If Syria, Lebonon, Iran are fighting terrorism, who else is left? thesun.co.uk Lebanon against terrorists LEBANON yesterday pledged support for the global war on terror - and insisted it should not be targeted. The Middle Eastern state has been home to groups seen as terrorists by the US - as has its political master, Syria. But Lebanese PM Rafik al-Hariri said after talks with French leader Jacques Chirac: "The issue of Lebanon and Syria is not on the table. We are a country that has suffered from terrorism." But at the same time, I read this, jpost.com Send this article Printer friendly PFLP men indicted for plotting to bomb Tel Aviv's Azrieli towers By Margot Dudkevitch BEIT EL (September 24) - The Samaria Military Court yesterday indicted Samah Mahmoud Salim Jibril (Abu Salim) and Rami Fawzi Bin Said Katawi for planning to bomb Tel Aviv's Azrieli Center last month. The two were captured on August 7 as they entered Israel from Jordan by the Allenby Bridge after undergoing military training in Syria. According to the charge sheet, Jibril, a resident of the Beit Alma camp in Nablus, joined the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in June and met with Mohammed Jibril (Abu Ahmed), head of the PFLP in the Nablus region. Jibril trained with weapons there before he was advised to travel to Syria via Jordan with Katawi to attend a military training camp. Abu Ahmed told the two to apply for Jordanian passports in Nablus and gave them funds for the trip. Once they had received passports he told them to send photocopies of the documents to the PFLP headquarters in Damascus, where they would receive entry permits into Syria. The two set out for Jordan but returned several days later after learning that the Damascus office had yet to receive photocopies of their passports. On July 7, the charge sheet continued, the two set out again for Jordan via the Allenby Bridge and several days later continued to Syria, where they underwent intensive weapons training and were taught to use different kinds of explosives. Prior to returning to Israel, the two met with Abu Samah and revealed their plans to perpetrate terror attacks in Israel, which included firing mortar shells at an army base near Hawara. Abu Ahmed in Nablus had allegedly promised to supply the mortar shells for the attack. In addition, the two planned to plant a bomb on a dirt road built by the army near Dir Sharf and to shoot at IDF patrols. According to the charge sheet, Jibril and Katawi, who previously worked for the Crystal Company in the Azrieli building, also planned to place a car bomb in the building with the assistance of an Israeli Arab. Abu Samah in Damascus had advised them that if Israeli security personnel caught them in the midst of an operation they should blow themselves up. Before leaving Syria the two received $500 each from Abu Samah and a book of codes to give to Abu Ahmed. The two were arrested on August 7 at the Allenby Bridge, where they initially told investigators that they had been in Iraq searching for girlfriends. So which other countries support terrorism?

Why do we need proof of Bin Laden's involvement. The entire world is aware of his inflammatory remarks about "killing all American's". That is sufficient proof. The terrorists cells then would demand proof also. The US is not at war for a particular incident etc. This is a crusade against terrorism where there is not civilized law amongst them. Can you imagine what would Happen to Senator Jerrods, if he switched his allegiance in a terrorist camp. They would kill him. THE TERRORIST JUST LIVES TO KILL. So why should they expect to exercise their right of proof. I don't understand. We don't standby and build coalitions when our own soil and people are attacked. I would still give Bush and his people some time. But if the US gets embroiled with countries such as Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, France etc. dragging their feet, then tough luck for those folks. The US should go ahead with those who support them such as Russia, the UK, Spain, India, Uzbekistan, Turkey etc. These countries have give unconditional support and that should suffice
