Ryanair hijacker trained as pilot in US (MORE ON UK HIJACK PLOT)

These SAPO agents are unable to look outside the box, their own perceptions, and the underlying philosophy of these strains of Islam. Of all locations to attack, with a kill vehicle that could destroy any of the large skyscrapers in North Western Europe, why would the intended target (US London Embassy) be a location that would at best only kill a thousand innocent citizens? The return ratio would be significantly less then optimum and maximum returns.

Intelligence forces across the pond know exactly (more or less :) what's going on.

I was looking through my notes for something else and came across this old thread. It seems particularly timely right now...

Saddam s arsenal revealed

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/647862/posts - from last March: Excerpts:

A DEFECTOR from Iraq has given American intelligence details of a secret underground network of laboratories where Saddam Hussein is believed to be building weapons of mass destruction.
The defector is a 43-year-old civil engineer named Adnan Sayeed who worked on 20 sites. He has provided evidence suggesting they are part of a network of bunkers where chemical and biological weapons have been made and where attempts are under way to create a nuclear bomb.
A second defector has reported that Iraq has constructed seven mobile germ laboratories, which have been disguised as milk lorries.
Amid growing tension over plans by President George W Bush to force Saddam from power, the Foreign Office has alerted all its embassies after eight Iraqis were found spying on British diplomats in Sweden in preparation for suspected terrorist attacks.
The eight, including two diplomats, were expelled or banned from the country after carrying out reconnaissance on British and American missions in Sweden.
The expulsions in January were the first sign that Saddam may have activated a European network of spies to retaliate if he is attacked .....
Concern about retaliatory strikes in Europe in the event of war intensified when two Iraqis were expelled from Sweden. Muhsen al-Haidai, a chargé d'affaires, and Abdul Kadir Hussein were given 12 days to leave the country after Swedish police were provided with evidence of their spying.

While I'm not implying that these Salfi critters on the Ryanair flight are Iraqi agents, I don't believe they are trying to commemorate an attack in the US by striking US targets in Europe. Hussein is using them to send you a message, MadIvan. He wants you to stay out of the war...
