And the Lockerbie bomber is now where?
AL Qaeda bomb plotters hoped to stage a Lockerbie-style outrage over Britain.
Explosives found inside a modified printer ink cartridge on board a cargo plane at East Midlands Airport were primed to detonate in mid-air.
The device was active when counter-terror police swooped on the aircraft early on Friday.
Yemen-based terrorists had built the bomb to go off in British air space, just like the Lockerbie atrocity of 1988 which killed 270 people.
Guess all “wedding gift” packages will now be thoroughly searched. More skin crawling pat downs for all, longer wait lines at the airport, more broken items traveling through cargo carriers. Yes, indeed.
The alert was triggered by intelligence from a unit of GCHQ surveillance experts stationed in Afghanistan, the Sunday Express can reveal. Operating from a converted shipping container in Helmand, the team picked up the words “A wedding gift is being delivered”.
The phrase is an Al Qaeda code meaning a bomb is in transit.
With the help of Saudi agents, GCHQ alerted MI6, which raised the alarm in London and Washington.
Bright.
It was also revealed last night that a woman had been arrested in San’a on suspicion of sending explosive packages on cargo planes to the US.
A Yemeni security source said security forces traced the woman through a telephone number she left with a cargo company. Her lawyer, Abdel Rahman Burman, told reporters: “Her acquaintances tell me that she is a quiet student and there was no knowledge of her having involvement in any religious or political groups.”
Authorities also arrested UPS and FedEx workers and were interrogating them last night, along with employees at San’a Airport.
via Seconds from Lockerbie II. By the way, did I forget to mention that there are still other suspect packages that have not been located yet?

This sounds like a “dry run” for a airborne nuke hit. Think about it. How much time does FedEx or UPS have to check every package that is loaded onto one of their airplanes? But think about this. It was O-What’s-His Name himself who admitted that the thing he thinks about the most is a terrorist nuke hit.
Yet, on the other hand, he himself yanked a proposed cut in US funding of Chad, the Congo, Sudan … and yep, you got it… YEMEN, even though their use of children as soldiers is well documented…
We’re now at the stage of our game, which is perhaps akin to the final last gasps of the Nazis, when they began drafting kids. And that’s when the really dirty part of the war began…
For some ungodly reason on this Earth, creatures large and small have never learned from the ultimate evil, which is in the ability to look the other way while one kills off their own offspring…
Tragic. Yet this is our world today… Go figure.

this is more false flag designed to drum up support for expanding our wars.
It resembles the anthrax frame ups more than anything else, and has much the same goal of increasing tolerance to a totalitarian government.

“A wedding gift is being delivered”.
The phrase is an Al Qaeda code meaning a bomb is in transit.”
Since f#cking when. That is not a real coded message. It is strange, it is eye-catching; it clearly states there is a delivery.
Codes do not work like that.
They are coded. That’s why they call them CODES.
Do no alarm bells go off in one’s head to hear that Saudis relayed this? The freaking Saudis are the chief beneficiary of our expanding war in Yemen.
Just… no. This is a false flag, just like all the bin Laden tapes right before our elections.
good grief, it’s not even a new trick; how can people be so gullible as to fall for this same shit again and again and again?October 31, 2010 at 11:35 am
Why not simplify? I once knew someone who did this work (listening), he said it doesn’t have to be difficult.
October 31, 2010 at 12:01 pm
mcnorman, that is not a believable code. a code can be simple without being obvious.
and for fuckssake, wires sticking out of the packages, exposed circuit boards, and covered with white powder? an untrained monkey would have found those packages noteworthy.

Honestly, I don’t think that the media is going to get the real goods on anything that is security related Nom. I do believe that this time there was some simplicity involved and they were most definately looking for a woman. That was obvious in September.

The media is complicit in the whole thing, just like all the previous false flags.
The woman arrested’s mother was likewise arrested. When I see a mother and daughter arrested for fake terrorism, the only thing that pops in my head
is: of whom did the husband/father run afoul?
There are numerous US military & governmental reports that state the president of Yemen, the guy we support, hires AQAP.
That being the definitive case, ramping up our war there to keep him propped up in power seems more than dubious.
These incidents are not credible.

The whole thing stinks to me- first we hear about the child soldier shit in Yemen- then we hear about these bombs- traded the lives of children for the info about the bombs maybe? Or faked the fraud out by telling him the bombs would go off if he did not exempt the bastards?
Then I hear this morning the bomb maker is a Saudi. When do the brad and circuses crowd start to get it?
November 1, 2010 at 6:02 am
Ahh PMM, they are so easily distracted that it is unlikely they will get it.

Ibrahim Hassan Al Asiri, the purported bomb maker is a Saudi. And that is indeed of significance.
However.
It was his brother Abdullah that attempted to assassinate the Saudi royal, Deputy Minister of the Interior Prince Muhammad Abdul Aziz Al-Saud. One will recall his (at least supposed) unique method of attempting a suicide bombing.
That is: the Al Asiri brothers are (well, were in the case of Abdullah) enemies of the Saudi government & it is the Saudi government, the US government’s ally, that benefits most from the Saleh government in Yemen and the US interference in the civil war.
Here is my question: if this guy is such an expert bomb-maker, why would he leave exposed wires and circuit boards and white powder (purported PETN, at that) on the outside of the package? That is hardly the technique of a master bomb-maker.
Just sayin.
November 1, 2010 at 11:29 am
Master bomb maker? I don’t know Nom, they love goats and that has me perplexed as well.
November 1, 2010 at 12:40 pm
It’s perfectly obvious that the bombs were not made by Al Asiri if in fact Al Asiri is a master bomb maker as we are told. It’s obvious too that a wedding gift in transit is not a proper code.
Someone who lies is by definition a liar. There’s no reason to believe any of this story given us by liars, except a blind spot of hatred towards muslims in general that allows one to believe anything bad about them merely because it is bad.
I am not a fan of islam, but neither do I have a blind spot regarding muslims. The stories we are given are not credible.
I am perplexed how few people seem to be angry that they are being lied to.
