Explosives Bound for Chicago Synagogues

Explosive packages bound for Chicago synagogues

Terror alert: suspicious devices 'dry run' for terror campaign against US

A series of suspicious packages found in Britain and Dubai could have been part of a “dry run” by al-Qaeda for a mail bomb plot in the United States, authorities believe.

The packages were found on an American-registered cargo plane at East Midlands airport in England, en route from Yemen to Chicago, via Cologne in Germany, and on aircraft in Dubai which had also come from Yemen.

It was claimed the devices were destined for synagogues in Chicago.

Jewish organisations and synagogues in Britain said they were already on high alert.

Scotland Yard said the package found in Britain was removed for further testing. It was claimed it contained a toner cartridge for a printer, covered in white powder and with wires protruding from it.

It was found at East Midlands, one of Britain's biggest cargo hubs, during screening of cargo at the airport. It was claimed that security sources in the Middle East had tipped off the intelligence services about packages emanating from Yemen, now regarded as one of the hot-beds of al-Qaeda terrorist activities.

"We know that these packages originated in Yemen and we are looking into potential links to terrorism," said one U.S. official.

As a result of the terror alert, the US Department of Homeland Security increased aviation security measures.

Fedex, the world’s largest cargo airline, confirmed that the suspicious package seized at its Dubai facility originated in Yemen. It had stopped all shipments, originating from Yemen, a spokesman added.

Officials were also investigating reports of several packages on aircraft in the eastern United States cities of Philadelphia and Newark, New Jersey although nothing had yet been found. The FBI said it did not believe an attack was imminent, a spokesman said.

Barack Obama, the US President, was told late on Thursday night of a "potential terrorist threat" surrounding suspicious packages on the aircraft, the White House said.

"Intelligence and law enforcement agencies discovered potential suspicious packages on two planes in transit to the United States," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said.

"Authorities were able to identify and examine two suspicious packages, one in East Midlands and one in Dubai. Both of these packages originated from Yemen."

Mr Gibbs said that, as a precaution, extra security measures were taken regarding other cargo planes at Newark and Philadelphia international airports in the United States.

"The President was notified of a potential terrorist threat on Thursday night at 10:35, by John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counter-terrorism," he said.

Synagogues were targeted. Why have the Jews been a favored target for over a millenium of Islamic attacks, wars and cultural annihilations?

Canadian Jihad Explosives Group Found by RCMP

The RCMP and CSIS have uncovered three more Islamic terrorist plotters in Ottawa and London, Ontario. They discovered over 50 circuit boards used for detonating IEDs, along with videos, drawings, books, schematics and electronic equipment to create an IED.

Ottawa -On Thursday, August 26th, 2010, the “A” Division RCMP held a press conference with regards to the arrest of three Ontario residents by the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (AINSET) - two Ottawa residents, named Hiva Mohammad Alizadeh and Misbahuddin Ahmed and a London Ontario resident named Khurram Syed Sher, in relation to terrorist offences.

AINSET investigators have grounds to believe that Alizadeh, Ahmed and Sher are part of a domestic terrorist group operating in Canada, while Alizadeh is also a member of and remains in contact with a terrorist group with links to the conflict in Afghanistan. Alizadeh faces additional charges of possessing explosive substance with illicit intent. The three are also charged in conspiring with James Lara, Rizgar Alizadeh and Zakaria Mamosta and persons unknown in Canada, Iran, Afghanistan, Dubai and Pakistan, to commit an indictable offence. Part of the decision to make the arrests at this time was to prevent the suspects from providing financial support to terrorist counterparts for the purchase of weapons, which would in turn be used against coalition forces and Canadian troops.

One of the terrorists, Khummar Sher, 28, from London, Ontario, once appeared on Canadian Idol and was working as a pathologist at St. Thomas, Elgin General Hospital.

So how are we, the kuffar, supposed to determine who is a moderate Muslim and who has the potential to be a terrorist at any moment and anywhere?

Interests: hockey, music, acting and killing Infidels -- Canadian Idol contestant arrested for jihad plot Jihadwatch

Clearly the judges were "Islamophobic"

Maybe losing Canadian Idol drove him to seek revenge upon the kuffar. "Third terror suspect was 'Canadian Idol' contestant," by Michelle Shephard and Richard J. Brennan for the Toronto Star, August 26 :

OTTAWA--A third terrorism suspect- one who moonwalked across a Montreal stage during an audition for Canadian Idol - was detained early Thursday, the Star has learned.

Khuram Sher was arrested as part of an RCMP national security investigation, as police continue to investigate a possible cell allegedly plotting to attack targets at home.

Sher told judges on the popular reality show in 2008 that he hailed from Pakistan and was a fan of "hockey, music and acting."

He sings an off-tune rendition of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" with - as the show's website describes - some "nifty" dance moves.

"Have you ever thought of being a comedian?" asks one of the judges of the 26-year-old.

Another remarks: "The dance moves were good, the singing, bad."

One source close to the investigation said Sher was actually a Canadian-born physician and graduate of McGill University - quite a different persona from goofy contestant wearing a traditional Pakistani shalwar kameez and pakul hat as he performs robot dance moves and a Michael Jackson moonwalk....

A physician. No doubt driven to jihad terrorism by his desperate poverty.
