(AP)  Iraqi authorities have obtained confessions from captured insurgents who claim al Qaeda is planning suicide attacks in the United States and Europe during the Christmas season, two senior officials said Wednesday.

Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told The Associated Press that the botched bombing in central Stockholm last weekend was among the alleged plots the insurgents revealed. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, in a telephone interview from New York, called the claims "a critical threat."

Both al-Bolani and Zebari said Iraq has informed Interpol of the alleged plots, and alerted authorities in the U.S. and European countries of the possible danger. Neither official specified which country or countries in Europe are alleged targets.

underwear bomber. shoe bomber. botched stockholm plot..

I keep hearing how these clowns are 'well-trained'... how fucking well trained to you have to be to blow something up when you're willing to die in the blast???

Their ineptitude is truly mindboggling. I'll bet for every one bomb that makes it on target, 10 blow up in their garage wiping out the whole cell.

But maybe that explains their anger. If I was that dumb... I'd be angry too.

No one will ever stop an Al Queda attack against CONUS with a firearm, unless it's LE busting the terrorists before they can execute.

To hell with them.  If they are going to do it, they are going to do it.  I'm not going to stop doiong stuff just because some religious fucking nutjob criminal wants some news headlines.

If they do have a go then it's just another excuse to bomb the cretinous tagnuts into extinction.  

Al Qaeda are just another bunch of paranoid islamic media whore rage boys.  It's not like it's a new thing.

I usually plan on visiting my family over the holidays.  I did have a girlfriend once, who, while entertaining enough in a carnal sort of way, had a family that could drive you to strap on a vest and head for the mall.  They were a nightmarish version of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation".  The horror, oh the horror.

At least in the case of the US, the ineptitude comes from the fact that the current attackers are recruited by the internet and 'mentored', but not actually indoctrinated/trained in the military sense...



They are going with the 'Hey, it's cool to be a Jihadi, join us' approach, reaching out through the web with a particular interest in US and European citizens, rather than sending guys trained in a camp in some Muslim country...
