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.

Do you know anything about Louis Attyiat-Allah other than what is said in this article? Just curious. Thanks.

Apparently the ragheads don't know that we have trained dolphins AND Navy SEALS.

Excerpt.....

This is what al-Qaeda, with its revamped leadership structure, is counting on. While the US Homeland Security Department argues about how many screening machines to install at airports, terrorists are planning how to convert supertankers carrying liquefied petroleum gas or other chemicals into floating bombs - or perhaps even dirty bombs with help from a rogue nation with nuclear knowhow.

Data compiled by Aegis Defence Services, a UK security consultancy, provides worrying evidence of this. In March, for example, pirates boarded a chemical tanker, the Dewi Madrim, near Sabah in the south Pacific for several hours. Their intention was not to ransom the crew or offload its cargo, as south-east Asia's pirates usually do, but simply to learn how to steer it at varying speeds. And in the past few months, 10 tugboats have been reported missing, each of which could be used for close-in manoeuvring of a disabled tanker, hijacked just before entering a big port (at Singapore, say) and just before being set ablaze.

Other dangers to maritime interests are also becoming apparent. In June, for example, an offshore maintenance engineer with deep-sea diving skills, who had been kidnapped in 2000, was released by Abu Sayyaf. He reported that his captors had wanted to learn how to dive, but were not interested in learning how to resurface.

What nukes? Whose nukes? These guys don't have nuclear bombs. And if they did, detonating one underwater near a harbor would hardly be the easiest and deadliest course of action. Are you referring to a "dirty bomb?" How much damage could that do underwater?

IMO there is only a series of events where such an Unimaginable Attack(s) could change the balance of power as the Al-Qaeda Pisslamic Idiot errr Ideologist suggests.............

You know, every time these guys renew their sabre rattlin', I can not help but recall that one eposode of the Rockford Files, when, after discovering that the Feds have once again locked him in a room for one of their "talks", he tells the Agent "Has it ever dawned on you that one of these days I might just go tapioca and toss you out the window?"...

I just finished reading this news story before I saw the article you posted. Here's the summary: A middle eastern looking man who spoke broken english was taking photos on the grounds of a BASF chemical plant in Freeport, TX. When challenged by a security guard, the middle eastern picture taker shot the guard and fled. The plant has a large amonia tank. I'm not sure exactly where Freeport is in relation to Houston, but I've seen rental units in Freeport for the Super Bowl advertised as a 30 minute drive to the stadium.

I am sorry, but the word "swimmers" started my imagination going along the lines of "swimmer" Kennedy.

Maybe they'll just send out 100,000 young men in Oldsmobiles to pick up young infidel women and drive them off bridges.

No, that can be imagined, so it is not likely.
