| Zarqawi aide requests permission to attack the US, Vatican |
| 2005-05-01 |
| The deputy to Al Qaeda's frontman in Iraq, Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, has asked for orders to attack the White House and the Vatican, according to an audiotape posted on the Internet yesterday. "To our emir (leader) Abu Musab Al Zarqawi ... we say: We are ready for your orders. We are determined to fight the infidels," said Sheikh Abdulrahman Al Iraqi in the tape, whose authenticity could not be verified. "If you point at the White House or the Vatican, we would make every effort so that you reach your target," he added, in the online statement broadcast a day after a call by Zarqawi to his followers to intensify their fight against the Americans in Iraq. This is the first time that Al Qaeda, the terror group led by Osama bin Laden, mentions the Vatican as a possible target. Meanwhile, at least six people were killed and 30 wounded in four separate car bombings in Iraq yesterday, three of them targeting army patrols. In one attack, a suicide driver ploughed into a joint Iraqi-US military convoy, killing two civilians and wounding six, an Interior Ministry official said. Police said four Iraqi soldiers were also wounded. The attack near Maysalun Square came a day after two other car bombs targeted the same eastern Baghdad district, part of a wave of explosions that caused havoc in the greater Baghdad area on Thursday. The group of Zarqawi claimed responsibility for the attack in an Internet statement. A second car bomb, possibly set off by a suicide attacker, exploded at around 2:30pm outside a building where Sunni Arab politicians from the Council on National Dialogue were meeting, security officials said. One guard, sitting outside in a car, was killed, while 10 people, three of them guards, were wounded. The Sunni leaders escaped unharmed. The council was one of a number of moderate Sunni groups that took part in negotiations for the new cabinet line-up unveiled on Thursday, to the fury of insurgents and their hardline supporters among the ousted elite. A third car bomb, set off by a suicide attacker at about 6pm, targeted a US military convoy near Al Shaab stadium in the east of the capital, police said. It killed two civilians, wounded six and damaged four passing cars but the convoy escaped unscathed. In the main northern city of Mosul, a female passer-by was killed and four Iraqi commandos wounded when a suicide bomber blew up a vehicle as a police convoy passed, police and medical sources said. |

| #3 I believe the ultimate target will be against Dubya and the leadership of the GOP-RIght in the Congress, etal. - Kerry, Gore, Madman Dean, and Der StalinReich CrockerFrau, People's Waffen SS Soviet Cookie Corps Hillary have already been PC "pre-positioned" to take over the reins of Govt post new 9-11. Kerry, Gore, and Dean are there to make sure Amerika fails while proclaiming otherwise. The Commies know Dubya knows that Commie Hillary will NOT run for POTUS per se in 2008 iff the various Rogue crises are not yet resolved, thus no matter what non-war policy(s) Dubya enacts against Iran and NK, etc. the Mad Mullahs and Norkies will deliberately do everything and anything to goad/induce Dubya, America, and America's volunteer Army to [ideal] CONVENTIONALLY attack and invade them, or else wage at worst LIMITED NUKE WAR, wars which are intended to domestically and politically DESTABILIZE America and PC induce Washington to promote evermore domestic Regulations and national Militarizations beyond that what Radical Islam and the first 9-11 have already caused. CLINTONISM > a hated Nazi/HItlerist is Still a hated Nazi/Hitlerist, but a Leftist-Socialist-Communist is a Nazi/HItlerist whose still for Leftism and Communism, i.e. a "GOOD" NAZI/HITLERIST WHOSE NOT A NAZI/HITLERIST" - the fact that both Moscow and Beijng have recently proclaimed government support for traditional Rightist-, RIghtism-based Conservatism/Nationalism, and "Fascist" objectives-agendas should tell youse that. The Left won't care because they are both for and against everyone and every side, even for and against their own, hence youse and only youse will be the ones where the Left is concerned whom has the burden of proving any each and all of their actual intentions or ventures - you know, SECULAR ETHICISM/MORALISM, the -ism that weirdly and mysteriously is consistent or non-dialectical as per Mass-based PROPAGANDA AND UTOPIANISM!? Left-beloved Dialecticism > the CLintons will be crying and lamenting at soldiers', Dubya's and America's funeral(s) while wondering why Islamist WMDS didn't make a bigger hole in Dubya's skull or kill more Americans like was planned!? |

| #2 They have to ask if they can murder "infidels"? What a bunch of losers. Go on, "Mama" Z - tell your little baby whiners if they have your permission to attack the big bad Satan. *snort* Or better yet, tell them to go for the Vatican. I think you'll find out the vast majority of the world's Catholics are nothing like the Kennedy, Kerry, et al. Revenge will not be cold. |
