Al-Qaeda generally does not forecast its atrocities. But if this interview is evidence that their leadership is changing its tack, American vigilance, preparedness and deterrence were never more imperative. And politically correct anti-terrorist policies were never more potentially deadly.
Might I suggest that they be put up at Club Gitmo just for the entertainment value...
Bookmarked.
If I ask you why this isn't on the front page of every major newspaper, will you promise not to laugh yourself into the next century? :-)
Great job, Joanie! I'm forwarding this essay to most of my Email address book.
BTTT
It is insane that any are still here, and it is beyond insane that more are coming.
Does anybody know if Mir is the fellow that Beck interviewed a couple times last week? I'm not great with names, but I think it's the same guy, at least he was saying the same things that this report mentions. He seemed like a credible reporter.
To me this looks like a great example of a strategic information operation. The supposed "strikewarn" to Muslims living in America could be calculated to heighten the possibility of mistreatment of those folks at the hands of the government and public, possibly resulting in further radicalization of at least segments of that population. The announcement of another major attack, with the added factor of possible WMD, is a strike at the nation's morale, hoping to further exacerbate political divisions.

I've been a little "obsessed" with this potential threat since last fall. I really felt that the Superbowl in Detroit was going to be hit with a dirty bomb because of its location next to the Canadian border. Thankfully, I was wrong (or perhaps something was thwarted)
Since then I've been posting his pictures and info on craigslist's rants and raves section in various cities. http://detroit.craigslist.org/rnr/207132376.html
Just this week I was contacted by a guy in Las Vegas who said he saw him outside a home that has a large group of men living there. He gave me the address. I told him to contact the local FBI office. I hope he does.
Interestingly, I checked out threats to Las Vegas and there have been reports that the Luxor hotel is something very offensive to Al Zawahiri (#2 guy) who is Egyptian. It is a replica of a pyramid and features among other things a striptease show called "Fantasy." http://www.spiritoftruth.org/luxor.htm
I have a gut-level feeling that this latest mention of DC and NYC is an intentional plot to throw off the FBI.
bump for later reading.
Whom I hope are under constant surveillance.
