Air France flight passengers on terrorist list?
1stCavRVN11B sent this article from Sky News about the French DGSE discovery that two passengers on the manifest of the doomed Air France flight from Brazil were on their terrorist watch list;
Soon after news of the fatal crash broke, agents working for the DGSE (Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure), the French equivalent of MI6, were dispatched to Brazil.
It was there that they established that two names on the passenger list are also on highly-classified documents listing the names of radical Muslims considered a threat to the French Republic.
A source working for the French security services told Paris weekly L’Express that the link was “highly significant”.
Agents are now trying to establish dates of birth for the two dead passengers, and family connections.
There is a possibility the name similarities are simply a “macabre coincidence”, the source added, but the revelation is still being “taken very seriously”.
I guess the terrorist world isn’t feeling the hope and change the rest of the world is feeling.

The only reason I doubt the terrorism angle is that no one has taken credit, no video taped confession showed up at a news agency, nothin’……..yet……
Well, who is surprised? Not me.
Au Contraire, I do believe the terrorist world is feeling the hope and change the rest of us are missing out on.
If I recall correctly, the plans for the original multiple airline bombings called for no claims of credit for al qaeda.

Exactly, Dan, the idea was to just have the airliners vanish, not claim credit, and let the air travel industry die. So, that there has been no claims of responsibility is not surprising. IF it was terrorism.
I heard one of the aviation industry talking heads the other day refer to the Airbus series of aircraft as the “Scarebus”, so it seems there are questions about the aircraft themselves.
