What trademarks?? Blowing stuff up? Apparently blowing stuff up is something only Al-Qaida terrorists do...
It makes me wonder how many of these attacks are actually the work of Al-Qaida, and not just some random attack by your garden variety terrorists. It's almost like we are making them out to be this huge widespread organization conducting attacks everywhere by immediately deeming any and all attacks the work of "Al-Qaida".

Multiple coordinated, almost simultaneous attacks generally with suicide bombers is an Al Qaeda trademark. Intelligence agencies from around the world agree on this. This is more than likely Al Qaeda related.

This is craziness. Our veering off to Iraq instead of consentrating on crushing al-Quaeda in Afghnistan is coming back to haunt us and our allies. It is quite obvious that they are the ones in control of the war on terror, striking wherever and whenever they please with impunity and with no body having a clue on how to stop them. What's all the scarier is that now they are attacking fellow Muslims. I hope this is proof to all those people who claim ALL of Isalm is barbaric, radicalized and against the west that they are full of sh!t. It's the Muslim moderate/liberal majority that is being targeted just as indiscriminently. I've been to Turkey once and absolutely loved it. I hope they manage to get things in control before those fvckers mess anything else up.

I don't agree. First off, just because they were co-ordinated does not mean they were Al-Qaida, and suicide bombers certainly doesn't. Here's an example. Take the IRA. Their attacks were often coordinated, and they are not Al-Qaida. Also, suicide bombing is the trademark of pretty much all Islamic terrorists in the Middle East.
IMO, we should be determining who was responsible for the attacks from the investigation that follows...not throw out minutes after it happens that it is "Al-Qaida".

Al-Qaida has reportedly claimed responsibility.
Anyone know the goal of this Group?
Do they want to be a Country?
Is Osama the Leader with Saddam 2nd in command?
Do they want to overthrow all Governments of the world and rule the world?
If that is the case, then fine. However, I think my point is till valid about doing a thorough investigation before just throwing out good ole AQ 5 minutes after something happens.
I would have thought that militant Kurds would be a high possibility, being Turkey and all. Anyone know what terrorist groups are endemic to Turkey?

You guys are missing it again. This was an operation put on by the CIA to distract attention from the protests against Bush in the UK.
You really need to get with the program. Sheesh.

Stick it up your ass, Dave. You really don't want to go down the road where you and I are critiquing each other's posts. You are quite literally one of the least intelligent people on this board, constantly ranting about things you know nothing about, predicting things that have no chance of happening and generally adding nothing to the content of this board. So if you really want to start a critiquing game I'll be more than happy to flame your felonious, ignorant, Chicken Little ass right into oblivion.
Wow, you guys really must have excelled in interpersonal relations. Can't we disagree without launching into viscious personal attacks?
Say what you want about me but that doesn't change your post about the killing of innocents and even joking about it being a U.S. sanctioned or originated event Sir.
Now maybe the moderate/liberal "majority" will get off their arses and do something about fundamentalism.
Oh, nothing wrong with fundamentalism. In the words of Sultan "they are just practicing their faith"
