Scottish Airport used to traffic Weapons of Mass Destruction

Condoleezza Rice called for an international embargo against the delivery of weapons to any entity but the government of Lebanon. Iran and Syria were accused of supplying Hezbullah with weapons to attack Israel (although no proper evidence had yet been found). Hezbullah had been contacted by al-Qaeda but refused assistance from them.

As Lebanon continues to get pounded by the Israeli air force, the US made promises to provide medical and financial aid to Lebanon for reconstruction, but at the same time was supplying Israel with WMD to continue with the destruction of Lebanon. NICE!

How do we know this? During the weekend two American cargo planes en root to Israel (containing WMD) landed in Prestwick Airport, Scotland for refuelling. Both were refused refuelling at Shannon airport in Ireland by the Irish Government.

Norman Silvester of the Sunday Times wrote an article detailing the events perfectly:

EXCLUSIVE: BOMBSHELL
30 July 2006

SECRET documents today expose America's attempts to conceal deadly flights shipping bombs to the Middle East.

Papers obtained by Sunday Mail investigators reveal how the US tried to sneak at least one deadly cargo through Prestwick as a civilian flight.

But the innocent-looking 707 was carrying 20 lethal 120 Blue- 113 warheads, powerful enough to penetrate 20ft of concrete.

Details of the plane's dodgy flight plans make a mockery of George Bush's apology for using Prestwick.

We can also reveal:

A staggering six flights and 120 bombs will have left Prestwick for the killing fields of Lebanon by tonight.

A US military Hercules aircraft with a secret payload made an emergency landing at Prestwick after engine failure.

Irish aviation bosses refused to let the American flights use their air space.

And last night it was reported that Israel Air Force planes had also been landing at Prestwick.

It was claimed five jets use the airport as a staging post between the US and the Middle East - the most recent landing last Sunday.

It is thought the planes were en route to Israel from the massive Dover Air Base in Delaware.

Yesterday, as the civilian death toll in Lebanon and Israel rose to 623, a US 747 Atlas Air flight carrying weapons from an airbase was being fuelled in Prestwick.

A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said: "The items they are carrying are understood to be of a dangerous nature."

The flight path documents are the first proof that the planes were carrying bombs to the Israeli army for the devastating attacks that have claimed hundreds of innocent lives.

Airport officials and civil servants on both sides of the Atlantic have refused to confirm details of loads.

But the Sunday Mail found damning evidence of the cover-up in a flight plan for a Kalitta Boeing 707 from a military base in San Antonio, Texas.

There are no clues to the deadly cargo it was carrying because the flight plan bears a civilian call sign instead of a military one.

But a second document for the same plane reveals the truth - it was set for Israel and was carrying 20 laser-guided bombs with fuses.

The document lists the weight of the payload as WT LBS 88620.

The plane landed without diplomatic clearance and neither air traffic controllers nor the fire brigade knew it was carrying bombs.

Our documents show the extent of what the six planes each carried - 20 laser-guided bombs, each weighing 4400lb.





Four landed between Thursday, July 20, and Sunday, July 23, with a further one operated by US airline Atlas Air landing yesterday.

A sixth flight is due to come through Prestwick today.

The Irish Civil Aviation Authority last night confirmed they refused one plane permission use their air space when it set off from Prestwick for Israel after refuelling.

They added: "It is normal practice to use Irish airspace to travel from Prestwick. On this occasion permission was denied. I am not able to say why."

But a source added: "It wasn't a safety concern, it was a moral one."

Four of the shipments were carried on Boeing 747 200s owned by Kalitta, who are based in Michigan.

They set off from Kelly US Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, for Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv.

Their cargo - bombs known as "bunker-busters" - were destined for Israel's assault in southern Lebanon and are the heaviest explosives in the US armoury.

One air traffic controller told the Sunday Mail: "We're also worried that the fire brigade did not know that the plane landing contained such a large amount of explosives.

"If it had gone up in flames in an accident, we'd have been none the wiser. It is a terrifying thought."

We contacted Kalitta at their HQ in Ypsilanti, Michigan, but they refused to comment. The Foreign Office said: "It appears the correct procedures were not followed. We are trying to find out why."

Costing £100,000 per warhead, the bunker-buster bomb was blamed for one of the conflict's worst attacks - a blitz on Beirut on July 20 which killed dozens of civilians and wiped out four nine-storey buildings.

Yesterday, Prestwick Airport said: "The airport is obliged to allow aircraft from any CAA-registered country to land here and we routinely handle passenger, freight and military aircraft.

"We are not necessarily aware of what cargo is being carried on flights in transit nor are we obliged to find out."

Despite outrage, the Government have said US planes carrying missiles to Israel can continue to refuel in Scotland.

On Wednesday, a US airforce Hercules plane was forced into a dramatic emergency landing at Prestwick after an engine failed.

The pilot landed safely but the craft was still grounded yesterday.

The airport refused to comment on whether it was carrying bombs.
