Al Qaeda 'planned to attack Kuwait refinery'
Kuwait City: Wed, 12 Aug 2009

Detained members of an Al Qaeda-linked group planned to attack Kuwait's Shuaiba oil refinery during the holy month of Ramadan, a security official said on Wednesday.

The group was targeting the 200,000 barrels per day refinery and the state security building, as well as a US army camp, daily newspaper Al-Anbaa reported earlier, citing unidentified sources it said were familiar with the investigation.

Kuwait said on Tuesday it had foiled a plan by a six-member Qaeda-linked cell to bomb the Arifjan US army camp and "important facilities", but gave no further details on the other potential targets.

Members of the group, led by a surgeon at one of the country's hospitals, had confessed to planning attacks aimed at pressuring the US to withdraw troops from Kuwait, the paper added.

Kuwait, the world's fourth-largest oil exporter, was the launch pad for the 2003 US-led war on Iraq to oust Saddam Hussein. The US army uses it as a logistics base to support troops in Iraq. Camp Arifjan is located in the country's south.

"The network members used Google Earth service to get photographic maps for their targets... Shuaiba refinery, Arifjan Camp and the state security building," the paper said.

Al Qaeda has waged attacks in Kuwait in recent years such as bombings of foreign housing complexes and oil sites in several Gulf states including Saudi Arabia, but a crackdown by governments in the region has succeeded in preventing fresh violence. - Reuters

Oh, I'm sure Qatar will be a target. It's just a matter of time. As far as killing their own, inshaallah, it was their time to die.

is not a joke & must be taken seriously. Qatar had so numerous refineries not to mention the population of expats working in these companies.

"But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. [...] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?

Matthew 5:44,46-47

Every time terrorism comes out, I always think of this passage of the Bible. Whatever religion you profess (or even if you don't), loving people that love you is easy, anyone can do it. Loving those who hate you... that's what makes you greater.

Brit:"terrorists haven't really caused as much mayhem as one would expect."...guess we'll have to thank some men and women in uniforms (and lots of tehm without uniforms too) for that, no?

"War is Hell". Surely Lockerbie and Khobar are the ones that probably hit closest to home for you but I have to admit that Beslan is the worst situation I can think of. What horrible evil people could do that to children? How can you compare misery, though? These were all unthinkable acts.

The reason terrorism is so insidious is because it knocks people off their regular game -- over thinking and worrying about every little thing. And yet, you can't really afford to overlook the threat of terrorism.

Sharm el-Sheikh, Lebanon, Beslan, Moscow, Lockerbie, Munich, the Achille Lauro, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Kashmir -- not to mention Palestine/Israel. That's a lot of mayhem in the last 35 years in my opinion.

What I always find strange is that apart from 9/11 , 7/7 and Mumbai, terrorists haven't really caused as much mayhem as one would expect.

They should target their own homes first... and if they survive, they should try their homes again...

There are people that will stop at nothing to promote and exacerbate the so-called "Clash of Civilizations". The more we slug away at each other, the closer they get to succeeding.
