Plan wasn't quite as dumb as initially reported. Apparently they intended to steal the frigate then go after the Americans with it.
PNS Zulfiqar is Chinese built general purpose frigate.
I realise that technology has made vast leaps since I was a young Hairy Bag but, 10 untrained guys stealing, then running a frigate while engaging it in combat is a streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch that even I at my advanced age couldn't believe.
Besides, if they were gonna bring on a whole Al Qaeda crew after they stole the thing could they please explain how they trained these "camel jockey's" from sand filled, land locked countries on the intricacies of operating a warship?
Bridge and Weapons trainers in the middle of the Sahara?
This story sounds more like the Al Qaeda PR Dept. trying to spin their giant fuck up into something more palatable for all the other terror organizations who, have spent the last week
at them.
