and now it's WMDs from Syria. Amazing how neither story is being pushed.

Terrorists linked to al-Qa'eda were poised to detonate a chemical bomb in the heart of Jordan's capital, Amman, that would have killed 20,000 people and contaminated a large area, it emerged yesterday.



King Abdullah praised Jordan's intelligence service for foiling a "crime never before seen in the kingdom". The target was the headquarters of the General Intelligence Department, on a hill in the city.

An official close to the investigation said three vehicles had been found, each filled with explosives, detonators and "primary materials" for making a chemical bomb. Had this device exploded, the official said, an area exceeding half a square mile would have been contaminated.

The terrorists also planned gas attacks on the American embassy in Amman and the office of Faisal al-Fayez, the Jordanian prime minister.

An undisclosed number of suspects have been arrested. Suleiman Darweesh and Muwafaq Adwan, two Palestinian militants linked with al-Qa'eda, are understood to be among them.

Jordan says the vehicles were smuggled over the border from neighbouring Syria. Syria has denied this.

from the Telegraph

WMD's everywhere & nobody to report on it. I hope Bob Woodward has his writing pencil handy.
 
Can I pose a question? What, exactly, is a 'link' to al-Qa'eda? I keep hearing that this guy, and that group, and those countries have 'links' to al-Qa'eda, but noone ever says what that link is. Are they taking order from them? Or did they once happen to attend a wedding together?
 
They're terrorists, Prof. That's more than enough link for a lot of the media.

Hell, I agree with Prof here. I'm sure the lot of you ahve heard of the 7 degrees of seperation, that is, that everyone on earth is somehow attached to every other person on the face of the earth through 7 degrees (steps).

How many degrees of seperation are they counting when they claim a link?

Hell... hmmm...my wife's from the Basque Regions of Spain, the Basques are known for their terrorist group ETA, ETA has been known to buy explosives from Syria, which had training camps for al Qu'aida in it,...thus...I am somehow linked with Al Qu'aida??!?

Somehow, I doubt it...but that's freedom of the press for ya :D

if you commit a terrorist act they will link you somehow.
 
I'd say so. I don't hate him with a passion as most of you do... but I'd be terrorized if I ever saw him without pants.
