FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
One US official said: “Aslam Awan was a senior al-Qaeda external operations
planner who was working on attacks against the West.
“His death reduces al-Qaeda’s thinning bench of another operative devoted to
plotting the death of innocent civilians.”
Awan was part of a cell that traveled from Manchester to Pakistan, where
security forces have been hunting them since 2008.
The whereabouts of two members, Umar Arshad, a Briton who fled to Pakistan
while under a control order, and Murad Iqbal, who also traveled from Britain
to Pakistan, is not known.
The most senior associate of the cell was a British al-Qaeda commander called
Rangzieb Ahmed, who was connected to the July 7, July 21 and trans-Atlantic
airlines plots. He was jailed in Manchester in 2009.
Awan had operated the cell in Britain with a man called Abdul Rahman, running
a “pipeline” for young militants to travel to Pakistan and Afghanistan for
terrorist training, grooming them “like paedophiles” according to reports.
Rahman pleaded guilty in November 2007 to helping Arshad abscond and
circulating a letter by Awan. He was jailed for six years.
The pair ran training camps in the Lake District to prepare them for the trip
and police found hunting knives, two-way radios, and GPS equipment in the
house in Cheetham Hill, Manchester that they had shared together.
Rahman had arrived in Britain from the Pakistani border region on a student
visa to study biotechnology at Abertay University in Dundee but left after
his frist day and moved to Manchester where he worked as a mobile phone
salesman. A school friend of Awan, the pair moved in together in 2005.
A camping trip to the Lake District in March 2006 by the pair was recorded on
video clips found on computers seized in raids in Manchester and
Nottinghamshire.
The film featured a mock suicide operation and “leopard crawling”, through the
snow near Langdale, Cumbria.
The two men made another trip to the Lake District on June 23 2006, staying in
Hawkshead and conducting fitness and stamina-building exercises.
A letter written in Urdu from Awan, who by then had left for Pakistan, was
found in Rahman’s bedroom when it was raided in 2007.
It contained a description of visits to the graves of al-Qaeda fighters killed
in 2001 and 2006, instructions for the distribution of CDs featuring the
dead al-Qaeda fighters and a description of Awan’s participation in
fighting.
There was also reference to his own terrorist training and descriptions of
life under Sharia law.
Ironically, the letter included a discussion of the need for assistance to
combat air-power with one of the men asked to contact a mutual friend.
Rahman helped Arshad escape from the country by hiding him from his family and
the police, who had served him with a control order, and giving him £480.
He drove the young man to Birmingham airport where Arshad changed into Western
clothing and caught a flight to Tehran and then on to Lahore in Pakistan
