Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Twenty

Also, the name of the stadium where they are playing tonight is called Busch Stadium.

"Busch Stadium"

You guys are good.

It does matter that it causes people to gather around the TV set.

True - I think the stadium would be too difficult a target - but a large percentage of the population will be sitting in front of the TV to witness any breaking news events across the country.

I'd be really freaked out if the game was on ABC.

In the last week before the election, ABCNEWS is holding on a videotaped message from a purported al Qaeda terrorist warning of a new attack on America, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN AIRED THE SECOND THEY GOT IT. WHAT RIGHT DO THEY HAVE TO NOT TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON. IT DOEN'T MATTER IF IT IS REAL OR NOT WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHEN SOMEONE THREATENS US.

They should have turned it over to Homeland Security the minute they got it - not waited until Monday.

Who knows what ABC will say...I'm sure they are working on some answer to give to the public.

"I think the stadium would be too difficult a target" A couple of years back I had a dream that the terrorists took out the Arch. Could destroying the Gateway to the West be the start?

Think mobile. A toy bomb shaped like a football killed four kids in Waziristan about a week ago. How far off can a baseball be?

I think the January image was determined to be quite similar to the Saudi Interior Ministry.

You may be talking about the August "two bows" image - - a crude drawing with a plane heading towards some object(s).

CIA can’t authenticate
taped threat to U.S.
NBC: Analysts cite ‘low’ concern
MSNBC and NBC News
Updated: 1:50 p.m. ET Oct. 27, 2004

The CIA is unable to authenticate a videotape in which a man claiming to be an al-Qaida terrorist warns of devastating new attacks on the United States, a senior U.S. intelligence official told NBC News on Wednesday.

The existence of the tape was first reported Wednesday afternoon by Internet columnist Matt Drudge, who said it was obtained last weekend in Pakistan by ABC News. Drudge quoted an unidentified “senior ABC News source” as saying the network was “working 24 hours a day trying to authenticate” it.

But the senior intelligence official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told NBC News that “we can’t authenticate” the tape, a copy of which ABC gave the CIA on Monday. He would not elaborate, adding, “I think that is where we are going to stand.”

that is running 13's on the quarter mile

~~~~~~~~~~~~That,s fair. What class do you run in?

[subsea06]

Now you know why UBL's on the move...

sub6

Curious... DOW's up 150pt today.

They can't identify the person on the tape and that is why they can't *authenticate* it. The tape itself is of good quality....just reported on Foxnews.

This ain't good news folks...sounds like they can't authenticate it because it's authentic.

Sean Hannity just said that he has spoke with someone who heard the tape and said it was "chilling".

The "two bows" was discussed the first part of August. Here is a link to the general discussion area:

I hope Hannity can squeeze more info out of that guy....we need any specifics now!

Well then, after work, and after dinner, pop some popcorn, enjoy some hot apple cider (or your favorite beverage) and watch the lunar eclipse. There won't be another one for years.

[Mossad1967]

This whole thing doesn't sound good.

[PrivateIdaho]

I was thinking of the two bows. After further review (see post #2000 - thanks HipShot), it doesn't look like Busch Stadium or the Gateway Arch - and of course in August they wouldn't have known where the World Series would be played.
