Just announced on Fox News Channel: Israeli General told Fox news reporter that Terrorists were trying to detonate a cyanide bomb at the same time that a homicide bomber blew up the Passover dinner.
Bomber planned to use cyanide in Netanya attack: Israel Wed Jun 05 2002 09:27:11 ET
A suicide bomber who killed 29 people in the Israeli town of Netanya on March 27 had planned to disperse cyanide with the blast, making the operation more deadly, an Israeli general was quoted as saying Wednesday.
Abdelbaset Odeih, who staged the so-called Passover bombing in the Park Hotel, was foiled by a last-minute technical difficulty, General Aaron Zeevi, Israeli military intelligence chief, said, according to the daily Maariv paper. Zeevi revealed this to the parliament's foreign affairs and security committee on Monday, the paper said.
The attack, which struck on the night of the religious feast of the Jewish passover, was the worst of its kind to hit the country, and was claimed by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas.
Two days later on March 29, the Israeli army launched the devastating "Defensive Walls " offensive on the West Bank Palestinian autonomous areas which ended on May 10.
Israeli security forces have been on the alert lately for a "mega-attack", and on Monday held a drill in Givatayim near Tel Aviv to train rescue and security services to deal with a scenario of a plane crashing into a building while a large bomb goes off in a basement where toxic chemicals are stored.
Last month, a near-disaster was averted when a bomb set fire to a tanker in the country's main fuel depot in a densely populated suburb of Tel Aviv but failed to ignite the vast reserves, an incident which experts said could have killed thousands of people.
Also last month, the Israeli army claimed it foiled a plot to blow up the Azrieli Tower skyscraper in Tel Aviv when it seized a large bomb in a raid on the Palestinian West Bank town of Qalqilya.

You mean from Chris Mathews???
There's half-a-truckload of cyanide missing somewhere in N. America.
Sort of a penal colony/independant nation with no way out but across the river through Jordan.
The latest story I read said that the cyanide had been found not far from where it had been stolen. Having said that, I am not totally sure I beleive the story.
If memory serves me correctly, the terrorist they captured in Port Angeles Washington, when he told about his training said that they would kill dogs with cyanide to get use to killing and that they learned how to use cyanide in the air handling systems of office buildings to kill lots of people. Also if I remember correctly, in the World Trade Center truck bomb incident they wanted to have cyanide blown into the wreckage to increase the killing power of the bomb.
I think that there is a clear Terrorist cyanide connection and that the FBI/NSA lurkers to this forum should make sure that the US Homeland Defense folks have a good idea of what this PLO kind of cyanide bomb looks like and can do, so they can prepare to defend against one in the US. Personally, I don't think that the Mexico cyanide theft was initiated by small time Mexican crooks. I think that there was a terrorist connection. I also think that there is an Al-Quida to PLO connection although it may not be direct.
From now on let's refer to the Palistinians as "Polyp-stinians"
definition: A usually nonmalignant growth or tumor protruding from the mucous lining of an organ such as the nose, bladder, or intestine, often causing obstruction.
They have been a UNWANTED GROWTH in Israel and and are causing grief and problems to the region...
Just tossing out an idea. (hehehehe)
Heard today another suicide bombing...another 16 killed, car bomb blowing up a bus...damn shame the UN hates Israel so much...
Can you figure out what it is?

An excellent idea - that is apparently in the making:
Israel will fence off West Bank
It's the least they can do considering noone (including the USA) will let them just ship them all back to Jordan.
