U.S. officials said there was specific, corroborated intelligence that Al Qaeda may soon attempt to pull off a coordinated attack in multiple places to cause mass casualties -- an attack that authorities said might eclipse that of Sept. 11, 2001

I think the most likely scenario is multiple, similtaneous suicide bombings at malls, sports stadiums and other crowded places across the country

Suicide bombings could be part of it, but they wouldn't "eclipse" the 9-11 attacks.

I think they are concerned about something much more massive.

I agree. What worries me a little is the low yield of the typical suicide bombing compared to 9-11. 9-11 was 3000 or so lives, a very successful suicide bombing claims maybe 30-50 victims lives. So you'd either have to have hundreds of such attacks coordinated at the same time...

...or they really do have nukes in their possession, in the US, and ready to go.

Hey now, let me enjoy an upcoming bowl game w/o thinking about that (LOL).

To be honest, it has crossed my mind. But if I alter my plans or stay home, the terrorists win.
