Al-Qaeda Urges Muslims to Derail Trains in Britain and U.S.
2017-08-17
[Breitbart] al-Qaeda’s glossy magazine has urged Moslems to attack trains in Britannia and the U.S., claiming tracks are a weak spot in the West, and gives detailed instruction on how to sabotage lines.

Safeguarding thousands of miles of track is "practically impossible" and attacks would cause "great damage and destruction" without the need for explosives, the terrorist group said in the 17th edition of Inspire, which is "dedicated" to train attacks.

#8  Greens love trains over the personal freedom of automobiles.

I wonder at what point do the Jihadists piss of the greens.

#7  The derailer pictured in the article looks to be made from lightweight metal and would not survive the initial hit from a modern locomotive. But the principle as shown is accurate. This could get scary; think not just a passenger train but any unit train carrying oil, gas, ethanol, etc and jumping the tracks in a highly populated area. I would expect any train watchers to get visited by railroad security starting about now.

#5  Someday these fanatical assholes are going to do something so heinous we're left with no logical choice but to annihilate them all.

Until then, we're just spinning our wheels.
