Concerning the two bombs mailed from Yemen to Chicago synagogues...?
Am I the only person scratching his head over this news story? Why would terrorists mail packaged bombs from Yemen, packages from which which would most likely be intercepted and scrutinized
and inspected, instead of sending them from a terrorist cell located in western Europe?

Actually we know that one of the two packages went on passenger flights according to qatar Airways. Left Yemeni capital(sana to doha) on Qatar Airbus A320.
It is no surprise that the terrorist are willing to kill their own people.

We don't know how these packages were labeled or if relabeled during the course of the travel. We don't know who are involved. There is said to be a list of names yet so far only one woman has been arrested and released pending court.
twenty-two-year-old female computer engineering student, Hanan al-Samawi.
The chemicals found in said packages are said to be unavailable by public without scrutiny..Personally I have not checked this theory.
What is the policy of these chemicals in W.Europe?
Side note there have been unexplained air disasters, One India Air Express (Dubai) Air France 447 to name a few..
Look at the nature of the said attacks.
We know from captured jihadist that . the.Mumbai, in which jihadists murdered 173 people the plan was of most secret as said by jihadist,I believe the connection was from Pakistan. The original information came out that Taj Mahala Palace and hotel and hospital there was the target when now we know it is has been stated by one of the captured that it was really a attack on synagogues.Also another Pakistani jihadist group Lashkar-e-Taiba said to captured jihadist involved was told that Nariman House was very important and secret. There may be even more news now days to point to a crediabilty that these attacks on Jews is a new activity or just one that has grown of importance.

It was a set up.
The US wants a free hand to do what it likes in Yemen, and the surrounding area.
As you say, why in the world would any Yemini do this, knowing it would incur the wrath of the US, without doing any damage.
As it turns out, it seems the so called devices were not even real ones,
-all the original tests said they were not bombs,
-then Obama said they were,
the appropriate pressure was put on all the people who originally found them safe, to test again,
and hey presto, they were declared to be real bombs.
It's pathetic, and transparent, but all that is needed is the public to have 2 simple memes in the mind
1.Yemen is out to get us.
2.We must deal with Yemen.
Everybody would get it if they thought for a moment about the initial thing (never mind the fake part of the story),
but people are too busy being distracted from a temporary scare.
Many saw this coming, it has became known as " The October surprise", which happens just before the mid terms,
Bush admin conjured up Biden laden threats for the 2004 and 2006 October surprise,
this is just the Obama contribution to the tradition.

IMO - they were hoping that the bombs would escape screening. Apparently one was camoflauges so well that the British authorities missed it the first time they went through the shipment on the plane because they suspected that there was a bomb on board. It was not until a second sweep that somebody noticed that the color of the toner in the printer cartriage was white instead of black.
What really gets my interest is the targetting of synagouges in Chicago. This seems to be an odd choice of targets and implies that somebody involved in the plot felt that those synagoges had enough symbolic significance to their cause to justify an attack. This implies a terror cell inside the city of Chigaco.

It seems obvious to me that the terrorists involved were hoping for one of those episodes where they hit the proverbial "jackpot," with their targets being struck and death and mayhem caused.
And make no mistake, the terrorists knew full well what their targets were, as the following article from the Wall Street Journal on October 30th notes:

It does seem odd. Jews getting packages from Islamic Arabs?
One possibility is that Obama supporters are trying to get him looking heroic just before the elections.

I wonder how many Israeli agents were involved with this fantastic scheme. What idiot would expect a package, mailed from Yemen, to be delivered, unopened, and not inspected, all the way to Chicago?
Yet they're smart enough to hit four places simultaneously on 9/11? C'mon!
