This is what really happened:

Jordan airs confessions of alleged chemical bomb attack planners

I guess Skynews missed the wires when it really happened!

More from Australian press:

"We managed to buy large quantities ... We collected around 20 tonnes of chemicals, enough to carry out all the operations in Jordan," Jayussi said, adding that he then went ahead with building the bombs.

Chemical weapons in the hands of Al Qaeda?

Not from Iraq, that's for sure.

Impossible.

Hans Blix said so.

These sophisticated weapons did NOT come from a state that was known to produce chemical weapons that was also known to fund terrorists and hate America.

No.

These weapons came from marauding Bedouins who live in caves and eat camel dung.

Don't blame Iraq! I REPEAT, DON'T BLAME IRAQ!

...

WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR IN 2000? DID YOU VOTE FOR BUSH? ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN? ANSWER THE QUESTION! ANSWER THE QUESTION!

If I remember correctly they had not caught all of them and they were looking for more chemicals and preps (other terrorist set-ups at different locations). This is probably the second group that was set up for another terrorist attack that was suppose to go off at about the same time as the first. Chances are there are more out there that were set-up to go along with the 2 that have been already caught.

The CNN article is here:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/04/26/jordan.terror/index.html

"The aim, Azmi told me, was to execute an operation to strike Jordan and the Hashemite Royal family, a war against the crusaders and infidels," Sharif said. "Azmi told me that this will be the first chemical attack that al Qaeda will execute."

Jordanian authorities said the attack would have mixed a combination of 71 lethal chemicals, which they said has never been done before, including blistering agents to cause third-degree burns, nerve gas and choking agents.

A Jordanian government scientist said the plot had been carefully worked out, with just the right amount of explosives to spread the deadly cloud without diminishing the effects of the chemicals. The blast would not burn up the poisonous chemicals but instead produce a toxic cloud, the scientist said, possibly spreading for a mile, maybe more.

The Jordanian intelligence buildings are within a mile of a large medical center, a shopping mall and a residential area.

"And there is no one combination of antidote to treat nerve agent, choking agent and blistering agent," the scientist said.

Hmmm... ABC decides to go after Kerry.

And CNN suddenly "breaks" this week old news that same afternoon.

Ted Turner must have gotten a "call"...
