Al Qaeda activists tried to poison Jews in Morocco
2002-10-15
“International Jihad” organizations, under the leadership of Osama bin Laden, have attempted, in the past year, to launch eleven attacks against Israeli and Jewish targets around the globe, according to an Israeli daily. These groups have stepped up their efforts to strike at Israeli targets outside Israel, and Tel-Aviv has warned, “the next terrorist attack is just a matter of time”, according to Ma'ariv.
It's that "religion of peace" thing. You can't have peace if there are Jews in the world, so the best thing is to kill them all, because they're all Nazis... Damn. Now my head aches...
From information obtained by Ma’ariv, it appears that in the past year there were 11 attempts, of which one succeeded, to hit at Israeli and Jewish targets outside Israel, and behind them all are organizations with strong links to Bin Laden's network, and at times, Al Qaeda members themselves.
The wannabes aren't a formal part of al-Qaeda because their leaders haven't made formal submission to Binny. They're still trying to earn the jewels for their turbans...
In May 2002, for example, Morocco arrested a cell comprised of Saudi nationals from al Qaeda, which planned on blowing up synagogues and poisoning prominent figures in Casablanca’s Jewish community.
Wonder what that involved? Putting arsenic in the blood of their own children? Y'gotta be careful with that Big Lie stuff — once you repeat it enough times, you might start to believe it yourself...
In the Israeli defense establishment, there are assessments that the "International Jihad" groups will increase, in the upcoming year, their efforts to attack Israeli and Jewish interests throughout the world, as part of efforts exerted to strike at key Western targets. According to Maariv, it is believed that these attempts are to increase close to the anticipated US strike against Iraq. It should be noted that in the list of potential targets are countries that have not yet been hit at, including Thailand and Morocco.
Now, why would the "International Jihad" groups care a rat's patou about a secular dictatorship? Could it be that there's a cuddly relationship between Sammy and the King of Jihad? The feeling's becoming stronger...
Furthermore, it is expected that Al Qaeda may try to strike in Israel, either by use of units coming from the occupied territories or activists that will infiltrate the country, disguised as tourists.
They've probably been circling that target for years, looking for just the right way in, and an operation that's distinguishable from the atrocities the Paleos are committing on a routine basis. The danger to the Qaeda thugs is that they'll actually pull something off and either nobody'll notice, or al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades will get the credit.
Another one thanks to Steve...
