US, German Intel: Al Qaeda Plots Multiple Attacks on US/ Israel-Bound Airliners
Debkafiles ^ | July 9, 2009, 9:17 AM (GMT+02:00)

Western anti-terror agencies have warned that a large group of 15-20 al Qaeda terrorists, trained in Pakistan and Algeria to hijack and blow up airliners, deployed secretly in at least six European and Middle East countries in early July. They are standing ready to carry out multiple terrorist attacks.

The terrorists are believed to have landed in Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Turkey and Egypt.

The dates to watch, local authorities were warned, were July 4, July 7, the fourth anniversary of the 7/7 attacks on the British transport system in which 52 people died, and July 8-9, when the G8 summit meets in the Italian town of L'Aqila. US president Barack Obama will fly in from talks with Russian leaders in Moscow.

Al Qaeda planners, say the Western sources, know it is extremely hard to break through the massive security cordons protecting summit leaders. They are therefore planning to hijack passenger planes of airlines belonging to the targeted states and blow them up in mid-air.

DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources report the first specific red alert on Saturday, July 4, referred to the possible hijack of Turkish Airways planes taking off from Turkish airports for US destinations or Tel Aviv. Special precautionary measures were put in place at both ends of their routes.

The alert is still in force.

Well, don’t bother BHO with this intel. He’s too busy negotiating way our missile defense systems with the Russians.

If, as some suspect, that AF 447 was a test of a new explosive that terrorists can pass through security easily, we may see the Bojinka Project finally carried out in the near future.

Didn’t the terrorists get the email? They can take a break while Hussein destroys America.

Profiling is out of course. Just because these are all middle eastern men in the age range of 18 to 35(the most probable age group for muslim terrorists) doesn't mean we should be stopping people who meet that profile and searching them.

Also, why should we try an keep Muslims out of our country, they are just misunderstood people and as soon as we understand them they will stop killing us off/SAR

I wish you guys who post photos would put captions on them so we know who they are. While I easily recognize the Ex-Sexual Abuser in Chief, I don’t have a clue who the other guy is. This happens all the time on FR, pictures posted, no names, as if the rest of us have all these idiots cataloged in our memories!

You know...we hear all the time about these “groups”, ready to strike...

But never any arrests to speak of very often...And since they know this much, there has to obviously be more to it than just this little tidbit of teaser information...

Yet, and don’t get me wrong, but we never hear of any tangible attempts to do so, except for the shoe bomber idiot that should have been tossed out the door from 10,000 ft...

And I wish them all the failures I can imagine on their missions as well...

I do not believe they will ever be unapposed ever again on any airliner in the world now...

And if all they find of me is my boney fingers wrapped around what is left of one of their necks...I will have done it with a smile on my face!

Screw ‘em...

Maybe SFOD-D and DEVGRU operators were at work in these cases....

Clicking the picture does not normally produce a name, sometimes not always. It is extremely easy for the poster to simply type in the names when posting the picture, unless of course they have strained fingers or something and can't type!

Of course I am serious, so are a lot of other FReepers I have talked to about this.

Seriously? You couldn’t figure this one out even thought the post it was in references to talked about Panetta but not Clinton? Did you even try to google image Panetta? Do you not realize how ironic it is that you don’t recognize an picture of the head of the CIA on the internet? Do you know how many years it’s been since 1984? Are you still on dialup and have the images turned off? Do you talk with these other luddite freepers by phone or by speaking into your monitor, ‘cause I won’t believe you skype ‘em if you couldn’t figure out the last brain teaser. Do you guys also complain about series, hugh, guilty/not-guilty and the bunny?

Welcome to the 21st century. : )
