France cancels 3 flights to U.S. amid terror fears, surrenders
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/12/24/thr...vel/index.html
"WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The French government has canceled three Air France flights to Los Angeles, California, because of fears of a possible terrorist attack, the French Interior Ministry said Wednesday. "
Wonder if they're trying to make a statement, or if they're genuinely concerned?

Cowards. They claim they're only attacking the American government, yet every single one of their attacks has been aimed at the American people.

Just some things to rememner >>
The shoe bomber Richard Reed took off from Paris on that American Airlines flight a few years ago, that said i believe these flights are all Air France.
There might be a link with new plans by the French government to ban religous accessories or clothing from French state schools, one thing which has created a storm in the country is the Islamic head scarf [i can't remember the name of it] it could be a hoax or it might be a real op but either way there has been an impact.
Something that i have heard analysts commenting on is the fact that even if the security services in France and the US checked the manifest and did background checks and the aiicraft themselves that they couldn't be assured of their [the flights] safety so the intel must 've been pretty specific.

Good quotes there, I'm sure it's best if they have intelligence to do something with it.

Update >> US intelligence sources believe that Air France has been infiltrated by an Al Qaeda operative, so that means a member of the flight or ground crew and not a passenger.
Now if only i was a conspiracy theorist i'm sure i could go somewhere with that info.

It started as a usual terrorism alert level increase, but has grown into something very very serious. From my personal view, this is by far the worst terror alert situation since 9/11...
And as someone mentioned above - those talking-to-God-on-two-way-radios-terrorists are cowards. Jihad my a$$ - just leave me alone with them in a 10 by 10 feet room and they'll know what a Russian way is all about.
I would seriously get sad if something happens during the holidays. And now - breaking news - attacks on coalition forces in Baghdad...

Cancelling flights just gives them the following info:
- They have credible evidence that these flights were mentioned in conversation
- The terrosits win, scaring them from flying?
How about placing some Special Operations forces on these flightsClustered Hosting With Continuous Data Protection (CDP)
