JORDAN FOILS HUGE CHEMICAL ATTACK

Jordan has foiled a chemical attack, linked to al Qaeda, involving trucks loaded with 20 tons of explosives that could have killed 80,000 people, according to the country's security officials.

Members of the terrorist network were arrested and others killed, officials said on state television.

Pictures were broadcast, claiming to show the chemicals the terrorists were planning to make explosives with, as well as trucks which were going to be used in a suicide attack against the General Intelligence Department.

You have to keep in mind that FR is a week ahead of the news.

I think it's the same story, which last week received almost no play in the general (read: liberal) press. Now Sky News is banner headlining it with a new Jordanian estimate of the potential casualties four times greater than last week's. Also mentioned are photos of the "chemical" weapons themselves.

Last week's reports mentioned VX, which is, I believe, about as nasty as those things come. IMHO, this new push on the report is probably related to British politics in that Blair is being hit very hard with the (spurious) "where are the WMD's" argument. He may have some friends at Sky News who are willing to unshackle a story which, if proven true, should scare the daylights out of everybody, but especially the Brits and other Europeans.
