Returnee from England

Will McCants

October 15th, 2008 | Jihadi media

Hani al-Siba`i, Egyptian Jihadi and provocateur extraordinaire, is being kicked out of the U.K. and sent back to Egypt. Hani, like Sayyid Imam, was a member of Egyptian Islamic Jihad and convicted in absentia in the Returnees from Albania case. Sayyid Imam is serving a life sentence for his conviction and jail time surely waits for Siba`i. We’ll see if he maintains his harsh condemnation of Sayyid Imam’s and EIJ’s “reconsiderations” of jihad.

Those who follow the forums are very familiar with Siba`i’s Jihadi advocacy, both online through his Maqrizi Center site, and on television. Since he may be entering a period of extended silence, savor his brilliance one last time (go to the 3:35).

A bit far afield from this topic, but I was wondering if you might have any thoughts on the killing of the “number two al-Qaeda operative in Iraq” … Abu Qaswarah?

Okay, how nutty are you if you’re using the Thanksgiving turkey to show that Westerners hate Muslims? I’m rating this guy “Batshit Insane.”

Freude,

All I know about Abu Qaswarah is what I’ve read in the English-language press. Needless to say, it’s another indication of AQI’s failure in Iraq and the increasing sophistication of US human intel or surveillance. For the latter, take a peak at this:
