Printer bombs planted on two cargo flights last month cost only a few thousand dollars and were intended to affect the American economy, according to a newly published Al Qaeda-affiliated magazine.
The attempt was called "Operation Hemorrhage," boasted the magazine, and the entire plot cost al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, only $4,200.
Yesterday, a special edition of Inspire magazine -- an English-language propaganda publication produced by AQAP -- gave a detailed description of how the attempted attack was conceived and produced.
"Two Nokia mobiles, $150 each, two HP printers, $300 each, plus shipping, transportation and other miscellaneous expenses add up to a total bill of $4,200," one article said. "That is all that Operation Hemorrhage cost us. In terms of time, it took us three months to plan and execute the operation from beginning to end."
The magazine also revealed the attack was not meant to kill more than the plane's pilot and co-pilot, and was meant to force the U.S. government to spend billions of dollars on preventive security screening measures....

Al Queda has a problem. $100 billion to a country worth 40 to 50 trillion is not much.
Al Queda has a problem. $100 billion to a country worth 40 to 50 trillion is not much.
Someone needs to threaten them with 5.56 and Wright Brand Bacon.
Right on cue. “TSA...TSA.”
How long before Al Queda takes credit for Enhanced Pat-Down?
“Yesterday, a special edition of Inspire magazine — an English-language propaganda publication produced by AQAP..”
So Al-ABC recognizes a “propaganda publication.” Does it?
Go squat in your cave and shiver, raghead!
Keeping our Freedom is expensive.
Scaring people to the point of giving up that Freedom is cheap.
Very Cheap when you get the MSM on board pumping their ratings for their dollars.
Al Qaeda and the left: a marriage made in heaven. The terrorists don’t have to actually do much at all, our government is busy quashing our rights and liberty as fast as they can write new laws and regulations. Al Qaeda is merely providing a convenient excuse.
All they need is idiots voting safety and security. The folks like myself voting FREEDOM will kill them. Wake up idiot Democrats.
How hard can it be for them when we have a compliant crypto-Muslim leader.
That’s right. 0bama is unbeleivably evil.
It is happening, only it is a million gropes.
Sounds like an SNL skit:
Bin Laden on phone: "So Janet, what would you like us to do this week?"
They are all talk—they scored a few hits because we were caught off guard. What would happen if they went against a really hard case nation? Imagine how a Hitler or Stalin would react to terrorism? There might not be any Islam left when they were done. I believe that will happen in Europe in the future. The word Islam and Jihad will be just another word for insane killers that must be shot down like mad dogs.
The ragheads are laughing now, but when the US has a POTUS not in bed with the Saudis, or a POTUS who isn’t actually a fellow muhammedan, we will be laughing last.
Does anybody honestly believe they woud be pulling this if Reagan was in the WH?
He's certinaly on track to help them shut down air travel for the average citizen, and bankrupt the airlines.
The MSNBC poll shows 77% support for a holiday air travel boycott. Al-Qaida and the White House might consider that a win. They'll inflict more damage on the economy, and help destroy an American holiday tradition.
I can't help but get the feeling we're being tested and conditioned - pushed just to the breaking point and held there until we get desensitized to the abuse and are ready for the next level,
One of the “Cuts” is the TSA. Osama must be celebrating this organization
