I can't imagine that normal Brits would wish to fire a rocket into a soccer game.

The two are Palisimians, hired by the British. Time for all Western operations to simply stop hiring any Palisimians.

This attempted terrorist act by support personnel should tell J. Nappy that the pilot was right about her/TSA’a lack of oversight and searching of workers at the airport.

Terrorism stops when we nuke Medina and put Mecca on the top of the “Next Target” list.

That is a racist accusation and you should apologize immediately. Ahmed and Abdulah are loyal British citizens being set up by the evil Zionist occupiers.
