11 September Jihadi On The Loose: What Part Of "Enemy" Does Our Coalition Miss?
This one comes from Michelle Malkin, and the Left's favorite news outlet FOX News. It seems our friends in New Zealand turned this guy loose, and he's heading back to Saudi Arabia. How nice. Our "friends" the Saudis have one of their favored sons returning home. Wonderful. Can we get ICE to catch him the next time he decides to make Arizona his next siesta spot?
New Zealand has deported a Yemeni man identified as having direct links with the terrorists involved in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States who was taking pilot training in the country this year, the government said Saturday.
Rayed Mohammed Abdullah Ali was deported to Saudi Arabia on May 30 because his presence in New Zealand posed a security threat, Immigration Minister David Cunliffe said in a statement.

"He was directly associated with persons responsible for the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001," Cunliffe said.
The U.S. congressional investigation into the attacks said Rayed Abdullah had lived and trained with Saudi Arabian Hani Hanjour, who piloted the airliner that crashed into the Pentagon on Sept. 11.
Rayed Abdullah was deported one day after he was arrested in the North Island city of Palmerston North where he was undertaking airplane pilot flight training, the minister said.
"He was building up his flying hours flying with an instructor. He'd previously trained as a pilot in the United States," Cunliffe said.
Rayed Abdullah had used "a variation of his name in applying for entry to New Zealand" and his real identity had only become known after he arrived in the country, Cunliffe said. He didn't say when Rayed Abdullah had arrived.
"Once his real identity became known, he was identified as having close connections to people involved with the Sept. 11 2001 attacks in the United States, and had been named in the 9/11 Commission Report," Cunliffe said.
The report identified Rayed Abdullah as a leader at the Islamic Cultural Center in Phoenix, Arizona, who had given extremist speeches at the mosque.
When he arrived in New Zealand, Rayed Abdullah initially had lived in the northern city of Auckland where he had undertaken some English language training, the stated purpose of his visit, Cunliffe said.
And we can add Robert Spencer's report on something he picked up in the New Zealand Herald, which shows that Rayed Abdullah knows how to blend in quite nicely:
The short, clean-cut Muslim told the club's chief flying officer, Captain Ravindra Singh, he had obtained his private pilot's licence in the US and spent several years there before returning to Saudi Arabia to work in his father's textile business.
He wanted to pass the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam so he could return home to train for his commercial pilot's licence.
He wore a baseball cap, smart shirts and baggy trousers and favoured burgers over halal food.
Mr. Spencer appropriately points to the al Qaeda training manual:
This is in accord with instructions in the Al-Qaeda manual to appear to be a secular, assimilated Muslim with no interest in religion. Speaking of ID documents, it says: "The photograph of the brother in these documents should be without a beard. It is preferable that the brother's public photograph [on these documents ]be also without a beard. If he already has one [document ]showing a photograph with a beard, he should replace it." And in renting an apartment, "It is preferable to rent these apartments using false names, appropriate cover, and non-Moslem appearance." And in general: "Have a general appearance that does not indicate Islamic orientation (beard, toothpick, book,[long] shirt, small Koran)....Be careful not to mention the brothers’ common expressions or show their behaviors (special praying appearance, “may Allah reward you”, “peace be on you" while arriving and departing, etc.)...Avoid visiting famous Islamic places (mosques, libraries, Islamic fairs, etc.)."
Sounds as if Ali was following the playbook.
It does seem as though he was following instructions, and it still seems that the coalition still hasn't figured out what the word and concept of "enemy" means. Someone want to send them a Wester's Dictionary? How about a link to Dictionary.com?

Thank you your blog. I found it most interesting. It contained a lot of information. I haven't gotten around to most countries but I intend and I will. I'm waiting to find out who died with Zarqawi? There's some question about Abu Rabdul Rahman. He's really not a "spiritual advisor" according to my information. Did he die with Zarqawi or was it the warrior Abu Rabdul Rahman al Iraqi? Is it the same person? As to Iraq, the MCI apparently remains intact. I wish we had more news. Rawriter
