U.S. posts wrong photo of ‘al-Qaida operative’
Monday, February 6th, 2006MSNBC: U.S. posts wrong photo of ‘al-Qaida operative’ [cache]
For a year and a half, the U.S. government has been asking for the public’s help in finding Midhat Mursi al-Sayid ‘Umar, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, a dangerous al-Qaida operative. But now intelligence officials admit to NBC News they were using a photo of a different man.
Måske fordi Khabab aldrig har eksisteret?
NBC News noticed that the photo seemed to bear a striking resemblance to a radical London imam, Abu Hamza Al-Masri.
NBC then located an early television interview with the imam, and compared it with the wanted poster. There are similarities: the unusual white patch of hair, the fold of the shirt collar and the strip of white over his shoulder.

Faktisk ligner den “rigtige” Khabab en manipuleret version af den “forkerte” fra samme udsendelse - derfor er der så mange sammenfald. Også rummet er tydeligvis det samme.
Og navnesammenfaldet er også bemærkelsesværdigt - Abu Khabab al-Masri og Abu Hamza Al-Masri … ikke særlig opfindsomt.
Hvorfor mon CIA tager et billede og forringer kvaliteten og giver manden sort hår, mørkere hud og hvid trøje? Bare en menneskelig fejl? I think not!
CIA kryber selvfølgelig først til korset når bedraget bliver opdaget, men forsikrer os, at …
all other intelligence on Abu Khabab is accurate.
Ja - helt sikkert … og Irak flyder i 100.000 tons af masseødelæggelsesvåben (det gør de faktisk - nu).
The hunt for “Abu Khabab” may now be over. Pakistani intelligence officials say he was killed recently in the Predator missile attack in Pakistan. And that photo on the State Department Web site? It has been replaced with a silhouette.
