Experts cast doubt on credibility of JFK terror plot

An alleged plot to blow up fuel tanks and pipelines at New York's JFK airport had little chance of success, according to safety experts, who have questioned whether the plot ever posed a real threat.

US authorities said Saturday they had averted an attack that could have resulted in "unfathomable damage, deaths, and destruction," and charged four alleged Islamic radicals with conspiracy to cause an explosion at the airport.

But according to the experts, it would have been next to impossible to cause an explosion in the jet fuel tanks and pipeline. Furthermore, the plotters seem to have lacked the explosives and financial backing to carry out the attack.



Besides the alleged plotters' capability, other questions have focused on the main source in the probe -- a convicted drug dealer who infiltrated the group and whose sentence was pending as part of his cooperation with police.

9. Thanks.....

another quote:

"There are people there responding to hysteria, I think. But from an engineering point of view, if someone is successful in blowing a hole into a tank, they will just have a fire from one tank."

Republican hysteria. Be afraid.......be afraid!

But they had not yet acquired a spaceship.

5. I sure hope this story hits the MSM! MANY of the Pubs referenced that plot

during their debate tonight. I'd LOVE to have the MSM discussing this overblown ficticious plot at the same time they're reviewing the Pub debate!!!!

7. And wolf used it in the Democratic debate to prove

we are safer. It sounded way too convenient to me when I heard about it. Will we hear this side of the story on the news at 11:00? I doubt it.

10. They probably surprised too many CIA cockroaches

when they turned the light on this one, and decided a different terra plot would serve their purposes better. I bet this gets shoved down the memory hole ASAP.

There was a thread on DU yesterday about Evergreen Airlines and its involvement with renditions and drug/arms dealing, but unfortunately I forgot to bookmark it.

11. Was the convicted drug dealer associated with Evergreen or

do you remember?
