Airports Suspicious Packages

In this frame grab taken from WABC-TV video, passengers disembark an Emirates airliner into an awaiting bus at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Friday Oct. 29, 2010, after the plane was escorted from the Canadian border to New York City by two military fighter jets. U.S. officials said there is no known threat associated with the plane, but it was being escorted to JFK as a precautionary move.

The Yemeni government expressed astonishment Thursday at reports linking it to two explosive packages found on cargo planes bound for the U.S.
Authorities in Britain and Dubai seized two explosive packages addressed to Chicago area synagogues on cargo jets. They said the packages originated from Yemen carried by Fedex and UPS parcel services…

The Yemeni government expressed astonishment ...

1. The action was taken by a group entirely separate from the Yemeni Government, so it is not entirely surprising they didn't know.
2. Let's assume they did know. Do you really think they're going to say, 'Oh, yes, we knew about it all the time but didn't think it worth bothering about', or, maybe, 'Of course we knew about it! So what are you going to do about it, punk?'
And talking of proof ...this article is headed 'No plane from Yemen'. And your evidence for that is?
I notice you quote the Taiwan News [and the link doesn't work] ... because, no doubt, Taiwan is a really authoritative source when it comes to Middle Eastern affairs.

Ghost plane?

Yemen - totally isolated from the world ... err, not.

The Yemeni Government may also have expressed its ignorance of the attack on the USS Cole. Still happened. And before inside job says that was an inside job, there is no shortage of suicide bombers as those who live [and have died] in Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan well know.
Of course, inside job is much better informed and much more widely travelled than all those foreign correspondents of the mainstream media, who are so easily hoodwinked by plots such as these. Oh, he isn't? What a surprise.

You are such an ill informed tit!! lol
One had a mobile phone on, the other a timer. Both were disabled by explosive experts.
You actually sound pissed off that they didnt blow up. I can't believe you are siding with terrorists on this. What are you? A terrorist?

That parcel has almost certainly been mailed by agents working for the Americans.
One's thoughts have to go out to the poor sod who's just been stitched up by them.

Really extremely odd.

I suppose that some of our commentators expect that people in the - what shall we call it? - less well developed parts of the world do things like that as a matter of course. The thought that they might actually turn their attention elsewhere seems difficult for some people to grasp.

But the Americans have done little else throughout the entire War on Terror!
The Americans NEED this war to survive.
The greatest threat to the United States...is peace!
Its exactly the same for Israel.

Now tell us exactly why the greatest threat to Israel is peace.

What i'm interested in is that various brown coloured individuals like going on planes with explosives in their shoes/pants/rectum trying to blow it up.
If there was "White only" flights I would choose those as a preference
Why shouldn't I? The statistics indicate it is likely to be a safer flight without a terrorist looking individual on board.

You see, we in the Intelligence Community get to see the world as it is instead of the world as it seems. Where the public see a great fiery crescendo of booming raging truth and thunder, we see a little sweaty man on a squeaky bicycle peddling furiously.
Israel for the public is a great nation with a ninja-like security service, military forces staffed by "I can do it all on my own" Rambo's and Nuclear weapons in the hundred's.
We see a bloke in a dinghy picking his nose sitting on a cardboard cannon bellowing through a megaphone "I shall fire on all who come near"!!!
Terrorism to Israel is what wax is to a candle.
It preserves the flame by which it can navigate to its destination.
Sir John Sawyers.
Nice but meaning aphorisms

'It preserves the flame by which it can navigate to its destination.'
Nice poetry. Lovely juggling with words. As an answer to the question? Complete bollocks.
Tell us, what is Israel's "destination" to which it is navigating? And why does Israel need terrorism, as implied by your first remark? Or is this just fashionable, meaningless bollocks?

A moving train is always going somewhere! Only the passengers know where they are going. Perhaps you might like to go to Israel and ask somebody.
Why does Israel need terrorism?
That's like asking what 1+1 is after somebody has already told you the answer is 2!

Alas, It is more a case of well-founded suspicion. We who are close to the matter at hand tend to be in a better position to make these judgments.

Obama: Synagogues targeted in possible terror plot

excerpt from: Obama: Synagogues targeted in possible terror plot
Ynetnews, 29 October 2010
US President Barack Obama said Friday that suspicious packages sent from Yemen to the US apparently contained explosives, and that they were intended for Jewish institutions in Chicago.
Obama said investigators had discovered a "credible terrorist threat" against the United States and that security would be increased in response to the incident for as long as it takes. He said the parcels were bound for "two places of Jewish worship in Chicago."
