Muslim Doctors of Death in U.S.?
August 2007
Disturbing reports from U.K Chat rooms reveal Muslim doctors in U.S. could be planning an attack.
Disturbing reports from the U.K. indicate a group of 45 Muslim doctors threatened to use car bombs and rocket grenades in terrorist attacks in the United States. These discussions were found on extremist internet chat sites in surrounding an investigation into the Glasgow bombers. Below is a summary:
* One message read: "We are 45 doctors and we are determined to undertake jihad and take the battle inside America.”* Another message: "The first target which will be penetrated by nine brothers is the naval base which gives shelter to the ship Kennedy."
* The message discussed targets at the base, adding: "These are clubs for naked women which are opposite the First and Third units."
* It also referred to using six Chevrolet GT vehicles and three fishing boats and blowing up gas tanks with rocket propelled grenades.
* Sources said it was "definitely spooky" that the use of doctors for terrorist purposes was being discussed in jihadi terrorist circles.
* Part of the inquiry into the London and Glasgow incidents will focus on whether al-Qa'eda has recruited doctors or other medical professionals because they are less likely to attract suspicion.
* One cyber-terrorist, Tsouli, promoted the ideology of Osama bin Laden via email and radical websites. He said in one message he was "very happy" about the July 7 bombings in London in 2005.
* Tsouli, along with Tariq Daour, a biochemistry student, and Waseem Mughal, a law student, were intelligent, computer-literate men who promoted violent propaganda.
* They created chat forums to direct willing fighters to Iraq and discuss murderous bomb attacks around the world – presumably the U.S.
* Daour, 21, of Bayswater, west London, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, yesterday admitted inciting another person to commit an act of terrorism wholly or partly outside Britain.
* The three men outwardly appeared to be leading normal lives, studying and living with their parents. Tsouli had come to the UK with his family from Morocco in 2001.
* Mughal had a degree in biochemistry from Leicester University and was studying for his masters.
* Daour had applied to start a law degree.

Our takeThe notion that terrorists are ill-educated is a false assertion. Many times, such radicalized jihadist becomes so when combining their intellect with the political will - a most dangerous combination. We must be vigilant in rooted out potential terrorists. No profession, even those belonging to the ranks of the educated, can go without scrutiny.
