One thing we should be grateful for is that apparently Al Qaeda wasted their best and brightest on 9/11/01, because ever since then they've tried to attack us with incompetent nincompoops - the shoe bomber, the underwear bomber, the Time Square bomber (who couldn't make gasoline explode), etc. This latest attack seems like it was carried out by the Three Stooges.

The first ever attack by the newly-announced Indian Subcontinent branch of Al Qaeda went really, really poorly. The attack launched last Saturday In Pakistan seems to have targeted the wrong ship.

Fighters of the Islamic terror group branch that was unveiled two weeks ago had planned to storm an American aircraft carrier at a Karachi port, but found a Pakistani Navy ship in its place, The Telegraph reports. The attackers suffered heavy casualties as the Pakistani Navy easily overpowered their attempt. Three of the Al Qaeda fighters were killed and seven were arrested according to Pakistani officials. Two Pakistani Naval guards were wounded.

"It was a complete failure, they did not do any kind of damage, some were captured and we caught more, seven so far and may be more to come. They were well-equipped and came with the intention of taking a ship into their custody but they were caught in the initial stages," an investigation source told The Telegraph.

Do they not think this would have been the same outcome had they stormed the American Carrier

They thought they would seize an American aircraft carrier with a handful of men? Somewhere Mohammad has palm to forehead.

Wait

So their initial plan was to commandeer a United States aircraft carrier?

The fact that these guys couldn't tell the difference between a Pakistani frigate and an American aircraft carrier tells me that they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

Outmatched by the Pakistani Navy?



They would've had worse results had the Americans actually been there.
