Source? Dude, clear the eyes and look at the bottom of the picture. Sheesh
Yes, they are.
Holding up OK. {{{{onyx}}}}
I guess I've had a crash course on mayhem and chaos the past couple of years. Maybe it'll come in handy. LOL
Seriously, this is kind of surreal. Iraq was knocked out of the headlines a month ago. Israel and Lebanon are knocked out of the headlines now (although they appear to be striving very hard to take them back...Israel just nailed the center of Beirut). I hope and pray nothing else comes along to trump any of this.

It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled on to as many as 10 aircraft in hand luggage.

Good night No Pardons.
Sleep well.
Bttt
If the intelligence is correct - and up to ten planes were targeted by terrorists (all destined for America) - it might wake a few Britons up the danger of the terrorist threat. Britons have already largely forgotten the 7/7 attacks and those attempted just two weeks afterwards.I fear, however, that Britain is increasingly 'Spanish' in its reaction to these incidents. Within hours there'll be pundits blaming the invasion of Iraq and Blair's support for Israel for making Britain vulnerable to these attacks.
And I wouldn't bet against you. LOL
Other than the end of the world on August 22...
Take care sweet you. I am going to my couch.
That's what the scotland yard guy said. The only way it makes sense is if they had the imams tapped and they wanted to trace the calls to the terrorists to try to get locations on as many as possible.
I would assume it could be done.
In Norway there is about 115 000 muslims, some 2 percent of the population.
Thank you backhoe for those links.
Also, here's a ping for you:

(Adds India's reaction, background)
By Kamran Haider
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "ISLAMABAD, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Pakistani authorities have put the founder and former head of the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group under house arrest in the eastern city of Lahore, a spokesman for the Islamic charity he now runs said on Thursday.
Hafiz Mohammad Saeed resigned almost five years ago from Lashkar-e-Taiba, the group suspected of involvement in the Indian rail blasts of July 11 that killed over 180 people, to become head of a charity called Jamaat-ud-Dawa, regarded as its sister organisation.
The United States has designated both as terrorist organisations.
"They informed us last night that Hafiz could not leave his residence and this restriction is for one month," Yahya Mujahid, Jamaat-ud-Dawa's spokesman told Reuters.
He said the charity had been banned from all public activities.
After joining a U.S.-led global war on terrorism following the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, Pakistan put the leaders of several militant organisations under house arrest. Saeed has been put under house arrest several times before, but he has been operating freely for the past few years.
Pakistan's reluctance to act more strongly against these groups probably stems from the military Inter-Services Intelligence agency's history of support for their activities, according to analysts.
Mujahid said police had been stationed at Saeed's residence and police had also cancelled permission for Jamaat-ud-Dawa to hold a rally in Lahore on August 12."

This argument carried no weight with the Leftist Romantic who admired the Soviet Union for its rebellious and revolutionary image. The Soviet Union was a threat, as Truman, Eisenhower, Reagan and all rational Americans knew.
