This is just a very realistic thought I had this morning after watching a passenger plane flying over Malta preparing to land and thinking how easy it would be for someone with the intent to shoot it down out of the sky. All those Western European tourists from Germany, France, Britain and even America for example, completely oblivious to the danger of being a sitting target floating in the air for someone with a grudge against their respective countries, as they are flying into land to enjoy their holidays.
I did think that Malta is lucky in the fact that it has never had a serious air disaster.
It is very surprising that Gadaffi and his loyal Libyan regime have not hit back yet after the targeted bombing of him and his country, with Nato seeking to assassinate him, and members of his family already being killed from the airstrikes.
It has only got to be a matter of time now until the world awakes to a terrorist attack inflicted upon one of the EU Nations that have lined up against the current regime.
International security analysts have stated that the only real weapon left for Gadaffi to target those EU countries is international terrorism with him recently addressing a gathering of up to 100,000 Libyan supporters in Tripoli threatening to target Europe and bring the war to the Mediterranean, which could only mean through acts of terrorism.
What would you do in his shoes when you are sitting on billions of dollars of oil revenue, you have Christian Crusader Nations bombing your country into submission seeking your assassination, killing members of your family, and you have a global network of moslem jihad’s ideologically aligned to Al Qaeda to tap into, along with other terrorist groups like Al Shabaab from Somalia?
Not a very hard one to work out is it…especially knowing he has a history of funding acts of Islamic terror against the U.S and European Countries. This is why Nato has no alternative but to remove him forever to remove the threat to our future security, and for the rebel government to say he can stay in the country as long as he hands over power is a joke.
(Will the new Al Qaeda leadership reach out to the Gadaffi regime to build bridges to fight the Christian Crusaders together? It has been reported that Al Qaeda have been hit by the credit crunch so tapping into Gadaffi’s vast oil wealth to wage war against America and the West with is a very real possibility and suits both parties)
I hope it’s not true but I would say it’s not if a terrorist attack happens, but when and where now.
Malta is on the frontline 300 miles from Libya, is a hub for Nato’s bombing campaign although its denied, and the Maltese government has clearly positioned itself behind the EU’s actions, going as far as to hosting talks with rebel leaders from the oil city of Benghazi. I wonder what Gadaffi thinks about Malta and the current Maltese government now?
Will Malta be targeted? That’s open to speculation but based upon the facts it cannot be ruled out.
Will a passenger plane carrying Western tourists over the Med be shot down? Who knows, it’s just a thought based upon reality.
Gadaffi has a history of targeting passenger planes, like the PanAm flight over Lockerbie in Scotland that killed everyone on-board and people on the ground, so there being someone out there somewhere around the Med planning on shooting a passenger plane out of the sky as an act of retribution and to influence EU Nations political stance and will to carry on bombing Libya is a very real possibility. Added to this fact that makes this a very realistic scenario, it has been reported that Gadaffi has opened up his arms cache and handed out surface to air missiles that would be ideal for shooting down just such a passenger plane.
You have to wonder where those missiles are now and whose hands they are in.
Are they sitting in a small fishing boat floating in the Mediterranean Sea or are they already on dry land somewhere? If it is true, and Gadaffi has handed out his surface to air missiles then they are in the hands of groups hostile to the EU-US Coalition who do want to inflict serious harm to their people with passenger planes the usual preferred target of Islamic fundamentalists.
The Coalition war in the Middle East with frontlines in Iraq and Afghanistan has now also reached North Africa with Libya the new military frontline although at this stage the targeted airstrikes are classed as a humanitarian campaign. Southern Europe, home soil to several of those EU Nations that make up part of the Coalition army bombing Islamic countries and killing moslems across the Middle East and North Africa are now within spitting distance with only the Mediterranean sea and any islands in-between separating the two.
How long until something happens and the world awakes to the horror of a terrorist attack funded by Gadaffi?
He has publicly stated that he will bring the war to Europe and the Mediterranean.
Will Gadaffi or someone else aligned with him target Malta seeking to remove the political will of the Maltese to support the island being used as a Christian Crusader base in the Med, thus attempting to cut off a vital hub for operations across North Africa and the Middle East?
If Malta is targeted it will be Western tourists attacked because murdering them will be the most effective. Killing citizens from the EU-US will influence their respective countries domestic politics on the Libyan campaign and destroy Malta’s economy in the process which is built upon tourism, for their support of the campaign.
A passenger plane being shot out of the sky, or a nightclub bombing are very real possibilities based upon not only Gadaffi’s past history but also that of Al Qaeda and other groups like Al Shabaab who are also operating in this part of the world, and the fact that Gadaffi has handed out his surface to air missiles.
I should imagine there is plenty of available semtex scattered around the place for a nightclub bombing because he was supplying the IRA with the stuff for them to fight the British government with.
The long term approach for destroying Malta is thousands of African moslems from war torn countries like Somalia and the Sudan washing up on the island from Libya and eventually overwhelming the placejust like has happened to Lampedusa.
An imported Islamic militia of African mercenaries from war torn countries – All they need is the funding!
