When I was searching to see if this has been posted, I came across this article from Aug. 23:

Al Qaeda Plans Underwater Attack

According to the U.S. agency charged with protecting America, Al Quaeda terrorists may be planning an attack from under water.

The Department of Homeland Security has issued a bulletin warning that terrorists may attack American ships or ports using scuba divers.

The "Swimmer Attack Indicators and Protective Measures" bulletin was issued on August 22, 2003. The bulletin advised "the maritime industry and owners and operators of maritime facilities of a number of incidents of suspicious activity and possible surveillance of maritime facilities around the U.S. over the past few months."

I think an attack from the sea and underwater attack would be consistent with their claim of "unimaginable in any normal way". Maybe they plan to detonate a nuke underwater near a harbor.

I think it's about time some JDAMs dropped in for a visit to Al Jazeera.

i think it is very irresponsible to speculate

[NTegraT]

"Attyiat-Allah said western analysts would be unable to predict when the attack could occur"

Don't know when it's going to be? Just ask Bush, he knows everything ahead of time and has the power to prevent it.

[Lunatic Fringe]

Yeah, yeah, these guys have been saying this for over 2 years.

Not that we should let our guard down at all, but I think this is the dying utterances of Al-Qaeda.

BTTT! Would you post the other frightening find of yours?

[dighton]

Yet another for the collection.

[bulldogs]

Scuba divers. LOL. They would all get the bends. It would require a lot of time underwater to sabotage a harbor or a vessel.

[txhurl]

bttt!

Underwater? We can certainly imagine targetting ships...they've done that before. Maybe they're going to try to create a tidal wave.

And more -- from 2002! I think the previous post of May is actualy from 2002, not from 2003.

MIAMI – Federal agents have been visiting and calling dive shops in the Florida Keys asking them to report anybody who might be trying to learn how to scuba dive to carry out a terrorist attack, the FBI said Tuesday.
"It's mostly to educate and inform the dive shops," FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said. "They're told to call the FBI about anything that's suspicious."

===

And we have to remember that AQ terrorists were running around trying to learn to fly a couple years before 9-11. So for the past couple of years they have been learning to dive...

Middle East Gonna Be a BIG BIG POTHOLE !!!!

[thegreatbeast]

This fellow Louis Attyiat-Allah needs to spend some serious time with some Bulgarian or Pakistani interrogators until he has put EVERYTHING he knows to music. But the bald fact is that UBL has been dead for two years now and, while this guy's Aunt Milly could do outrageous damage to the American people and American property, we have been kicking Al Qaeda ass all over the world for a couple of years now. Sure, they still have some players but they can't in any way be compared to what they once had been. F* Louis Attyiat-Allah!

I am so sick of hearing the threats from these cowards who have hide in caves and holes, while they plot ways to kill thousands of innocent civilians.

We can only pray that Bush is reelected so we can continue hunting down these snakes for 4 more years.

[JasonC]

What prancing ninnies. What gasbags. Will they clean their noses in our direction? Will they taunt us a second time if we don't submit? Earth to raghead nutjobs - we aren't scared of you. You couldn't make an omelette without western instructions. You've never met a real soldier you wouldn't give both hands to for the plastic twistie tie. All you can do it splash your innards over women and children. It is all said innards are good for.

FYI

[DCPatriot]

IMO, this is a load of cr*p.

First of all, this character should be tortured until he talks. Secondly, I would display digits from Saddam himself for every American soldier that is killed henceforth. Then his ears, arms and legs.

As President Bush stated, "War is what they declared and war is what they got".

Gee al Queada, is it THAT TIME OF THE MONTH already??
