(16:45) BBC: Palestinian group says responsible for WTC attack
By Miriam Shaviv
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine has claimed responsibility for the attacks on the World Trade Center, according to the BBC and Abu Dhabi television. However, DFLP sources have denied any involvement.

It is unclear who is responsible for today's apparent terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York, but it is unlikely that Palestinian groups are involved, said an expert on international terrorism.
"They have a lot to lose because America would react very harshly against the Palestinians, however it is not impossible that a radical group was involved," said Eli Carmon, of the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center's counter-terrorism department.
Two jets, one of them apparently an American Airlines 767 hijacked from Boston, crashed into the Twin Towers shortly before 9 am. EST.
Carmon noted that the World Trade Center has been targeted once before in 1993, when a bombing killed six people and injured more than 1,000. Carmon said that there have been threats by unidentified Islamic groups to target the World Trade Center again if Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, the militant Egyptian cleric, who is serving a life sentence in the US after his conviction in a plot to bomb the United Nations and New York landmarks, was not released.
He added that it is possible that terrorist mastermind Osama Bin-Laden is also involved.
Carmon said that the alleged terrorist attack amounts to a "declaration of war" on the US, and that the US will have to "react in an extremely harsh manner."
Israel, he noted, had already envisioned the possibility of an air attack, and shot down a small plane that took off from Lebanon in May after it flew menacingly into Israeli airspace.

Thank you Bill Clinton for dealing with terrorists in Israel. The blood of 50,000 people is on your hands.
To: LincolnLover
Well, now we will see what Bush is made of. I say, find out who did this and make WAR on them until they are no more!

I was disappointed in President Bush's "moment of silence" at the elementary school. It is time for our Christian president to say a PRAYER - in SCHOOL! The enemy must have his prior victories ripped away from him - for this is WAR, a religious war.
It is the Islamic jihad gone worldwide.
Clinton failed to act after the horrific TERRORIST downing of EgyptAir 990 out of Kennedy airport - and the trend was begun THEN. Instead, the top traitor accepted personal gifts from Arafat and welcomed him into our country.

I have a modest proposal: drag "Sheikh Abdul Rahman" from his cell, stand him up against a wall, shoot him, and announce "Next?"

The Clintonian touchy-feely, can't we all get along politics has just cost thousand of civilians their lives.
I vote we go back to "we don't negotiate with terrorists."
I am so glad President Bush used the phrase "We will hunt them down." By the time all is said & done, I hope the sheeple will have no doubt the "leadership" of the last 8 years is responsible. I pray to God the New World Order died today.

Casper Weinberger used the term "extermination" in a NYC radio interview. The radio hosts, for the music radio station WPLJ, seemed to approve.
