If this has already been posted I apologize. I just found it on the WND site and checked here but didn't see anything about it on the first page.

Machine-guns found on airliner
New York-bound Czech flight forced to land in Iceland

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

When a New York-bound Czech Airlines flight was diverted to land in Iceland after a bomb threat was e-mailed to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, no bomb was found – but, according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, two tons of machine-guns were discovered in the baggage hold.

The plane, which carried 174 passengers and crew, made an unscheduled landing Tuesday in Iceland, after the airline received a warning that a bomb was on board.

The threat was delivered in an e-mail to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, which passed it on to the airline in the late afternoon. The plane had just passed Iceland when it received the threat and had to turn around to land at a U.S. military airfield.

U.S. military authorities coordinated the evacuation of the plane.

''Who knows what terrorist group those were heading to in the States and what carnage we prevented from occurring in the U.S. by intercepting the delivery,'' said one U.S. military source

The threat of a bomb on the civilian airliner was heightened because of the fact that President Bush's Air Force One was flying through the same airspace over Iceland at the same time in the opposite direction on his way to England.

The 174 passengers on the Czech flight continued on to New York the next day.

This whole article is obviously a fabrication of a vast right-wing conspiracy. Everyone knows that terrorists get their weapons at gun shows :rolleyes: :barf:

Yeah, right! Like any terrorist group here is that coordinated. They are for black market sale ding dong. Terrorists aren't interested in shooting people, they want to blow them up. That seems to be the MO from at least the past 20 or so years anyway with a few exceptions thrown in.

Drat. There goes the stuff in the photo about rusty guns.

Kidding of course. No one here had anything to do with them.
 
Yeah, they've switched from guns to bombs in the last generation. I'll bet the guns were going to ordinary criminals...terrorists of a different sort.

Or maybe they were going to a "concerned citizen" who just like being prepared!
