3. The Death of a North Texan in Pakistan
3:00am Friday Morning, November 18, 2011 Karachi, Pakistan
Pakistani Sindh Rangers, acting on information from terror
suspects, raid an apartment on the 3rd floor of a building
located in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar neighborhood. Just before
reaching the door, there is an explosion and the officers
find the suspect dead. He is identified as 36 year old Abdul
Moeedul Islam, “a commandeering chief of al-Qaeda in
Pakistan” who killed himself with a grenade. The suspect
had “computers” and the US cash equivalent of over $1.5
million dollars.
They stated that “Mooed was a Yemen national, but also
possessed Pakistani citizenship. He had come to Pakistan
13 to 15 years ago. He was trained in militant camps in
Afghanistan and later appointed as al-Qaeda commander
in Pakistan” and a few months earlier “had a dispute with
his wife, who got a divorce from a court.”
The next day officials reveal that the dead al-Qaeda chief
was an American and had a US passport with the name of
Moeed Abdul Salam and son of Hasna Shaheen Salam.

5. Moeed Abdul Salam – al-Qaeda Operative?
Immediately, there were questions and suspicions about Moeed’s death and his connections to terrorists. An
denials that Shaheen knew anything about her son’s activities with a-Qaeda.
One report “did not find any link between the suspect and any local or international terrorist outfit and the
suspect had no criminal or terrorism record” and noted it was odd the “Rangers did not let any other law
enforcement agency have access to evidence or the blast site.”
After claiming their son’s body from the morgue, Moeed’s parents were reported to have said “that their son
did not commit suicide” and asked that a “proper inquiry be conducted”.
In January 2012, Moeed death and connection to North Texas becomes public knowledge in a Dallas morning
news article entitled “Family of man thought to be al-Qaeda operative is known for interfaith work in Dallas-
Fort Worth”. Christopher Parr, who worked with Shaheen Salam at the Plano Multicultural Outreach
Roundtable said that Shaheen Salam “doesn’t want to talk about it because it is too painful” and “they didn’t
know where he was or what he was doing.”
Other family friends echoed the premise that Salam’s parents didn’t know about his involvement in al-
Qaeda, including Mike Ghouse, president of the Foundation for Pluralism in Dallas, who said “The one thing I
can tell you is that his parents had nothing to do with it, his mother would not have put up with it.”
Mohamed Elibiary, who is a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, recalls that the Salam’s
“were pillars of the community as I was growing up” in North Texas.

6. Was Shaheen Really Completely Unaware of her son’s Activism?
In spite of her friends’ adamant defense that
Moeed’s mother “didn’t know where he was or
what he was doing”, her Facebook activities hint
otherwise.

worth.ece
http://www.facebook.com/moeed.salam?fref=ts Shaheen Salam had been a Facebook “friend” of
her son Moeed Salam since 2009.
In August of 2011, she shared a link via Moeed
Salam regarding the celebration of Laylat al-Qadr.
A few weeks later, on October 14, “He had also
recently linked to a document praising al-Awlaki
martyrdom and to a message urging Muslims to
rejoice "in this time when you see the mujahideen
all over the world victorious“.

7. Mrs. Salam would have noticed that Moeed also posted this picture of the burning USA flag and
American born terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by a drone strike, ordered by
President Obama on September 30, 2011.
If the Americans want me, then let them find me, and Allah is the Best of Protectors. If
Allah Almighty wills to save me from them. If the Americans were to spend all the wealth
in the world, they will never reach me and if Allah wills that my death be at their hands,
or the hands of their agents, then this is my dream.”

8. Moeed Salam aka Abu
Umar, al-Qaeda Operative
Any doubt of Moeed’s activism was erased when the Jihadi
Media Outlet “Global Islamic Media Front” (GIMF) released a
statement celebrated the death of “Yemeni citizen Abdel
Moeed Bin Abd al-Salam aka “Abu Umar” noting.
“He established diffuse Jihadi media groups and trained his brothers who followed the path
of the Jihadi media. He administrated many websites and Jihadi forums, and he guided and
planned and attacked the enemy masterfully. He led the Jihadi forums and websites of
splendor, attacking the strongholds of arrogance and infidelity, weakening the determination
of its troops, and sabotaging their great media plans”.
“And after a period of time, in 2001, when the knights of Qaedat al-Jihad executed the
Manhattan raid in the land of infidelity America where our hero lived with his family, our
brother heard the news of the blessed operation from his father, and his yearning for Jihad
and fighting in the path of Allah increased, as did his desire to live among the Mujahideen
happily. So when the Crusader attack was launched on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, he
changed his life completely and left all the comforts of the world and its concerns, dedicating
his life to the support of Jihad and thwarting the oppression and aggression against the
Islamic Ummah.” http://azelin.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/the-global-islamic-media-front-statement-on-the-martyrdom-of-one-of-its-
commanders-and-knight-of-knights-the-brother-abc5ab-umar-en.pdf

9. In the eleven months after Moeed’s
death, Pakistani Taliban mounted at least
ten revenge attacks on Rangers.
The November 2012 attack “was the fifth deadly
attack on paramilitary soldiers in Karachi within
a span of just 11 months. Another five potential
threats targeting Rangers have been averted
within the same period, all of which seem to
have taken off soon after the killing of Moeed
Abdul Salam”.
If Moeed Salam was not a valuable
asset of al-Qaeda, they put a lot
effort into “faking” it.

10. Shaheen Salam continues to
be a big supporter of Harry
LaRosiliere, and still refuses to
publically discuss the death of
her son and his connection to
the Global Terrorism Network.
