New Al-Qaida Operations Concealed By The Media
2003-06-01
Source: Alshorouq.org, KFMD TV & Islammessage.com, Translated by JUS
According to sources closely related to the Al-Qaeda organization, two successful operations were carried approximately ten days ago in Kuwait and in the USA, and both of them were totally neglected or concealed by both Arab and western media.
We do that all the time. So does the Arab media...
The first operation took place in Al-Abdali area in Kuwait when an Afghan driver opened up heavy gun fire on American soldiers near a military camp killing more than 25 and injuring 7 Nevertheless, the Kuwaiti and Arab media ignored the attack that was rated by Al-Qaida as middle-scale operation. So far the information about this attack is hidden and scarce, but Al-Qaida related websites promised to release more details soon.
We'll be waiting for the details...
The second operation took place in the main oil refinery in Texas that led to the total destruction of the refinery and unknown number of casualties.
The main oil refinery in Texas, hmmm?
Sources criticized the American coward and liar way of controlling the media not only in the US but in the Arab world as well so that no single bit of information was announced about the 2 operations or even the losses. The sources promised to release a new audio tape for Osama Bin Laden the Head of Al-Qaida organization about the Mujahedeen operations especially this major one in Texas, in addition to commenting on the current events that took place the area recently.
Should be coming any time now...
On the other hand, some American sources mentioned that a huge explosion took place in the main oil refinery in Texas.
Thought you said nobody mentioned it? Make up your mind, if any...
According to Lieutenant Paul Limoin from Niches police station, the explosion fires spread from 300 to 400 feet vertically in the air that could be seen and heard from miles. The explosion was so strong that it resulted in very strong pressure in the area.
The local American TV station KFDM was the only one to transmit the incident live on Tuesday the 20th of May at about 11 PM. KFDM attributed the incident to a tough explosion in a natural gas tube line at Jefferson district.

#5  In refinery news, Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P.'s oil off-loading operations were reportedly restarting Thursday (22 May) at the company's Nederland, Texas, terminal after a natural gas pipeline explosion late Tuesday (20 May)caused a fire and power outage that shut down the facility.
This is the only oil fire in Texas on that date. We have so many no one noticed.

#3  I looked around the net, KFMD is a radio station in Denver CO. There is no town of "Niches" in Texas. And I misspelled my name last post as Rifke, it is Rifle, sigh.
And Fred beat me to the punch...

#2  KFMD appears to be a Denver FM station, rather than a Texas television station. Islammessage.com is a religious site with a "weekly message" content. It looks like it was designed by the same web designer who did Taliban On-Line, which has been defunct lately. Alshorouq.org is in Arabic. It appears to be a news site.

#1   I live in Texas, and while I have not been paying close attention to the print or TV lately I have not heard of even an industrial accident at any Texas refinery. I will check out Niches. Anyway, the story about some "lone gunman" killing 25 troops is really unbelieveable as the lack of shooting skills by these clowns was amply demonstrated during the war. Al-Qaeda is sounding desparate trying to prove it can hurt the US, despite 1.5 years of no attacks on US soil and our victories in Afghanistan and Iraq. Quess they hope it will be believed by the "Arab Street".
