PAKISTAN, Islamabad : Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud, who was believed killed in January, vowed attacks on the United States in a new video apparently made last month, the SITE monitoring group said on Monday. Mehsud threatened to retaliate against the United States within a month for the killing of Islamist militant leaders, according to a transcript of the video.

We don’t know what’s yet to occur. That’s the entire point of “terror” isn’t it?
We don't like them here because they lie about everything, and they hate us conservatives.
Hopefully you're now aware of that fact.
Yep.
“Yes, they did.”

The quality of intelligence in the 0bama Regime....
If I’m not mistaken, I believe the type of bomb that the Denver muslim and his crew were going to try and detonate in NYC was going to be made of fertilizer and peroxide as well. Sometimes the “primitive” bombs are due to the easily accessible materials rather than lack of ability. Think of all the IEDs in Iraq. Most of these were also fairly crude, but effective.
There were too many amateurish aspects to this attempt to believe but for obvious reasons I will not list them. He could have just as easily filled up the tank, stuck a rag in it and lit it for “better” effect. No, this is not classified. :-(
Yeah, the islamic world is noted for its advanced qualities.
“Since the fertilizer wasn’t even the explosive type, I’d say pretty ignorant as well as amateurish.”
Fertilizer??? I read about propane, gasoline, fireworks, clocks with batteries and wires, but no fertilizer. Got a link?

This guy was an utter moron. God make all our enemies be as stupid and weaselly!
Incidentally, that plot had a Connecticut connection, too.
JUNE 30, 2007 : (UK : TERRORIST ATTACK ON GLASGOW INTL AIRPORT-----See GLASGOW DOCTOR'S PLOT, 200700EUROPE, CAR BOMB / GLASGOW AIRPORT PLOT, AUSTRALIA) The failed car bombs discovered in London on 29 Jun [see TIGER TIGER NIGHTCLUB PLOT] and the attack on Glasgow International Airport the next day demonstrate evolving terrorist use of improvised explosive devices. The rear seating area of the vehicle in the London Haymarket contained a mix of 52 gallons of gasoline, 18-20 boxes of roofing nails and two propane tanks. This device was covered by blankets. The device was connected to a mobile phone; apparently a triggering device. Authorities subsequently located a similar car bomb at an underground garage in Hyde Park. The vehicle in Glasgow was traveling at a speed of approximately 30 mph when it was driven into a pedestrian door in the terminal. It was loaded with gasoline and gas cylinders. Eye witnesses reported one of the vehicle’s occupants poured gasoline under the car after the crash. Terrorism experts speculate these individuals were attempting to use these devices to create a Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE). A BLEVE occurs when the high temperature of the fire heats a container of compressed liquid beyond its boiling point, increasing the internal pressure until the container fails and ruptures. Unlike multi-phased operations that lure first responders to a blast scene only to explode a secondary device that injures/kills responders, a BLEVE is incorporated in one device.-------- "BLEVE Tactics May Endanger First Responders," From a Department of Homeland Security intelligence brief.282 posted on 08/04/2007 7:07:53 AM PDT by Godzilla | To 281 |

AUGUST 2, 2007 : (UK : SLOW PURSUIT OF VAN ENDS UP HOT IN LIVERPOOL -- EXPLODING VAN KILLS DRIVER, INJJURED 5 POLICE OFFICERS---- See 200700europe) Five police officers were injured and a motorist died last night after a van exploded that they had been following. The driver, who has not been named by Merseyside Police, was stopped shortly before 10pm close to Liverpool city centre, after a “slow pursuit”. Officers said that after the van stopped it exploded and caught fire. The driver was taken to hospital suffering from serious injuries but died later. All the officers were also taken to hospital. Two were released after treatment but three have been kept in with serious but not life-threatening injuries, according to a police spokesman. A number of residents were evacuated after the explosion but have since been allowed to return home. A Merseyside Police spokesman said: “Officers are currently trying to establish the cause of the explosion but it’s too early to rule anything out. “However, it has been confirmed there were no explosive devices in the van.” The investigation into what caused the explosion is being carried out with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service. The matter has been referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission. -----------Five police hurt as suspicious van explodes August 2, 2007 http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/crime/article2185535.ece

We're in for more attacks like this. We're not safe. Not at all.....
I remembered the airport, but didn’t recall the slow pursuit.
Thank you.
