They are coming in further east than the flights after New Year. Those came in west of Maine over New Hampshire. Could be weather related.

its because they don't know who they are. they don't know who they are by either name or via facial recognition. the only way to catch them would be to conduct searches of passengers after they board to find the explosives (and that's not going to happen, because it would involve body cavity searches), or allow the plane to take off and have marshalls try and figure out what is happening. would you want to take that chance? how are the marshalls supposed to figure out which woman entering the lavatory is the body cavity bomber?

so, the only thing they are left with, is cancelling the flights.

A new message (#12 below) posted to the Daleel Yahoo! group this morning. Could this be (yet again) the 'big silence' before the major event. Yawn!!! There were some zip files uploaded to the group on Wednesday. "Move along, nothing to see here."

what's this one?

[WestCoastGal]

Here is BA 026 Paris to Dulles IAD.

[oceanview]

how are they going to get a dirty bomb on board a plane without tripping a sensor? lead lined carry ons, which they then assemble in the lavatory?

[WestCoastGal]

Oops I made a mistake this is Air France 026 isn't that odd that this morning they said this was a BA flight. Going back to check.

31 January 2004-- A confluence of information and events appear to be making the next 72 hours perhaps the most critical time for terrorist attacks in the US since the attacks of September 11th, 2001. The next 72 hours is the IMMEDIATE window of concern, although our short-term concern extends through the end of the Islamic year 1424 (February 21st, 2004). In order to fully comprehend the nature of the threat against and within the US, it is important to look at what is currently taking place in Saudi Arabia, as events are likely to begin with the attack and planned toppling of that fragile regime unless thwarted by Saudi forces. Details to Saudi situation here. We have previously reported in detail that it is the intent of al Qaeda operatives and their terrorist lackeys to dethrone the royal family, take over that country and in so doing, launching a major terrorist offensive against and inside of the United States in the process. Note that the reference (link) above appears to indicate a two-fold attack in Saudi Arabia - those who take part in the overthrow, and those who martyr themselves in other arenas, such as the countries of their origins.

While some consider the Super Bowl to be an "enviable" terrorist target, we are looking at the possibility that it is not the primary or intended target. Rather, the vast viewing audience of the Super Bowl provides an interesting platform - a day when most Americans will be at home watching their televisions. As presented by analysts on this site before, the terrorists want to insure that they have the eyes and ears of the American people, watching the next attack or the start of the next "series of attacks" unfold. What better American audience can there be?

Based on a review of numerous communications from a number of sources, it would appear that the primary threat against one US city is nuclear in nature. What is less clear is the type of device. One possible scenario indeed involves New York City as illustrated in this analysis and graphic.

Airline Threats

Airlines originating from London and Paris to Newark, Washington, DC, Miami, Houston and Los Angeles are being grounded as this is being written. What is the exact nature of this threat? Analysts have found three separate threats that coincide with the grounding of these flights, from the most obvious to the lesser known:

1. Terrorists using airplanes in the manner as they did on September 11, 2001, against targets in the cities named above;

2. The use of airplanes against specific NUCLEAR REACTOR SITES in the US; (see Steve Quayle's Terror Alert Update for the full details of threats against the nuclear reactors).

3. Exploding the aircraft over populated areas through the use of nitrocellulose hidden in everyday products.

Additional Threats

1. Targeting of US Embassies

2. Additional use of car bombs (VBIED'S), kidnapping of journalists, and assassination (attempts) against political and high profile individuals.

3. Analysts have found interesting and quite disturbing references to the use of biological weapons, most originating from outside the US. In one instance, it was referenced that the "pilgrims of the Haj" might be purposely infected with a biological agent through the water supply and be asymptomatic until their return to their respective homelands.

4. Previous Intelligence & Data; Pentagon referenced... MORE

31 January 2004-- NOTICE: This is a "dynamic" situation - we are following a number of threats in real time and will post updates as they are needed.

Scroll down a little for a very interesting update on the countdown clock.

This is all getting pretty tension filled. I just checked with our COPS program to find out who is a HAM radio operator here. I fear most people in this country are oblivious to all this. I called a friend who is elderly and asked her if she has seen the news and she said, no I haven't had the TV on for several days. I did convince her to go out and get water etc.

[WestCoastGal]

Here's AF68 to LA, they must not have been in our airspace last time I checked.

[knak]

don't think it was about electricity, it mentions zawahiri. It was jihad type articles.

[grahm_crackers]

Anyone, just wondering what you guys/gals think of this quote from Afghan President Karzai?

""His exact location is not known," Karzai told reporters at his Kabul palace. "Inside or outside the (Afghan) border, it is not clear." Karzai said recent videos showing bin Laden demonstrated that he was still alive. "Everyone can see those videos," he said."

It is from this thread

Has Karzai seen videos that are not being shared with us? Hmmmmmmm

Small plane goes down into Pacific Ocean

The Associated Press
1/31/2004, 4:26 p.m. ET

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A small plane crashed into the ocean Saturday morning about a half-mile from the Port of Los Angeles and divers searched for the wreckage, officers said.

Authorities did not immediately know what type of plane crashed or how many people were on board, said Coast Guard Chief Warrant Officer Lance Jones. Witnesses described it as a small plane, possibly a Cessna, officials said.

The plane went down during the morning between the Los Angeles Lighthouse and Cabrillo Beach, said Art Marrujo, dispatch supervisor for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

An oil slick and limited debris were visible on the surface, but by early afternoon divers had not been able to locate the plane, Jones said.

Water in the area was about 65 feet deep. "We have divers down, but it's pretty low visibility down there," Jones said.

The Coast Guard had contacted local airports but no planes were reported missing, Jones added.

maybe its the 2/2 video? who knows.

Wonder what's up with Drudge. Just a mention a couple of hours ago about the flight cancellations and now even that story is pulled off the site. I know he's slooow on weekends, but this seems odd.

Suppose he's planning a siren soon :^)?

[oceanview]

another interesting one here:

Abdul Khan under house arrest, hopefully that means they are torturing him in the comfort of his own home.

[freeperfromnj]

Could he be talking about the ones in layoutguru's post # 2437?

[WestCoastGal]

Odd things going on with the media. My friend was watching the news last night I think NBC with Peter Jennings, not sure but they had a story on about the Super Bowl and the terrorist threat and right in the middle, the clip ended and they went to another story. That just seemed odd to me, also this morning a report from London kept having glitches, like portions of words were bleeped and FOX ended the report saying satellite trouble. I guess that's all possible but makes you wonder.

[WestCoastGal]

BA223 is coming in right behind AF026 to Dulles. AF68 over South Dakota.
