Nine hurt in Indon embassy blast
2004-10-08
AN explosion has been reported at the Indonesian embassy in Paris with up to nine people injured. French officials said the explosion was deliberate.
"Legume! Round up the usual suspects!"
Europe-1 radio quoted firefighters as saying the explosion took place on the embassy's ground floor and that nine people were injured, five of them from the embassy. Police set up barriers to block access to the area, which was lined with fire trucks and police cars.Several people were seen being accompanied by rescue workers from the area where the explosion occurred. The embassy is located in the exclusive 16th district of Paris. Interior Minister Dominique de Villepin was expected at the scene shortly wearing men's clothing. Windows were blown out in the immediate area, and rescue workers warned nearby residents to stay indoors, according to the radio report.

#7  Are we witnessing terror attack previews for Islam's month of Ramadan, which begins next week, on a Friday evening, October 15th, 2004 and continues until November 12th, 2004? I would say, yes unfortunately!

It's very interesting Election Day November 2nd falls into this period of traditional inter-Islamic (Sunni-Shi'ite) blood letting since both branched consider the other infidels over the issue Ali. Read below for an eye opening overview of the in-depth historical acts of one sect attempting to exterminate the other, and these people are supposed to be all Muslims!

"At the age of ten, Ali Ibn Abi Talib was the second person to belief in the teachings of Mohammed, after Khadija. A close associate and advisor of Mohammed all his life, Ali was renowned as a pious man, an honest judge, a warrior, and a leader. Shortly after the hijra (the Moslem exodus to Medina), he married Mohammed's daughter Fatima, thus making him Mohammed's son-in-law as well as his cousin. After Mohammed's death, Ali became the focus of the first major split among Moslems. On the one hand, he became the Fourth Rightly Guided Caliph in 656, for which Sunni Moslems still revere him. On the other hand, Ali thought that the caliphate should have gone to him because he was Mohammed's closest male relative. Those who agreed with him became known as the Shia (i.e., the "party"). After his {{{{murder}}}} in 660, his followers split from the other Moslems and became known in English as the Shi'ites. Shiite belief elevates Ali to the position of a "Friend of Allah"--next to Mohammed--and the center of the differences between the Shi'ites and the Sunnis. In Shi'ite belief, Ali is the first Imam." --------->(my thoughts) and Khomeini was next last Imam according to those Iranians fanatics which cheered when the Shah was overthrown, replaced by a brutal, menacing looking figure, the Muslim madman, Ayatollah Khomeini, the grand sicko that called US the 'Great Satan'. Radical Iranian Shi'ites bought this spoon feed baloney about Khomeini being the final Iman, hook, line and Muslim sinker!

What's next? They believe 'The Expected One' or 'The Mahdi' ...will come very soon, but there is a monkey wrench in the works, we are it, the 'filthy unrepentant infidels' you know the billions of normal people in the world which refuse to 'submit' (to) Islam. Enter the global terrorist solution to , in their sick eyes they will force the issue upon us, one way or the other, i.e. the global war radical Islamists have already declared and are in the process of executing as this is typed! The total cleansing of ALL INFIDELS and then, and ONLY then, this Mr. Mahdi character is then able, and returns to earth in Islamic glory, meaning we are dead as doornails in their view...bla, bla & more Ali ba bla .

A horror movie script ...we wish! Solution...picture this way, It's December 6th, 1941, you the commander of Pacific Fleet just received word the Jap naval code was broken and you instruct all available U.S. bomber and fighter aircraft to meet the enemy BEFORE he can attack Pearl Harbour! That wishful thinking scenario in today's unstable world as far as the immediate threat is the Islamic 'republic' of the Shi'ite Muslim death wishers, Iran, the new nuclear Iran. Across the Persian Gulf from Iran is world's most massive oil field, the Gahwar, in north-eastern Saudi Arabia. If Iran is not total altered from the top down and soon, that oil lifeline for major economic portions of the world will become the mullahs chosen target to nuke, and will result in the worst financial panic since October..wow the same month, of 1929!

#5  Dislexic jihadis. Imagine this semi-edumacated Algerian dude that knows Arabic script, but not much the Latin alphabet. "Rzeczpospolita Polska" or "Republik Indonesia" is the same gibberish to him. His handler told him "boom the Polish embassy".

So, he is a genius, he looks up the flags somewhere and remembers... "oh that is the place I know, viola!"


Something like that.

#2  "A slap in the face for the Franco-appeasement strategy." - if that is the case, why blow up the Indonesian embassy in Paris instead of the French embassy in Jakarta?
