Terror Plot thwarted in Spain
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/st...28,00.html
Quote:A GROUP of alleged Islamist extremists were planning a wave of suicide attacks across Europe before they were detained in Barcelona last weekend.
The group intended to carry out three attacks in Spain and one each in Portugal, France and Germany, an unnamed man who infiltrated the group told top-selling daily El Pais.
The report comes one day after Spanish judicial sources said that three of the six members of the group, who allegedly planned to blow themselves up, were still at large.
The preferred targets were public transportation networks, especially metro systems because of the difficulty which emergency services would have in reaching the injured there, according to the newspaper.
The attacks would be claimed in the name of al-Qaeda by Islamist warlord Baitullah Mehsud from Pakistan's tribal region of South Waziristan.
Spain, Portugal, France, and Germany. Of these nations, none have troops in Iraq or Afghanistan or the "Arabian Pennisula". Yet they are targets of Jihad anyway. Spain of course use to be part of the coalition, had a Jihad attack in 2004 similar to this plot to influence their elections and the Spanish foolishly chose to submit, appease and capitulate. And this is how they are rewarded........not shocking.
Quote:"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, ... nor follow
the religion of truth... until they pay the tax in acknowledg-ment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."
Qur'an, Sura 9:29

but, but, but......they pulled out of the War on Terror. I thought the Muslim fanatics only wanted to kill those that were fighting them. /sarcasm.

They're lunatics, who the heck knows what they're going to do. At any rate, if you can believe what they said in "America at a Crossroads", muslims aren't really integrating well into European society. And their frustration from that can easily lead to attacks by these indoctrinated pawns. It only takes a few.

Until recently, the Germans treated foreign Muslims with German residency with “kid gloves” even though the Hamburg Cell planned 9/11.
For a while it was “if you don’t blow up anything here, we won’t mess with you.” But that ended after Madrid.
Seems like that latest English terror cell that did the propane bombs had definite operational contacts with Jihadi cells in Germany.. Now they have the Germans breathing down their necks on a regular basis, leading to cells being uncovered that targeted US airbases there.
