-Caveat Lector- The ONION (www.theonion.com) is a humorous, satrical newspaper, the front part of which is a compilation of joke stories. It originally came out of Madison, Wisconsin, but is now distributed in Chicago among other places. While going thru some old papers, I came across the September 14, 2000 issue. A front page story read as follows:
Terrorist Extremely Annoyed by Delayed Flight Chicago--His flight from O'Hare to LaGuardia delayed more than six hours, Hamas militant and would-be suicide bomber Nidal Hanani vowed never again to fly United Airlines. "I do not have time for this," said Hanani, seated at a Burger King in Concourse C, a plastic-explosives-filled duffel bag at his feet. "My jihad against the West was supposed to be carried out shortly after takeoff at 8:35 this morning. It is now 2:50 p.m.. How much longer must I sit around this airport like an idiot before God's will is done?"..... .....One problem Hanani has not encountered is interference from O'Hare security. When Flight 225 finally does take off, the fundamentalist's bomb, disguised as a piece of geological research equipment, is expected to kill all 300-plus passengers and crew members. "I was afraid they would tell me that my bag is too big to be carry-on and that I must check it," Hanani said. "The detonator signal does not work if the bag is underneath plane. Fortunately, I was able to take as carry-on. Praise God."...... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not posting this because I think the story is funny. In light of what occurred, this piece is just too strange. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
