Saudis seize 'terror' missiles
This was the top story on the BBC news this morning. They hinted that the missles might belong to Al Qaida.

Saudis seize 'terror' missiles

Saudi authorities have intensified their search for al-Qaeda suspects

Saudi authorities say they have seized a lorry-load of surface-to-air missiles destined for an unnamed terrorist group.

The consignment was intercepted last month on a desert road near the port city of Jeddah.

Police say the weapons - capable of being used to bring down aircraft - had been smuggled from Yemen.

1. Perfect timing...
...with the gas spike "investigation" and the blackout "investigation".

If my source was correct, yesterday had Spencer Abraham in front of congress being grilled about FirstEnergy, with whom he allegedly still has business dealings.

Nothing like trying to corroborate a prior terror warning by jumping up and down yelling "Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda!" and pointing to a truckload of missiles with no proof of where they came from or how they were found.

Later,
JM
