CURSES, FOILED AGAIN:
Assassination plot foiled (NICK PARKER, 5/03/04, The Sun)
AN al-Qaeda plot to blow up Tony Blair, George Bush and up to FIFTY other world leaders has been foiled.Cops in Turkey yesterday unveiled a huge arsenal of weapons and explosives found stashed in preparation for a terror doomsday.
They are convinced the target was next month’s Nato summit in Istanbul.
And they believe the aim was to wipe out the West’s commanders of the War on Terror in an outrage that would dwarf the impact of September 11.
Simultaneous raids led to 25 members of the fanatical Islamist group Ansar al-Islam being arrested.
It's the nature of the game that no number of threats thwarted means much compared to the few successful ones. Posted by Orrin Judd at May 3, 2004 11:04 PM
Which is why the mullahs and Baby Assad, among others, need to be eliminated yesterday. Because who knows what they have hatched up for today.
