Al-Qaida Plans 'Hiroshima'
the Sunday Times in London ^ | 4/23/2007 | Dipesh Gadher

AL-QAIDA leaders in Iraq are planning the first 'large-scale' terrorist attacks on Britain and other western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report.

Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on “a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki” in an attempt to “shake the Roman throne”, a reference to the West.

Another plot could be timed to coincide with Tony Blair stepping down as prime minister, an event described by Al-Qaida planners as a “change in the head of the company”.

The report, produced earlier this month and seen by The Sunday Times, appears to provide evidence that Al-Qaida is active in Iran and has ambitions far beyond the improvised attacks it has been waging against British and American soldiers in Iraq.

There is no evidence of a formal relationship between Al-Qaida, a Sunni group, and the Shi’ite regime of President Mah-moud Ahmadinejad, but experts suggest that Iran’s leaders may be turning a blind eye to the terrorist organisation’s activities.

The intelligence report also makes it clear that senior Al-Qaida figures in the region have been in recent contact with operatives in Britain

Al-Qaida has to hit the west because the arab killing of black Christian’s throughout Africa is not getting any attention.

Reid and Pelosi probably think that if we just pulled out of Iraq and negotiated with Iran and Syria, then Al Qaeda and the rest of the world’s Islamoterrorist orgs would simply stop fighting.

And at that point, every Muslim swinging dick will have to pack up his koran & family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from.

America’s ancestors didn’t risk life & limb to come to this country just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women & children and make hamburger out of our families.

Sooner or later, we are going to have to give the Muslims the jihad they so desperately want.

” There is no evidence of a formal relationship between Al-Qaida, a Sunni group, and the Shi’ite regime of President Mah-moud Ahmadinejad, “

And there never will be any evidence.

That's because it's an INformal relationship.

You reminded me something... The other day I was driving and I saw a small group of... uh..well, protesters with posters saying - believe it or not - “President Bush, stop genocide in Darfur!”.

In other words, when muslims are on killing spree in Africa, not only those so-called liberals can not blame them by name, they blame genocide on Bush!

Sounds to me as if someone is scared of Tony Blair.

Who is the greater enemy, the terrorists or their liberal facilitators within our own nation?

Yes, the question identifies both as enemies. Deal with the closer enemy first.

What would we do? I suspect nothing.

The more interesting question is: What would we do the second time one of our cities was incinerated?

The terrorists are hoping that the Brits will become cheese eating surrender monkeys, like the French and the Spainish, before being attacked. So, they are just giving them plenty of warning.

Unless there’s a signed document, they will deny it.
