JohnM, Which gives it less than a 20% chance of having any truth to it. ABC News just listed Drudge as 37.8% accurate :-) John

LOL, John....Most of Drudge's links, actually link to another media source...Like the NYT, CT, LAT, WPo Bloomberg, The Nation, NRO, etc.... Are you saying these are only 20% correct? Very few of them are things he is chasing himself. You can see for yourself in his search sites.

Here's a couple of links from Bloomberg, and The Australian....(Drudge had links to one of these.....but note they were via France...) Al-Qaeda Sought to Bomb Panama Canal, Honduran Security Says quote.bloomberg.com June 30 (Bloomberg) -- The al-Qaeda terrorist network plotted to bomb the Panama Canal, one of the world's most important shipping routes, Agence France-Presse reported, citing Leonel Sauceda, a spokesman for the Honduran security ministry. Sauceda confirmed Security Minister Oscar Alvarez's report to local media that Adnan El Shukrijumah, or Jafar al-Tayar, a suspected al-Qaeda operative was in the Central American country late last month and ``planned to plant explosives in the Panama Canal to hamper boat traffic in the area,'' AFP said. While Alvarez didn't say when Shukrijumah entered or left the country, or when he passed through it, Sauceda said the suspect was in Honduras on May 27, AFP said. The Panama Canal Authority says at least 35 ships pass through the canal daily, and more than 60 percent of that cargo originates in ports on the East Coast of the U.S. The U.S. last month said Shukrijumah is a trained pilot and may be trying to use trucks as weapons. The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation said Shukrijumah has a driver's license with a Miramar, Florida, address and may try to enter the U.S. with a passport from Guyana, Saudi Arabia, Canada, or Trinidad.

Leonel Sauceda confirmed Security Minister Oscar Alvarez's comments to local media that the 38-year-old suspect - identified as Adnan Guishar El Shukrijumah, or Jafar al-Tayar, who was in Honduras late last month - "planned to plant explosives in the Panama Canal to hamper boat traffic in the area." Mr Alvarez's remarks were published in the daily La Tribuna today, along with four photos of the suspect. International intelligence officials have offered a $US5 million ($7.25 million) reward for information leading to his capture. Mr Alvarez did not say when Mr Shukrijumah entered or left the country, nor through which country he had travelled. But Sauceda said he was in Honduras on May 27. Mr Shukrijumah holds passports from Trinidad and Tobago, Canada and Guyana, according to the authorities.
