From Brian Ross<\/a>, ABC News:<\/p>\n

Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com.<\/p>\n

Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda\/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9.<\/p>\n

A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

The leader of the team assigned to attack Great Britain spoke in English.<\/p>\n

“So let me say something about why we are going, along with my team, for a suicide attack in Britain,” he said. “Whether my colleagues, companions and Muslim brothers die today or tonight, every drop of our blood will invigorate the Muslim (unintelligible).”<\/p>\n

U.S. intelligence officials described the event as another example of “an aggressive and sophisticated propaganda campaign.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And by “U.S. intelligence officials,” Ross presumably means those same folks who believed 911 would never happen, that Islamic terrorism was a phantom threat (cough cough Larry Johnson cough), and who, in a show of political gamesmanship, sent lazy gadfly and CIA house husband Joe Wilson off to uncover the “truth” about Saddam’s nuclear ambitions and connections to terror states.<\/p>\n

Others take it very seriously.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t take too many who are willing to actually do it and be able to slip through the net and get into the United States or England and cause a lot of damage,” said ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, the former White House counterterrorism official.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Uh oh. When last seen, Clarke was an adopted hero to the left.<\/p>\n

His taking this whole ludicrous “global war” thing seriously might mean his open invitation to the finest salons in Manhattan and Georgetown could be revoked with extreme prejudice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

For his part, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has denied hearing anything about this report, explaining to reporters that it likely exists only in that one America that he doesn’t frequent — “unless, like, I’m craving a Big Mac or a Zagnut or something.”<\/p>\n
