3 Kuwaitis Detained in Terror Plot
2003-02-24
Three Kuwaitis have been detained on suspicion of planning terrorist attacks on U.S. forces in Kuwait, the Interior Ministry announced Monday. The three were found with weapons and ammunition, the ministry said. It did not say when the men were detained or if they had been charged. The ministry identified the three as Ahmed Mutlaq al-Mutairi, 29, Abdullah Mutlaq al-Mutairi, 32, Musaed Horan al-Enezi, 28. It said the men were suspected of planning terrorist attacks on American forces based in Kuwait ahead of a possible U.S.-led attack on neighboring Iraq. The arrests follow a series of attacks on American soldiers and civilians in Kuwait and come as U.S. military forces mass here for a possible war to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
The longer our troops are massed there, the more risk there is of a terror attack.

#2  I suppose if you had asked: "Do you support al-Queda's demand that ever man should should have 3 virgins a day for free?" you would have gotten similar results.
If the question is rigged the outcome can't be fair.
Leave out al-Quaeda in the question and the results would be quite similar. Except in Kuwait probably.

#1  According to our French anti-jihadis at www.proche-orient.com: "The latest survey conducted by the internet website of al-Jazeera, between Feb. 19-22, posed the following question, 'Do you endorse al-Qaeda's demand for the removal of American troops from the Gulf?' The answers are edifying: 85.6% voted YES; 10.5% voted NO; and 2.8% were undecided. The number of voters: 56,183."

Message: Screw their sensibilities. Screw restraint. The only way to deal with a self-proclaimed mortal enemy, is to kill them in large numbers.
