Al-Quaeda Blamed On Wildfires

SAN DIEGO, CA - As the wildfires blaze throughout southern California, locals are left with one question on their minds: How could this have happened to relate to the War on Terror?

"It is clear to us in fighting these wildfires, that there is a link to the origins of Al-Quaeda in the way the fires sprang up," said local fire captain Gary Huntbold. "We can only assume there is a link."

Al-Quaeda was formed in 1988 by Osama Bin Laden and other radical extremist Arabs after the Soviet war in Afghanistan, well before the current fires raging in San Diego, but not before fires raged along California. In 1988, the very same year Al-Quada was formed, a fire in Yellowstone national park burned more than 150,000 acres, sparking what some believe to be more than just dry brush, but perhaps anti-American sentiment as well.

While the wildfires have been remarkably silent in claiming responsibility for Al-Quaeda, it is clear that there is a strong correlation that cannot be overlooked.

"It is not by accident that you get 17 or 18 wildfires occurring while there are major terrorist activities occurring 7723 miles away," said Barry Sulzberger, general president of the International Association of Firefighters. "There is no question you can get copycat fires out there trying to create more terrorist groups in their wake."
