I haven't read back to catch up on the thread yet. Is this info just coming out? I would say this is a significant development. I hope the feds are following this angle.
I completely forgot about that incident. Good work back tracking this story.
Group Vows Attacks on Churches After Qatar Bombing
Tuesday, March 22, 2005
DOHA (Reuters) - An unknown group has claimed responsibility for a Qatar suicide bombing that killed a Briton, and vowed to hit churches and "crusader" military bases in the region, an Internet statement posted on Tuesday said.
"We claim responsibility for the historic Qatar operation, carried out by a lion of the Army of the Levant," the statement posted on a Web site used by Islamists said.
Addressing what it called "the supporters of the devil," the group warned "America, Britain and Italy and all those who have defiled the lands of Islam be ready for the grand surprise."
"The Qatar operation is the beginning," it added.
The authenticity of the statement could not be confirmed.
Sources in Doha have said the bomber, named as Omar Ahmad Abdullah Ali, was employed at the IT department in state-run Qatar Petroleum which runs Qatar's rich oil and gas sectors.

What's also strange is that almost all those who died worked for contract firms, with eleven of the fifteen who died working for Jacobs Engineering, or its JE Merit Constructors Subsidiary, and three of those who died worked for Fluor Corporation.
The Fluor Corporation has at least a financial connection to the bin Laden family.
Maybe this particular incident wasn't as much about the death toll as it was about taking out an oil refinery. At this point, I think they'll settle for a hit on our economy.
UCD death blamed on cyanide
The death of a UC Davis student in January, whose body was found on the lawn near the campus law school, has been determined to have been from cyanide.
As a result, the cause of death for Naum Jeffrey Phleger, 26, a biophysics graduate student from San Francisco, has been declared a suicide by the Yolo County Coroner's Office.

>> I think they'll settle for a hit on our economy <<
I think a major hit on the economy is a huge part of their plan ffnj. Ask yourself, what do they want more: dead infidels or infidels out of the ME. If they can smash our economic power they could get us out of the ME.
I know they want both, but what would they like to go after first? Of course it's kind of a mute point. These vermin are opportunistic and will take out any target that presents itself.
Exactly. In the article they are boasting that in spite of the tight security, they were able to pull it off. Of course , the authorities are already saying it's not terror related. How do they come to this conclusion after less than a 48 hour investigation? As Cindy pointed out, there was an alert several months ago about middle eastern men taking pictures of refineries.
