I heard it a little while ago on the radio. Funny how this story seems to have disappeared from tv.

DEVELOPING....... as Drudge likes to say. Maybe it's complete baloney but everyone knows Al-Q likes to take 2-3-4 similar actions the same day for the shock value.

I'll try to dig up an article how the anti-war/west cabal is trying to convert young Russians. Well if the poster boy group AQ keeps blowing up Russian concerts, theaters, hospitals and now (it seems) airliners, then it's gonna be a tough sell. Especially the conscripts out to fight Islamists in the Caucasus regions. Stay tuned...

The Ruskies have been and still are helping the Iranians in their quest for nuclear arms and they send Al Quadi to Moscow to say thanks. It's time for Putin boy to get right with God

The Russians can get pretty brutal. Political correctness does not exist there, I don't think.

So, if I lived in Mecca or Medina, I'd be making tracks, like,

The news that AQ caused these crashes certainly wouldn't surprise me but, having listened to "Coast to Coast", I'd certainly take my news from them with a grain of salt.

Doesn't matter. That's what the anti-war countries fail to realize. And yet they keep on staying in the sidelines.

Uhh, It seems a bit strange to think they would waste 10
fighters just to down 2 planes with not so many people on board, and no big target to crash into.

Web Site Posts Claim for Russian Jet Crashes

Friday, August 27, 2004

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,130302,00.html

CAIRO, Egypt — A claim of responsibility for the downing of two Russian planes appeared on a Web site known for militant Muslim comment Friday.

The statement, which accused Russians of killing Muslims in Chechnya, was signed "the Islambouli Brigades." A group with a similar name has claimed at least one previous attack, but the legitimacy of the group and the authenticity of such statements could not be verified.

Russian officials have said terrorism was the most likely cause of Tuesday's plane crashes, which killed 89 people.

"We in the Islambouli Brigades announce that our holy warriors managed to hijack two Russian planes and were crowned with success though they faced problems at the beginning," the statement said without elaborating on the problems.

Friday's statement said five mujahedeen (Islamic fighters) were on board each plane and their wills will be published soon.

The statement did not explain how the hijackers boarded the planes, how they downed them or give any other details.

"Russia's slaughtering of Muslims is continuing and will only stop when a bloody war is launched," the statement said. "Our mujahedeen, with God's grace, succeeded in directing the first blow, which will be followed by a series of other operations in a wave of to extend support and victory to our Muslim brothers in Chechnya and other Muslim areas which suffer from Russian faithlessness."
