Al-Qaida types here showing their traditional enthusiasm for anything positive...enthusiasm to see it turned into a fireball, though courage in convictions seems a bit low. If their target was the U.K. and the Olympics, Gibraltar would appear to have a thin linkage (though there is always the dream of restoring the Cordoba Caliphate rational). But if Gibraltar had focused their Jihadist valor, it still was apparently not enough of a motivation to put their lives on the lines. Maybe they had heard that there had been a fatwa that being a pilot of a remote controlled attack would still earn one virgins in paradise.

Oh come on....you know the backup plan was to paraglide into the mall with suicide vests on....had to be.
But, you’re right, a former Russian special ops wouldn’t be suicical.

The middle east should really have their own Olympics......with their own “sports” like suicide bombings and beheadings.
