IIIII 2 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Just watching BBC World and they were going on about some threat to Japan by Al Quaida. Can't find anything on the web, whats all that about then? Link to post Share on other sites
IceEiji 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 TOKYO — Suicide bombers may stage attacks in the heart of Tokyo, according to an email warning sent to a London-based, Arabic language newspaper by a group associated with al-Qaida, according to French public radio. The warning was contained in a communique emailed to the daily Al-Quds Al-Arabi, in which the group, the Brigades of the Martyr Abu Hafz al-Masri, also claimed responsibility for the car bomb attacks that killed 23 people and wounded more than 300 at two Istanbul synagogues Saturday.

Ocean11 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 It was only a matter of time... Japan needs to think about approaches to NK that don't involve the US so that they won't have to hang onto the filthy tail of some mad dog like Bush and get caught up in ME violence. And some of their non-petroleum fuel vehicle technology might help ease their oil dependency. As a 'Japanese taxpayer', I feel like planting bombs in Tokyo too. I can't see that it would be very hard... Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Didn't you have a stock of WMD with you hidden back there in Nagano, Ocean11? Take them with you? Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Great. Thanks to that choice of words, this forum is now under full surveillance by AEGIS. Only a matter of time until the black choppers get here, folks, only a matter of time. Do you think we can convince them to take us heliskiing? Link to post Share on other sites
Siren 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Ocean, the Embassy of the Great Evil Empire is in 神谷町/虎ノ門 area. Don't confuse that with 成城 where I live and 渋谷/池袋 where I hang out please. Bad, what is AEGIS? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I'm sorry people of Tokyo, but my WMD are of the type generally known as 'crude'. I will input some addresses to be avoided in the guidance system, but I must advise that my family hasn't yet reached the 'surgical' or 'pinpoint' level of development yet. (One of the main reasons we came down here, besides muvver-in-law being nearby, is that the Ito family two houses down are known in the home-WMD community for their relatively advanced delivery technologies.)

Siren 0 Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 Oh god, this is really killing me. Thanks Ocean but if they are crude, I'd rather you don't imput the addresses. That usually only confuses them (i.e. instead of 'Don't Go There' they think 'Go There'!). Link to post Share on other sites

alferg 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 I dont believe any of this paranoid-delusional rubbish. Its sickening. We get the same bollocks news stories here in Oz. There are much more important issues at stake, but these stories are designed to distract us from the important stuff, like the environment, the evils of capitalism, etc.... The Western world is guilty of all sorts of terrorist activities, but its all unreported so we get away with it...So we probably deserve to cop a bit of terrorism in retaliation! I've been reading lots of Noam Chomski lately....(cant you tell?) Its all about keeping the population in a permanent state of paranoia & fright, as this tends to make people support whatever the government wants to do, & it also makes us consume more, encouraging further economic growth... dont listen to them, people! be happy, perform random acts of kindness, consume less, & vote green.

Ocean11 0 Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Aegis is a fancy radar system for ships. It's very good at misidentifying and neutralizing Iranian passenger planes. If the Ito's missile technology doesn't perform as anticipated (and there were some odd corkscrew trails in the sky yesterday afternoon...), we'll be looking at using trained dolphins as delivery systems. Aegis is programmed to ignore dophins, even if they happen to have home-WMD strapped to them. eeee-eeeee-click-click - KaBOOOM! Link to post Share on other sites
