Does anybody think we're going to red?

I think red is "duck and cover" and will not be issued unless a series of strikes is obviously in motion. Like after the second plane striking the Tower.

There may be a move to orange, though. We have a tape, Blood moon eclipse, and President speaking in a stadium. With an hour of video tape, there may be something specific enough for orange.

I am going to be driving a bus load of band students to competition this evening. I pray for safety and protection.

ping to #1939 too for map of area.

[Velveeta]

We've been on the right track all along. It is creepy.

Time to remain calm and vigilant, though.

Watch for indicators.

Put Security Forces on Red Alert After Osama Bin Laden Sighting in Laddakh
South Asia Tribune ^ | October 25, 2004 | Arun Rajnath

Fugitive Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden has been spotted in the Tibet-Laddakh region, close to the North-Eastern tip of Pakistan, bordering India and China, Indian and US officials believe.

A high-ranking official of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) flew from Islamabad on Sunday to meet top Indian officials here in Delhi after reports of Bin Laden’s presence in the region.

According to sources, following the meeting between Indian security bosses and the FBI, the New Delhi Government has put its security forces in the North Western region, specially the Kashmir Valley, on 'red alert.'

Vigilance on the Kargil-Leh Highway and area along the Tibetan border has also been increased. Security forces are likely to undertake combing operations in the Laddakh region before the start of snowfall.

These sources in the Indian Home Ministry told this correspondent that intelligence agencies had received information that Bin Laden has been spotted traveling. Some such reports were also published in a section of the Pakistan media.

Sources say the FBI official flew into Delhi from Pakistan to hold talks with Indian officials in New Delhi. At their meeting, chiefs of the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), intelligence units of the Border Security Force (BSF), Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) and Indian Army officers were present.

Indian officials believe Bin Laden may have reached Laddakh from the Pak administrated Kashmir where they think he may have been helped by some Jihadi or even sympathetic elements in the Pakistani forces.

Officials are also expressing concern over increased activity of foreign nationals along the LoC. Though there are no concrete reports on Pak Army’s support to these foreign nationals, Indian Home Ministry officials feel that some supporters in the ISI may be providing help. An ISI official, Ejaz Khan, has already been identified by the Indian security agencies for helping militants to cross over into the Indian territory.

Officials working with different security agencies said though the border fence along the LoC, which was expected to be completed this year, had raised hurdles for the infiltrators, militants manage to sneak into the Indian territory from across Poonch and Rajauri.

Meanwhile, five additional battalions of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Border Security Force (BSF) have been called in to fortify all spots of tourist interest besides camps and bases of the Army. Multi-tier anti-infiltration arrangements have been made. The ITBP has also been put on full alert.

Security officials feel the militants have once again succeeded in scaring away outsiders from the Valley, and foreign nationals’ presence on the other side of Kashmir could aim at fortifying the bases of militants to facilitate them to launch fresh attacks on army establishments and other sensitive targets.

Sources in the Home Ministry say Indian Border Security Force deployed in the Valley had intercepted Jihadi leader Syed Salahuddin’s message and a speech a few days back which revealed that various militant outfits were gearing up to launch major attacks before the snow starts falling. They have also been directed to intensify their activities in Jammu region, Doda, Bhadrawah and Kishtwar.

Sources told this correspondent that Salahuddin’s speeches were being transmitted on wireless sets available with the militants. This information was immediately passed on to all concerned to make pre-emptive arrangements.

The length of taped speeches transmitted on wireless is said to be 10-15 minutes, and these broadcasts were being repeated several times a day. Militants keep changing the frequencies to dodge Indian army interceptors.

The message called for carrying out attacks on security causes as well as soft civilian targets hampering economic activity and tourism in Kashmir.

Not yet, a single suspect video tape is not quite enough and must be view by Feds in the context of all the secret-stuff they have to validate it. Terror does not need to kill to terrorize, psychological operations such as bogus tapes can do the same thing.

[flutters]

I think we all are. Take comfort in the fact that we are better prepared than most. We've had "TM experts" report on everything from food to self defense. Stay vigilant.

[freeperfromnj]

I think protection for schools needs to be stepped up.

I'm pretty sure you have this pic on file, LG.

If you do, would you post it please?

Interesting post, I never did hear anything concrete about any Millennium attack...

When they stopped the Millenium attack, it was an alert FBI guy who stopped the would be terrorist. My son's fiance is his niece and he called her house to tell her all about it. He wasn't alone in stopping the terrorist, but he was in the group who did. She said there have been many terrorist attacks that have been stopped before they happened. We don't hear about all of them on the news.

Thank you Myrddin!

[nwctwx]

I wonder what happens if certain places (cities -- i.e., NYC) went to Red prior to the election. Would voting be cancelled in these places?

[Domestic Church]

If you remember that media bigwig dinner in Manhattan last year (after Thanksgiving? December?) the major networks holding their tongues on this is eyebrow raising. Time to get outta Dodge?

[Velveeta]

Never mind, LG.

Myrddin posted the pic.

I should have read further down the thread.

Thanks, Myrddin

I just went through my directory of web pics last weekend and classified them into directories by type. It was easy to find the item referenced by callmejoe. It's hosted on my website at the San Diego ISP. Not sure if there will be any bandwidth restrictions as more people refresh the thread.

[freeperfromnj]

I don't think we should take any chances on this. Too many things are coinciding -- election, lunar eclipse, people reporting suspicious activity, a tape surfacing before the election. It all just doesn't sit well.

[myprecious]

Terror does not need to kill to terrorize, psychological operations such as bogus tapes can do the same thing.

Agreed. But the only way to tell the difference between being paranoid and prepared is hindsight. Then it is too late.

[Velveeta]

Please read. I would consider this warning for all the major metropolitan areas.

***Ill. hospitals warned about fake doctors***
http://www.jg-tc.com/articles/2004/10/27/news/news02.txt

(snip)Also according to Robbins, the hospital's security department also got news about two incidents in northern Illinois last month where two men entered hospitals under suspicious circumstances.

At a hospital in Sandwich, Ill., two men entered a hospital, claimed to be visiting doctors and asked several questions about the facility before leaving when staff there confronted them. At a hospital in Peru, Ill., two men entered and said they wanted to buy a wheelchair then left abruptly when told management would be contacted. In both instances, the two men were described as being of Middle Eastern descent.(snip)
