No doubt in my mind that you're right.
No doubt in my mind that you're right.
Considering that even things like the Bali, London, and Madrid bombings usually have their planning started significantly in advance of the actual attack, it's practically a tautology that there are multiple global plots in the works - the only interesting questions are how many and how large.
There will continue to be such plots until such time as all of the terrorists have either been locked up (and the keys thrown away) or until they've all met their 72 virgins.
Excellent!
LOL! So true.

Very frightening story Cindy. I guess it's just the tip of the ICEberg!!
It's pathetic that this country cannot get a grip on illegals and that they are working in HIGH security sites!!. They need to be stopped before they get into these places. How many are not caught? Thanks to all the ICE agents out there who are doing a good job!

The Al-Qaida Guide to Kidnapping
By Yassin Musharbash
Kidnapping is okay -- so long as it serves political or financial goals for a terrorist organization. It's also fine if it draws attention to a political issue like, say, Chechnya. You should also stay distant from hostages -- literally -- lest you get to close to them, both physically and mentally. These are just a few of the parting tips offered by a top al-Qaida strategists before he was killed in 2004.(snip)
