Mega chemical attack foiled in Jordan

Al-Hayat: Plot to detonate charge at military installation could have killed 20,000 people, experts say. Terror cell connected to al-Qaeda mastermind Zarqawi.

 The terror cell that was apprehended last week in Jordan planned to carry out a large-scale chemical attack, Jordanian officials told the al-Hayat London-based newspaper. According to the officials, the successful prevention of the attack may have saved thousands of lives.

The report added that the terrorists planned to detonate a powerful chemical bomb at a Jordanian Military Intelligence installation. The cell also intended to use poison gas during attacks on the US embassy in Amman and a government building in the country.

Maybe one of the reasons we can't find Saddam's WMDs is because the IslamoNazis moved them to Jordan.
I never figured on Jordan, but it's as close to Iraq as Syria, Iran or Saudi Arabia.
Interesting that they would launch an attack on Jordan, too:
With his fond hopes that the "crocodile would eat him last," "King" Abdullah of Jordan has been keeping very, very quiet hoping the jihadis wouldn't notice that, although he's head of an Islamic country, he's very cosy with Western democratic governments.
