OFFICIALS WARN: POSSIBILITY OF ATTACKS AROUND SEPT. 11
Thu Aug 11 2005 22:15:46 ET
A group of FBI counterterrorism analysts warned this week of possible terrorist attacks in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago around Sept. 11, the NEW YORK TIMES is planning to report on Firday, but officials cautioned that they were skeptical about the seriousness of the threat.
The warning grew out of intelligence developed from an overseas source indicating that terrorists might seek to steal fuel tanker trucks in order to inflict "mass casualties" by staging an anniversary attack, officials said.
The information led FBI joint terrorism task forces in Los Angeles and Newark, N.J., to alert other government and law enforcement officials privately this week about the threat, law enforcement officials said. Several government officials in Washington who were briefed on the threat said it was described as credible and specific enough to warrant attention.
Developing...
While some may poo-poo these warnings as knee-jerk sorts of actions... I say... If the intel picture is sizing up to look like maybe somebody is going to try something... then get the info out there.
Sometimes just the broadcast might make a cell re-think, reschedule, or cancel a plan. Or at least if there is something to look for, maybe the right person will see something in just enough time to do some good.
If an attack happens, let's pray the attackers came in from Mexico so we can get serious.
