Hmmm....looks like the Syrians might just have their own islamic terror problem! hahahaha! Apparently, in revenge for the arrest of Fatah al Islam leader Shaker al-Abssi by the Syrians, al-Abssi's followers had plotted a five member suicide bombing of a Syrian soccer stadium until the plot was uncovered by the Syrians. Here's the entire story from Naharnet:
Syria Thwarts Attempt by Abssi Aides to Bomb Out Soccer StadiumYou know, it might just throw a wrench in Syrian plans of invading Lebanon and building three more nuclear weapons facilities if they find themselves in a weekly battle with terrorist groups who are blowing half the country up - boy, that would be a shame now wouldn't it?
Syrian security operatives have thwarted a suicide bombing at a soccer stadium in Damascus by aides to jailed Fatah al-Islam leader Shaker al-Abssi. The daily newspaper al-Liwaa said Saturday that the five-member terrorist cell had planned to bomb out al-Abbasiyeen soccer stadium during a major competition a month ago to avenge Abssi's arrest.The report said Syrian intelligence operatives arrested Abssi two months ago at the low-income Meliha district in southern Damascus.Intelligence operatives carried out a "major house raid in the district, which resulted in arresting Abssi," the report added. Abssi escaped an assault by the Lebanese Army on his base at the northern refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared more than a year ago and went missing. Al-Liwaa said Lebanese authorities are to officially ask Syrian authorities for information on Abssi.
