On Greta, Bill Gertz saying there is nothing to stop trains being blown up here, there is a long tunnel somewhere near DC. Freight train could be exploded in there creating a disaster. Problem is not just in major cities but further west.

No secret there is no security on trains. Why aren't we doing anything? It's DHS job, they are aware of it, but a difficult job. Not enough people. They have sent out alerts to mass transit systems before. Someone named Mohammad ?? said plan to fire bomb between Capitol Hill and downtown in tunnel. They AQ have been planning underground bombings. US cautions they exaggerate.

Anybody could walk up to a slow moving freight train and plant a device. Cannot watch the entire rail system.

Mansoor Ijaz........Spain, yes more to come. This attack represents a fairly dangerous mutation in the war on terror. Three bombings in past 2-3 weeks have resonating emergent pattern. Local groups with superstructure financing or explosives and other state provided weapons. Taking place at or on specific dates, like the day before the constitution (Iraq) signing and before election in Spain.

He thinks very dangerous new strain of terror.

The external assistance from State actors, AQ and cells around the world is the most dangerous. State financing putting materials in hands of global operators. Which state? In old days 5-6 but now only IRAN.

If OBL captured, what then? NO, does not stop them, invigorates them to take advantage of what they have already planned. The terrorists are master planners and have capacity to carry them out....todays attack more dangerous than 9-11. To be able to hit on demand on a certain date to stop elections etc.
