Jihadists may have plotted terror attack from prison

Here is yet another example of prison being used as a laboratory for jihad.

ABC identifies the two men as French citizens, although it does note of Gendron that he is a convert to Islam. In not identifying them outright as Muslims, ABC is of course following standard journalistic practice, which proceeds on the assumption that jihad terror attacks are condemned by authoritative and mainstream Islam, and are a twisting and hijacking of the Islamic faith. It would be offensive to peaceful Muslims to identify these men as Muslims, we're told, despite the fact that they hatched this plot because of their understanding of Islamic texts and teachings.

Italian authorities on Tuesday delivered arrest warrants for international terrorism to two French citizens suspected of being important Al Qaeda representatives in Europe.

Dubbed the Sheik and the Engineer by the Italian press, the two men - Bassam Ayachi, 63, a Syrian-born with French citizen, and Marcel Gendron, 34, a French engineer converted to Islam - were already being held in prison in Bari, Italy on charges of organizing illegal immigration.
Investigators placed microphones inside the prison cell they shared.

According to the Italian paper La Repubblica, apparently aware that someone might try to listen, the men spoke in low voices and interrupted phrases and would turn up the volume of the TV in their cell at crucial times. Nonetheless a pool of 14 translators helped decipher the taped conversations in Arabic and French, which investigators say show the men were actively planning terrorist attacks in Europe -- with talk of "a ton of grenades" and a plane attack on Charles De Gaulle airport.

Particularly significant passages, according to Bari prosecutors' arrest warrant, obtained by Italian media:

December 14, 2008:
Ayachi: "Paris..."
Gendron: "There will be more, you have to leave"
Gendron: "We can do it"
Ayachi: "Either all or nothing, what do we do if the other fights"
Gendron: "We strike..we will do it, we will be everywhere"
Ayachi: "Of course, yes"
Gendron: "So, quick"
Ayachi: "I'll do the plane, strike the master"
Gendron: "I'll hit De Gaulle"
Ayachi: "we will hit there"
Gendron: "Let's widen up, that's all"
Ayachi: "in the evening, when there will be a lot of people"
Gendron: "I did the investigation, maybe you want to back out"
Ayachi: "This is all there is for peace"

Again, on January 25th, 2009 mention of using a plane:
A: "We will do this, it is a plane"
G: "A French plane"
A: "We will exterminate the others, I have to go exterminate them, you know of the millions of them leave, strike in the whole world"
Explosives Mentioned in Inmate Conversation
The explosives are mentioned in a conversation with another inmate:
Inmate: "don't worry, there was the other day, there, where I had gone, he offered us a ton of grenades for 5 euros a piece, at Riyadh we will go to the club, the other time you said there was no time to go to Iraq or other"
G: "did you see there, but afterwards he pays"
A: "in Paris you make money, we can explode once we have brought it, but we must make it unattainable for"

Investigators believe that these conversations and many others show the two men were actively planning future attacks....

We need to just kill all muslims. They are going to take over the world. That is their stated goal. Why will no one listen. And why do they have to kill all of us? Because it says to do that in their book, the koran, the terrorist training manual.
