote device and turn him loose amongst the brotherhood, then light ’em up. That eliminates the martyr as well as some of it’s followers. I’m looking forward to Lynne Stewart’s judgement on October 16.
Rhod, it sure is a contradiction in terms. When I first read it I had to laugh then I got angry at them.
This is a good name for them Rhod…”Arab scrotum scratchers”.
Jack me too, the Judge said he would read every letter he got in making his decision.
Rhod,
“Arab scrotum scratchers”….You realise the acronym for that is ASS. …….Members of ASS today were involved in the bloodiest attack since………..

Ah yes, I’m here for job about nuclear scientist.
Do you have experience in this?
Yes, always, much experience. Once watched HISTORY Channel on Hiroshima, and have many cell phones which produce much radiation. Also, use microwave to re-heat schwarma.
How about explosives? Do you have explosive training?
Yes, always, much training. Watched three brothers strap on explosive devices. They show me.
Are they available too?
No, devices work as they say. They were very good at job.
How about drugs, would you be willing to take a drug test?
Yes, always, but must warn you I had many poppy seed bagels so may, how you say, skew results.
Ever been arrested?
Yes, always. But have good attorney with ACLU. Always get away.
When would you be available for work?
Yes, always. Can be available right after finish farewell videotape…………….
Ok, so I’m sittin here thinking. Just how the heck are we supposed to believe that these guys are trying to recruit nuclear scientists on the internet? This is from the guy that took over for Zarqouwi? WOW!!!!! Seems to me that we have resources at 7-11 that would be able to infiltrate this group!!!
I hope the blind Sheik HEARD this call to arms. It should extinguish any hope of getting out he may have had.
