June 16, 2004 — A suspected terrorist in U.S. custody has been cooperating with authorities and has suggested al Qaeda was planning more attacks in the United States, ABC News has learned.
The terror cell Babar is allegedly associated with in London was under British surveillance for months, according to sources familiar with the investigation. Members of the terror cell spoke openly of launching attacks and purchased nearly a ton of ammonium nitrate, one of the key ingredients used in the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people.

I am skeptical that any serious al-Qaeda group anticipates an attack in the immediate future, at least not until they see a Rat take the Presidency. They now know that this kind of behavior brings down the stomping foot of the 20 ton elephant. I do think that they are constantly feeding in reports of planned strikes, just to aggravate us.
I don't want to make light of yet another terror threat, but when they are in the news almost daily for two years I almost take them with a grain of salt.
Either our govt. is doing a great job or mouthing off threats is all the juice these madmen have.
However my in my community the owners of fishing vessels are not to happy with having to dish out money because homeland security is requiring them to mount securitycams on their vessels now.
Is this the same Babar Walters that works for ABC News?
