Al Qaeda Claims Responsibility for Blackout

[Andy_Stephenson]

The English version of Arab newspaper Dar Al Hayat says a communique has been received from Al Qaeda (the Abu Fahes Al Masri Brigade) claiming responsibility for last week's power outage in the U.S.

The communiqué attributed to Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the power blackout that happened in the U.S. last Thursday, 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."

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."

1. Bull

Either that story is a plant or Al-Qaeda needs to lay off the opium. Massive power outtages alone doesn't seem like something they'd do.

5. It is.

But if it is substantial it would or will be in the mass media. You know GWB and his cronies will jump at a chance to place the blame on Al-Qaeda.

Lets just hope people don't start keeling over en masse in a week or so.

3. terrorists groups like to take credit even when they are not involved.

I doubt Al Qada was involved in the black out. If the Bush administration was going to shift the blame to a power company, it would not be one of their major contributors.

4. I thought the Iraqi Information Minister retired

"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."

Clowns.

Al-Qaeda is taking credit for the heat wave in France as well.
