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

Confiscated canisters labeled as hydrogen peroxide are displayed during this morning's press conference in Germany

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.

Terrorists outside the country phone in, and are caught by alert anti-terror agents. The Democrats want all of this kind of thing stopped, because it infringes on the rights of the Muslim terrorists.

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.

The guy on FOX this morning said Germany doesn't allow wire tapping. They must have other ways.

Interesting - - on the news this AM, the reports made mention that it is illegal to tap the phone of ANYONE in Germany.

It's a good thing then that many phone calls get routed through the good old USA - - this will really pizz off the ACLU - - although, in fairness, it might have been the Brits that eavesdropped.

However, it points out the need to listen to these maniacs.

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.

Mr Chamberlain declared war on Nazi Germany in 1939 that was 2 years ahead of the USA so what exactly was your point?
