Suspected Islamic Terrorists Arrested For Planning Bomb Attacks On US Sites In Germany

AP:

Three suspected Islamic terrorists from an al-Qaida-influenced group nursing "profound hatred of U.S. citizens" were arrested on suspicious of plotting imminent, massive bomb attacks on U.S. facilities in Germany, prosecutors said Wednesday.

German Federal Prosecutor Monika Harms said the three, two of whom were German converts to Islam, had trained at camps in Pakistan run by the Islamic Jihad Union, a group based in Central Asia. They had obtained some 1,500 pounds of hydrogen peroxide for making explosives.

This may all be perfectly true, but did you notice that it comes up just when the report on the surge in Iraq is coming out?????

[loki]

Lets see, this is coming about not long before the heavy campaign season for Presidents chair. Sounds like typical GOP campaign strategy. build up the fear factor.

[sugarmoes]

looks like al qaeda is alive and well, recruiting even, and expanding to new ventures and not "on the run", dying, certainly not isolated in iraq, flocking to iraq even, like the decider has been telling us.

has anyone said heckuva job gorge wasted bushed yet?

heckuva job waste.

[StoptheNazis]

I am just curious as to how much Cheney was paying those guys to pull off the false flag attack.

[StoptheNazis]

The Germans and the CIA should get their act together. Someone really blew it on the briefings. Sept. 11, not September 5, and AFTER the attack not BEFORE.

[CyrusBeaucephus]

The official version of 911 is a joke. We have not been attacked since, even though our borders are wide open. They love to harp on the fact that there have been no further attacks, and they say that so often that it almost seems like they control terror, at least to those of us who don't trust them at all

[HumeSkeptic]

No one has helped al Qaeda more in their recruitment efforts than the Decider.

[Hallucinocynic]

1500# of hydrogen peroxide..­.boy, that's a lot less blondes in the world...

Okay, so here's the question: why would some German middle-class (assumption) white guys turn to Islam? Why do these kids have to keep hooking up with foreign terrorists? Is it the food? Friday night sleepovers? What's wrong with good ol' homegrown Naziism?

[StoptheNazis]

Did it say they were Muslim or just plain ordinary America hater which abound all around the world.

[HermioneGranger]

Well spoken from the country of homegrown fascist George W. and Prescott Bush

[Hallucinocynic]

True, fascism knows no boundaries, and wants no boundaries.

[steamboat]

Because there a bunch of losers like a Jose Padilla, a John Walker Linhd. Don't forget, they got those idiot skinheads, Red Brigade, what have you coming out of that area.

[HumeSkeptic]

Germans are pussies. We, the Real Men, would have attacked and destroyed at leat one country in retaliation. It doesn't matter which one, as long as it had oil.

This is not how one fights terrorism - by arresting terrorists. The way to do it is with nuclear bombs.

[StoptheNazis]

Yes, I see that our Glorious Leader was in Australia yesterday espousing the benefits of nuclear power over fossil fuels.

For everyone of course except Iran who wants to build a nuclear POWER plant and that is all.

Those Iranians should know that ONLY the USA and its AXIS powers are allowed to have nuclear power.

[HumeSkeptic]

But, supposing that Iran does want to develop a capability to produce nuclear weapons, can we really blame them?

The fact that the US has consistently refused to talk to Iranians is a clear indication that we are itching for a chance to attack them, and not have a peaceful resolution of issues, because it would almost certainly not include US getting control of their oil.

To the extent that Iranians are “crazy”, they are not crazy enough to abandon their plans for nuclear weapons capability. Use Google to find out how Iran is now surrounded by US military bases. Their only chance of avoiding a US attack, and saving their national resources, is to have nuclear weapons. Some of them may be crazy, but they wouldn’t have to be to understand that US does not attack countries with nuclear weapons.

Somthin tells me after the Repiglican party gets reamed next year (as seems rather likely) those ole speaking fees are going to dwindle, shrink, retreat like Dick Cheney's ----.

Noone loves a loser, George, and you are bidding fair to be the biggest loser ever amongst x-presidents.

LBJ, well, he did accomplish some things on the home front, like

Civil Rights Act

you know, George, little things like that.

German, Danish police thwart advanced terror plots
McClatchy Newspapers via Yahoo! News - 29 minutes agoBERLIN— German and Danish police thwarted separate large-scale terror plots within 24 hours this week, both involving nationals who were in possession of bomb-making materials.

Danish authorities Tuesday announced the arrests of nine suspects, both Danish nationals and a variety of immigrant backgrounds, in Copenhagen .

Both groups had been under surveillance for months. In Germany , those arrested were alleged to be in possession of enough materials to make a bomb with the force of 1,200 pounds of TNT


Thank Jesus it was the German and Danish police that made the arrests BEFORE anything happened. The CIA and FBI and Army Intelligence would have waited until AFTER the attacks to make the arrests, thus giving Bu$holini an opportunity to say 'see I told you so'...

[StoptheNazis]

Why do you think Bush and Cheney are LIVID??? They blew it.

Now BushCo has to start all over and this time the guys better not get caught until they have done the deed.

[Amennyc]

How naive and stupid can Bushit get? You start a war and think people are not going to react and fight back? Bush thinks Muslims should just be baking apple pies for the troops. This is all a result of Bushit.
Bush opend this pandoras box. The world will only calm down when he is sent to the Hague for war crimes.

[StoptheNazis]

Hey, stop the Bush bashing.

You know damn well, that if America was attacked and occupied and Americans women and kids killed for 'kicks' we would love and embrace the people who did it because we are Christians and turn the other cheek. Now there would be some insurgent Americans who would be collaborators with the invaders but we would root them out.

[ResidentChimp]

Typical terrorists propaganda. You're already a terrorists' collaborator.

[Crozier]

Fear is the Friend of Fascists. Fascism is the foe of freedom. Fascists fight Freedom-loving Followers.

War is the weapon of fascist warriors. Having de-stabilised the region for greed of black gold and other geopolitical advantages, the industrialised globalists steal the treasure of that region's treasure and with it, their freedoms.

Socialists, progressives, liberals and other true freedom-loving peoples, and yes REAL TORIES, must actively declare "war" on fascists and the global corporatist agenda.

Regardless of what passport(s) these national traitors carry, know that their goal is corporate international government. The New World Order brought to you by fascists posing and using the shell of the once honourable GOP.

[bibisad]

We can thank the American dream of death and destruction. We (pentagon/­Cia/bushcr­ime family/american public) love to create anger and hatred.

[ResidentChimp]

Huffers, like Hume Skeptic, are always ready to jump to the terrorists' defense by blaming America first. Terrorism is always our fault.

[StoptheNazis]

No terrorism is not your fault.

In fact, the Iraqis (especially the men who have had their women and kids blown to smithereens) are most grateful to you for liberating them from that nagging wife.

[ResidentChimp]

As they were most grateful for us liberating them from that trip off the two story rooftop while their hands were tied behind their backs. Or when their nagging wives were gang raped in front of them by the ba'athists. Of course, just because the majority of the murders being perpatrated in Iraq are by the terrorists, we must blame America first. That's always the Huffers refrain. Just like encouraging Captain EdwardGraham to spew his anti-American drivel.

[HumeSkeptic]

That's exactly what I've been saying. After all this we have done for (to?) Iraqis, they remain utterly ungrateful to us.

Are all brown people rude and ungrateful?

[bluesnot]

Hume is in a class of her own. Seems like there are more foreigners posting here than Americans.

[HumeSkeptic]

Oh! the Genius is back. How's that "terrist" fight going in that basement, bluesnot? Killed any recently, or are you losing that magic touch with your joystick?

[StoptheNazis]

Remember that Iranian Airbus civilian airliner that was shot down by a US Navy missile back in the 80's?

Those Iranian families have so little gratitude for Americans liberating them from those nasty relatives.

[ResidentChimp]

Please provide a link. I would be interested in reading about it.

[HumeSkeptic]

Iranians are so rude, especially those families.

[HumeSkeptic]

And, of course, you are just about to provide evidence of my "terrorists' defense", Chimp. I'll be waiting.

It is OK to have an opinion, Chimp, but when you make shit up to support that opinion, that makes you a filthy liar.

[ResidentChimp]

Just read your own posts. Calling up your demon pal Captain EdwardsGraham and encouraging him to spout the hate is a clear indication of where your loyalities lie; and it's not with America.

[HumeSkeptic]

Terrorism is always our fault. -ResidentChimp

Come to think of it. You might have a point. Although, I wouldn't go as far to say "always".

[CyrusBeaucephus]

The old straw man

[ljc]

This morning on Fox & Freaks they were doing a report on this. In the background they were showing bombs exploding, soldiers running around shooting, destroyers blasting artillary. For a second I thought I saw a mushroom cloud. These people are fools.....

[StoptheNazis]

Perhaps this is just a front for some other terrorists who are hellbent on blowing up Ramstein BX, Popeyes, and the Officers Club. I bet when they get caught they will be Iranians.

German police, get your briefings correct. Its Iranians NOT Pakistanis.

[exflatlander]

Not Pakistanis and one Turk trained in Afghanistan, that is.

Can someone tell me why this isn't the HuffPo headline? Is Craig's waffling on resignation more important than a plot to blow up an American base?

[StoptheNazis]

I wonder where Delores is........­hmmmmmmm perhaps her boyfriend just got nabbed?
