China denies US embassy report of planned hotel attacks

BEIJING (AFP) - Chinese authorities have called a US embassy report warning claiming Islamic extremists could be planning attacks on luxury hotels in China next week a "sham" fabricated by a foreigner.

"The so-called attacks on four and five star hotels in China was a sham recently fabricated by some foreign citizen," the Public Security Ministry said in a one-line faxed statement.

The US embassy in Beijing posted a statement on its website on Wednesday saying Chinese police issued a warning that Islamic extremists could be planning to attack four and five star hotels in China over the next week.

"The Embassy has learned that Chinese police advised hotels that Islamic extremist elements could be planning to attack four and five star hotels in China sometime over the course of the next week," the statement said.

Ironic :(

Notice the single commonality: hotels.

That's how thoroughly boog-a-loo'd our intelligence community is. Another agency for the Pottery Barn Rule.

If something is too unlikely to be a coincidence, it isn't!

Probably something got mixed up along the way the info was travelling.

Or the guy tortured for this info had his last prank by replacing Jordan by China.. who knows.

But if a government says Hotels are going to be bombed and there's three bombed hotels the next day, I see a connection.
