1. An attempted last gasp
Vlad   (07.17.12)
Many of you may not know this, but among the things taken from Bin Laden's compound by US Navy SEALs were diary entries and orders by Bin Laden expressing lamentation at the fact that Al-Qaeda was dying and shrinking. It seemed even Bin Laden believed the organization ultimately has no future. We should no longer think of Al-Qaeda as a mysterious, powerful shadow organization capable of devastating attacks anywhere, anytime, but as a dying old mafia don trying to get a few last licks at his foes.
2. Al Qaeda's GPS is malfunctioning as usual...
Marco ,   Spain   (07.17.12)
The target should not be the U.S, Europe, LAF, or Lebanese Parliament Speaker. The target should be south of the Lebanese border...
3. another lie from al akhbar
lebanese patriot   (07.17.12)
al akhbar is a mouthpiece of hizballa . it is normally used as a proxy for threats , leaks , and other propaganda purposes . those mentioned in al akhbar should be careful , they may be on hizbollah hit list
4. Amazing, isn't it?
M. Mir ,   Houston US of A   (07.17.12)
Al Qaeda seems to target almost everyone but Israel.
5. #2 - proof that the Arabs' biggest enemies are...themselves
William ,   Israel   (07.17.12)
and not Israel, where they live free.
6. #4 - are you suggesting that Israel directs Al-Qaeda?
William ,   Israel   (07.17.12)
Tell that to the civilians near Gaza who have seen attacks by Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist groups, which also tried to take over Gaza itself from Hamas. Like i said to Marco - this only proves that the Arabs' biggest enemies are each other - not the West, not the Christians, and not Israel.
7. #4 And Hezbollah targets no one but ISRAEL...
(07.17.12)
8. to LEBANESE patriot,marhaba ya habibi
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN , USA   (07.17.12)
you are 100 percent correct .ALL murders and assassinations that took place in LEBANON were commited by the terrorist so called political party of hizbolshaitan[party of the devil]on behalf of the syrian and iranian terrorist regimes . they have blamed past killings on ISRAEL ,however they are indicted and accused by the international court, and their thugs are wanted in HOLLAND for trial .attempted killings have continued and now they are blaming the sunni muslims and al kaida.tomorrow they'll be blaming the pope, then the puppy......
9. #3 Alleged Lebanese Patriot
Avi ,   Israel   (07.17.12)
You are nothing but an idiot...There is no such thing called Lebanon. Youre joke of a country consists of a number of feuding sectarian bums. Druze massacre Christians and vice versa, Sunnis fight Shiites, Shiites fight each other...Those in East Beirut hate the guts of those in West Beirut, Those in the South don't like those in the North and those in the Eastern sector of the country don;t like those in the Western part... You people are weird...
10. Bin Laden's posthumous successes - thanks to Obama
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (07.17.12)
Consider. Bin Laden and Al Qaida's initial targets were the pro-Western Arab governments, like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. (Their interest in Israel is down the list.) And what's happened since the so-called "Arab Spring"? Secular or pro-Western states have gone Islamist, to a greater or lesser extent. First Tunisia, then Yemen, then Egypt, then Libya. (Bahrain was a close call.) Syria is neither broadly secular nor pro-West, but Sunni Islamists expect to win there too. What a mess!
11. #10....
Matt N ,   Wisconsin, USA   (07.18.12)
is there anything that's not obama's fault? you right wingers are a bunch of broken records.... blame Obama for this , blame obama for that. get real!!!
12. Marco from Spain
Yaron ,   USA   (07.18.12)
It has been a while since we saw your drivel and hate speech. I would welcome the ass kicking that would be doled out by the IDF on AQ. The problem is you Arabs don't know how to fight and are dominated by extremists with small minds and small....anyway you get the picture. You stay in Spain nice and comfortable. My only wish would be that you would show your face south of the Lebanese border, so we don't have to see your ugly responses on our board anymore.
13. #11
Yaron ,   USA   (07.18.12)
Sounds like a page taken out of Obama's "Blame it on George W" book to me. You left wingers are like a car driving at night with your lights off.
14. al-Zawahiri's New Base in Lebanon
ltrail ,   United States   (07.24.12)
This is very cool news! Al-Qaeda is now within easy striking distance for the IDF to target. It would be best to take out the new Al-Qaeda base sooner than later. But al-Zawahiri is a wimp and won't be anywhere near there. Sigh.
