| Bin Laden Poisoned Cocaine Plot - Vetoed By Drug Lords | |
| 2005-07-26 | |
| EFL Usama bin Laden tried to buy a massive amount of cocaine, spike it with poison and sell it in the United States, hoping to kill thousands of Americans one year after the Sept. 11 attacks. The evil plot failed when the Colombian drug lords bin Laden approached decided it would be bad for their business — and, possibly, for their own health, according to law-enforcement sources familiar with the Drug Enforcement Administration's probe of the aborted transaction.
Sources said the feds were told that bin Laden personally met with leaders of a Colombian drug cartel to in 2002 to negotiate the purchase of tons of cocaine, saying that he was willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to finance the deal. Bin Laden hoped that large numbers of Americans dying from poisoned coke would lead to widespread terror. Although the drug lords would have reaped millions of dollars in profits by selling the cocaine to bin Laden, they knew that if his plan succeeded it might effectively destroy the market for their coke in America for years, sources said. But that was only one reason they declined bin Laden's offer. The other was their fear of retaliation from the U.S. government once its citizens started to die from the drugs, according to sources. Despite bin Laden's plan being thwarted, the DEA believes that al Qaeda continues to this day to traffic in drugs to fund a variety of its operations — including training, traveling and terror attacks. | |

| #11 I think the C.I.A. should go ahead with the plan. Purge Hollywood and damage the drug trade. |

UBL met with Colombian drug lords personally in 2002? Where??? On the Caribbean beach with a beer, watching the WoT on TV? |

| #6 The plan was defective because it wouldn't hurt the West. On the contrary we'd be much better off if self-destructive parasites were allowed to take their actions to the logical conclusion, whether cocaine addicts or leftist moonbats. |

| #5 I don't believe this story because I don't think Bin Laden would bring the Columbians into the real plans at all. He'd buy a ton of blow with the intent to make money off it to buy weapons, then spike the blow and have his own folks distribute it to the streets. The problems with the plan are numerous. First it's self inflicted, folks could just shift to X or some other drug. The administration might not care when they see who is dropping off and it might cost Binnie some of his tacit support from the left. Not much of a plan. |

| #4 Damn! If the Colombian "drug lords" had accepted at least a portion of Binny's proposed spiked coke deal, we would have by now witnessed the demise of 90% of Hollywood stars. The Dems would be outta money and we would have been spared the Left Coast nitwits' ramblings. |

| #3 And to prove it, I have bin Laden's passport with a Columbian entry stamp. |

| #2 Article: The other was their fear of retaliation from the U.S. government once its citizens started to die from the drugs, according to sources. They may remember what Uncle Sam did to Pablo Escobar. |

| #1 Wouldn't bother me a bit if they did this. But I can understand the drug lords' position. It's strictly bidness. |
