[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] I'd respond, but really, it's the same old junk Cartman always spews, and besides, I'm too busy boiling vats of crow for Tomorrow. http://msnbc.com/news/868277.asp?0bl=-0 [QUOTE]When U.S.-led forces began their air attacks against Baghdad, one of Iraq�s intelligence agencies attempted unsuccessfully to carry out terrorist bombings against U.S. embassies and other facilities, including targets in Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta, according to U.S. intelligence assessments. According to these assessments, Hussein sent pairs of agents to many countries where they were to pick up explosives or weapons that had already been sent abroad. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Two terrorists in the Philippines blew themselves up trying to plant a bomb outside the U.S. cultural center in 1991. Another bomb was found before it could be detonated outside the breakfast room of the U.S. ambassador�s residence in Jakarta. Richard Butler, the former U.N. weapons inspector, was Australia�s ambassador to Thailand at the time of the Persian Gulf War. �Saddam sent a terrorist hit group to Bangkok,� he told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last July. �The existence of that group was identified by intelligence authorities, and their plan was to make an attack upon the embassies of the United States, Australia and Israel in Bangkok.� He said the Australian embassy was targeted because Australia was part of the coalition that fought to force Iraq out of Kuwait. Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan threatened last week to send �thousands of suicide attackers� against U.S. targets outside Iraq. �We have no long-range missiles or bomber squadrons, but we will deploy thousands of suicide attackers,� Ramadan told the German weekly, Der Spiegel. �These are our new weapons, and they will be used not only in Iraq.� [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
