Terror cell 'smuggled missiles into Europe'

Telegraph reported An Islamic terror cell has smuggled two surface-to-air missiles into Europe in a plot to shoot down planes at one of France's main airports, it was claimed yesterday.

Wakeup Europe. The Islamofascists are out to get you. France does not have any troops in Iraq, and in fact they were bought and paid for by Saddam, and yet that does not protect them from these Islamofascists.

French and Algerian extremists with links to al-Qa'eda bought the Russian SA-18 Grouse missiles from Chechens in 2002 and smuggled them via Georgia and Turkey, according to French anti-terror sources quoted in Le Figaro. Both missiles and several of the extremists are reportedly still at large.... According to Abu Atiya, one such group, the so-called "Chechen network", returned to France with the missiles and chemical and biological agents such as botulin, ricin and cyanide.

I wonder of Prince Charles was aware of this when he said he was going to lecture George Bush on how nice the Muslims are.

CQ blogged One has to wonder, when seeing Sadik's list of chemical and biological materiel he admits to sending into Europe, where al-Qaeda managed to get it. He told the Jordanians that he sent ricin, botulin, and cyanide with the SAMs. All three will kill with great efficiency, but ricin is especially deadly and not exactly difficult to produce. However, it seems unlikely that AQ has a stable enough shelter system to have its own production facilities. If it doesn't, the WMD had to come from somewhere -- either the Russians, who deny having any, or one of the countries which AQ has infiltrated, perhaps even Iraq.

California Yankee blogged It's not just America the evildoers hate, they seek to conquer all freedom loving people. Appeasement is perceived as the weakness it is and only encourages the terrorists.

Bluto blogged My opinion is that an attack on French soil will goad the Gauls into action. Too many of them view Islamic terrorism in merely academic terms right now, but a plane shot down over Orly, or some ricin in le Métro will expose the bankruptcy of appeasement. They shouldn't need such a ghastly event to nudge them in the right direction, but...the French are the French.

blogged If true, both these stories could have some amazing geopolitical implications...
