The Command Post - Iraq - "PLF faction's bomb-making facility," Part 2

"PLF faction's bomb-making facility," Part 2

My earlier post described a supposed Palestine Liberation Front complex: "Bomb-making facilities, chemicals, mortars, gas masks and AK-47s were found inside the 20-building complex to the east of Baghdad..."

The L.A. Times has no new information, but it does provide a source:

Marines said they had found what they said were links between Iraq and terror groups as they probed the city's outskirts... Capt. Aaron Robertson, the intelligence officer of the 2nd Battalion, 23rd Regiment, said his unit had come across what he said appeared to be a training camp used by the Palestinian Liberation Front and documents indicating that Iraq had sold weapons to the Palestinians as late as January... There was no independent confirmation of his assertion.

Comments

This update was provided because of the following comment from the earlier post:

"How is it that this news item has not come up in any other webpages?

I've been searching drastically to find verification of this news story on anyother website other than ptd.net.

AFP, the news agency that the page credits the story to, does not have this story on other websites.

I would like to be shown a confirmation of this story.

I happen to like Command-Post a good deal, and I am starting to doubt your credibility.

I would ask you to please satisfy my curiousity and find this piece of news on a major media outlet, or even AFP's website on Yahoo.com.

Otherwise, I would think that a very clever zionist hoodwinked you."

More updates as they become available.

Isn't it interesting that the liberals deny any link between Iraq and terrorism but when you cite the connection between Iraq and the Palestinian terror apparatus, including the overt payment to suicide families, they don't even blink an eye.

Why is that? Could it be because terrorism against Jews is not really terrorism in their eyes?

Asswits..

I think you're right: This is just one more jewish homosexual socialist "red herring" meant to pit aryan against aryan.

don't fret over it, lonewacko. Next time tell him to do his own damn research, unless he wants to pay you for your time. Even after your posting of a second source, he will probably find a way to rationalize the story away.

Bill = Trolltwit ?

Hrm, no link between Saddam and M.E. terrorism eh? Well there was the Al Queda related organisation that controlled an entire area in the North and a PLF bomb-making complex. What next will they find a few of Interpol's top 20 surendering to the Allied forces? Or maybe a few ETA terrorists or even FARC guys?

Can't wait to the anti-war left's attempt to get out from under this one.

I think (I hope) that Bill was being sarcastic.
