Foiled Al Qaeda Attackers Caught Red-Handed with WMDs

Two members of an al Qaeda cell connected to top terror master Abu Musab al-Zarqawi have been caught in Jordan with chemical weapons and poisonous gas for a planned attack that Jordanian officials say would have killed up to 20,000 people.

The officials told the London-based newspaper al-Hayat on Friday that the al Qaeda plotters planned to launch a WMD attack against a Jordanian Military Intelligence installation, the US embassy in Amman and a government building in the country.

According to the Israeli newspaper Maariv, the al Qaeda terrorists managed to smuggle three cars packed with explosives into Amman. Jordanian security forces found a chemical charge in one vehicle.

"The bomb, had it been detonated, could have affected people in a one kilometer radius and cause the deaths of up to 20,000 people," Jordanian officials told Maariv

According to United Press International, the al Qaeda car was intercepted just 75 miles from the Syrian border and "carried explosives, a chemical bomb and poisonous gas."

The discovery of the al Qaeda WMD plot is sure to renew speculation that some of Saddam Hussein's missing weapons of mass destruction were hidden in Syria before the U.S. attacked in March 2003, and have now found their way into al Qaeda's hands.

As of Saturday morning, the White House had not commented on the al Qaeda WMD plot and its possible ties to Iraq.

King Abdullah: Al Qaeda WMDs Came From Syria

Jordan's King Abdullah revealed on Saturday that vehicles reportedly containing chemical weapons and poison gas that were part of a deadly al Qaeda bomb plot came from Syria, the country named by U.S. weapons inspector David Kay last year as a likely repository for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

"It was a major, major operation. It would have decapitated the government," King Abdullah told the San Francisco Chronicle. Jordanian officials estimated that the death count could have been as high as 20,000 - seven times greater than the Sept. 11 attacks.

Abdullah said that trucks containing 17.5 tons of explosives had come from Syria, though he took pains not to implicate Syrian President Bashir Assad in the al Qaeda plot, saying, "I'm completely confident that Bashir did not know about it."

In his testimony before Congress last year, Mr. Kay said U.S. satellite surveillance showed substantial vehicular traffic going from Iraq to Syria just prior to the U.S.attack on March 19, 2003 attack.

While Kay said investigators couldn't be sure the cargo contained weapons of mass destruction, one of his top advisors described the evidence as "unquestionable."

"People below the Saddam-Hussein-and-his-sons level saw what was coming and decided the best thing to do was to destroy and disperse," said James Clapper, in comments reported by the New York Times on Oct. 29. Clapper heads up the National Imagery and Mapping Agency.

Israeli intelligence has long believed that after the U.S. delayed invasion plans to allow U.N. weapons inspectors time to search for Iraq's WMDs, Saddam moved the banned weapons to Syria, the only other country where the Ba'ath Party ruled.

On April 1, Jordanian officials announced the arrest of several terrorist suspects, saying they were still hunting for two cars filled with explosives.

Five days later, the State Department revealed the attackers were linked to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian-based terrorist considered to be one of al Qaeda's most dangerous. One of Zarqawi's targets was the U.S. embassy in Amman.

By Saturday morning European news services were quoting an unnamed Jordanian official who revealed that the al Qaeda plotters planned to use weapons of mass destruction in the foiled attack.

"We found primary materials to make a chemical bomb which, if it had exploded, would have made nearly 20,000 deaths ... in an area of one square kilometre," the official told Agence France Press.

Another operation planned by the network was to use "deadly gas against the US embassy and the prime minister's office in Amman," he added.

A car belonging to the al Qaeda plotters, containing a chemical bomb and poisonous gas, was intercepted just 75 miles from the Syrian border.

Wow....I wonder were they got those weapons... :roll: ....I have a slight feeling in my gut that those might have come from a country we know(that starts with an I and ends with a Q) that shipped them out to the terrorist :wink:

I am just glad that they found all this stuff because the deaths of 20,000 innocent people would have been to horrific to even think about :cry:

I guess it's added proof that Iraq and Syria could be helping the terrorists and not helping us. It's still a dangerous part of the world. We cannot count out Syria either because that country has come up on occasion.

I dont think that "Israel" is Israel that is indicated in the bible. Israel is God's country, yet the current "Israel" denies the existence of the lord and savior. I have a feeling that the Israel that is discussed is a Christian version, where God is revered

Wait!!! Wait!! There aren't any WMD's. Not any being shipped out to Syria or anywhere else. Just ask all the wonderful democrats supporting our President and his war on terror. You know the same ones who think we should bring all our troops home since we are doing no good. Yep and the media is so unbiased about the WMD too. I notice it has been all over the news today!!!NOT!!!!!!

Be interesting to see if Jordanians now want to mix it up with Syria, perhaps not identical races but at least not identifyable as "big bad USA versus Muslim state" and agitating one of your own "kind" could put a new light on this or at least get USA out of the sole spotlight.

<i>I think Bush needs to rot.</i>

If he doesn't get tough in Iraq, then I agree. However, only if Kerry is not elected. Bush should actually fight a WAR in Iraq so that we WIN, then pressure the other arab thugs and prehaps establish a Christian state in the region. If he is such a Christian as he claims, then it's time he follows the great commission and stop worrying about how the cowards of the world think
