AL QAEDA PLAN TO MURDER NURSERY SCHOOL CHILDREN UNCOVERED
WMCA-NY ^ | 7.4.2004

Posted on 07/04/2004 7:19:50 PM PDT by KMC1

MADRID - Over the weekend Spanish authorities revealed that the same Al Qaeda cell that had planned and carried out the Madrid bombings on March 11 had its sights set on a Children's Nursery and Primary School.

As police closed in on the cell members the squad committed a collective suicide. This, police say, is the only thing that may have prevented a massive attack at the school.

Due to the school's popularity, even Real Madrid soccer players have children who attend, it seemed to be an ideal target for the men who occupied a flat and used it for terrorist planning, said police. When the school is busy the streets outside are sometimes lined with literally hundreds of parents, teachers, school administrators, and neighbors who live in welathy homes bordering the school.

The school was British run but was bi-lingual in its teaching. European soccer star David Beckham had looked into the area before purchasing a home last year. The British Parliament is opening full investigations into the security and potential attack threats.

That's impossible. Spain had made a separate peace with AQ after 311, and the group would never betray a nation that had caved in to it.

"police say, is the only thing that may have prevented a massive attack at the school."

In my case? At a school with one of my children?

It would be the Gramma Squad. An Army of ONE!

I'm tending to agree with you. And I pray we're BOTH wrong.

Nothing says "Spirituality" like a holy book in one hand and a grenade in the other.

Would make a cool poster. I'd love to shove that grenade up his arse and pull the pin.

Now that's what I call a happy ending. Thank the Lord this evil plot never came to fruition.

lol! That`s what I was just going to say. How can this be? Appeasement works, just ask Bill Clinton and his 8 years. Wonder if this plot to kill school kids might be enough to get thrugh the cement thick skulls of liberals, but I sort of doubt it. I think it would actually have to happen first, then they would agree to do something about Al-Qaida, but after about a week they would change their minds and go back to bashing Bush.

I wish I could be so brilliant!!

No, I got this from Iconoclast. Look under the "Photo Funnies".
