I know we all have debated the merits of Quayle's terror alerts, but here is his most recent:

LOCATION Moscow St. Petersburg,
Vladisvostok

ATTACK
TYPE DIRTY BOMB

TARGET schools, defense establishments, government buildings


INTEL
SOURCE spies,
direct threats from Chechen rebels

ATTACK
PROBABILITY* high

COMMENT:
The Islambouli brigades have declared all-out war in each region of Russia where their cells are located. Additionally, high ranking Russian military and political figures are targeted for synchronized assassinations.

Concurrent with events unfolding in Moscow, release of the Zawahiri tape two days prior to the anniversary of 911, along with Islamic postings of homicide bombers, seems to indicate a "go" signal has been given.

The tape is obviously being checked for embedded codes, but the presentation of the tape at this time speaks for itself.

* NOTE: Attack Probabilities are rated Threat Specific, High, Extremely High or In Progress

Militants give Italy 1 day on hostages

* Want Iraqi women prisoners released for information about Italian aid workers

BAGHDAD: Militants loyal to Al Qaeda’s number two have given Italy 24 hours to promise to release Muslim women prisoners in Iraq in exchange for details about two kidnapped women aid workers, in a statement published on a website Friday.

“We ask Italy to promise unconditionally to release all Muslim women prisoners from Iraqi prisons. In turn we will give a little information about the Italian female hostages,” the Ansar al-Zawahiri group purportedly said. It was impossible to independently verify the authenticity of the statement, posted on www.islamic-minbar.com.
