On the day that almost two dozen U.S. embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East are closed following the identification of a significant threat from an al-Qaeda affiliate, a senior U.S. official is providing new details about the communications intercepted from the terrorists, telling ABC News that al-Qaeda operatives could be heard talking about an upcoming attack. The official described the terrorists as saying the planned attack is “going to be big” and “strategically significant.” “The part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty,” the official said, adding that the group — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula — appeared to have a media plan for after the attack.
If wishes were fishes, the dishes would be washed...
Well, maybe “5” is a possible after all. It appears AQ has developed an explosive the TSA can’t detect:
So, we collect data by the terabyte on our own citizens, but don’t have anyone figuring out in advance what explosive agents might get past TSA’s scanners. Simple freaking chemistry... If I allow myself to roll my eyes, my optic nerves may snap...
Move strategic sig.
For great justice.
It happened a week ago and it was Detroit
It caused $7.25 in damage
That has been my opinion too. Must keep that spying up because we averted this big attack.
Maybe just a coincidence, but while traveling Saturday, I could not get the cell phone or vehicle GPS to come up, worked on Sunday on the trip back.
Must be global warming!!!!!! :)
