Terror Names Linked To Doomed Flight AF 447
Sky News ^ | 10 June 2009 | Peter Allen

Posted on 06/10/2009 10:40:33 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

Two passengers with names linked to Islamic terrorism were on the Air France flight which crashed with the loss of 228 lives, it has emerged. Debris from Air France flight AF 447 has been recovered from the Atlantic French secret servicemen established the connection while working through the list of those who boarded the doomed Airbus in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on May 31. Flight AF 447 crashed in the mid-Atlantic en route to Paris during a violent storm. While it is certain there were computer malfunctions, terrorism has not been ruled out. Soon after news of the fatal crash broke, agents working for the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), the French equivalent of MI6, were dispatched to Brazil. It was there that they established that two names on the passenger list are also on highly-classified documents listing the names of radical Muslims considered a threat to the French Republic. A source working for the French security services told Paris weekly L'Express that the link was "highly significant". Agents are now trying to establish dates of birth for the two dead passengers, and family connections. There is a possibility the name similarities are simply a "macabre coincidence", the source added, but the revelation is still being "taken very seriously". France has received numerous threats from Islamic terrorist groups in recent months, especially since French troops were sent to fight in Afghanistan. Security chiefs have been particularly worried about airborne suicide attacks similar to the ones on the US on September 11, 2001.

Wouldn't a terror group have claimed responsibility?

What's the point of committing an attack if you keep it a secret?

and some of us who do not understand aviation in the least. It was my first and my second, and my third gut feeling. Reserved option for new information, but my gut told me exactly what you mentioned.

Maybe the airplane was not the intended target and something went wrong. (Assuming it was a man made terrorist device that triggered the crash)

Happens to me too. No worries. Following this story and the shooting at the Holocaust Museum.

I have acquaintences that never met a conspiracy theory they didn’t like and were eagerly awaiting the next one.

Kind of depends on what the names are: If one’s “Joe Smith” and the other’s “Bill Brown” (or the Arab equivalents), there’s not a lot of significance we can attach to the name match at this point.

Maybe a test run using a new device.

First, a terror group may have and somebody is sitting on the information.

Second, the success of this single event may be the key to repeating it on a grand scale.

That’s right. I asked to see the passenger list two days ago, but my thought was that the NWO downed the plane because there was somebody on it they were through with.

Yup. Several other planes were flying through there at the same time.

Let’s distinguish conspiracy theories from conspiracies.

Great security the French have. Two known Islamic terrorists check onto a plane and can use their real names...

I fly ELAL. It works.
