The United States bombed a Syrian terror group that was in the final stages of a plot to blow up American airliners with toothpaste tube bombs last night, the Pentagon has claimed.
Alongside its strikes on the ISIS heartland, officials said US warplanes hit a previously unknown group of Al-Qaeda militants known as the Khorosan Group.
The group of seasoned terrorists planned to 'imminently' attack a US airliner or other target using a bomb without any metal parts, toothpaste tubes and clothes dipped in explosives, an unnamed US official told CNN.
President Barack Obama ordered the strikes after intelligence reports discovered the plot this week, officials claimed.

Lieutenant General William Mayville, the Pentagon's director of operations, said Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from US warships in the region were used to hit the group's compounds, workshops and training grounds around the city of Aleppo.
'Intelligence reports indicated that the Khorasan Group was in the final stages of plans to execute attacks against Western targets and potentially the US homeland,' he said.

Age does things to a body that are unspeakable. Body has gone into the unspeakable range.

“Boston Bomber Posted Video on ‘The Black Flags From Khorasan’”
“Tamerlan Tsarnaev – American life of dead Boston bombing suspect”
“A YouTube account that appears to have been run by Tsarnaev includes a playlist devoted to “terrorism”, including one video in English titled The Emergence of Prophecy: The Black Flags from Khorasan. He also maintained a playlist devoted to Islam and one devoted to Timur Mutsuraev, a Chechen singer who sang of the republic’s battle for freedom from Russia.”
This is truly going to hurt the airlines bottom line if we can carry no clothes. Just won’t be a need to check any bags. Terminals will be clothes free. Flights will be clothes free. There better be a clothing mall within 300 feet of the terminal. Course then we’ll all be arrested. Thank you for flyin’ clothes free.
Can anyone believe anything that comes out of Clown Prince nonbama’s lawless, chronic-liar-filled administration? I guess the answer is “only if you are insane”.
Agreed, but enough of them did to elect this POS...twice.
Not buying it. I don’t trust anything coming from this Administration.
Am worried about you. Where did you take that picture? Had to be on the plane.
Thread should be: Imminent Threat of Demo losing Senate thwarted by Doggie Wagging. Khorasan, my left cojon.
There used to be an airline called Naked Air (now defunct). That was one of the publicity photos at the time.
okay ... I believe you ... but will everyone else?
They have been doing that for years.
Lost a $4.95 tube of Arm and Hammer with baking soda and peroxide.
I was pissed but they looked ready to rumble over it so I continued on my way.
OF COURSE IF IT WAS IN CHECKED BAGGAGE......??????
Here’s an idea.
REMOVE every moslem from the United States.
CLOSE all mosques in the United States.
PROHIBIT all moslems from flying on US Airlines
Retaliate against any attack by moslems against the United States by a factor of 100,000 fold.
Make it CLEAR to moslems that GENOCIDE is an option the USA isn’t ruling out.
And steal all of their oil money,redirect the IRS towards that mission .
That ain’t right!
