I hope you're right... but this guy Daleel was correctly timing the attacks in Riyadh and Turkey. It kinda sucks when his rhetoric hits 24-48 prior to the event. I understand your comment and acknowledge that the events may not be linked... but the timing was remarkable.

If you predict attacks almost every day, like this moron did, you'll eventually get it right.

the car bomb story is being reported on Fox News this morning. Apparently they are checking trucks with the radiation wand.

Yeah I saw E.D. & Brian talking about it too, looks like they might be catching on finally. Nah that would be to much to hope for at this point.

Let's hope we get these guys before they can pull anything off. Y'all take care & God Bless!

Machine Guns Found on NY Bound Airliner

(snip...) When a New York-bound Czech Airlines flight was diverted to land in Iceland after a bomb threat was e-mailed to the U.S. Embassy in Prague, no bomb was found – but, according to Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin, two tons of machine-guns were discovered in the baggage hold. ....

....The threat of a bomb on the civilian airliner was heightened because of the fact that President Bush's Air Force One was flying through the same airspace over Iceland at the same time in the opposite direction on his way to England

radiation wand, geeze, I saw on Fox, about noon the film of the soldier being interviewed with the incoming blast, what grace under fire, the way he held his cool.

[jerseygirl]

I wonder, if the various threats are believed to be real,why we are still at yellow. Maybe there is a fear that people would panic if the threat level were to be raised? Or maybe, there is concern that with the type of incidents being threatened, the average person could do little.

[JustPiper]

We had an Asian removed when a loaded gun was spotted at O'Hare. He was arrested a few days ago.

[JustPiper]

Donna, can you make sense of this cryptic message?

[JustPiper]

I believe your right, why bother changing the code, at Red that would be useless since we are not the privileged with a bunker.

It may or may not be related, but this was the only thing I could come up with:

Terrorist plan to bomb Aussie school in Jakarta 
Cindy Wockner in Bali 
02jun03
FIVE months before the Bali bombing the terrorists responsible allegedly
discussed a plan to bomb the Australian International School in Jakarta.

But the plan was abandoned because members of the group were uncomfortable that
the victims would be children. 

The chilling revelation is contained in signed police statements of Imam
Samudra, the field co-ordinator of the Bali bombing. 

In one statement, Samudra tells how, in May 2002, a group, including senior
Jeemah Islamiah figure, Mukhlas, met to discuss their ongoing terror campaign
against the West. 

In the statement Samudra claims that Mukhlas then suggested the group should
commit a bombing at the Australian school in Jakarta. 

Samudra said: "At that time I didn't agree because the people who will be the
victims are school children and security." 

Samudra said this plan was shortlived and instead they talked of bombing the
Newmont gold mine on the island of Lombok. 

He claimed the meeting participants agreed with this plot and fine-tuning of
the task was handed to Dulmatin, a bombmaker. 

But several months later, at another meeting in August 2002, the bombing was
also abandoned, largely because they had discovered most of the workers at the
Newmont plant were Muslim. 

Soon after, Bali was chosen as a target. Samudra says that he was appointed by
Mukhlas to co-ordinate the planning of the Bali attack. 

He claims to have seen on the Internet information that the US was warning its
citizens not to visit the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta. 

The claims are contained in a series of Samudra's police statements, taken as
evidence in the trial of radical Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, who is charged
with treason for plotting to kill Indonesian President Megawati Sukarnoputri. 

Bashir is widely believed to be the spiritual leader of Jeemah Islamiah,
however he denies any links to the group or any links to the Bali bombing. 

Authorities have been unable to conclusively prove a Bashir link to the Kuta
attack. 

But in one statement, dated January 23 this year, Samudra says he believed
Bashir knew of the plan to bomb Bali and gave his blessing for the massacre to
Mukhlas. He also claimed that the group held a meeting at Bashir's home in
Solo, where Bashir was critical that the Batam Island bombings had been
ineffective and said they needed to concentrate more on toppling the US and its
allies. 

But last week when prosecutors brought Samudra to Jakarta to testify against
Bashir, he denied the statements, claiming he had been stripped naked and
tortured into signing the document. 

Samudra told police that after the Bali bombing, he sent an SMS message to
Mukhlas telling him the result and suggesting he watch the carnage on
television. 

Samudra's co-conspirator, the smiling Amrozi, was brought out for some sunshine
yesterday. His terrorism trial in Bali resumed late yesterday after opening
addresses were heard for Samudra. 

Amrozi, who has been dubbed the "smiling assassin" was jovial, hopping on one
foot for the cameras. 

Asked why he was so happy, Amrozi said he was "always happy" since his arrest. 

He said that Jihad or Holy War had not been defeated by the arrest of so many
members of his group. 

"Even if I am dead, Jihad is not defeated."

Jerseygirl, any news from your buddy freeperinnj?

[FairOpinion]

two tons of machine-guns were discovered in the baggage hold. ....


===

WOW!! I am sure glad they intercepted those.

[LikeLight]

Do you think these were the only machine guns? Are they that hard for a group like AQ to smuggle? (especially by sea). . . I would assume that if AQ wants it's sleepers in the U.S. armed with machine guns, they are now armed with machine guns. I see this bust as merely a window for us into possible ongoing operations.

[freeperfromnj]

Hi ladyjane - still no sign of the Yemeni fruit vendor. I thought he might be back today since Ramadan ended.

[ladyjane]

I am trying to keep in mind that there *might* be a benign explanation for his absence, e.g., he went home to visit his mother, he is on a pilgrimage, he got deported. How does NYC look otherwise? Is there an increased police or national guard presence?

[FairOpinion]

"I see this bust as merely a window for us into possible ongoing operations."

You are right. It's the cockroach theory -- if you see one, that means there are hundreds of others.

BTW I just saw this article:

CDC Urges Ricin Poisoning Awareness
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1028769/posts

They seem to dress it up, as "domestic terrorism", but we KNOW AQ was working on ricin, and they actually caught some in London, and Paris who were trying to make large quantities of ricin?

And AQ also talked about poisoning the water supply...

[jerseygirl]

Still missing...hmmm.

on a pilgrimage

True. For all we know, he could have saved up his apple money and took a trip to Mecca. Security at Penn Station seems to be the same. I heard a report on Fox early this morning that they are checking some trucks.
