The next terror threat facing the United States is not a nuclear or gas attack but an electro-magnetic bomb or e-bomb - which would shut down telecommunications networks, disrupt power supplies, and destroy countless computers and electronic gadgets, yet still leave buildings, bridges and roads intact. This is according to Khalid Khawaja, a former Pakistani intelligence officer who once worked closely with Osama bin Laden. "The e-bomb shall be the new threat for the USA, not the nukes or gas attacks," said Khawaja in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).
(Really... jihadists intending to not harm anyone? But that is against the orders of Allah as in the Koran, therefore I would suggest that despite Khawaja's claim that jihadists would like to hurt America without harming people is false. No way would a real Islamic jihadist plan to not harm infidels, for that's an integral part of jihad)Khawaja was a senior official of Pakistani secret service ISI when they were fueling jihadi resistance movements against the Soviets in Afghanistan, and after being forced to retire from the air force, he went to Afghanistan and fought along side with Osama bin Laden. the leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

Khawaja said he overheard references to a plan to use an e-bomb and a project to destroy US satellites, all with the single objective of crippling the American system without actually harming anyone.
Khalid Khawaja: I am very familiar with this name. See "CP"'s info on Khawaja here.
Khawaja quoted (via CP):
"I would say that Osama bin Laden is a man like an angel."
"I would basically agree that jihad is one of the most important factors in our religion."
Khawaja is associated with the terror training cult Jamaat ul Fuqra, which has terrorist training camps in the US and Canada (I've posted quite a bit on JuF in the past here on TCS). For extensive information on Jamaat ul Fuqra, again see here, courtesy of the diligent research of "CP".
I have also posted on the danger of an EMP bomb to the Free World... posed by, you guessed it, Iran. So I'm taking this very seriously. Combine Iran's having tested special air-burst missiles which would be used for EMP bombs with Khawaja's warning that AQ intends to use EMP against America and we have another dimension to the nature of the threat to the Free World.
