As many of you know, my daughter is a Cadet at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. She's at the football game and Security Forces are out in full force and full gear. Supposedly there is a just released Al Queda tape just released showing a film of the cadets marching into the stadium with an Arabic announcer spouting threats.
They are taking this seriously and have begun briefing the Cadets. I can't find out anything on the news sources yet...
HAS ANYONE ELSE HEARD ANTHING?

I suspect that there are a lot of threats that we never catch wind of but our soldiers are the best.

Thanks! This is just breaking at the Academy....
Nothing has actually happened yet other than swarms of SF forces in full gear....

Games at 2:pm MT with Wyoming...all the Cadets are being briefed, ranking officers and cadet staff first. Since she is an upperclassman and has rank, she will be briefed.
If she can disclose and is not protected by Secrecy, I will post immediately.....
Otherwise, My wife and I counting on our Freeper community for info...

Contacted a friend in the CSPD. He knows of no elavated threat within the local area and city limits. But if its just developing, that could change quickly. He'll get back with me if possible, should anything happen on his end.

The funny thing is we just returned home from an Academy Day ceremony for High School kid's interested in going to an Academy.
My eldest daughter at the Academy and now her younger sister wants to also go.

You have great kids. Thank you.
We'll say a prayer that all is well. Keep us posted.
