SARASOTA COUNTY - A convicted bank robber who drifted around the area in the past year is the man responsible for a series of home invasions and sexual assaults that shook the region last spring, sheriff’s officials said Monday. In announcing the arrest of 38-year-old Delmer Smith III, authorities said they may have solved as many as a dozen home invasions in which victims, mostly women, were stalked and then attacked while alone in their homes. In one April attack, a Sarasota woman was killed.

Smith, a Michigan native who has lived in Bradenton, Venice and North Port in the past year, was charged with four home invasions in Sarasota County and is the prime suspect in as many as eight others, Sarasota Sheriff Tom Knight said at a press conference Monday. Knight and officers from several agencies say they first focused on Smith when he was in a brutal bar fight in Venice. He was not arrested then, but the incident brought Smith to the attention of officers, who later served a search warrant on a home where he lived and reportedly found stolen items that linked him to the home invasions, more from this source.....

Sarasota home invasions suspect Delmer Smith was driving a 2000 Chevrolet SUV with Florida tag #M406CX.

Investigators in Venice initially questioned Delmer Smith following a bar fight. Although he was not arrested or implicated at that point, police chief Julie Williams said Smith's demeanor resonated with officers. "The violence in the bar fight in our community was notable," she said." We never had anyone that violent over nothing in a bar fight." Officers later followed-up with Smith and found an abundance of electronics in Smith's apartment. Knight said those electronics were stolen from the homes that were robbed.

Sheriff Knight said Smith's DNA, which had been taken 15 years ago when he first became a federal prisoner, was not registered in a national database that detectives use to locate potential suspects. Local detectives had to ask that it be added for comparison to the samples they took from he crime scenes, more from this source...

The extreme over the top violence shown by Delmer Smith III, a white male shaved head with trimmed fu-man cho mustache and goatee, in the bar fight in Venice Fl and his 15 year prison term in the Federal prison system run by the Aryan Brotherhood give indications that Delmer Smith most likely is/was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood.

The Aryan Brotherhood, according to the U.S. Department of Justice Web site, is a white supremacist prison gang that boasts about 15,000 members in and out of jail, they rule the Federal prison system. Aryan Brotherhood members make up less than one-tenth of one percent of the nation's prison inmate population, yet the white power gang is responsible for 18% of all prison murders, according to the FBI.

In 1980, the Aryan Brotherhood split into two separate but cooperative factions, one for gang members in federal custody and the other for gang members in state prisons, who had by then proliferated to Colorado, Arizona, Missouri and New Mexico. Indiana State Prison gangs Aryan Brotherhood. The federal faction of the gang formed a three-man "commission" to supervise and direct all Aryan Brotherhood actions inside federal prison, in 1982, the state prison AB faction followed suit.

The Aryan Brotherhood are concerned with White-Supremacy and self-protection from Black and Hispanic gangs. The recent conviction of 4 Aryan Brotherhood members in Santa Ana, California, one of the largest death penalty cases in U.S. history, revealed an allegedly "ruthless" gang who regularly murdered those who opposed the system, growing so out of control that even its own ranking members could not consider themselves safe. Two of the gang members convicted in July's trial, both deemed eligible for the death penalty, had allegedly ordered a 1997 race war at a prison in Lewisburg, Pa. that killed two black inmates. The same two, in addition to another accomplice, murdered inmate Arva Lee Ray at the Lompoc, California, penitentiary in 1989. The trials also revealed that members were inspired by Nietzsche, Machiavelli, and Sun Tzu's "The Art of War."

In 2006, alleged ringleader Barry "The Baron" Mills was put to trial for the murder of two black gang members, along with 3 other alleged leaders, including Tyler Davis "The Hulk" Bingham, Edgar "The Snail" Hevle, and Christopher Overton Gibson, all of whom are already serving time in prison. Mills orchestrated a successful contract murder against two black inmates in a Pennsylvania prison in 1979. Mills also planned a murder against Walter Johnson, an inmate who allegedly punched mafia don John Gotti in the eye in an Illinois prison in 1997. Gotti paid Mills $500,000 to kill Johnson, and Mills, who was staying at a Colorado prison at the time, agreed. However, the contract was never completed, and Gotti died in prison in 2002.

Initially formed for the protection of whites against blacks in prison, the gang gradually moved to criminal enterprise. In prison, they strive to control the sale of drugs, gambling, and "punks," or male prostitutes. According to Parenti, "Racial warfare comes second to business." The Aryan Brotherhood has carried out contract killings for the Mexican Mafia, but racist beliefs prevent members from consorting with African Americans, including even taking a cigarette or a candy bar from them.

Released or paroled members have smuggled money or drugs into prison, including marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamines. The creed by which the Brotherhood members operate under is:
"I will stand by my brother

My brother will come before all others
My life is forfeited should I fail my brother
I will honor my brother in peace and war"
They also live by the motto, "in for life and out by death."

Ex-con Delmer Smith III Arrested in Sarasota Home Invasions, But There Is A Missing Link, How Did He Know Homes Contained Middle Aged Women Living Alone North of Clark Rd and South of Webber?

Ex-con Delmer Smith III Arrested in Sarasota Home Invasions, But There Is A Missing Link, How Did He Know Homes Contained Middle Aged Women Living Alone North of Clark Rd and South of Webber?  Ex-con Delmer Smith is the muscle, not the brains of this operation, who fed him information?

It has been confirmed that a serial attacker of women is/was at large in the Sarasota Bradenton area who brutalizes his mostly female victims.  The Sarasota male perp would be single and living alone (loner no friends), he would be 35 to 53 years of age and he appears to work outside in the day time, working the Sarasota neighborhoods as he blends in.

Ex-con Delmer Smith III is 38 years old, he is from Michigan, he was in the joint for 15 years and new to the Sarasota area in the fall of 2008, he is not internet savvy (there was no internet when he went in) so who fed him detailed information on middle aged female occupants living alone in middle class neighborhoods and why were the Sarasota attacks all confined to a specific area between Clark Rd and Webber ???

Sarasota home invasions suspect Delmer Smith was driving a 2000 Chevrolet SUV with Florida tag #M406CX. The attacker was targeting mostly middle-aged women, who lived alone, creeping into their homes or yards and sneaking up behind them. He strikes them in the head, usually binds them with cords or rope he finds in their homes, then beats them again as he grabs cash, credit cards, jewelry and electronics (lap top computers) but robbery does not appear to be the motive.

All of the attacks in Sarasota occurred North of Clark Road aka Stickney Point Rd and South of Webber St and centered on Proctor Road. Murdered Georgeann Smith on Jo-An Drive in Sarasota went to the Bee Ridge Baptist Church on Proctor Rd. I strongly feel that the Sarasota perp has access to information online as to who lives in the homes that he targets.

The home invasions in Sarasota and Manatee counties happened over a four-month period from February to May, but then the crimes with the same pattern seemed to stop (May 26th). Authorities are not sure why, but speculate that Smith might have moved and could be responsible for crime in other jurisdictions. Smith is not a suspect in the recent murder of Kathleen Briles during a home invasion in her Terra Ceia home, authorities said.

SARASOTA COUNTY - Authorities have charged a 38-year-old man with attacking at least five women in their homes during a series of nearly a dozen home invasions that left the region on edge for months.



Delmer Smith III, who is from Michigan but has lived recently in Bradenton, Venice and North Port, has been charged with several crimes, including home invasion, false imprisonment and sexual battery, authorities said at a press conference today.



Smith is a possible suspect in several other cases, including the April 5 murder of Georgann Smith, 37, in her home in the 2100 block of Jo-An Drive in south Sarasota; he has not been charged in that crime.

Smith’s arrest culminates a long investigation by multiple agencies across the region. He was located as a suspect after a violent bar fight in Venice in early September, where his involvement triggered officials to begin looking into Smith as a suspect in several crimes.


Sarasota County Sheriff Tom Knight announced Smith’s arrest in connection with the local attacks at a press conference this afternoon. Representatives from several other agencies were present.


Authorities say Smith stalked women, scouting their homes, and waiting until they were alone before attacking. Some were tied up, gagged and beaten, more from this source.....................

Sarasota home invasions suspect Delmer Smith was driving a 2000 Chevrolet SUV with Florida tag #M406CX.


Manatee county authorities believe Smith may also have been the attacker in home invasions and other assaults in unincorporated Manatee and the city of Bradenton.


Bradenton Police Department Deputy Chief William Tokajer said Smith is a suspect in the Feb. 16 attack on a 52-year-old female jogger near Riverview Boulevard, and an April 20 home invasion on 32nd Street Northwest in which a couple in their early 60s were bound and beaten.


Steube said his detectives are investigating whether Smith was responsible for three home invasions in unincorporated Manatee.

Delmer Smith III, 38, was arrested Sept. 10 on a federal warrant for a violation of probation after a bar fight in Venice, and he was subsequently linked to four home invasions:
Feb. 22 at 3534 Osage Terrace
March 7 at 1946 Bougainvillea Street

March 14 at 5240 Carmilfra Way

May 26 at 20 Whispering Sands Drive


They also are examining possible connections between Smith and the slaying of Briles in her Terra Ceia home on Aug. 3.


Law enforcement in Manatee and in Sarasota have been working together to investigate a string of as many as 11 home invasions and other attacks. In most of the incidents, the victims were women, more from this source.............

Smith married a woman he had been communicating with in Bradenton. Detectives think he lived in Bradenton until he was involved in a nasty bar fight. "He did not get arrested from the bar fight, but the violence involved in the bar fight in our community was notable. We did just not ever have anybody that was that violent over nothing in a bar fight," says Julie Williams of the Venice Police Department.

Friday, May 29, 2009, SARASOTA HOME INVASIONS PROFILED BY PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR BILL WARNER, THE PERP HAS MADE NO MISTAKES; The attacker in the Home Invasions in Sarasota and Bradenton Fl has been described by victims as a white male, 5′10″ to 6′ 0″ tall, about 175 to 185 lbs, dark hair, speaks in street slang, some victims thought he was black by the way he talks, he wears a black ski mask, long sleeve shirts, gloves and has made statements that he robs to feed a crack cocaine habit.

Usually in serial attacker cases like this, the Sarasota male perp would have recently moved into the area (Jan 2009) and had numerous prior address’s around the country, a drifter. The Sarasota male perp would be single and living alone (loner no friends), he would be 35 to 53 years of age and he appears to work outside in the day time, working the Sarasota neighborhoods as he blends in.

Sarasota Mosque That Raised Money for Families of Suicide Bombers And Hosted Terrorists Has A New Larger Mosque Coming Up Out Of The Ground.

On the government witness list for the trial of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist leader Sami Al-Arian was Muneer Arafat most recently the Imam of the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) where terrorist Dr. Rafiq Sabir shows up in 2002.

BOP..Inmate Locator - Locate Federal inmate Sami Al-Arian.

Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) made national headlines when one of its congregants, Rafiq Abdus Sabir, was caught plotting to go overseas and aid members of Al-Qaeda. In addition, one of ICBR's current Directors, Bassem Alhalabi, was a research assistant for Al-Arian and published materials with Al-Arian at the University of South Florida (USF).

Before arriving in Boca Raton, Muneer Arafat was the Imam of the Islamic Society of Sarasota and Bradenton (ISSB) mosque. The mosque is located an hour south of the Islamic Academy of Florida (on Lockwood Ridge Rd in Sarasota Fl), one of the institutions that Al-Arian was using to funnel money to the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jiahd (PIJ).

Islamic Society of Sarasota and Bradenton (ISSB) featured repeated guest appearances by Al-Arian terrorist colleagues Mazen Al-Najjar and Hussam Jubara. Al-Najjar, who was a Director of IAF, was deported from the United States in August of 2002.

BOP..Inmate Locator - Locate Federal inmate Mazen Al-Najjar


Jubara, who co-founded the Islamic Concern Project (ICP) with Al-Arian, plead guilty in August of 2003 to lying on immigration forms.

Al-Arian, himself, was a guest at ISSB, in May of 2001. At this time, Al-Arian was actively raising funds for the families of suicide bombers. Islamic Society of Sarasota and Bradenton was also active in raising funds for these families. In its January 2001 edition of its monthly newsletter THE FAITH, under the title 'Aqsa Victims (2),' it is written: "The second payment of donations for Aqsa victims were sent [sic] the martyrs families and needy in the West Bank in Palestine. Alhamdullah we managed to send $4,000 by one of our dedicated brothers."


Joe Kaufman, Chairman of Americans Against Hate, stated, "Given the fact that Al-Arian's colleagues were heavily involved with ISSB, and given the fact that ISSB was raising money for the families of martyrs, it is imperative that law enforcement focus much of its efforts on ISSB."


From a JTTF investigation started in Sarasota during February 2003 with information provided by private investigator Bill Warner comes the following details, Monday, July 24, 2006. FLORIDA "HOLY MAN" MUNEER ARAFAT TERROR LINKS;


Muneer Kazem Arafat, Imam at Sarasota Mosque and then Boca Raton Mosque, was born in Kuwait on 5/10/1963 and the family eventually moved to Jordan. Muneer Arafat claims he is a Jordanian born in Kuwait of Palestinian decent BUT not related to Yasser Arafat.

Muneer Kazem Arafat was arrested in November 2002 in Sarasota for overstaying his visa. A Federal official from St. Louis was present for his arrest, weeks later he was released.

Arafat first began his career in the US in St. Louis and Columbia, MO. In St. Louis he became a well-known lecturer at different Masjids and built up quite a following. He gave lectures at local mosques that almost exclusively focused on jihad week in and week out and this got him into trouble with Sheikh Muhammad Nur of the Islamic Foundation of Greater St. Louis who at one point banned him from giving lectures at the Gateway Masjid. They would butt heads over and over again about other issues including Arafat’s dishonesty about his religious education and immigration status.

Muneer Arafat is an al-Qaeda operative, he is paid member of the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights (CDLR), same as Tarik Hamdi is a CDLR member and Ziyad Sadaqa aka Ziyad Khaleel, Muneer Arafat's ex-roomate, was a CDLR member, same as Rafiq Sabir the "Doc" who was arrested at the Boca Raton Mosque that Arafat was the Imam.


Two al Qaeda operatives, Ziyad Khaleel and Tarik Hamdi, have been involved with both the CDLR and the ARC. The Advice and Reformation Committee (or “ARC”) and the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights (or “CDLR”) are both Saudi-dissident groups with ties to Osama bin Laden. Both organizations seek to overthrow the Saudi government to replace the regime with an even more strict brand of Islam. Khaleel had links to more radical elements. He advertised his modest apartment near the University of Missouri as the local headquarters for the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights.

Charges against Tarik Hamdi focus on a series of alleged omissions in Hamdi's naturalization papers, as well as information he submitted on mortgage-loan applications.  According to the indictment in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Tarik Hamdi did not state on his naturalization form that in 1994 he had been the U.S. representative for the Committee for the Defense of Legitimate Rights in Saudi Arabia, a London-based organization that has embraced many of Osama bin Laden's views. 

Hamdi has been under federal investigation for several years, stemming from his work at the International Institute of Islamic Thought in Virginia.  Hamdi was also accused of committing wire fraud by receiving mortgage loans by inflating his income on the applications. If found guilty of all the charges, he could face up to 20 years in jail, court officials said.

Muneer Arafat, the Iman at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton and a frequent visitor in Sarasota Fl, had a roommate and associate by the name of Ziyad Khaleel aka Ziad Sadaqa in Columbia MO, see following information;  Ziyad Khaleel AKA Ziad Sadaqa, received $6,000.00 from Yasser Arafat and the Palestine National Liberation Movement--Nablus Movement, to further his University studies (computer studies).

Ziyad Khaleel AKA Ziyad Sadaqa was at the Univ. of Missouri and was a roommate of Muneer Arafat in the St. Louis MO area during 1996 to 1999. Public records show U.S. addresses for Khaleel going back to 1993 in Columbia, Michigan and ORLANDO Florida.

Ziyad Khaleel purchased a $7,500.00 satellite phone and 400 min. of time and had it sent to Osama bin-Laden for use in the 1998 US Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. In May 1998, Ziyad Sadaqa aka ziyad Khaleel bought a battery pack for the phone, and shipped it to Bin Laden via a man in Washington (Tarik Hamdi), prosecutors said.  Osama bin Laden uses a satellite phone to direct al-Qaeda’s operations.

The phone—a Compact M satellite phone, about the size of a laptop computer—was purchased by a student in Virginia named Ziyad Khaleel for $7,500 using the credit card of a British man named Saad al-Fagih. After purchasing the phone, Khaleel sent it to Khalid al-Fawwaz, al-Qaeda’s unofficial press secretary in London (see Early 1994-September 23, 1998). Al-Fawwaz then shipped it to bin Laden in Afghanistan. [CNN, 4/16/2001] It appears US intelligence actually tracks the purchase as it occurs (see November 1996-Late December 1999), probably because an older model satellite phone bin Laden has is already being monitored (see Early 1990s). Bin Laden’s phone (873682505331) is believed to be used by other top al-Qaeda leaders as well, including Ayman al-Zawahiri and Mohammad Atef. Al-Fawwaz also buys satellite phones for other top al-Qaeda leaders around the same time. Though the calls made on these phones are encrypted, the NSA is able to intercept and decrypt them. As one US official will put it in early 2001, “codes were broken.”


Ziyad Khaleel set up numerous web sites for the Palestine movement and especially Hamas in Orlando Fl, from 1999 to 2000 approx. he also shows up in Sarasota Fl on several occasinos to meet with Muneer Arafat at the Islamic Society of Sarasota and Bradenton (ISSB).


"Khalil Ziyad" is actually known in the United States as Ziyad Khaleel (a.k.a. Ziyad Sadaqa, a.k.a Ziyad Abdulrahman). Public records reveal that he was associated with a variety of addresses in Orlando, Detroit, Columbia (Missouri), and Denver. Khaleel was also responsible for administering a variety of the most radical Islamic Web sites on the Internet.


At various points in the late 1990s, according to Internic/Network Solutions database records, Khaleel was the administrative and billing contact of the official Hamas Web site (http://www.palestine-info.net/  ), the Algerian Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) Web site (http://www.fisalgeria.org/  ), the Web site of Liberty for the Muslim World (http://www.lmw.org/  ), and the Palestine Times Web site (http://www.ptimes.com/ ).

American Omar Hammami Surfaces In New Jihadist Video by Al-Shabaab Terrorists, Abu Mansour al-Amriki aka Omar Hammami "Brainwashed" by "Angry" Individuals in Mississauga, Terror Central Canada.

American Omar Hammami Surfaces In New Jihadist Video by Al-Shabaab Terrorists, Abu Mansour al-Amriki aka Omar Hammami "Brainwashed" by "Angry" Individuals in Mississauga, Terror Central Canada.

Abu Mansour al-Amriki aka Omar Hammami as he was known in Daphne AL appears in a recent video posted online by al-Shabaab, which has ties to Al Qaeda and was labeled a terrorist organization by the U.S. government last year, al-Shabaab fighters pledge their allegiance to Osama bin Laden.



"I ask Allah to grant victory to the [Muslim fighters] in every land and under every sky," says one fighter in the video, excerpts of which were provided to Fox News by the Washington-based Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). "We ask Allah that the Islamic Nation be liberated from invaders by the next [end of Ramadan] and [an Islamic state] be established by then."


During the 50-minute video, titled "We Are At Your Command, Osama," al-Amriki pops up in scenes of apparent military training. In one scene, he stands in the background – a black, bulging vest strapped to his chest – while at least four people whose faces are hidden by cloth point rifles forward.


Al-Amriki has been in Somalia for several years, but he first became a public figure in October 2007, when Al-Jazeera TV featured him in a report on the "common goal" of Al Qaeda and hard-line militants in Somalia. He kept his face hidden.


He showed his face for the first time in April, 2007 when a video posted online featured him purportedly leading a group of al-Shabaab militants in an ambush of "the enemy."



When watching an April 2007 al-Shabaab Web posting, private investigator Bill Warner said, he was particularly intrigued by one of the men on the Web site, a fair-skinned man, who stood apart from the Somali fighters. That man went by the name Abu Mansour al-Amriki. Fox News reported last week that his true identity is Omar Hammami and that he faces a secret indictment in Mobile's federal court on a charge of providing material support to terrorists. Hammami, 25, attended Daphne High School and the University of South Alabama, more from this source .....



Speaking about one man killed in the fight, he said, "We need more like him, so if you can encourage more of your children and more of your neighbors, anyone around, to send people like him to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us."



His efforts in Somalia spurred the Federal Bureau of Investigation to launch an investigation several years ago. The case was ultimately brought before a grand jury in Mobile, Ala., where he has been indicted on charges of providing material support to terrorists, a source said. It’s unclear when that indictment was filed.



As FOX News first reported three weeks ago, al-Amriki was born Omar Hammami in May 1984, and he grew up outside Mobile, Ala., in the quiet city of Daphne. He was raised Baptist like his mother, but his Syrian-born father is Muslim, and "some time in high school" Hammami converted to Islam, a woman who went to high school with Hammami told FOX News.



The woman, Shellie Brooks, said Hammami would take time out from classes throughout the day to pray. At the same time, he would frequent the Islamic Society of Mobile (his father Shaikh Hammami was the president of the Mosque), one of the most popular mosques in the Mobile area.



He left high school a year early, forgoing a fourth year at Daphne High School to enroll as a 17-year-old at the University of South Alabama in Mobile. He chose computer science as his major, but he dropped out within two years.

Private investigator Bill Warner says Daphne terror suspect linked to jihadist Web site Al-Shabaab; A Web site used by a Somali jihadist group that has been tied to a suspected terrorist from Daphne was hosted by an Internet company based in the United States, according to a private investigator. Bill Warner, an investigator from Sarasota, Fla., who tried to shut down a number of Web sites linked to extremist groups, said he first targeted an al-Shabaab Web site in May 2008 after the U.S. government labeled it a terrorist organization.

According to a source within Mobile's Muslim community who described hismelf as an "acquaintance" of Hammami, the college drop-out then went to Mississauga a suburb of Toronto, where he married a Somali woman he had met through a mutual friend. The couple had a child together, the source said.

After living in Toronto (Mississauga) "for a while," some "angry" individuals there "brainwashed" him (Mississauga terror central in Canada) and "encouraged him to fight in Somalia," according to the source. Hammami then left his wife and child for Somalia, the source said.


Friday, October 02, 2009, Abu Mansour al-Amriki aka Omar Hammami the Al-Shabaab Webmaster Via Daphne AL Travelled To Mississauga Suburb of Toronto Same Place NYC Subway Bomber Najibullah Zazi Went, Terror Central in Canada Says PI Bill Warner.

Hammami – or al-Amriki – is a small part of the new video posted online by al-Shabaab. The video centers around a ceremony in the Kismaayo district of southern Somalia, during which some Somalis vow obedience to bin Laden by declaring, "We are at your command, oh Usama," according to MEMRI.



U.S. officials have become increasingly concerned that, if al-Shabaab prevails in Somalia, the country could turn into a haven for Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Somalia has had no stable government since 1991, when dictator Siad Barre was ousted from power. A newer secular government has had trouble keeping Muslim militants at bay, and in 2006 fighting with al-Shabaab intensified after Western-backed Ethiopian forces invaded Somalia.

Somali-born Canadian jailed in Toronto bombing plot, Ali Mohamed Dirie came from Mississauga, plan was to load the bombs into three rented trucks same plan Mississauga visitor Najibullah Zazi had for NYC.



A Toronto man who admitted yesterday he was a member of a terrorist group that planned attacks in Canada was caught on police wiretaps saying he hated non-Muslims. Ali Mohamed Dirie, a Canadian born in Somalia, called white people the "No. 1 filthiest people on the face of the planet. They don't have Islam. They're the most filthiest people."



Toronto, Oct 3 2009 (IANS) A Canadian Muslim, who was part of the 18-member terrorist plot to carry out mayhem in Canada three years ago, was Friday jailed for seven years.



A court in the Indian-dominated city of Brampton on the outskirts of Toronto sentenced Ali Mohamed Dirie, 26, for his role in the so-called Toronto-18 terror plot. The plot was unearthed in June 2006, with arrest of 18 Canadian Muslims allegedly linked to Al-Qaeda which wants Canada to leave Afghanistan.


The plotters had planned to blow up the Toronto Stock Exchange and offices of the Canadian spy agency and storm parliament in Ottawa to take leaders hostage and behead the prime minister.



To carry out the plot, they had undergone training in firearms at a rural camp in December 2005. A police mole blew the cover on the plot. Most plotters were of Pakistani origin and came from the Toronto suburb of Mississauga which has the biggest concentration of Muslims in the country.



Ail Mohammed Dirie, who was sentenced Friday, is a Somali-born Canadian. He is the third terrorist to be convicted in the case which continues. Dirie admitted to smuggling handguns and ammunition into Canada for the terror group to carry out their plot. Convicting him, Justice Bruce Durno said, “Terrorism offences strike at the heart of Canadian values and society.



“The intentions were to use loaded guns to attempt to effect change in Canada’s foreign policy, to resort to violence to protest violence, to use guns and not ballots to effect change, and to commit violent acts, more from this source...................



Third Toronto 18 defendant pleads guilty; Saad Gaya, 21, a McMaster University student, pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of "committing an indictable offence in association with a terrorist group," namely, activities intended to cause an explosion. The guilty plea is the latest in the Toronto 18 case. Ali Mohamed Dirie, a Somali-Canadian, was sentenced on Friday after pleading guilty to smuggling guns for the terrorist group. Saudi-born Saad Khalid also pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 14 years.


On June 2, 2006, police watched Gaya as he left his home and entered a Rona hardware store in Mississauga, west of Toronto, where he and Khalid bought a "large quantity" of cardboard boxes. They then drove to a rented industrial unit in Newmarket, Ont., where they assembled the boxes and lined them with plastic bags. They were unloading bags labelled "ammonium nitrate" from a delivery truck when they were arrested. Police found a laptop computer on the warehouse floor that contained Gaya's application to join the McMaster chapter of the Muslim Students Association, and documents titled 39 Ways to Serve and Participate in Jihad and The Book of Jihad.


The group trained at a camp north of Toronto, but then split into two factions. Gaya was recruited by the leader of the Mississauga faction, which was acquiring bomb-making materials, such as chemicals and detonators. The ringleader's plan was to load the bombs into three rented trucks that would be parked outside the CSIS office in Toronto, the Toronto Stock Exchange and a military base along the 401 highway. The bombs were to be detonated remotely, more from this source............

Najibullah Zazi was stopped by police Sept. 10 as he entered New York, and he dropped his plans for an attack once he realized that law enforcement was on to him, three of his associates tried to rent large U-Haul trucks in Queens NY. U.S. prosecutor Tim Neff did not give any other details on the Canadian trips and a spokesman said in an email later Friday that he had no comment on them. An FBI spokeswoman said Saturday the agency could not confirm "anything regarding this case at this time."


Reports say Saturday that agents with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service were knocking on the doors of relatives of Zazi in Mississauga, Ont, west of Toronto, Friday night. A private investigator in the U.S., who touts himself as a specialist in tracking down suspected terrorists, as well as suspected philanderers, said the potential Mississauga connection is a "red-flag."


"That's terrorist central in Canada," said Bill Warner, a private investigator who boasts he has worked with the FBI on cases involving terrorism. "If he was in that city, that's one of the key spots in Canada for these terror connections and they link back into Atlanta, Chicago, Toledo," Warner said, more from this source...............

Abu Mansour al-Amriki aka Omar Hammami the Al-Shabaab Webmaster Via Daphne AL Travelled To Mississauga Suburb of Toronto Same Place NYC Subway Bomber Najibullah Zazi Went, Terror Central in Canada Says PI Bill Warner.

FBI Director: Al Qaeda-Linked Somali Group Could Attack U.S.; In early September 2000, FOX News exclusively identified the American mouthpiece for al-Shabaab as a native of Daphne, Ala. Born Omar Hammami, the big-eared and bright-eyed teenager now goes by the name Abu Mansour al-Amriki, or simply "The American."

After FOX News uncovered al-Amriki's identify, his family told a local TV station in Mobile, Ala., that their son traveled to Somalia with his wife but lost his passport there, where he became indoctrinated by al-Shabaab. One source within Mobile's Muslim community said that, after dropping out of college, Hammami travelled to Toronto, where he eventually married a Somali woman and became indoctrinated there, (Mississauga Suburb of Toronto) by "angry" individuals.

Private investigator Bill Warner says Daphne terror suspect linked to jihadist Web site Al-Shabaab; A Web site used by a Somali jihadist group that has been tied to a suspected terrorist from Daphne was hosted by an Internet company based in the United States, according to a private investigator. Bill Warner, an investigator from Sarasota, Fla., who tried to shut down a number of Web sites linked to extremist groups, said he first targeted an al-Shabaab Web site in May 2008 after the U.S. government labeled it a terrorist organization.

Dotster Inc. of Vancouver, Wash., took the Web site down in January, Warner said, after an order from the federal government. Warner said he has run a detective agency for 15 years and has been trying to shut down terrorist Web sites — on his own time without pay — since 2003.

When watching an April 2007 al-Shabaab Web posting, he said, he was particularly intrigued by one of the men on the Web site, a fair-skinned man, who stood apart from the Somali fighters. That man went by the name Abu Mansour al-Amriki. Fox News reported last week that his true identity is Omar Hammami and that he faces a secret indictment in Mobile's federal court on a charge of providing material support to terrorists. Hammami, 25, attended Daphne High School and the University of South Alabama, more from this source .......

TORONTO - Officials on both sides of the border erected a wall of silence Saturday over word that an Afghan immigrant arrested on terrorism-related charges in the United States made at least two trips to Canada.

The reference to Najibullah Zazi's trips to Canada was almost made in passing Friday by U.S. prosecutor Tim Neff during a Denver court hearing. Zazi is accused of plotting to use weapons of mass destruction to attack commuter trains in New York City to coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

They say Zazi was stopped by police Sept. 10 as he entered New York, and he dropped his plans for an attack once he realized that law enforcement was on to him. Neff did not give any other details on the Canadian trips and a spokesman said in an email later Friday that he had no comment on them. An FBI spokeswoman said Saturday the agency could not confirm "anything regarding this case at this time."

Reports say Saturday that agents with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service were knocking on the doors of relatives of Zazi in Mississauga, Ont, west of Toronto, Friday night.
