Al Qaeda to release video tape claiming Mumbia Attacks as theirs

COHEN, BENJAMIN, FELBAB & REIDEL from Brookings Institution know who is behind the Mumbia Attacks--aL Qaeda. All one had to do was watch CSpan this afternoon to listen to this intel group pin the Mumbai attacks on AQ.

But of course.

And according to this group, AQ will shortly release a video/audio tape claiming the Mumbia attacks as theirs.

Sure, we believe you.

AQ will probably also release some sensitive info on the attacks that was only known to India police and security forces.

Right.

Yes, the same group of monsters who were behind 9/11 had a hand in the Mumbai attacks and we all know who that is.

Look for Rita Katz of SITE or Benjamin Venke of IntelCenter to be the first to release another aL Qaeda blockbuster.

BROOKINGS INSTITUTION DISCUSSION ON MUMBAI TERRORIST ATTACKS

The Brookings Institution hosted a discussion on the Mumbai terrorist attacks, specifically rising tensions between India and Pakistan, how India and the U.S. should respond and the repercussions for the NATO mission in Afghanistan, as well for the broader region.

Washington, DC : 1 hr. 25 min.

EVENT SUMMARY

In the aftermath of the terrorist violence in India, at least 174 people are dead, the country's top law enforcement official has resigned and an investigation is underway looking at possible ties to extremist groups in Pakistan. In addition to raising questions about India’s vulnerability to terrorism, the attacks have contributed to rising tensions between Pakistan and India. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will head to the region on Wednesday to offer U.S. support in responding to the attacks.

On December 3, the Brookings Institution hosted a discussion on the Mumbai attacks. The discussion focused on the extremist networks allegedly responsible for the assaults, the increasing tensions between India and Pakistan, how India and the U.S. should respond to the crisis and the repercussions for the broader region and the NATO mission in Afghanistan in particular.

Panelists included Brookings Foreign Policy experts Stephen Cohen, Vanda Felbab-Brown and Bruce Riedel. Brookings Senior Fellow Daniel Benjamin, director of the Center on the United States and Europe, provided introductory remarks and moderated the discussion.

Who are these Three Wise Men & One Woman from the East and what kind of gifts are they bearing?

Daniel Benjamin says: "Terrorism in this case, Jihadist terrorism, is a very durable ideology. The best that I think we can hope for is that we’ll be able to significantly reduce the appeal of this ideology and get a lot of people who might otherwise have been tempted to follow in Bin Laden’s tracks not to do so."

Daniel Benjamin

Daniel Benjamin’s areas of expertise include European affairs, terrorism and American foreign and security policy. He served for more than five years on the National Security Council staff, including as director for transnational threats. His current research focuses on Islam in Europe, the European periphery and the evolution of Jihadist terrorism.

He currently serves as the Director for the Center on the United States and Europe, and Senior Fellow of Foreign Policy Studies at The Brookings Institution.

Together with Steven Simon, he wrote The Age of Sacred Terror (Random House, 2002), which documents the rise of al Qaeda and religiously motivated terrorism, as well as America's efforts to combat that threat. Benjamin and Simon would follow up The Age of Sacred Terror in 2005 with The Next Attack: The Globalization of Jihad (Hodder & Soughton (in Britain), 2005), a book which received high-praise from Bill Clinton.

Danny Boy is also an AIPAC favorite.

The Brookings Institution is another Zionist infilitrated group, as this article shows:

"The Lobby's influence extends well beyond WINEP, however. Over the past 25 years, pro-Israel forces have established a commanding presence at the American Enterprise Institute, the Brookings Institution, the Center for Security Policy, the Foreign Policy Research Institute, the Heritage Foundation, the Hudson Institute, the Institute for Foreign Policy Analysis, and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). These think tanks employ few, if any, critics of U.S. support for Israel" (see "The Israel Lobby," London Review of Books, March 23, 2006).
