| Al Qaeda Responsibile For Blackout In U.S.! | |
| 2003-08-19 | |
| A communiqué attributed to Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the power blackout that happened in the U.S. last Thursday, It was us! We did it! saying that the brigades of Abu Fahes Al Masri had hit two main power plants supplying the East of the U.S., as well as major industrial cities in the U.S. and Canada, "its ally in the war against Islam (New York and Toronto) and their neighbors." Choke, cough cough The communiqué assured that the operation "was carried out on the orders of Osama bin Laden to hit the pillars of the U.S. economy," as "a realization of bin Laden’s promise to offer the Iraqi people a present." Next year, a gift certificate will suffice. The statement, which Al-Hayat obtained from the website of the International Islamic Media Center, didn’t specify the way the alleged sabotage was carried out. We ain’t telling The communiqué read: "let the criminal Bush and his gang know that the punishment is the result of the action, the soldiers of God cut the power on these cities, they darkened the lives of the Americans as these criminals blackened the lives of the Muslim people in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine. The Americans lived a black day they will never forget. They lived a day of terror and fear
a state of chaos and confusion where looting and pillaging rampaged the cities, just like the capital of the caliphate Baghdad, and Afghanistan and Palestine were. Let the American people take a sip from the same glass."
Can’t get anything by these guys, they’re no fools. The communiqué continued: "one of the benefits of this strike is that the U.S. will not live in peace until our conditions are met, no you cannot have a green card such as releasing all the detainees including Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, and getting out of the land of the Muslims, including Jerusalem and Kashmir." Ok. Let’s deal. If the U.S. promises to remove all its troops from Kashmir and Jerusalem, what are you gonna give us? The authors of the communiqué said that the strikes aimed at "hitting the major pillar of the U.S. economy (the Stock Exchange)," considering that the operation was "a message to the UN, which is opposed to Islam, gag, splutter and is based in New York. It is a message to all the investors that the U.S. is no longer a safe country for their money, knowing that the U.S. economy greatly relies on the trust of the investor." They added: "seven major airports stopped working, which is a strike to airlines companies; nine nuclear reactors broke down, something that never happened before, and this is considered as a major economic hit for the nine reactors in the states of New York, New Jersey, Ohio and Michigan. Means of transportation broke down: trains, cars and trucks, which resulted in great losses. The Internet stopped, leading to a freeze in trade transactions. We tried to shut down Rantburg The international banks headquartered in New York closed, not to mention the great losses incurred by the insurance companies, and the massive deployment of the police and security forces." The communiqué ended with: "we tell the Muslims that this is not the awaited strike, but it is called the war of skirmishes (to drain the enemy), and that the American snakes are enormous and need to be consumed and weakened to be destroyed. We tell the people of Afghanistan and Kashmir that the gift of Sheikh Osama bin Laden is on its way to the White House; then the gift of Al Aqsa, and do we know what is the gift of Al Aqsa, where and when? The answer is what you are seeing!" We promise to strike at sections of the power grid again in the North East during the next winter ice storm. And we’re gonna trigger a medium sized earthquake in California or Japan some time in the next 20 years. Just watch us. | |

| #7 Al Qaeda never directly claims responsibility for terrorist acts. Now the rest of us know they had nothing to do with the Blackout of 2003, which was really caused by the Jooooos. I'm waiting for the publication of the next urban legend, which will describe how batteries and generators were distributed at northeastern synagogues on August 9th. |

| #5 I'm sure that'll come as a great relief to some 6-year-old kid in Manhattan who just happened to be playing with an electrical socket when the lights went out... |

| #4 This was a tricky martyr operation. The timing of 12 jihadi tongues in 12 sockets in 6 states was a masterpiece of planning. |

| #3 i wondered how long it would take queda to claim responsibility of course it is possible it WAS sabotage, but really if it were Queda, they would've claimed responsibility immediately but no well if this isn't pathetic nothing shows how weak and gormless Queda have become better than this peurile effort. Release the prisoners, or we'll blot out the sun! are they gonna pull that one next? |

| #2 9.9!!! *applauds wildly* Golly, I sure miss sheik OBL's raving diatribes. "a day of terror and fear… a state of chaos and confusion" ...as evidenced by ordinary citizens, who took turns directing traffic at major intersections... yup, had me all confused and quaking in my fruit-of-the-looms... |
