UPDATE: Theres been a number of rumors over the past several months that terrorists may use the lull between the election and the new President entering office to launch an attack either on US soil or against US interests.
In course with a number of al Qaedas manifests of targeting the west, the current financial crisis may instigate attacks that will target some aspect of financial importance whether it be maritime shipping lines, any one of the world-wide stock exchanges, physical financial institutions, energy sources (oil) or other infrastructure.
TAM-C analysts have picked up chatter on jihadi websites in both western and Arab countries, about their contentment that western financial stability is compromised.

According to the website HomelandSecurityUS.com, Islamic terrorist operatives may be dispatched, in place, and ready to execute a terror operation inside the U.S. and/or Europe
The article cites a disturbing communication discovered on a high level Arabic language forum. The post apparently suggests that some type of terrorist operation is now underway, targeting sites within the U.S. and Europe.
According to the website, information developed within the last 24 hours by a deep-cover intelligence operative, Islamic terrorists have been dispatched and may be in place, preparing to execute unspecified terrorist attacks.

//Are Terrorists Plotting New Attacks On US and Europe?//
Do Bears c*** in the woods?
Our borders are so secure we have nothing to worry about.
Continuously.
I don't know about that, but I do know they choke against the Buccaneers.
I hope they put on some antlers as they try to sneak in to Alaska...
Amen...I expect Dubya figgers he’s already unpopular, no problem unleashing some whoop-ass on Al Qaida.
Does the sun rise in the East?
well we could nuke the middle east after sundown
I think that, and you think that, but do they think that?
I been expecting for a long time they would do a major strike in Iraq just before the election with them assuming it would demoralize us to vote for the surrender ONE

I believe old slim might have a word or two.....
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition........
That is a good point. It might work better if they attack Iraq. If they attack us here, I think it will galvanize us.
Well now...........just what would be a target in Texas they could want to hit with a WMD ?
I have to admit when I read this title I though "Well duh!" of course they are plotting. The aim is to deny them any reasonable hope of success so they never attempt to put their plans into action.
In the interview, the al Qaeda member claims that there are sleeper cells in the United States made up of Muslims of European decent and who are prepared to attack at any moment. He also claims that al Qaeda continues to seek WMD, implies that they already have them, and that Texas is in our sight!.
Yeah, of course they want to claim they have sleeper cells in the US. That's why they're called terrorists - their stock and trade is terror. It would be bad for business (their business) if we didn't believe they were here. They have to make us believe, have to try to terrorize us. Even worse for them (worse then not believing they're here) would be to believe they are here, but that they are no threat, that we can handle them. That comes from the sure and certain knowledge that they have to keep a very low profile (ie. non-operational) in order to remain secret. Or that they are already infiltrated by informants and/or agents. Or that even if they attempt and are possibly even successful in an attack, they won't succeed in terrorizing us.
In that last regard Texas would be a very poor choice for the terrorists. New Yorkers are tough, they shook off the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the towers. However, if they "mess with Texas," they (the terrorists) are going to see a whole new world of hurt. New Yorker panache is based on nothing phases them, they've seen it all. Texas is much more in-your-face. You pi$$-off a Texan, there's going to be blood spilled, probably yours.
I missed it, but Rah Rah for the Cubs!
The Space Center.
Well I guess it’s kinda there “jobs” to plan attacks. To George Bush’s credit, he’s keeping them very busy in Iraq.
If anyone is opposed to the Iraq war ask them: Who do you think we’re fighting there? The Iraqi guard?? I don’t care WHERE we’re killing terrorists as long as we’re killing them. This needs to be stressed more, we have drawn the terrorists into a pile where we can kill them.
I would think it depends on the type of WMD.
Houston is the third largest City in the US (since Katrina).
Texas has large sporting events in several cities.
Texas has oil refineries.
I would think it could be something that would affect the financial market in Texas. I am guessing that it has to be something to do with oil.

Girl...you are gonna keep me up all night in a panic....LOL!
Between the bail-out mess and now AQ...I’ll never get to sleep(grin) Can you find an article about cute puppies and kittens to post before I head to bed? LOL
From the article:
“Western intelligence has confirmed that al Qaeda does continue to seek WMD. Theyve also been public about their fears of Europeans in the al Qaeda organization carrying out attacks on the West. But the rest is just bluster.
Inactive sleeper cells in Houston that have been here since before 9/11, who have dirty bombs, and who are just waiting for the go-ahead from Osama bin Laden to kill tens of thousands of Texans? Not likely.”
WHew....this Texan is headed to bed on that paragraph praying it’s true!
See ya in the morning!
Oh we can come up with a hundred potential targets in Texas including the Menger Hotel Bar in San Antonio.....
http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/194121.php
I think this explains the validity of the threat well.....this is just more moo crap from the rag heads.
I concur. I lived in Houston for a while and it is bad form to mess with Texas.
HEAR HEAR!!
I concur!
Yep we’d turn every mosque into a pork BBQ joint overnight !
Thanks for the link.
Duh, What else would they be planning, OLD attacks?
“New Yorkers are tough, they shook off the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the towers.”
and then they quiver in fear when faced with Sarah Palin.

Just kidding ... LOL. Have faith .. God IS in charge. Sweet dreams on your pillow.
MMMMM BBQ!! My mouth is watering already....is a rack of ribs too much for a midnight snack???
I would say Air-Drop a few thousand pounds of BBQ pork and convert the heathens...but that would be a waste of perfectly good food.
Sure they are plotting new attacks.
Both the terrorist and the Democrats.
Both believe from what I hear and read that American is evil and unworthy.
Islam wants your head.
Democrats want your wallet and power over people.
NOT GOOD.
They’re coming after YOU, buddy!
And, they’re coming with enough mojo to blow your skinny ass away!
Kidding aside..
“Sleeper Cell” terrorist activity in the U.S. will unleash a response that will shock them, the world and even most Americans...
Hospitality and tolerance will be replaced by a level of hate and violence yet unwitnessed in America.
“Well now...........just what would be a target in Texas they could want to hit with a WMD ? “
Luckenbach, TX. http://www.luckenbachtexas.com/
It would seriously demoralize the C&W crowd. ;-)
I have been there, and it wouldn’t take a very big WMD...
Yup, and as much as people on FR crow about secure borders, ultimately the best defense is a good offense.
It’s harder for terrorist to set up elaborate scheme against the US when they are constantly being disrupted and killed on their home turf.
Well I’d like to see target’s like that listed instead of a thread where all list places where they could really hurt Texas and the US. No need to do the footwork on the net for these islamakazi’s !
If they hit the Big Texan in Amarillo that would destroy the beef industry !........:o)
Or Ricks in Houston !! They blow that place up then the fight is ON !......LOL !
Check out the Voter Leadership Guide.
UAV’s have IMO been the terrorists nightmare.....specially when they attached a few hellfires on em for effect !....:o)
Must be hell going through life in that baby bird feeding position waiting for death.
Heh! Thanks for the heads up - we’re moving today and I stopped watching TB-Chi with like 3 minutes in the 4th - down 10 points! You were very polite but let me say it for you: Crap! As always we’ll take the win clinging by our fingernails but I wish I’d seen the end - in fact I deleted it off our dvr to leave room for Heroes - Monday night! ;-) ;-(
Okeydokey...is a snakes ass close to the ground.
does “duh” get your attention...
Texas is in our sight!.<<<
Would that mean they are in Mexico and going to cross the border into Texas?
I will ask around some of my sources and see what the spooks are saying.
Awe...good thing to start the day with! Vaguely heard Geraldo running from grenades at JFK on Fox News while making coffee a bit ago. Headed to see if there is a thread about it. ???
these nuts will not give up we have to stop them before they get here
I “think” they’ll be disappointed if they show themselves in Texas. I could be wrong, but something tells me I’m not. :-)
