Zarqawi Planning WMD Attack Europe
Forget Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi is now the most dangerous man in the world.
The monthly German magazine "Cicero" claims that Zarqawi is planning a major attack in Europe. Zaman:
The magazine quotes a German intelligence official saying, "We fear that Zarqawi is planning a big explosion." Zarqawi is trying to source arms equipment from the region of Georgia and the northern Caucasus, according to Cicero. Another intelligence official says in the article that he does not know if Zarqawi has managed to procure arms. "We only know that he has been working on this," the official said. Cicero pointed out that at least 150-security guards are investigating a planned terrorist attack in Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg or Berlin.

Zarqawi has made such threats in the past. In December, German papers ran stories alleging that the terrorist leader was planning a terror strike of greater magnitude than 9/11. What is new is that intelligence has specific targets.
A chemical weapons lab was found in Fallujah shortly, but no quantities of WMD were located. Fallujah was Zarqawi's headquarters until it was liberated by U.S. troops late last year.
Further, (WND):
Zarqawi is also being tried in absentia in Jordan for "planning a major chemical weapons attack that was uncovered by the authorities."

Heard all this before....don't you think that with everyone looking for him (use his real picture not that 20 year old pencil sketch) and with everyone's intel on these terrorist units, that we'll - meaning everyone else in the world - stop such an attack? They have stopped many attacks all over the world that we don't even know about. Donald Rumsfeld is down in South America having talks and everyone is on guard everywhere it seems. This too shall be stopped. Maybe little attacks with many deaths (unfortunately) will occur here and there but I don't think that a major catastrophe will happen.
Zarqawi has always been the most dangerous man in the world. Bin Laden does talk, sends tapes, makes threats, but his hands never get dirty. Zarqawi on the other hand, doesn't care how dirty and disgusting his hands get.
Lets hope we get them before they get anyone else. Or us. We are strong; we can bounce back. There's another to worry about every day without worrying about terrorist attacks. Let the ones who are supposed to take care of those things do their jobs and as always, just keep our eyes open.
I heard that in Iraq, they have a nuclear station and that all 6 guards (only 6 guards?) had been killed several weeks ago. Hopefully they have more guards and each country is doing their bit including France and Germany and the Netherlands.

Doesn't Zarqawi know that islam is already taking the EU over from the inside? There's no need for terrorism there when countries like France and Spain are already embracing sharia law.

We've given him training opportunities in our hamfisted and botched adventure in Iraq. Our Bushian approach has boosted his support base, skills and confidence. Blue Team has taught Red Team - see "Zarqawi Graduates".
