Today’s excerpt is from Baghdad
Butcher, Book #1 of the Janitors Series. The al-Qaida terrorist in charge of the Los
Angeles area makes his plan for killing Jim Scott, and then turns to his
planning for his assigned terrorist attack on the movie industry. Enjoy and have a fantastic, day.
m.j.
That task
completed, he turned to another matter.
While he was part of the Iraqi operation, unknown to nearly anyone else
in it, his first allegiance was to bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror network. Thus his next step was to write a carefully
prepared text to bin Laden and send it by courier to the master of terror.
In his letter to
bin Laden, Alwash informed his chief that the President of the United States
had authorized one Jim Scott to kill Saddam.
Since a good portion of the raw drugs Saddam was refining came from bin
Laden and his Taliban thugs, the presumed rulers of Afghanistan, Alwash warned
of potential damage to one of al-Qaida’s money sources.
In the letter he
assured bin Laden that Jim Scott would be eliminated in Los Angeles.
With his letter
underway, Alwash next began detailed planning to arrange the promised death of
Jim. All of his men were instructed to
treat Jim and Holly as targets of opportunity, but only in a way to succeed
without capture.
His main plan
was to lead them into a cleverly laid trap.
He tried to put himself in Scott’s shoes, and felt it quite likely that
his new enemy would interfere with one of the drug ring operations, following
those interfered with to their headquarters when they went to report what had
happened.
The al-Qaida
operative decided to set the trap at a warehouse his group owned near a
pier. The warehouse was in a location
with little other activity in the area and offered a prime setting for a trap. A large truck could be pulled out to cut off
escape once Scott followed his men past the truck. Then it would be a simple matter to overwhelm
his foe with the firepower of his entire network of Iraqis.
The
tractor-trailer he would employ to seal off escape was being used to train some
of his men. Unlike Adda and the other
terrorists who were training on the East Coast, his assignment from bin Laden
centered around the use of big-rig trucks.
His only concern in that area was the few al-Qaida operatives at his
disposal. The two best men he had, he
kept near him at all times, now that the two men the female FBI Agent had
broken were no longer in the picture.
While those two
had not been al-Qaida, they had been two of his closest aides in the drug
business. In fact, one of those two was
being groomed to take over the drug operation when the word came from bin Laden
to act.
He wondered when
that word would come. Unlike those poor
fools on the East Coast, he and his men were not wont to the idea of
self-destruction. His team would park
their bomb-laden trucks in various locations best-suited to eliminating as much
of the West Coast entertainment industry as possible.
