The Identity of Al Qaeda's Secret Weapon by DesertRat66 2006-11-19 12:55:59
From here

Rakan Bin Williams Exposed:
In November, Global Islamic Media Front posted a message describing the individual who would carry out the next wave of Al Qaeda attacks against the United States and Europe. The posting called this fictional Al Qaeda foot soldier "Rakan Bin Williams".

Since that initial posting in November, there have been a number of additional posts purportedly from Rakan Bin Williams, all threatenng attacks against the west by a new soldier who would be a European or American-born Muslim convert.

Efforts to identify "Rakan Bin Williams" have been fruitless; until now, the concensus opinion of analysts has been that Rakan Bin Williams is a label for the new generation of Al Qaeda terrorist..

At first glance, many of those arrested in the London terror probe bear striking similarities to the description of Rakan Bin Williams. Was one of these individuals the inspiration for Rakan Bin Williams?

Possibly. However, another possibility must be considered.

What if Rakan Bin Williams isn't a person? What if Rakan Bin Williams is the code name for the group, a group of cells or even the operation itself, instead of the name of one person?

In the original Arabic postings, in many instances the name "Rakan Bin Williams" and its associated pronounces are refered to in the "plural" sense, as "they" or "them".
Do you think I am crazy? Who is Rakan Bin Williams?

They are a group of your sons who were born in Europe from two European parents, and were Christians who studied in your schools, and enter your places, and know your psychology, and they go to your churches and celebrate mass on Sunday.

They drank wine, and ate pork, and persecuted the Muslims.

But Al Qaeda brought them in and they embraced Islam and hid their Muslim religion and soaked up the Al Qaeda thought and promised Allah that they will carry the flag of their distance brothers and seek vengence on the evil doers.

They blend into the streets of Europe and they streets of America and they plan and watch and observe.
The description of Rakan Bin Williams quite accurately describes the group that has been linked to the plot to blow at least 12 airlines from the skies last week.

Among those arrested were Muslim converts, including at least two who were Roman Catholic. Some were of Pakistani origin, born and raised in the UK; others had a mother, father or both parents of European descent.

These terrorists, as Al Qaeda promised, had been educated in the schools of the UK. Many were former church goers. To all appearances they had assimilated well into the British society.

Yet they were involved in a plot to kill hundreds or thousands of their fellow countrymen.

The second Rakan Bin Williams post says:
Let me also inform you that we are talking about two operations, not one. The scale of one of them is larger than the other but both are large and significant. However, we will start with the smaller, and temporarily put the larger on hold to see how serious the Americans are about their lives.
Was the London operation phase one (or even part of phase one) of a two-phase attack? Is another attack in the planning stages for the US?

If we are to believe Osama Bin Laden, the answer is “Yes”.

In January 2006, a taped message from Bin Laden promised the following:
It's only a matter of time. They are in the planning stages, and you will see them in the heart of your land as soon as the planning is complete.
Early reports indicated that there may be links between this cell and people currently in the United States.

This isn't surprising. The post describing Rakan Bin Williams told us that last November:
They blend into the streets of Europe and the streets of America and they plan and watch and observe.

Are you ready to meet them, Blair?

But are you ready to meet them, George W. Bush?
History shows us that Al Qaeda consistently tells us what they are going to do. Then they do it.

They've told us they are in America too.

Are any of us ready to meet them?
