New York, December 18: Terrorist outfit al-Qaeda is training a 12-member team of Westerners in Pakistan for a special mission including plotting attacks on return to their home countries, a media report has said. The team includes nine British citizens, two Norwegian Muslims and an Australian, the Newsweek said quoting Taliban's Chief Qaeda liaison for Ghazni province in Afghanistan Omar Farooqi.

The magazine in its upcoming issue says some Taliban commanders told it of seeing the "English brothers," as foreign recruits are called, in person during the training.

Farooqi said he spent roughly five weeks last year helping indoctrinate and train a class foreign recruits near Afghanistan border in tribal Waziristan. Their mission, Farooqi said, will be to act as, underground organizers and operatives for al-Qaeda in their home countries -- and their yearlong training course is just about finished. He said the Westerners were not meant to be suicide bombers themselves as they are far too valuable to waste.

The magazine quotes US and British security agencies as saying they have known this threat would come sooner or later.

While saying he could not confirm the English brothers' case specifically, a spokesman for Britan's Foreign Office called it "common knowledge" that jihadist recruits have been traveling from Britain to Pakistan for indoctrination and training.

US intelligence officials told Newsweek that their people were definitely concerned about terror suspects and operatives shuttling back and forth between Britain and Pakistan.

"For the most effective background checks on passengers, the United States needs information and assistance from the country where the traveler resides," says Homeland Security Department spokesman Russ Knocke, adding that such help should be "routine."

Newsweek said Farooqi confidently described those plans to its correspondent at a mud-brick house in Afghanistan's Paktia province, not far from the Pakistan border.

The specifics of his story could not be independently corroborated, the report said.

The magazine says an open notebook lay on the carpet where Farooqi was seated, and the correspondent caught a fleeting glimpse of scrawled names and telephone numbers, including several that were preceded by the UK's country code: 44.

Farooqi told the magazine that he first met the brothers, all of them in their 20s, soon after they reached Waziristan in October 2005.

A few, he couldn't say how many, had arrived in Pakistan by air, but most had taken a clandestine overland route, across Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan.

According to Farooqi, the brothers' travel arrangements were made by Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi, one of al-Qaeda's top operations men and a liaison with insurgents in Iraq.

America's best non NATO ally Pakistan is training British Jehadis to murder innocent Americans.

Pakistan is also behind the rise of Talibaan and recent violence by Talibaani Terrorists against US/UK led Coalition troops in Afghanistan.

Father of Pakistani Islamic Bomb Dr.Adbul Qadir Khan is busy giving Nuclear Techniques to other anti western rogue countries.

Madrassas in Pakistan brainwash Muslim children to hate West in general and US in particular.

Millions of Pakistani Muslims protest against US , Their burning of US Flag and effigy of President Bush shows their hatred towards west.

Whole world knows Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al Jawahiri are hiding in North West Frontier Province of Pakistan.

US Journalist Daniel Pearl was slaughtered in Pakistan by Islamic Jehadis.

CIA knows that a major section of Pakistani Political establishment , Pakistani Army , ISI , Mullah / Imam / Religious leaders support and sympathize with Al Qaida and other terror groups.

Terrorist attacks in UK , Madrid , US , Russia , France all have roots or connections in Pakistan.

We wonder whether Pakistan is real ally of US or not???

We have to count only on our real allies like Israel , UK , Australia , etc.

We need to learn how to differentiate between our Friends and Enemies !

We have to win this Global War against Terror .
