Malaysia Releases 9/11 Suspect and Biological Weapons Expert who Worked in al-Qaeda Camps Setting up Anthrax Lab....

Fantastic.....

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP)Malaysia said Wednesday it had released suspected terrorist Yazid Sufaat, an alleged biological weapons expert who was also linked to the September 11 attacks in the United States.

Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said Yazid, a member of regional militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, who was arrested in 2001 and held at a detention camp in northern Malaysia until November 24, was now safe to be released.

"He was considered as a threat to public security in Malaysia because he was part of Jemaah Islamiyah, trying to establish an Islamic government within the region," he told reporters.

"I think after holding him for so long, he can be brought back into society but at the same time we will follow closely everyone that may have ideology (of) militancy or extremism."

The United States' 9/11 Commission Report has said that Yazid, a US-trained biochemist,was tasked by Al-Qaeda to develop a biological weapons programme and spent several months trying to cultivate anthrax at a lab in Afghanistan.

Were we truly serious about fighting a war on jihad, our gov't would have a covert team of "janitors" whose sole mission would be to travel the world and dispatch with extreme prejudice the likes of Yazid Sufaat.

Omvi,

We were never serious about fighting this war. Pray for the return of Jesus to save us because we surely wont do a thing to save ourselves.
