It frightens me for several reasons:

1. The statement made earlier this year supposedly by Bin Laden where he predicts his death in 2003 in the "belly of America" or something like that.

2. Islamic prophesy predicts the return of the last Imam during a Ramadan with a double eclipse.

3. Moslems believe that "Night of Power" - the "Laillat al Qadr" - is when the fate of the world for the coming year is determined.

4. Fanatics (of all types) have a propensity to try and "help out" in the fulfillment of prophesies and predictions.

I'm just concerned that the bad guys will try and take advantage of this.

Seriously, I hope that all of this talk turns out to be just that - it's not the first time the rumor mill and threats have had me frightened and up til now I've guessed wrong. I hope I'm wrong this time too

Oh yeah and I have my tin foil hat on tonight too!

What you say makes a lot of sense.

I think OBL siad something about the "belly of the eagle", which most people took it to mean the US.

I think the terrorists will certainly be trying and I am sure they tried last year too. So you may not be wrong in your assessment, we just hope our law enforcement stays on the ball and catches the bad guys, locks them up ( or kills them) and ask questions later.

I think there was more to Padilla's connection to dirty bombs, than what the press said.
