Re post no.1417... "I predict that if they do attack in the US, it will be nothing more than a conventional bomb of some sort.. car bomb or whatever. Maybe in multiple locations. Horrible enough but I don't think they are capable of anything approaching the scale of 9/11."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Baghdad - Iraqi police have discovered an ambulance packed with 450kg of explosives and United States officials on Tuesday praised the find as an indication of the potential capabilities of the newly created force.

On Monday evening, officers noticed the ambulance driving through a crowded district in the capital, became suspicious and called for the driver to stop, said Major Hakim Razak Kadim, a district commander of the Iraqi police.


The ambulance raced away, but crashed into another vehicle and its occupants fled on foot, Kadim said.


The vehicle's occupants fled before they could be arrested, Kadim said, adding that officers were still looking for them and that it was not clear if they were linked to any particular resistance group.


US forces have trained about 40 000 Iraqi policemen and are keen to hand over some of their duties to the new force.


Police rushed to the vehicle and found the back packed with explosives, including four 155mm artillery shells.


An electrical cord ran from the front of the car to the back where the explosives were located, said Colonel Kurt Fuller of the 82nd Airborne division."
