Are Terrorists Plotting New Attacks On US and Europe?
National Terror Alert Response Center ^ | Sept 18, 2008 | National Terro Alert Center

Posted on 09/21/2008 9:10:55 PM PDT by do the dhue

UPDATE: There’s 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 Qaeda’s 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.

Source

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.

If they pull something before the election, I think it would put McCain in Office. I am guessing that is why they would wait until after the election.

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!”.

My advice: Don't Mess With TEXAS!!

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

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 ?

Are Terrorists Plotting New Attacks On US and Europe?

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.

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.

I want a secure border. A secure border will not deter one terrorist nor thwart one attack. Don't conflate the issues, they are both too important.

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. They’ve 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!

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.

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.

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.

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 !
