Say, any one out there in FReeperland know if al-Jazeera(Arab eqivalent of N.Y.Slimes)(Motto: "All the Fiction Fit to Broadcast") is telling the Arabs about the al-Quaeda plot to kill thousands of muslims in Jordan on the off-chance they might get a few westerners??

"I agreed to this operation because I thought it would serve Islam," a bearded Sharif said.
I hear you, dude. I thought using a super-soaker to spray hydrochloric acid on school girls would serve Islam. Boy was I wrong. I should have tortured them with red-hot pokers first.

I pledged allegiance to Zarqawi and after the fall of Afghanistan I met him again in Iraq Don't hold your breath waiting for the mainstream press to cover this.

Still no one wants to report who was supplying the chemicals, or from where the terrorists were to get them. The version I heard last week, when this story was breaking everywhere in the world except the U.S. (FNC partially excepted), is that the chemicals were to come
directly from Syria, but Syria may have been only an intermediary (albeit an active and willing one).
A birdie tells me that the bad stuff came originally from Iraq, and the plot was being implemented through Al Queada operatives based in Iraq, beginning with Al-Zarqawi, Al Queada's man in Iraq apparently at least since the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
If I wasn't such a cynic, I would further guess that this part of the story is being suppressed in the United States because it makes Bush look great and his political opponents (including especially the "mainstream" media) look, well, not so great.

Does anyone know what kind of chemicals they were going to use in their chemical attacks? I mean were they "WMD" chemicals or were they just brewing some meth?
To: TexKat
These reports about how Jordon stopped a "deadly chemical attack" by terrorists have been coming in for well over two weeks now and with each telling of the story, the size and deadliness of the bomb keeps getting inflated higher and higher.
Now this particular version of the story comes along, and just like all the others, it remains silent on the single most crucial fact of the entire story. And that is, what was the WMD chemical agent that the terrorists had in their possession and were planning on using with such devastating effect?
When terrorists are caught planning to set off a bomb, that is a "dog bites man" story. But when terrorists are supposedly caught with great amounts of what, by all press accounts, could only have been one of the deadly nerve toxins (sarin, tabun, soman, VX, etc.) and the only source of supply for those toxins would be from a government (like the former Iraqi regime), then you have an earth-shaking, stop the presses, 144 point type headlines, "man bites dog" story.
Yet, pregnant by its absence, these reports continue with still no one confirming what deadly WMD agent was found in the possession of these terrorists.
Mind you, I have no doubt that Iraq was in possession of WMD as of March, 2003. Nevertheless, these recent series of unconfirmed reports out of Jordon about "deadly chemical" weapons, have the distinct odor of bovine excrement about them.
I'm glad you posted this story, but until the authorities choose to disclose what chemical warfare agent was involved, I would recommend to all a very much greater degree of skepticism.
