And that’s not a good sign, in case readers wonder. The initial air strikes in Syria ordered by Barack Obama included a number of targets near Aleppo that focused on the Khorasan group, chartered by so-called core al-Qaeda to refocus attacks on Western aviation in particular. US intelligence sources tell Eli Lake at the Daily Beast that the bombmakers of Khorasan had worked to develop non-metallic bombs, including clothing seeped in explosive compounds, that could pass through airport detection systems. In the weeks [see update] before the airstrikes, however, the terrorist group “went dark,” just as intelligence officials thought they were ready to go operational:
American analysts had pieced together detailed information on a pending attack from an outfit that informally called itself “the Khorasan Group” to use hard-to-detect explosives on American and European airliners.
As the Khorasan Group came closer to executing the attack, however, U.S. intelligence agencies lost track of the plotters. “We had some information on their plans that did not pan out over the summer,” one senior U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast. “They shut it down and went dark.”

The whole thing was nothing but Kabuki Theater.
Tipped off by mole.
Maybe Obama Unfriended them first.

Bombing empty buildings , maybe Bill Clinton was advising Obama
I am not buying anything Team Obama says about “imminent attack” by the Kardashians. This is all about boosting his poll numbers...but it is futile.
The media is trying oh so very hard to make BO seem like he is “commanding an international coaltion” (I heard almost EXACTLY those words in a local Miami Florida tv report....), but the truth is the truth.
The facts are that ISIS would be barely a fart in the wind if this pathetic team in DC had not retreated from Afghanistan and Iraq.
All the death and destruction wrought by ISIS happened because of the weakness of Obama. Yes, the men who are in ISIS bear responsibility, but just like Chamberlain foolishly surrendered over and over to Adolph, so did Obama to ISIS.
They were warned in advance, of course.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370
They went dark for the same reason U.S. special forces were unsuccessful in their attempt to rescue U.S. hostages. ‘Tipped off’, probably by someone inside the WH.
There was an article that said that CIA started ISIS. Why would the Military bomb empty buildings and facilities? Someone probably already told them from inside the white house. One of the 0bama advisers has a mother that is deep in the Muslim Brotherhood.
Sounds like that to me too.
No doubt they were tipped. We just scratched their roofs and took down some antenna arrays.
Time to repair: Already.
