Details on the possible biological attack foiled in Paris
Further to my post on the arrests of members of the Bourrada cell linked to the Algerian GSPC, the Saudi Al Watan has interesting details about the terrorist attack in the works.
Indeed, French police discovered at the home of one of the cell members a vial containing seeds of a plant called “nigelle” ( no english translation), which is a deadly poison when in contact with the skin. This plant has also the characteristic of being used in the fabrication of explosives.
Also, the DST –roughly the French equivalent to the FBI- indicated that the members of this cell were trained in explosives nearby Tripoli, Lebanon.
They added that this training was organized on Zarqawi’s orders. This would only confirm the agreement between the GSPC and Al Qaeda’s strongman in Iraq.
