It really is amazing that Jordan, Turkey, Saudia Arabia, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Indonesia have all suffered from Terrorists Attacks. But I am not aware of IRAN or SYRIA having the problem.

Hmmmm!

What caught my attention was Azmi al-Jayousi's statement that he received his training from Al-Zawahiri "in Iraq, prior to the fall of Afghanistan.'

This simple statement proves, once and for all, that there was a relationship between Al-Qaeda and Iraq prior to the beginning of the Liberation of Iraq, just like the president said there was.

Zawahiri is not a chemist, suggesting that the tools and techniques for the explosive-chemical hybrids were supplied by the Iraqis.

[Beckwith]

I meant al-Zarqawi not Al-Zawahiri. Got my maggots coinfused.

[The G Man]

All this talk about them getting the chemicals from Iraq is nonsense. Everyone knows you can just get them here:

Did you notice when they showed the video, the guy was missing half a finger????

This doesn't bode well for the region. Al Qaeda's ability to organize a WMD strike against other Arabs indicates to me that unless we can dismantle the regimes in Iran and Syria, there is going to be complete chaos shortly in the Middle East. If this attack had succeeded on that kind of scale, the region would have been plunged into war (Jordan vs. Syria, Israel vs. Iran).

[Tribune7]

I know. They remind me of the atheist communists.

[swarthyguy]

Surprising to see older guys in operational squads.

So far the MO has been younger men.

[Dr Snide]

don't forget the Jordanian royal family also has a history of marrying Westeren women which may not sit well with al queda folks either

[justshutupandtakeit]

Was the attack by "terrorists" against a vacant building in Damascus meant to cover Syrian involvement in Jordan? Or just so they can say "look we are being attacked too?"

I know I have posted this on other threads on the subject but it bears repeating that world news media have been treating this as a blockbuster and saying President Bush was right there were WMD'S! Not our press though, no way! Our local talk radio host read some of them on air today.
