Arizona hotbed for Terrorism Scarborough Country, MSNBC, July 23, 2004 On Friday, July 23, the Clark family watched "Scarborough Country" on MSNBC.and shared this with others. The guest was NBC terrorism expert Steve Emerson who was discussing the 9/11 Commission Report. They heard something so terrifying regarding Arizona. The following is a partial transcript of the actual conversation: SCARBOROUGH: ...Tell us about how Arizona was ground zero for al Qaeda recruitment and training. EMERSON: You know, Joe, there is an intriguing and an incredible footnote... it's footnote 58... But al Qaeda figures at the university in Tucson included Mohammed—Mubarak al-Douri (ph), reportedly bin Laden‘s principal procurement agent for weapons of mass destruction, Mohamed Bozayed (ph), an al Qaeda arms procurer, Wahid al-Hage (ph), an operative who was linked to the East Africa bombings, Walid Julidon (ph), a Saudi extremist who has also been linked to al Qaeda. And I can tell you there are many others who were living in Tucson or Phoenix since the mid 1980s that were the key command-and-control for bin Laden in the United States. And it's one of those enigmas as to why that state became ground central. But clearly it had the highest concentration of top al Qaeda terrorists until 9/11. SCARBOROUGH: But no answers as to why Arizona itself or the Phoenix area attracted so many al Qaeda terrorists? EMERSON: Well, it's not just al Qaeda. There was also Hamas actually set up its command in Tucson in the mid-1980s. And I can tell you from my other investigations that there were at least five other Islamic terrorist groups who set up command-and- control from Tempe, Arizona, down to Tucson. And I can only speculate that it has to do with the fact that terrorists enrolled at the universities extended their ability to stay in the United States and then brought over families. And this developed a whole pattern of others who basically migrated there because that's where they found it most safe to operate.
