Iraq: Plot to bomb US, European countries revealed

(AP) — Two senior Iraqi officials say the government has obtained confessions from captured insurgents who claim al-Qaida is planning suicide attacks in the United States and Europe during the Christmas season.

Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the botched bombing in central Stockholm last weekend was among the alleged plots the insurgents revealed.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, in an interview from New York, called the claims “a critical threat.”

Both al-Bolani and Zebari said Iraq has informed Interpol of the threat, and alerted authorities in the U.S. and European countries of the possible danger.

Neither official mentioned a specific countries in Europe that are allegedly being targeted.

    I don’t see anything unusual in this report. Anybody with a brain knows that Islamic terrorists have been trying to intimidate and kill Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, and even other Muslims for quite sometime. The idea that they may try suicide bombings on American soil is obvious. My concern is that these attacks will be as a result of lax border security.

    What else is new? This is what the Islamic Supremacists do for a living. They persecute Christians, burn down their churches and kill the infidels. They’ve been doing that for 1400 years now, and they have killed 270 million infidels.

    It’s about time we stop being their dhimmis and demand that they END their killing mania!

    At the ADL facebook page we bring you the information you need so that we can put a stop to their insanity in the 21st Century, once and for all. When we get the information we send emails to our representatives alerting them to the fact that they need to act to stop this dhimmitude of political correctness, through their constant Saudi-financed litigation, which is how they silence us.

    We, who value freedom in our Western Civilization, will speak out!

    This needs to be sent to Mr. O’Reilly as he is putting his head in the sand to the muslim problem over here as was shown on his show last night with guests Bridgette (sp) Gabriel and Dr. ?, sorry but I forgot his name. Point being, these people were trying to point out we DO have a muslim problem here in the United States, but O’Reilly quickly shut them down and the segment was over, end of story! Wow, would not have believed this, but this is not the first time O’Reilly will not let guests make statements on his show about how there is a real problem that is mounting day after day. People need to be educated here, we already see Europe’s problem with the muslims and people here already understand that what happens over there is our future here. O‘Reilly has the ’ears’ of Americans, but he refuses, why is that, to acknowledge the problem. Remember, SILENCE IS CONSENT O’Reilly!

    The Unholy Trinity of 1) mexican drug cartels, 2) Latino street gangs (esp.MS-13, M-18), & 3) Terrorists (most notably Hezbollah is the biggest threat this country faces today.At safehouses provided by Muslim businessmen in Mexico , ‘special interest aliens’ – persons of interest of Islamic Origin- receive Spanish language training. They are also being given state-of -the-art documents. In exchange they provide training in explosives ( ex.-recent car bombs in Juarez, cell phone trigger). When complete training they are taken across the border by gang members using the same routes the cartels use.Now you have gang members w/ pharsi tatoos, radicalized and settled into Latino communities as sleepers. Representative Sue Myrick (member of the House Intelligence Committee) has sent letters to DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano(one dated 6/23/10) requesting Napolitano ‘ form a Homeland Security task force to engage U.S. and Mexican law enforcement and border patrol oficials about Hezbollah’s presence, actvities and connections to gangs and drug cartels.’ Hezbollah is backed by Iran and is better funded, trained than AlQaeda They conducted bombings in South Africa and fought Israelis to a standstill.Yet the DHS response (Aug.24, 2010) by spokeswoman Amy Kudwa was ‘At this time, DHS does not have any credible information on terrorist groups operating aalong the Southwest Border’This in spite of intelligence from the National Gang Intel Center, and Operation Cazando Anquilas (Mar.2009) verifying the Generation 2 threats hat have been being established since 911.

      Or maybe not. Radicals aren’t born. They’re made. And they come from the ‘moderates’ in Islam. Today‘s Islamic ’moderate‘ might be tomorrow’s terrorist even if we lay back and try to be cool like we are already doing. And that posture has gained us nothing.

      Europe could have stopped Hitler in 1936, but it didn’t. And look what happened. Sure, we can debate on what might have happened after but, realistically, when you break a bully’s nose, he tends to steer clear.

      My view–fair or not, mean or not–is if you blow up my Christmas tree, I smash your fave mosque and kill every one of you dancing around it. That many fewer terrorists, far as I’m concerned.

      We have so much corruption, and stupid people..it’s awesome.

      I’m just sticking around because I have a feeling these Nazis are after my water in the Great Lakes, and they’re deliberately destroying the state, to make us flee from the largest inland fresh water source on earth.

      You will be disgusted by the Green Agenda being implemented here in Northeast Ohio.

      Try tracking microchips installed in every trash can to force you to recycle, and traffic cams everywhere and the cops don’t have the burden of proof on traffic citations.

      I’m watching the regional consolidation of the Nazi Police forces.

      State Highway patrol pulling people over on city streets.

      CMHA (Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority) Police pulling over people outside of the projects, in regular neighborhoods…

      RTA Police doing the same thing…(Regional Transit Authority-trains and buses (TSA COVER))

      CMHA is even putting up EU style closed circuit cameras that can see well outside the range of the government-owned projects.

      I’ve had these CMHA Nazis follow me home and pull me over in my driveway and approach me with a taser drawn, for no reason. After arguing about them being outside of their jurisdiction, they informed me that the Sheriff Dept had deputized them and that they’re essentially have the same power as regular police. They then proceeded to give me a ticket for loud music after conversing with a supervisor about what charges they could possibly trump up on me.

      I’m still wondering why if these Nazis have the power as regular city-paid police, then why aren’t they just with the local dept, where if something happens citizens can have a point of recourse…

      Of course, this is just so that they can expand their authority without input from the people, from whom their authority originates..
