CornishChris 5 #7 July 7, 2005 Quite a conspiracy theory. What is more important to disrupt from a terrorist point of view- a meeting of western world leaders, most of whom support te conflict in Iraq or a city that just got a big sporting event. As far as I am aware there is no real jihad/holy war (call it what you will), against high jumpers and decatheletes... CJP Gods don't kill people.

ViperPilot 0 #8 July 7, 2005 Your both right. There are cells all over the world. Basically, this plan was perfected a year ago (just throwing out a number). Then updated as need be. However, it all comes down to a phone call. This same attack could not have happened today, but the cell would be just as ready in a week, or a month, or a year from now. That's one of the reason's it's so damn hard to stop these guys. However, the real reason for why they happened today could be either the olympics or G8. Aggie's right in that they were just waiting for a call, but either one of you could be right as to the reason they got that call. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think there are terrorist cells in each of the cities in the running and which ever one got it is the cell that got active. I think that the G8 is a coincidence. I'm inclined to suspect the attack was linked to the G8 summit. Soft targets. Economic infrastructure. Characteristic of the 'global Salafist jihad.' Beyond the reported claims, multiple plots have been interdicted in UK over the last 18 months. It's also not the first time the G7/G8 has been targeted by terrorists, although in a different time by a very different group. In protest of the 1985 G7 economic summit meeting in Bonn, a leftist group -- the Revolutionary Cells (RZ) -- detonated multiple bombs at office buildings symbolic of major German business and banking industries. On 29 April 1985, a bomb detonated in front of an office of Hoechst A.G., at the time a major West German chemical and pharmaceutical company. Two other bombs were directed at a Deutsch Bank-affiliated structure in Cologne and at the headquarters of an aerospace industry trade organization. Four days later a bomb exploded along an outer wall of a building used by a French Hoechst subsidiary in Cologne. Another larger bomb was disarmed before it detonated in the courtyard of the main West German defense contractor, the Defense Technical Procurement Agency in Koblefz. No fatalities or casualties were reported in any of the incidents. They were highly symbolic targets. The bombings were timed to coordinate with the arrival of leaders from the seven major economic powers of the world for the annual summit. Condolences to all affected. marg Act as if everything you do matters, while laughing at yourself for thinking anything you do matters.

Could it have anything to do with the people of the UKs' attitude toward the Identity Card? Could this have been an inside attack? Why did Scotland Yard warn the Israelis and not the general population? What was Ruldolph Gulliani doing there? Will this take focus off of the Rove scandal? Who posted as the "Secrect Organization of Al-Queida in Iraq ". Is this a real group or is it another Mossad cover? Racist comments deleted.
