They just mentioned today that UBL places mines around his camp and in the case of an impending capture would use one to martyr himself.
I believe Red alert would only be used when something actually happens. (Because it will scare the &%$# out of everyone).Depending on the type of attack, groundstops can be implemented like on 9-11, more National Guard can be deployed and whatever else is necessary. I think someone on one of these threads has listed the different scenarios for the change of alert levels.
Also heard yesterday that Mullah Omar was in a mosque when Afghan police entered, they didn't recognize him and he led them in prayer. Now, this one seems really hard to believe, but it also was discussed on Fox at the same time as the UBL story.
The most interesting aspect of these stories, if true, is that there is someone VERY close to both of these guys that is reporting either to us or to someone else that is reporting to our intelligence services. Now that they got Saddam, the intelligence and special forces hunters can move back over to UBL.
That's not going to happen until IT happens, so let's pray not.
