Israeli security officials assess that 2006 is the "target year" set by the global al-Qaeda network to carry out a mega-attack in the country, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday. 
According to the report, Israeli intelligence authorities detected two years ago the shift in priorities of al Qaeda towards Israel, which has been "upgraded" to the rank of a major target. Recently, al Qaeda chief in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi declared his intentions to carry out an attack in Israel.
The report added Syria has been identified as a transfer point for al Qaeda members planning to carry out attacks in Jordan and Israel. It should be mentioned that on Wednesday Israeli Deputy Chief of Staff Moshe Kaplinski said that "global Jihad forces" maintain regular bases in Lebanon and Jordan.

A senior Palestinian security official says his services have uncovered an Israeli plot to create a fake al-Qaeda cell in the Gaza Strip, a charge Israel has dismissed as absurd.

enough troubles with taking hallucinating drugs? Stop taking drugs and start working to build your country!
By the way Sophie, if I was you I would be very worried! Apparently (www.stupidarabconspiracy.org), the Israelis are planning to use a specially trained dog that can identify stupid girls and bite their bottom! |

There was a joke that sort of went like this: One day Gorbachev was complaining about the inconsistencies of their security agencies reporting, he was saying: Indira Ghandi gets assasinated we get informed two days later, Pope gets assasinated we get informed two days ahead of it!! These Israeli reporting is sort of like that. It is interesting that all these times Al Qaeda has never attempted or targeted an Israeli target. I find it such an odd coincidence. Israel has never been a target for Al Qaeda never mind being a top priority for it. I thought Bin Laden didn't care much for Israel. We could not guess from Bin Laden's actions. As mafia wise guys say:" Forget about it!! |
