UK link to terrorists planning new 9/11 massacre 05.09.07
Islamic terrorists planning a massacre in Germany on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks phoned British contacts as they plotted, it has emerged.
They planned to strike at German airports and US bases exactly six years after hijacked planes ploughed into the World Trade Centre.
The three suspects, two German converts to Islam and a Turk who had undergone military training at Taliban camps in Pakistan, were caught with 750kg of hydrogen peroxide, a chemical easily transformed into explosives.
Several calls to British numbers are said to been made from mobile telephones linked to two of the men being questioned in Germany. One is said to have been a "known" number.
Prosecutors and police painted a picture of a ruthless cell of Al-Qaeda-linked fanatics, willing to die in suicide attacks with bombs more powerful than those used in the July 7 attacks in London in 2005.
Prosecutors said the attacks were planned at Frankfurt airport, Germany's biggest and busiest, and the Ramstein Airbase - the Pentagon's largest outside of the US. germany terror suspects blue barrels

Other US bases, civilian airports, a nightclub and pub were on the terrorists' target list.
Germany's chief prosecutor, Monika Harms, said the plan was to construct massive car bombs and cause "as much loss of life as possible".

Convert to Islam...the Religion of Peace...see the world....learn nifty bomb making skills. Train to kill Americans. Make that goal the sole destination for your life.
What a frigging fake, joke, hateful, biggoted, FUBAR so-called religion.
"Democrats: Heads in the Sand since 1946!"
Wonder if the Germans tapped any phones ? Bet they ran roughshod over these folks civil rights. The horror...
It looks like a large number of these animals will be arrested in this bust. Good for the Germans and the Brits.

Does anyone but me think that this is part of a MASSIVE world-wide Al-Qaeda attack plan for 9/11?
If I were to bet, I would say that there are also cells plotting in the US, France, Italy and Australia. Let’s hope there is a little “waterboarding” going on with the one’s who’ve been caught so far.

A few weeks ago, it as reported that many of the training camps, that we were watching in Pakistan, emptied out all of a sudden.
I thought then, that something was getting ready to happen.
Good work by the Brits and especially the Germans in foiling this plot!
Interesting. We live in interesting times. A little TOO interesting.
They seem to like anniversaries.
Like they needed an excuse - - Islamists just like to kill folks.
Yes. And this is the first time since 2001 that 9/11 falls on a Tuesday. Just a little too much symbolism for the average raghead to pass up.
Reading your post, made me think “maybe they were talking to people [b]in[/b] America.
Mr Chamberlain declared war on Nazi Germany in 1939 that was 2 years ahead of the USA so what exactly was your point?
