| Dutch foil attack on El Al plane |
| 2005-11-05 |
| Dutch television announced on Friday that Netherlands police arrested a youth who allegedly intended to shoot down an El Al airplane at Schipool Airport outside of Amsterdam. Samir Azuz, 19, a Dutch citizen of Moroccan descent, was arrested with six other co-conspirators, Israel Radio reported. According to the Netherlands intelligence service, the suspects enlisted the cooperation of two employees at an office near Schipool in order to perform reconnaissance. They also acquired weapons. Reports revealed that Azuz, apparently expecting to die while bringing down the airplane, had prepared a videotape saying goodbye to his parents. Approximately six months ago Azuz was acquitted on charges of attempting to vandalize a nuclear power plant in the Netherlands. learned his lesson and repented like a good moooslim, eh, Naif? |

| #19 US State doesn't willingly make too many visible visits to such a fine site as Rantburg - They might get dirty. People here are a bit more earthy. Think again Besoeker. (^8 |

| #17 No problems Frank, my bad. Could be an eating disorder, or simple post menopausal depression that set'er off. I'll try and write more clearly and concisely now that her US State diplodink bonefides have been formerly presented. How was I to know? |

| #15 Besoeker, I'm not a 'bright lad'. I'm a woman who's probably old enough to be your mother, who has direct experience with both business and military issues internationally and who reads English rather well along with several other languages. Of course, it needs to be well written to convey meaning. |

| #11 lotp: Read the last sentence in the second para... and think a bit harder. You're a bright lad, I'm sure you'll get it. |

| #10 HUH? That made absolutely no sense, Bosoeker, to me at least. |

| #9 How thoughtful, now the little bastards can say goodbye from PRISON! I'm afraid we've not seen the end of this airline crap. I hope who ever is in charge of this collection TSA affirmaive action misfits is watching closely. Absolutely gags me to think my tax dollars are paying for these slime balls. |

| #7 raptor, perhaps this is one use for the Russian SAMs brought into western Europe from Bosnia as reported last week. |

| #6 The question is, what will his punishment be? Given the Dutch legal system, it might be a stern warning. |

| #5 Doesn't say how they were going to shoot down the plane. |

| #2 We've seen this punk at Rantburg before. He's quite the pack rat. He's doesn't like to have his picture taken. And 'til now he's gotten away with it. Make it stick this time, Holland. |
