Al-Qaeda cell killed by Black Death 'was developing biological weapons' - Telegraph

People, wake-up. It's only a matter of time WHEN we will be attacked again. During Obama's watch, let us hope he doesn't waiver against the threat of fundamental Islamic terrorism.

So, I have to assume that you were one of those cheering when Obama stated that if there was actionable intelligence that we should strike al-Queda targets in Pakistan (as the Bush administration did after calling his remarks irresponsible)?

"They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al-Qaida leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will."


"I will not hesitate to use military force to take out terrorists who pose a direct threat to America. This requires a broader set of capabilities, as outlined in the Army and Marine Corps's new counter-insurgency manual. I will ensure that our military becomes more stealth, agile, and lethal in its ability to capture or kill terrorists. We need to recruit, train, and equip our armed forces to better target terrorists, and to help foreign militaries to do the same. This must include a program to bolster our ability to speak different languages, understand different cultures, and coordinate complex missions with our civilian agencies."


August 1, 2007

"This is the moment when we must renew our resolve to rout the terrorists who threaten our security in Afghanistan, and the traffickers who sell drugs on your streets. No one welcomes war. I recognize the enormous difficulties in Afghanistan. But my country and yours have a stake in seeing that NATO’s first mission beyond Europe’s borders is a success. For the people of Afghanistan, and for our shared security, the work must be done. America cannot do this alone. The Afghan people need our troops and your troops; our support and your support to defeat the Taliban and al Qaeda, to develop their economy, and to help them rebuild their nation. We have too much at stake to turn back now."

ovcatto, this didn't happen in Pakistan. Below is from the above article.
The group of 40 terrorists were reported to have been killed by the plague at a training camp in Algeria earlier this month

This is happy news! 40 less Allah-Aktards that the world has to feed. I hope they suffered a horrible death. Now if we can only get them to try their hand and build nukes...

Pretty much - sounds like they got what they had coming. I can't say I'm disappointed by the outcome.

Maybe "they" want us to believe it was just the plague. Could be the bio-weapons backfired on them.

Sort of irrelevant to my post which was to address your main concern. i.e., "During Obama's watch, let us hope he doesn't waiver against the threat of fundamental Islamic terrorism."

Yes, "they" weren't the ones who infiltrated and exposed them to the black plague hoping it would spread to all their cohorts. *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

You mean you want the USA to unilaterally attack other nations on the pretense of there being terrorist camps there???

And what we think of as a terrorist they might think of as a freedom fighter....who is Obama to judge such people???

Where is your righteous indignation at this abuse of other nations sovereignty????

LOL....it is quite funny really how everything is different now that Obama is in charge.

As to the OP,I would think it is quite possible that this AQ cell was experimenting with a biological weapon...
