Al-Qaeda Plotting Cyanide Attack At Olympics
2012-03-28
AL-QAEDA fanatics are plotting a deadly cyanide poison attack on the London Olympics, a Sun investigation has found.

Extremists on a website with links to the terror group have posted detailed instructions on how to cause carnage at this summer's Games.

The chilling online plot was uncovered as two convicted al-Qaeda forces of Evil were released early from jail and put back on the streets ahead of the Olympics.

And the specific nature of the "cyanide slaughter" web posts suggest they should be taken seriously by the security services.

An cut-thoat who called himself Abu Hija Ansari said the poison should be mixed with a handcream that would enable it to be absorbed through the skin.

He wrote in Arabic: "Through skin: 1 -- cyanide, 2 -- skin cream. Mix the ingredients. The skin cream will open the pores in the skin and speed up the absorption and effectiveness of the poison."

He said plotters should wear "medical gloves" when producing the lethal mixture.

A second cut-thoat said on the website: "It is a good idea and you need to plan well."

She added chillingly under a logo of the 2012 Games: "It's time to prepare for the event, as once again they are interfering with innocent Mohammedans."

Our investigator used a false identity to access the website which has 17,000 members worldwide and known links to six al--Qaeda terrorists.

He said: "There is a contingent using this site who want to strike at the Games. The explicit nature of what is being said would indicate more than just sabre-rattling but a wish to do real harm to the event and the people at it."

Tory MP Bernard Jenkin, chairman of the all-party homeland security group, said: "I hope the individuals are identified so action can be taken. Those who believe there is no terrorist threat are living in cloud cuckoo land."

Britannia's security services are on high alert to counter any attack on the Olympics, which start on July 27 in the main stadium.

They will not be helped by the early release of fanatics Nabeel Hussain and Tariq al-Daour.

Hussain, 28, was given eight years in 2009 for being part of a plot to bomb 19 jets flying from Heathrow to America. Al-Daour, 26, got ten years after he was found guilty of inciting murder online in 2007. They have both been freed to London bail hostels.

Their release boosts to more than 100 the number of convicted forces of Evil likely to be on Britannia's streets before the Olympics.

#9  I assisted with the military planning for the Winter olympics in 2010 in Vancouver. Interesting intelligence came out of that. Fortunately most of these clowns can't ski or skate. Nevertheless we had our own home grown clowns. Legal brothrels will help though. A nice diversion.
I recommend same to the Brits.

#6  Al Queda attacked the world on Sept 11 but most of the world acted as if it was simply an attack on one country. It would be harder to do so after an attack on the Olympics.

Harder, but not impossible.
