U.S. embassy terror plot uncovered

(CNN) -- Authorities in Azerbaijan recently uncovered a radical Islamic terror plot against the U.S. Embassy in the capital, Baku, prompting the facility to close its doors to the public Monday, Azerbaijan and U.S. officials told CNN.

As a precaution, Britain also shut its embassy in Baku to the public on Monday "following security concerns nearby," Britain's Foreign Office said.

The terror plot was unraveled after a weekend raid outside Baku that netted several suspected members of the radical group, two U.S. officials who asked not to be identified and a spokesman for Azerbaijan's National Security Ministry told CNN.

U.S. State Department spokesman Sean McCormack stressed that the details "are still unfolding," and the threat "may or may not be" linked to the Saturday raid.

"There were some specific and credible threat information concerning the embassy and plans by militants to in some way do harm to individuals in and around the U.S. Embassy there," McCormack said, noting that no specific individuals were targeted.

Several days ago, an Azerbaijani army officer who had connections to a radical Islamic group seized four assault rifles, a machine gun and 20 hand grenades from his military unit and hid them in the outskirts of Baku, the ministry spokesman and U.S. officials said.

Government security forces tracked down the group and arrested several members during a sweep on Saturday in the village of Mastaga, about 20 miles (32 km) northeast of Baku, the spokesman said.

LOL, of course, another "terror plot" gets uncovered. Yeah... right. Thanks for the post, though. More evidence to me that this whole "war on terror" is just leverage to push political agendas. I'm convinced that these "terror plots" that are uncovered every so often are staged, to reassure people that the "enemy is real."

I know you'll disagree with me, P4B. Oh well.

It's even stranger to think about how our government talks about terrorist sleeper cells here in America, and Stalin did the same thing . But I guess democracy isn't being thwarted! But this isn't the conspiracy forum, so I'll stop here.

I Mean seriously Every DAY some one Blows them self up over there. If there were really Extreamists running around, would we not see Car bombing and what knot In the USA? Who is telling the sucide bombers to not blow them self up and wait for a big plained thing?

Torog and P4b why don't we see Car Bombing here in the US if these people really hate USA's Freedom? Don't tell me that Bush is keeping us Safe because that Bogas, look how open our boarders are. Big puppet show if you ask me.

When it is reported that an attack was squashed, the left just calls it propoganda anyways.

Like I stated, when something on this order is discovered people just state something on the order of mfqr.

Just glad to see that they stopped it before it happened.

Have a good one!:s4:
