Al Qaeda In Thailand?

South Korean mission seeks info about suspected Al Qaeda man

KARACHI: South Korea has sought information from Islamabad about a Thailand-based Pakistani businessman whom the South Korean authorities believe have links with Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network, sources in the interior ministry told the Daily Times on Thursday.

The sources at the FIA headquarters in Islamabad told this reporter by phone that the South Korean embassy in Islamabad recently sent a letter to the Director-General of the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) through their counsellor, Sung Chi Young, requesting him to provide information about a Pakistani national, Javaid Khan, who ran a boutique in Bangkok, Thailand, under the name of Nasir’s Boutique Company Limited.

The sources said South Korean authorities believed that Javaid was involved in organising Al Qaeda in South Korea.

The South Korean authorities, the sources said, had sought past criminal record of Javaid, if any.

In January this year a letter was received at the South Korean embassy in Thailand threatening attacks against South Korean airlines, companies and affiliated organisations. The letter was signed by the “Anti-Korean Interests Agency.”

According to the National Intelligence Service, an Al Qaeda operative entered South Korea last year from Southeast Asia to evaluate and collect information about potential US targets in the country. The man was later arrested in Pakistan and is now in US custody.

The sources said when checked by Pakistani intelligence personnel the address given on Javaid’s passport issued by the Pakistani embassy in Bangkok was found false and so was his business address “Javaid Khan Import & Export Crystal and Garment Leather” in Nazimabad, Karachi.

The South Korean embassy’s request, however, does not mention details about Javaid or the purpose for which the information are required.

And I suspect, Tex you've got your head in the sand.

Thailand has an ongoing seperatist struggle with islamists, Thailand suported attacks on Al Q in Afganistan (provided use of airbases from which US airforce missions where launched) and was where a known member of the Indonesian wing of Al Q chose to run to (Ayutthaya), and more recently Thailand has been shown to be a major identity forging centre.

Al Q might not be in Thailand ... but what are the chances?

There is no doubt that Al Queda is here--remember Hambali. The question is what are they doing here. My guess is that they are busy getting fake passports and other documents and laundering a little money.

Thus far they haven't shown much interest in the situation in the South--not that that couldn't change. The situation in the South is confusing, it's difficult to figure out if it's a separatist/racial/religious/linguistic insurgency or what combination of them it might be.

If Al Queda does get involved, they will lose a pretty valuable "hub" for getting their fake paperwork done and that would affect bigger operations.

The Thai Government has supported the Iraq invasion making Thailand a prime Islamic terrorist target.

Would anyone here be suprised of a Bali style attack at Nana Plaza?

The place is an obvious terrorist target. Still a carbomber could drive right in on a Friday nite.

How expensive would it be to put a couple concrete barricades out front?

Could be a lethal blow to the Thai economy.
