Thai terrorists planned to blow up Israeli Embassy
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1070001202534&p=1008596981749

Five Jama'a Islamiya members currently on trial in Thailand are accused of having planned terror attacks using explosive-laden trucks to blow up diplomatic missions in the country, including the Israeli Embassy.

According to the testimony of a local police officer, the terror attacks were planned for June 2003 – the height of the tourist season.

Egypt's largest militant group, Jama'a Islamiya commanded several thousand hard-core members at its peak. Its spiritual leader, Sheikh Umar Abd al-Rahman, was sentenced to life in the United States in January 1996 for his involvement in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

The Egyptian Government believes that Iran, Bin Ladin, and Afghan militant groups support the organization and its member signed Bin Ladin's fatwa in February 1998 calling for attacks against the United States.

All this terrorism and Israel such a tiny little innocent Democratic country.

What do you think is with people like the Thais? Did they too just flip out overnight like the Europeans?

Never mind, I'll just run over to LGF.
