Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat

The good news about the today's terror warning is that if the factul basis for the warnings is true, then AQ does not have nuke weapons in place in the CONTUS. Why, you ask? Because we wouldn't be focusing on a specific building(s) when a single nuke could take out 2/3 or more of Manhattan.

You make a very good point.

Pakistani-U.S. Raid Uncovered Al Qaeda Cell's Plans for Attacks

Another senior U.S. intelligence official said the new information comprises a virtual playbook of the tradecraft al Qaeda surveillance teams use. It details, for example, the use of phony couriers and delivery people to get inside the buildings, intelligence officials said.

Sounds like new information is coming out all the time now.

Remember my post #3517?... "So what's the betting that messages will appear all over the internet in the next 24 hours from EOM saying al-qaeda are going to destroy the new york stock exchange? I think the chances are pretty good. What d'ya think?" Well look at the latest from GIM.... http://www.globalislamicmedia.com/indexb.htm "The Last Message from EOM note this post is very controversial - I am getting a lot of heat for it. Aljernaan Commentary - I am so upset and frustrated I can hardly type. I just received a communication from the classical bounce point where I have gotten EOM communications in the past. We received and printed a deadline of August 5, 2004 and now this simple note, which is so chilling, because it has the look and feel of a Muslim terrorist and offers a view of something I never wanted to see. If it is true, if this is the man and this is the message, all of our precautions and talk of alerts will be vaporized in a few milliseconds. Look for this man American Intelligence, and stop him, in the name of our God, before it happens. Aljernaan is weeping. The following is pasted from my email exactly as it was received. From: "Nomen Nescio" Add to Address Book To: aljernaan@yahoo.co.uk Subject: This what comes to Amerikkka in four days Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 02:50:03 +0200 (CEST) He will walk steadily but not hurriedly. He will be neatly dressed in a three-piece Brooks Brothers suit. As he walks he will look directly ahead with a slight smile on his face; no one will pay any attention to him. He will be everyman; dark-skinned, clean-shaven, with straight black hair neatly combed. When he reaches the front of the largest building in the very center of the busy city, he will put his suitcase down and check his wristwatch. His timing will be impeccable. He will pick up the suitcase and turn toward the street. Traffic will be light; most people will have already arrived at their jobs and will be working. He will say his final prayers to Allah. A few minutes later he will place the suitcase on the sidewalk and slowly bend over to initiate the firing sequence. Allah Akbar! he will say and smile. Within seconds a huge fireball will rise aboive the city. Tens of thousands will be dead at this moment, while buildings blocks away will be twisted and ripped open by a fiery wind. Within three minutes the dead and wounded will exceed 1 million Americans. This same scenario will be repeated at exactly the same time in four additional Amerikkkan cities this morning and thjree more tomorrow. The death toll will be over 50 million. Amerikkka will be physically devastated, Amerikkkkan economy in shambles. No help comes for the infidels. Amerikkka is dead. I have been told by Jeannie, the original EOM girl who received the message that this is a fiction piece posted on her board. This man has written me many times and he has a certain style and it is nothing like a fiction writer. Obviously he doesn't use a spell checker. I also know that certain persons were alledgedly picked up by intelligence and interrogated. It is the same relentless theme, which we will hear until the first bomb. We are all silly and there is no threat and EOM is a myth. So of course, meaning nothing they have raised the alert level to Orange based on precise intelligence. I have been personally informed of 5 nukes in place in the U.S. now. I'm sorry our weather girl has resigned. I must continue, with or without her. Aljernaan" Sorry about the lack of formatting. I don't know what's happened here.

Emergency Responder Awareness Advisory From FEMA/USFA

More Suspicious Activities at Fire Houses...

More suspicious activities at fire and emergency medical service departments have occurred. During the month of August, three engine companies of the St. Louis Fire Department reported incidents involving male subjects of "middle eastern" appearance who fled the scene when approached or questioned.

At one Engine Company the suspect was observed video taping the fire house. At another company the subject escaped after video taping the facility and the apparatus inside. At a third location the suspect entered the fire house and made inquiries regarding the size, floor space, and load capacity of the ambulance housed therein.

These recent events reinforce the necessity for all emergency response departments to remain vigilant for data collection by potential adversaries. They are reminders that all department personnel must fight complacency and remain ready to quickly stop unauthorized information gathering by the questions and filming of alleged visitors. Also, first responders should avoid sharing information with unknown individuals who communicate by telephone or electronic mail. Intelligence experts confirm that terrorists study the information they obtain to identify existing vulnerabilities and to plan their attacks accordingly.

Failure to prevent unsanctioned collection of details about the fire and emergency medical services may jeopardize the critical infrastructures upon which the protection of life and property depends. It is as important to avert as the theft of uniforms and vehicles used by emergency responders.

When a suspicious incident occurs such as the ones mentioned above, in addition to notifying the local authorities, the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) requests contact using the NIPC information seen at the bottom of this INFOGRAM. Notification of the NIPC will enable their specialists to attempt identification of the patterns, methods, and sources of past and future malicious actions directed against the critical infrastructures of emergency first responders. -- Go to the USFA CIP Report

JustPiper:

A couple of observations re: the terrorists. First, I expect this to be a long war. I do think my kids will see peace in their lifetime, though.

I read a demographic from the Middle East a couple of years ago ... that about half of the Arab population is under the age of 25. There are not too many cooler heads to balance off the teenagers, and the older terrorists seem real invested in getting the younger ones to enlist in suidice missions. However, they WILL age and hopefully get some wisdom -- the ones that survive.

Second ... the governments in the middle east, with maybe only two exceptions (including Israel!) are not terrific to their people. They've also been encouraging their people to blame the US for all their problems ... while letting their governments off scott free. There is virtually no free press there, and conspiracy theories abound ... and are believed. (Almost the situation that the US democrats would like ... but I digress!)

Third ... about a year after 9/11, I've noticed that in their rhetoric, and in some news analyses ... there is an honestly nutsy quality to the Al Quada rhetoric. For example, recall the endless discussion of dreams in that second Bin Laden video tape after 9/11 ... the dinner party he had with his friend.

After seeing the tape, and reading alot .. it almost seemed to me like they really believed that if Atta could just take out the WTC, Allah would take over from there, and smite the US, and bring on the Muslim version of end times ... and Bin Laden would be the Mahdi.

So ... it's hard to tell from their posts whether THEY actually plan to do something ... or honestly expect ALLAH to really do something. (i.e., Watch out!!! Allah's gonna get you!)

On the other hand, they could always get tired of waiting for Allah to do something ... I was chilled, watching Tom Ridge yesterday. We've overdue, I think, for something to happen ... and I do expect they'll hit the US before elections. If they can.

Sorry to have run on so long

While this is a good point, after reading the info about ME casing fire department, I'm wondering if the suicide bombings are diversions to bring a nuke in by ambulance or fire truck etc. after the suicide bombs go off from outside of the city...
