New Threat Targets 8 U.S. Allies in Iraq

[True_Blue]

SEOUL, South Korea - A self-proclaimed "anti-American" group is threatening to launch terrorist attacks against diplomatic compounds, airlines and public transportation systems in eight countries allied with the U.S. in Iraq (news - web sites), a South Korean official said Thursday.

The group, called the "Yello-Red Overseas Organization," warned in a one-page letter sent to the South Korean Embassy in Thailand that it will launch the attacks through April 30, embassy spokesman Ryoo Jung-young told The Associated Press.

The group described itself as "anti-American" and threatened to attack diplomatic compounds, airlines and public transportation systems in South Korea (news - web sites), Japan, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Australia, Kuwait and Pakistan.

Ryoo said it was the first time South Korean authorities had heard of the group and were investigating the threat's credibility. The letter was received Wednesday.

To 'grow' anything you have to use plenty of fertilizer.

And the bushies DO spread loads of fertilizer, don't they?

7. If I was the suspicious type

I might think this was a CIA fabrication. But the name (Yello-Red Overseas Organization) and description (we are an anti-American group) seems too amateurish.
