Al-Qaida magazine reveals package bombing attempt
November 23rd, 2010 - 8:28 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Nov 23 (THAINDIAN NEWS) An al-Qaeda newspaper seem to mock international airport security. The magazine chronicled the way al-Qaeda planned the attempted package bombings throughout the world.
The magazine which was published in English revealed that the group spent just $4,200 in the project that they called “Operation Hemorrhage”. The magazine, Inspire touted Western countries for using billions of dollars to counter such a low budget plot.
The magazine gave details of how the plot was made. The paper said that though the plot to cause damage failed, it led to what they call “leverage” on the part of the Western countries. The plot has led to strict airport checks that have caused uproar in certain countries, particularly the United States.
Experts believe that the fact that the magazine was published in English and made widely available means that the terrorists wants to make as many people as scared as possible. They want to prove to Western countries that their securities are not enough to protect them. That though seem to be what they want because more people are getting scared of being attacked now more than ever.
It is believed that the group might be celebrating their ability to pass through the various airport securities with the bombs without being detected.
