Osama, Saddam dead.. Gadaffi, Mullah, Kim Jong Ill and Ayman are still alive...







United States of America and its allies have many enemies.

Their Greatest enemies past and present include North Korean Leader Kim Jong Ill, Al Qaeda no.1 and big boss Osama bin Laden, Iraqi President Saddam Hussein, Al Qaeda no. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri, Taliban no.1 leader Mullah Mohamed Omar and Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi.

Saddam and Osama are already dead.

Mullah, Ayman, Gaddafi and Kim Jong Ill are still alive and well.

Let's review the status of each and every person listed here which the US hated most.


Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti was the fifth President of Iraq before his government was overthrown by US led forces in March 2003

Captured on 13 December 2003, Saddam was brought to trial under the Iraqi interim government. On 5 November 2006, he was convicted of charges related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites and was sentenced to death by hanging. Saddam was executed on 30 December 2006

Saddam and most of his right hand men might be dead but the almost daily killings, bombings and anarchy in Iraq, never stop till today.


Osama bin Laden, the Al Qaeda number 1 and considered as the most wanted man in the world and universe was killed by the elite commando unit - US Navy Seal during a savage firefight at a heavily fortified fortress in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on 2nd May 2011.



Osama masterminded the worst ever terrorist attack on US soil on September 11, 2001 by Al Qaeda operatives.

On that fateful day, 19 Al Qaeda operatives led by Mohammad Atta hijacked 4 airliners and slammed 3 passenger airliners into America's landmark, the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon, killing over 3,000 innocent men and women including 343 firefighters and 60 police officers.

The fourth airliner enroute to the White House or the Capitol Building in Washington crashed in Pennsylvania after the passengers fought back.

According to FBI, Osama bin Laden is wanted for murder of U.S. Nationals Outside the United States, conspiracy to Murder U.S. Nationals Outside the United States, attack on a Federal Facility Resulting in Death and many more terrorism acts including the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya. These attacks killed over 200 people.

REWARD offered : USD$25 million for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Osama Bin Laden. An additional $2 million is being offered through a program developed and funded by the Airline Pilots Association and the Air Transport Association.


Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the 2nd in command of Al Qaeda has been indicted for his alleged role in the August 7, 1998, bombings of the United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi, Kenya.

Before the death of Osama bin Laden, Ayman is Al Qaeda no.2 and now that Osama bin Laden is dead, Ayman will almost be elevated as the new Al Qaeda boss/leader/commander in chief.

The FBI most wanted terrorists web site said "The United States Department of State, is offering a reward of up to USD$25 million for information leading directly to the apprehension or conviction of Ayman Al-Zawahiri.


Muammar Gaddafi till today remained defiant and fought back against those who want him removed as the undisputed leader of Libya since September 1969.

His official residence was bombed many times including in 1986 and on 1st May 2011that killed one of his sons, but Gaddafi is still alive.

On Saturday 30th April 2011, Muammar Gaddafi has said that he will not leave Libya and that he is still prepared to enter a ceasefire but only if all sides are involved.

“I’m not leaving my country,” he said in a live address on state television.

“No one can force me to leave my country and no one can tell me not to fight for my country.”


The Dear Leader, Kim Jong Ill is the leader of North Korea since the death of his father Kim Ill Sung.

Despised by America and its allies, Kim Jong Ill has vowed to fight back with devastating consequences if his country is attacked by the USA or its allies.

North Korea is one of the world's greatest military in terms of personells and strength.

The reclusive leader also boasted of having significant nuclear weapons in his arsenal, capable of annihilating mankind!!!



Mullah Mohamed Omar is the no.1 leader of the Taliban.

Now gone into hiding since the invasion of Afghanistan by US Forces in December 2001.

Mullah fought bravely during the 10 year Soviet occupation in Afghanistan between 1979 to 1988, killing many Soviet soldiers as well as destroying significant number of Soviet's tanks and Armed personell carriers, APC.

Mullah has only one functioning eye, the left eye was blinded by sharpnel during one of his hundreds of combat actions in the deserts of Kandahar, Jalalabad and Baghram.

His whereabouts is unknown. Wether the One Eyed Taliban Bandit is hiding in the rugged terrains of Pakistan or Afghanistan is still a great mystery.

However Mullah is reported to organise or plan suicide and guerrilla style attacks against the US led coalition forces until now.

Long Live the world.. thanks for reading...

Selepas kematian Osama bin Laden, kini Mullah Mohamed Omar pula diburu





Pemimpin tertinggi Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden terbunuh dalam serangan komando elit tentera laut Amerika dikenali Navy Seal di kediaman mewah dan dikawal rapi di Abbottabad, Pakistan, pada tengah malam Isnin 2 Mei 2011.




Selepas kematian Osama bin Laden, tumpuan USA/NATO/CIA kini terarah kepada usaha memburu seorang lagi pemimpin pengganas iaitu pemerintah no.1 Taliban Mullah Mohamed Omar.

Mullah hanya ada 1 mata saja sebab 1 lagi buta masa perang dan berbeza dengan Osama bin Laden yang pernah ditemubual media dan digambar, Mullah tidak membenarkan sama sekali dirinya digambar..

Siapa yang melanggar perintah itu nescaya kepalanya akan ditembak dari jarak dekat menggunakan raifal automatik buatan Soviet Union, AK47 Kalashnikov rifle!!!

Mullah telah memusnahkan banyak kereta kebal Soviet Union ketika perang Afghanistan semasa pendudukan USSR di Afghanistan 1980-1988 termasuk di Jalalabad dan Kandahar.

Setelah Afghanistan ditakluki pula tentera Amerika Syarikat, Mullah dilaporkan merancang aktiviti perang gerila termasuk pengebom berani mati ke atas Tentera Amerika Syarikat dan sekutunya di Afghanistan.

Mullah yang dilahirkan pada 1959 kini dilaporkan bersembunyi di wilayah Pashtun samada di Pakistan atau Afghanistan.

Amerika Syarikat menawarkan ganjaran US25 juta kepada sesiapa yang memberi maklumat hingga tertangkapnya Mullah.

Dimana engkau berada sekarang wahai Mullah....???

Sipadan island, always on the headlines, in good times and bad times




Sipadan island, off Semporna waters in Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia is a divers paradise - ranked top five diving destination in the world.

Recommended length of stay: 5 - 14 days, including the nearby islands

Malaysian Airlines flies daily from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and is reported to introduce direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau (nearest airport to Sipadan)

Plans are underway to declare Sipadan island as a World Heritage site - the 2nd in Sabah after the world famous Mount Kinabalu..





The island itself has attracted world headlines in the past years - not only for its mouthwatering and peerless beauty, but also due to a few unpleasent incidents - such as the raid and kidnapping of foreign and local tourists in April 2000 by the Abu Sayyaf.


The 21 hostages were only released after many months being held captive in scattered locations in jungles in Jolo, Southern Phillipines - some via ransom money payment and some via direct negotiations which also involved the Libyan and Malaysian government.


Among the chief negotiator on behalf of the Malaysian government were Datuk Sairin Karno - now state assemblyman for Liawan, Keningau, Sabah Progressive Party President and ex Sabah chief Minister - Datuk Yong Teck Lee and a few others.

6 Malaysians including a policeman from Semporna - Abdul Jawah Selawat were among the kidnap victims.

The others among others were Fong Kin Yen, Basilius Jim, Balakrishnan Nair and Francis Masangkim.

Other hostages were from Lebanon, South Africa and France.

The whole incident was dubbed "Terror in Paradise"..





The Abu Sayyaf group who did the daring Pulau Sipadan raid was led by Ghalib Andang aka. Commander Robot.. he was arrested in 2003.


Other notabale Abu Sayyaf leaders are Mujib Susukan, Abu Sabaya, Isnilon Hapnilon and Komander Global, it was reported that most of them had died in gun battles with the Phillipines forces.



Since the incident, the Malaysian government has beefed up security off Sabah waters, including stationing the Army and Police on a permanent basis at Sipadan island.


Abu Sayyaf or The Father of Sword is a lawless group, was found by AbduRazak Abu Bakar Janjalani in 1991... it consisted of radical members of the MNLF, Moro National Liberation Front.

AbduRazak was slain in a gunbattle with the Phillipines Armed Forces possibly n 1998 and replaced by his brother - Khadaffy Janjalani.

Abu Sayyaf normally operates in the island of Jolo and Basilan, in the Southern Phillipines.

The group was also responsible for another kidnapping off Sabah waters in Pandanan island, also in the year 2000 where 3 Malaysians were kidnapped at gun point and subsequently released unharmed after ransom payment.



Abu Sayyaf was also behind the infamous kidnapping of US couple - Martin and Gracia Burnham on May 27, 2001 at a Palawan resort -Dos Palmas.

Gracia escaped but Martin died after a gun battle with Phillipines forces - one year later - on 7 June 2002.

The United States Department of States has branded the group a terrorist entity because of its activities and purpoted alignment to Jemaah Islamiyah and Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda.

On a brighter note - this is a news report by the New Straits Times about the handing over of adminsitration of Sipadan island from the federal government to the Sabah state government.


KOTA KINABALU: Winds of change are blowing over Pulau Sipadan with the imminent handover of the island to the state government.


The National Security Council in the Prime Minister's Department is now in the final process of handing over the administration of the world-famous diving spot."This has always been the plan.


The island was handed over to the Federal Government in 2002 by the International Court of Justice in a territorial dispute with Indonesia.


"Now that things are settled, the island will be returned to the Sabah government," said state Tourism, Environment and Culture Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun.


The state government will form a small panel headed by an assistant minister to tackle the various issues brought up by tourists and dive operators, and Sabah Parks will handle the day-to-day running of the island.


"There will be less red tape and we will be able to manage it more efficiently," said Masidi.One of the first issues to be tackled is the limit of 120 divers per day on the island.


It was put into place several years ago to protect Sipadan's delicate ecosystem.But as the island's fame spread, more dive operators set up shop, and the complex distribution of the diving permits often leaves tourists, who have travelled thousands of kilometres to get there, disappointed.


A proposal is being looked into to modify the limitation and allow 120 divers in the morning, and another 120 in the afternoon each day."This will allow more divers to experience the underwater splendours of Sipadan without overburdening the island."


The island, off the east coast of Sabah, has hit the headlines several times, but not always for its reputation as a premier dive spot.


In 2000, gun-toting Abu Sayyaf terrorists stormed the island and kidnapped 21 divers and resort workers, and held them hostage. All were eventually released.


In 2004, all dive operators on Sipadan were told to move their structures from the island to conserve its ecosystem and corals. The move created much scepticism and controversy.


In 2006, a barge carrying tonnes of building material beached on the island, damaging a significant portion of reef. The materials were said to be for a million ringgit tourist facility with a rest house, toilets and scuba shop.

The idea was scrapped due to widespread objections and a more modest project was proposed.
