A jet bound for Tel Aviv and an Israeli owned hotel in Kenya were both targets of terrorist attacks today. The jet, mainly filled with Israeli passengers, was fired upon with a ground-to-air missile launched from a handheld weapon. The little known 'Army of Palestine' have owned up to both occurances.
And that's where you'd expect the story to end.
However, despite the so called 'Army of Palestine' being the most obvious link (especially since they claim without reservation to have committed both acts) the British and US governments, along with their respective medias, reckon their claims are bollocks and that both attacks were carried out by the Al Queada network.
Why in God's name? Well...and I have to admit that I might be being a bit cynical here...probably because it would cost too much to produce another twelve months of spin establishing Iraq with the Army of Palestine thus giving America and Britain an excuse to bomb the crap out of it. Osama bin Laden, the World Trade Centre disaster, Iraq...they're all now permanently grouped under the same heading in the average dickwit's brain thanks to many long hours of media brainwashing. Then these upstart little farts from Palestine muscle in on the act! I wonder how pissed off they are that not only did their missiles fall wide of the mark but now Al Queada, without even trying, are getting the credit for all their hard work.
Other news, and Charlotte Church, the seventeen year old chubby Welsh diva, has thrown a tantrum at the airport because her mother, apparently, doesn't like her new boyfriend. Exactly how this constitutes news is as much a mystery to me as it probably is to you. Poor little rich girl, famous and rolling in lolly by the age of twelve, having boyfriend troubles...excuse me while I wipe away a tear and light a candle for her troubles.
If he'd been belting her round the face and neck with a shovel that might have been interesting.
