Was 'TWA FLIGHT 800' [1996, where 230 Americans were killed] an ISLAMIC TERROR attack?

Posted on 11/04/2007 10:52:57 AM PST by PRePublic

TWA FLIGHT 800 was DOWNED in 1996 by a MISSILE, not the fuel tank! HOW MANY JOBS WERE LOST DUE TO CLINTON COVERUP?? 2002 - The GOVERNMENT COVER-UP is STILL GOING ON!

TWA Flight 800 shot down on July 16, 1996. On July 15 a communiqu‚ was issued by Islamic jihad connected to Iraq. It read: "The mujahideen [holy warriors] will deliver the ultimate response to the threats of the foolish American president. Everyone will be amazed at the size of that response. Their time is at the morning-dawn," which corresponded to dusk in New York when TWA Flight 800 was downed. On July 18, they released another communiqu‚ through terrorist channels in Beirut that read: "We carried out our promise with the plane attack of yesterday."

The Clintoons are coverup experts.

The fact that Billy won't release Hillarious' papers is another example of their axiom that being "Lied to and True" is their modicum!

Ain't it interestin' that Fred Thomspon is crucified for an advisor with a felony conviction but nobody asks Hillarious why she seeks advise from a Sexual Predator, Adulteror, Convicted Felon, and an all around jerk-off!

The first question that comes to my mind is if the 9th Century knuckledraggers succeeded in shooting down a civilian aircraft in US airspace why haven’t they done it again?

Thanks Freepers for your great opinion.

Dig this... interesting that radical liberals will keep fantasy “conspiracy theories” on a real Islamic attack [911] but are silent on this... since it doesn't suite their agenda

I don’t but it’s very possible that it wouldn’t matter, since the theory is a missile attack.

I think I might have my plane tragedy’s confused. I was thinking of one in particular that an egyptian pilot was heard on the voice recorder (found) saying “Allah Akbar” or something of the sorts. I know I heard this somewhere. Im going to have to start researching I guess, its bugging me.

For terrorism to be effective, the perpetrators and their “grievances” must be identified.

It is possible that this was done purely for internal consumption, to gratify a small clique. That would make it more like the work of Saddam who was still nursing a grudge over the 1991 war.

If al-Queda did it, won’t they have crowed about it endlessly?

Alqaida is usually silent about their attacks. Maybe somebody admits something eventually, but they aren’t Palestinian terrorists who instantly claim every truck backfire.

That’s why I think it was more likely Saddam’s henchmen. He can pay them a big bonus and take personal gratification.

If they repeated it, even Sandy Berger couldn’t uv swept it under the rug. They don’t make rugs that big.

I believe that was a cargo plane. Although the pilots on 911 where also praying as they flew in to buildings.

I believe it was...don’t forget that happened just a few days before the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.

If I recall correctly, that was a Middle Eastern airline with an Egyptian pilot who decided to put it into the Atlantic shortly after departure from NYC.

I think while there was definitely something covered up, if this was done by Muslim terrorists we would have heard a lot more about it. The whole point of terrorism is public perception and response. If they pulled off something like this, they couldn’t help but brag about it.

Yeah, that was a separate incident, I remember the MSM playing the “he was depressed” violin.

Absolutely, no doubt about it. I never had a thought about it otherwise.
