I wonder if the "American Committee for Peace in Chechnya" can be called a treasonous AND subversive group as well?

Did you see this article implicating the Russian Federal Security Service in the Bombings of the Russian apartment buildings?

And we wonder how al-Qaida got through and did 9/11 on us when warnings about what al-Qaida is capable of were ignored because the victims sounding the warnings were Russians and Serbs and Indians?

The fools in our nation will be the death of us all.

I believe the only apartment Al Qaeda has attacked up to now, was the Khobar Towers. Think they would choose a similar target and method?

Are you shooting the messenger here? Spar is just telling us about it.

I had the idea awhile back that apartment buildings would be VERY vulnerable to planted bombs. EEECK!!

Vigilance is our only weapon, I guess...and dogs that can smell explosives and FBI intelligence.

The Russians don't count in your eyes? The bombing threat indicated by the FBI follows the exact Modus Operendi of the Chechen wing of al-Qaida.

Apartments and 9.5 tons of missing cyanide salt

Fancy Apartments (or Condos) might have central water softner. Softner uses salt to regen. Arab maintaince man. Not unusual to bring salt in. Wrong salt in the wrong tank, and lots of dead rich people. Kill lots of kids by putting it in the pool. No bomb needed. 1 once per apartment should do it. Memorial Day seems logical.

Hey, you may be onto something.

But, hey...we cannot profile you know who.....what a shame in my book....foolish as well.

The authorities shouldn't use a rubber hose on them....but they could at least ask questions and check out stories.

Unfortunately, some folks who enjoyed klintoon's aggression on the people of Serbia, have forgotten that the Serbs fought bin laden's mujahadeen for 5 years.

The mujahadeen still exists in Bosnia and Kosovo. They lay in wait....dug in like bugs in the dirt.

Their cells are still in the USA as well, if this report about the apartments is to be believable.

You mean the modus operandi of the KGB. Though, I don't doubt that Al Qaeda would be quite willing to copy a successful tactic of the Russian nomenklatura. The greater freedom of US society would help them. The fact that Al Qaeda doesn't control an appropriate US agency will hinder them.

Likewise, it seems as though one of their cells that was busted just after 9/11 in Italy (I think) had been rehearsing with cyanide and the fresh air intakes of large buildings. In that case, they were transporting the cyanide in tomato cans, and then once on site they would mix it with acid in front of the air intake (hydrogen cyanide).

How many Arab maintenance guys are in the States? With access to the HVAC systems of VERY LARGE FACILITIES? (New York subway? Shopping malls? Contractors to the Pentagon? How about a baseball stadium? Political rallies? hmmmm..... Some of these places have already been listed in warnings.) Just think about anywhere that there is a large concentration of Americans connected to the same air supply or water supply.
