Al-Qaeda's bombers in fuel trucks to target London and New York
http://english.pravda.ru/world/20/91/368/15997_Alqaeda.html

Terrorists are going to use various vehicles designed for carrying flammable fluids

Al-Qaeda is going to launch a series of attacks against London, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles within the next few weeks. This time suicide bombers are going to drive fuel trucks into the gasoline stations, according to a special memorandum released by the Department of Homeland Security. Meanwhile, National Security Service, a security agency, has been recently created within the FBI to specialize on intelligence and other national security matters. Former head of FBI counterterrorist unit Gary M. Bald was nominated director of the National Security Service last weekend.

British transport ministry unveiled a memorandum forwarded last week by U.S. Homeland Security to all British government agencies. U.S. counterintelligence warns that terrorists linked to Al-Qaeda are planning to launch a series of large-scale terrorist attacks against the British and American cities. The U.S. warning is based on evidence before trial by Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, one of Al-Qaeda's leaders, who has been held in U.S. custody. The memorandum says terrorists are going to use various vehicles designed for carrying flammable fluids. Suicide bombers are expected to drive their fuel trucks into "crowded places for causing maximum damage."

Various terrorist groups repeatedly used the fuel trucks for blowing up people and buildings in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Syria, and Egypt. Last month a suicide bomber drove his fuel truck into the market place in El Musaib, Iraq. More than a hundred people were killed in the blast.

According to U.S. Homeland Security, the video statement by Aiman Al Zavakhiri, 'a deputy' to Bin Laden, broadcast on August 4th, may be a code signal for starting a new bombing campaign. Bin Laden's lieutenant promised "to bring devastation to the center of London" unless the British troops pull out of Iraq. Apart from London, terrorists also promised to target major cities in the U.S. i.e. New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

Not only would they kill people, but they could also cause oil to go up to $100 a barrel.

7. We guard politicians while propane tankers toodle around
like big ass mobile bombs unguarded. A Daisy-Cutter bomb is nothing but a big propane tank designed to crack on command when dropped from a plane. The biggest explosions short of Nukes.

10. Um no, not even close.
Daisy cutter is ammonium nitrate and fuel oil. A high explosive which does not require confinement.

Propane and LNG are not high explosives and require a near perfect mix with air/oxygen and confinement to explode, Otherwise it burns.

11. Fear the Real Terrorists: The Neo-con Bush Administration . . .
By the way, our very resposible and caring government (BCF/BFEE) was warned plenty by Russia that 9-11-01 was to happen.

Since the deepest, darkest inner chambers of the CIA and FBI are run covertly by the Neo-con Bush Crime Family and since these covert "inner sanctum" operations within the CIA and FBI support Al-Qaeda and other useful and convenient terrorists, as does the British MI5 and MI6, then any terrorist act against the US and UK are simply terror tools to be used against "We the People" whenever the proverbial shit is about to hit the fan for the BCF. And the doo-doo is hitting the fan for this corrupt administration!

9-11-01 MIHOP
7-7-05 Most likely MIHOP

So expect endless terror world-wide (especially here at home)to be used at their convenience as long as they control our country.

We will never capture Osama Bin Laden, because he is still a tool and agent for the CIA and BCF. He is still a covert CIA operative, and this relationship has never been terminated since the Afghan/USSR war days, although of course our honest government will say otherwise.

The new made-up enemy is "terror" to be used as a convenient tool by the Neo-cons to wage war, rob resources, profiteer, and subjugate the citizens.

The real terrorists are the criminals who have taken our country hostage: PNAC, BCF, Neo-con Republicans, and those who allow themselves to be used by these criminals.
