also Hesbah thread number 195032

Hani al-Siba'i is a main communications hub of the Egyptian side of al-Qa'ida, and one of Hesbah's most senior members. He is wanted in Egypt for his part in the 1990's terrorpalooza committed by what was then called Egyptian Islamic Jihad. To this day, al-Siba'i asserts his unconditional felicity to Usama Bin Ladin and Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Al-Siba'i claims that Home Office (the interior ministry) has ordered him to leave the UK within six months, on the grounds that he is a threat to British national security. I have no corroboration for his claim, but his outburst is rather long and panicky-sounding, so I think it is true. Whether London will actually do anything about him in six months' time is an entirely different question. Hani al-Siba'i has been under a travel embargo by the UN Security Council for years, as a known al-Qa'ida and EIJ affiliate; the travel ban could well be London's next excuse for permitting him to operate in London.

No word yet from the press, or from Islamist propaganda groups in the UK, such as cageprisoners. I'll bet we will see al-Siba'i again on al-Jazeera in London, soon, raving about the injustice of Kufr against Islam. That's what al-Jazeera wants him to do, and they can rely on him to do it.

Dar al-Hayat in Lebanon noticed al-Siba'i's predicament (http://www.daralhayat.com/world_news/europe/10-2008/Article-20081011-ed667e80-c0a8-10ed-00aa-b9bd269f796f/story.html), and there's a lengthy thread at Hesbah about it, but apart from that, it's getting almost no attention. Odd. I expected that the British press would tell its readers that London is taking the almost unprecedented step of kicking out an al-Qa'ida member. And why isn't cageprisoners screaming rape, as they always do at any legal action against any Muslim?

I still have no corroboration that London has told al-Siba'i to leave. Dar al-Hayat is only quoting al-Siba'i from his website. Maybe al-Siba'i is just lying or exaggerating in the hope of provoking outrage at the British "tyrants" (which is how some of his friends are describing the people who have harboured al-Siba'i for ten years).

Now that CBS has noticed (http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2008/10/14/monitor/entry4519980.shtml) al-Siba'i's bleating, maybe Islamic Rage Boy will jump aboard too.

The British tabloid extraordinaire The Sun reported yesterday (http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1810318.ece) that Home Office has secretly given al-Siba'i "discretionary leave" to remain in the UK until 2011. Their source seems to be an MP, whom they name. Al-Siba'i today denied it, on Hesbah and on his own website, and reiterated that they ordered him to get out within six months.
The Sun article does not mention al-Siba'i's claim, but presumably it is not just a coincidence that they have noticed him so soon after he made it. Personally I very much doubt that anybody in London will kick out Hani al-Siba'i, in any circumstances, and I'm wondering why he is saying they intend to. He might be soliciting for money from readers of Hesbah and Maqreze, or he might be planning to do so. He did mention that his finances were frozen by the UN Security Council. (He and his kids are on the dole now.)

Al-Siba'i is on al-Jazeera this weekend, in an interview recorded at their Londonistan studio. According to his own announcement, he goes on about counter-terrorism surveillance of the internet, and the deportation of, well, guys like himself.

Al-Siba'i has supporters on Hesbah, where he is a top-level member, including a pretty sinister Yemeni whom I am trying to identify. On the other hand, al-Siba'i's absolute conformity to al-Qa'ida dogma, which at the moment is anti-Hamas, is making him some enemies in the Palestinian subculture.

Wandering from the topic a bit, very few Palestinians every went to Afghanistan or later joined AQ or the Taliban. But the anti-Hamas fashion has brought the main exception -- Abdullah Azzam -- back into the limelight, although he was killed almost 20 years ago.
