Feds Arrest Al Qaeda Suspects With Plans to Poison Water Supplies on Them Monday, July 29, 2002 By Carl Cameron foxnews.com WASHINGTON ? Federal officials have arrested two Al Qaeda terror suspects in the U.S. with documents in their possession about how to poison the country's water supplies, Fox News has learned. The first case involves James Ujaama, who surrendered to the FBI last week in Denver. Sources say they found documents about water poisoning among several other terrorism-related documents in his Denver residence. Sources say the government has additional evidence that prior to Sept. 11 James Ujaama acted as a courier delivering laptop computers to the Taliban. James Ujaama's brother is Mustafa Ujaama, the founder of the now-closed Dar-us-Salaam Mosque in Seattle. The FBI has been investigating activities and officials from the former mosque for several months. Investigators believe officials and members of the mosque were trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Bly, Ore., Fox News has learned. Investigators say there is evidence that Mustafa Ujaama visited Bly to check it out as a possible facility location. The Ujaama brothers are also known to have helped establish several Web sites for radical Islamic clerics worldwide. Another former member of the mosque is also now in custody and suspected of plotting terrorist attacks. His name is Semi Osman and he too is accused of having documents about poisoning water supplies in his possession when he was arrested. Sources say the Ujaama brothers and Osman are all tied to a prominent radical Muslim cleric in London named Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Masri. Al-Masri is a one-eyed mullah who is often seen preaching at the Finsbury Park Mosque in North London and is wanted in Yemen on terrorism charges. Investigators say they have evidence indicating that Al-Masri supplied the information about poisoning water supplies to both the James Ujaama and Semi Osman. Furthermore, sources say Al-Masri's Web site was designed by the Ujaama brothers.

Seizing the oil fields is an "act of war" Absolutely. I expect that the current US government would regard the seizure of Saudi Arabia by fundamentalists as justification for immediate war. They would even have a case: put that kind of revenue in the hands of Islamists for a few years, and serious havoc could be wrought. The big unpredictable factor in the Saudi equation, of course, is where the Saudi armed forces would line up. For some reason it is in my mind that the military leadership is largely in the pro-Western camp, but I don't remember why I think that, and I certainly won't proclaim it as likely to be true. Does anyone have any links to material examining the likely moves of the Saudi military leadership in the event of a fundamentalist takeover attempt?
