Fearmongering exposed. No UPS planes take off or land in Yemen.

We have all heard the story on the US news circus of BS

"Bombs on UPS planes from Yemen"

Well here is what Yemen officials have to say.





Yemen says UPS planes never take off or land in it

[30/October/2010]

SANA'A, Oct. 30 (Saba) – No UPS cargo planes left Yemen to other countries in the last days and there are no direct flights from Yemen to the United Kingdom or the United States, a Yemeni official said, after allegations that British and U.S. officials had found suspicious packages on planes that originated in Yemen.

The official wondered how the media mentioned the name of Yemen reporting that an explosive device was found onboard a cargo plane that landed in London coming from Yemen.

UPS planes never land or take off in Yemen, the official made clear.

The security measures at Yemeni airports are tightened and the authorities search passengers and luggage well, the official said, adding that Yemen has recently installed modern checking systems that can detect dangerous or suspicious materials to the safety of passengers and planes.

We urge the media not to make hasty judgments about sensitive issues and the media should wait until investigations reveal the truth, the official said, as he pointed out that Yemen has launched an investigation into the allegations and planned to coordinate with the United Arab Emirates, Britain and the U.S. over the issue.

Yemen is determined to continue the war on terror in cooperation with the international community until it roots out all terrorists who pose threat to all, the official concluded.

The Yemeni Government has also made it very clear,in regards to the U.S.>"Stay out of this, until we have concluded our investigation"
Good advice, that needs to be heeded.

President Barack Obama has said initial examinations of two suspicious packages bound for the US show they appeared to have contained explosive materials.

Fox and CNN both said on TV early on during this that UPS DOES NOT OPERATE in Yemen. Frieght forwarders in Yemen aggregate pacakages & cargo, and, as saod by someone else, UPS packages are transferred at the first county the flight stops in that has a UPS sort.

Your story is sort of a "so what" moment. Who are you defending or accusing?

Nope.
Peter King (R-NY) ranking member of Homeland Security, said Prez Obama handled it perfectly. Bush would have effed it up.

So are you saying that since Obama agrees with it, there is no fearmongering as Rich seems to be implying or not?
