| Media Silence On Attack On Amsterdam Bus |
| 2006-10-28 |
| H/T No Pasaran! THE HAGUE - A bus with passengers in Amsterdam was attacked by a home-made chemical explosive on Friday evening. The incident received only limited media attention. Police do not believe terrorism is involved. At around 10:00 p.m. Friday evening in the Duivendrecht district, a group of youths threw a plastic bottle with chemicals into a stationary bus carrying 20 passengers. The bottle exploded and a panic broke out. Two passengers suffered burns on their legs, local broadcaster RTV Noord-Holland reported based on police information. RTV Noord-Holland said it is unknown what liquid the bottle contained. Unconfirmed sources however say it was a liquid for unstopping drains. If this substance is mixed with aluminium and shaken up in a bottle, it explodes a few seconds later. As well as burns, the explosion can cause blindness and knock people unconscious. That would be a *real* firebomb, not a "chemical weapon"; btw, from the little I know, french Youths still haven't mastered the concept of molotov coktails (and so do the msm), and instead use simple gasoline filled bottles. The usual use for liquid drain-cleaning acid, or car battery acid, is not into real firebombs like here, but to fill bottles with it, and throw them at riot polices. Nasty burns. The two passengers, women aged 36 and 27, had their burns treated in hospital. The police confirmed that the driver was also hospitalised, for breathing problems. A spokesman said the assumption is not terrorism but "mischievous behaviour." The perpetrators disappeared without trace. A spokeswoman for Kruidvat drugstore in Duivendrecht confirmed on local TV station AT5 that many youngsters have recently been buying the product for unstopping drains. The store has removed the product from its shelves. Did they find the recipe on internet, in a jihadi website? Or is there a trained person among them? Algemeen Dagblad newspaper reported the incident on its website. Otherwise, it was not reported by leading media. |

| #6 Okay, how is an attack on a bus full of civilians by anyone using guns, chemicals, or explosives of any kind NOT a terrorist attack?(!!!) Some guesses, heh... 1) It's a Muzzy thingy, so we wouldn't understand 2) It's a Cultural thingy, so we wouldn't understand 3) It's a Yout thingy, so we... 4) It's Saturday, so we... 5) It's random Cosmic forces, the Youts had no idea why their bodies moved and... 6) It didn't happen, and you persist "they" will come and take you away... |

| #5 #2 Jack is Back; Ajax, eh? Is there an anti-Semitic angle, do you think? (For non-soccer RB'ers, Ajax is known as a "Jewish" team. Their fans wave Israeli flags, etc.) |

| #4 Okay, how is an attack on a bus full of civilians by anyone using guns, chemicals, or explosives of any kind NOT a terrorist attack?(!!!) Somebody's got to explain this to me because I'm just a poor, dumb, ejekated, 'Merican security guard (who just happens to have a PhD and works at one of the nation's most prestigious national laboratories, not that that means anythin'). |

| #3 I wondered when they would simply start taking out the buses with passengers still aboard. True, this was Brussels, not Paree. But, word travels fast among jihadis, er, youths, er... When we see 30, 40, 50 deaths, as in Israel bus bombings, I wonder if this will make a difference ? Or will they still hide it from the public so as not to induce panic ? Their gov't media is better at coverup than your local cat covering a pile of shit. |

| #2 Out by the Ajax football stadium. Always hooligans there. Outside of the English, the Dutch have the biggest assembly of soccer hooligans (well actually the Poles do but then they have more people). |

| #1 Did they find the recipe on internet, in a jihadi website? Or is there a trained person among them? The local mosque has an imam, right? |
