As someone above suggested, maybe its symbolic for water supply? I dont know Niagra well enough to have a valuable opinion really. But it seems like a less desirable target to me.
Casino Niagra could be an inviting target for a truck bomb. True, it's on the Canadian side but is very popular with Americans due to the favorable exchange rate and lack of witholding tax on winnings. Besides, Canada was declared a target by Bin Laden due to our (ongoing and substantial) involvement in Afghanistan. I don't think these jackals really care who they kill in the end.
There's the Mohawk power generating station. Knock that puppy out and you have a major disruption of the whole NE power grid that could make the recent blackout look like a picnic, and don't forget that it's cold up here this time of year, unlike during the balckout where the weather was quite pleasant.
The other possibility is that instead of being about Niagra it could be a signal to a cell based in the area to execute a previously planned attack. I would hope U.S. and Canadian authorities are watching the border crossings very closely (and the two forces can and do communicate in real time).
Another option is that the image of the falls is symbolic of something else entirely. One of the messages reported on during the whole "get out of NYC/LA/Washington" period cryptically kept referring to "the water, the water." In this case the visual of the picture could be seen as matching the text of the message. Water could of course refer to ports, coastal cities, whatever.
Keep in mind that the dead terrorist referred to in the most recent Bin Laden tape lived in St. Catherines, Ontario for a time, and St. Catherines is a stone's throw from Niagra. Where there's one cockroach there's likely to be more if you look hard enough.
LOL!!! Production was wrapped up on the Al Qaeda "Jackass" video in Tora Bora in December 2001. They're still looking for distributors. From the Al Qaeda promotional materials:
Volume one of the Al Qaeda Jackass series contains a random, haggard selection of segments and bits that occured during our crappy little jihad. Remarkable moments in this half-ass collection include AQ members flying through the air, UBL laying in a trench while thousands of maggots cover his body, and a bunch of other absurd stunts, pranks and queer misbehavior from our bumbling cast and crew of idiots.
While we should laugh at the fear they want to cause us, we should moderate that with the fact that we are still a target, albeit a harder one.
Ill buy one. Have they upgraded to DVD yet?
They'll still get some hits in, but it's over.
We overwhelmed them. We have more money, more men, more time, more technology, and better ideas. Bush didn't cower when the liberal media showed blood. The American people didn't fold. And the bluff was called. They've lost. The terrorists might not understand it's over, but freedom's players are counting chips.
He's dead. He's not running an "army" from the underground. He's roasting in the pits of Hell while his corpse is now food for maggots and worms.
Terrorists are independent operators and therefore there is no agenda gain for the journalists in taking them out.
