Germany Defuses Bomb Sent to Merkel
Wall St Journal ^ | Nov 3, 2010 | DAVID CRAWFORD and MARCUS WALKER

BERLIN—German police are investigating a bomb from Greece that was delivered Tuesday to the office of Chancellor Angela Merkel, hours after additional package bombs exploded outside foreign embassies in Athens. Also Tuesday, a cargo plane from Athens carrying a suspicious parcel addressed to Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi made an emergency landing in Italy.

German police defused the small bomb, and nobody was injured in any of the incidents Tuesday. Ms. Merkel wasn't in Berlin at the time.

. Greek police intercept and destroy three mail bombs including one addressed to French President Sarkozy. Video courtesy of Reuters. .German authorities say they see no connection between the harmful packages originating in Greece and air-freight bombs originating in Yemen and seized in Dubai and the United Kingdom en route to the U.S. last week. Investigators in Europe and the U.S. believe the bombs from Yemen were built by a group linked to al Qaeda.

Wow. Looks like the ‘religion’ of peace (or is it pieces) has been busy... the US, England, France, Italy , Germany.

the mail bombs from Greece seem to be from left-wing scumbags — allies of the jihadists but not Islamoscum themselves

The warnings about increased terrorism in Europe a few weeks ago were right.

Are they saying who’s sending the mail bombs? Is this the same deal as the bombs out of Yemen?

Europe will be in flames within the next 4 years, mark my words.

And it will all be the socialists and the ROPs doing.

I also believe as a student of European history that the next “civil war” in Europe is inevitable.

It's just a matter of time now, the Brits will get caught with their trousers down and the rest of Europe save Germany and possibly the Balkins will have to take up the slack. There is a danger here, and no one in their right mind wants to see a war, but it's coming. Leadership is needed now, but it won't come until the stuff hits the fan.

I hope we are both wrong.

"I think this one was sent by the religion of socialism."

Perhaps Islamic socialism did not die in the mid-80's like most scholars today tend to claim.

I suppose Islamic socialism’s declaration of faith went: “I believe that there is no Allah, and Karl Marx is his prophet!”

“I suppose Islamic socialism’s declaration of faith went: “I believe that there is no Allah, and Karl Marx is his prophet!””

That’s pretty funny. And I find it quite peculiar, how the Muslims claim Jesus was a prophet of God and not God made flesh, on one hand and on the other hand call Jesus a liar and deceiver for his claims to be God. Regarding the Islamic socialism and Islamic Marxism...it is no more peculiar than many Jewish and Christian affiliations with atheistic socialisms. Not that that makes them any more right...LOL.

Yes...there is enormous overlap between marxism and islam in both their methods of spreading their 'theology' and ruling once established.

Thanks for the link. Interesting article.

Both islam and marxism seem to be quite clever in initially cloaking themselves in 'good intentions', infiltrating and subsequently taking over movements.

Both ideologies are violent, anti-sementism, anti-christian, and prone to mass murder.
