The finger pointing will continue until they can hang it on a low level bureaucrat.
How long before there is a stoning? Im not talking about twisting one up and burning it down either.
Seems like an awfully convenient story. Not even Middle Eastern Muslims are stupid enough to let ammonium nitrate sit around in a warehouse for six years. I don't think.
I'm gonna stick with my guess that the Israelis wanted something gone and took it out.
It sure has the finger prints of the Mossad all over it. If bumbling Biden makes it to WH things such as this will not occur. Plugs will see to it that the enemies of the US will get a notice before actions can be taken. If you doubt it, just check out what he and barky did for 8 damn years.
Dropping leaflets that say "We're going to bomb you in 4 hours." Like this?
