Unbound Forum

I had eagerly been awaiting the launch of a new Islamic forum www.unbound4rum.net
I had hoped it would in some small way be abused by extremists, instead I find a love poetry section.

Clearly run by 13 year old girls.

I am gutted!

Unbound...Uninteresting

Nerve Gas attack

According to the Sunday times the police have foiled a plan by al-Qaeda to attack the House of Commons with a nerve gas.

Plans for the attack, along with the plans to attack the tube were discovered in coded emails on computers seized from suspected terrorists in Britain and Pakistan.
The emails which contained details of an attack on the House of Commons using sarin gas were decoded with the help of an informant.

Sarin gas

500 times as toxic as cyanide. It's current use is predominantly as a military chemical nerve agent. Sarin emits very toxic fumes of fluoride and phosphorus oxides when heated to decomposition or reacted with steam. At room temperature, sarin takes a liquid form, but it evaporates quickly into a gas. Sarin acts and dissipates more quickly than other nerve agents.
Death may occur within one to 10 minutes of inhalation exposure to even a small amount of sarin.

Saddam Hussein used sarin along with mustard gas on the Kurds in northern Iraq during Anfal and in 1988 in Halabja.
There are also reports that al-Qaeda have tried to make chemical weapons, including sarin and VX.

Taliban kill 4 US soldiers

A bomb in southern Afghanistan has killed four US soldiers and wounded three others early this morning.
The explosion occured as the soldiers were patrolling in the Daychopan district of Zabul.

As the three soldiers were trying to pull their dead comrades from their Humvee a second device exploded.
Abdul Latif Hakimi claimed the attack was carried out by Taliban fighters.

Taliban fighters?....Shouldn't that be Taliban leave bomb and hide somewhere far awayers.

Oh, and two US embassy Officals were also slightly hurt in another attack in Kabul.....One had minor chaffing and the other had his shirt ruffled.
So bad luck morons, I fart in your general direction.
