Coincidences, surely.
All causes by global warming.
Iran wants a war and it doesn’t seem to matter who it’s with.
I’m sorry, but in this day and age I believe that’s the way it is.
Hope you learned something, France. That’s what you get for being so hostile and unwelcoming to Muslims. Maybe you should try being a little more accommodating, a little more accepting of their presence in your country. Reach out, France. Show them how much you respect and admire their ways and customs. In fact, just turn your whole country over to them. Surely, that will convince them to not blow you to smithereens.
They welcome Armageddon.
Yep. To get that 12th Imam out of the well.
Thank you for your comment about probably not suitcases, but diplomatic pouches that can be huge.
I was smelling fake news.
A half ton of explosives is a little over 450 kg. The density of pure hydrogen peroxide (the principal ingredient in TATP) has a density of 1,442.5 kg per cubic meter. So that would be 0.312 cubic meters (or more if less dense stuff) and is a little over 11 cubic feet. That is about 4 suitcases each weighing about 250 pounds.
So considering all things, maybe 8 to 10 suitcases each around 100 pounds. So that would be a large amount of suitcases in any airport.
You are correct. As a former Pouch Groch at State, I handled pouch and USPS for over eight years - probably 2-4% of routine duties. It can be lonely work boxing it up for shipment and then you take to the airport with our dip clearances to go down to the tarmac and under the belly of the plane.... and return to post.
The US Embassy provides USPS Post Office and Classified Support for State and to tenant organizations of which there can be many from the USG.
They were the country that allowed Kommanni the meanie to oust the Shaw of Iran - it is poetic justice in many ways. Their Arab Total-Elf Fina oil ventures are always underhanded dealing with dictators to get oil below market price to fund the socialism of France. If their oil deals were all at the market rate dictators could not defraud the peoples of their nation’s under the French Jack Boot. Germany and Italy were just as bad sending all matter of nuclear technology to Iran in spite of the embargo for years and year. It will take a hundred years to clean up the mess in Europe, if ever, and only if you can get the socialist cancer out of their government.
The USA can easily dispense with all diplomatic exceptions regarding Iranian “diplomatic pouches”.

You left off the s. To be fair the editor did put an extra a in there.

And you didn’t read far enough:
half a ton of TATP explosives in diplomatic packages
No description of the plane other than private so it may or may not have been commercial ...
