Al Qaeda May Be Plotting Holiday Attacks
CBS News (excerpt) ^
Posted on 11/10/2006 5:34:50 PM PST by HAL9000
Excerpt -
Intelligence agencies have been warned that al Qaeda may be planning to attack air and rail travel in Europe in actions that may occur during the busy holiday travel season, CBS News has learned exclusively. In separate interviews with Arab and other intelligence sources, CBS News has been told that the warnings come from interrogations of al Qaeda suspects who recently left Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"One suspect said plans for repeating the Heathrow attempt (a reference to the failed 'liquid bomb' plot interrupted in August) were all prepared. It is now a matter of taking action," said one Arab official who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak to the media. "Al Qaeda's strategy appears to be raising the pressure in Europe."
In a move that has been puzzling intelligence agencies, al Qaeda has been withdrawing well-trained Arab fighters from the mountains and battlefields of Afghanistan.

If terrorists hit, Europe will do what it always does after a tragedy.
Blame the Jews and butcher them.

Wow... talk about a sore loser. I think we're all upset with the outcome of the election last week, but your comment is obnoxious... even if it is a 'botched joke'.

Damn. Their political victory on Tuesday doesn't seem to have mollified them at all.
What do these people want!???

To replay a previous post. Tell AQ and all of the other Islamofaciest groups that an attack on America will get Mecca turned into a dust bowl.

Well it's the Democrats responsibility now.
They had eight years under Willy Boy Klinton to fix the terrorism problem and didn't.
So now the people have spoken by asking for at least two more years of the do nothing Democrats.
So who will keep them, my family and me safe now that the enemy has been emboldened by a retreat to cut and run, give and no take policies of cover up and feel good from the left.
Hell, Nancy Pepalosers district doesn't even want our fine military within eyesight of their perverted city.

Tell AQ and all of the other Islamofaciest groups that an attack on America will get Mecca turned into a dust bowl.Are you kidding? What's even more likely since Tuesday is that an attack would get a nice fat donation from Congress to the Ka'aba maintenance fund and a place for CAIR on a House committee. The new leadership will watch this country take repeated punches and do nothing. I challenge them to convince me otherwise.

For the US to leave Iraq and Afghanistan. This threat is just a reminder to the dims to do what they were elected to do. I guess Pelosi Galore isn't moving fast enough for them.

If it happens again, George Bush will be blamed, for having had the NERVE to fight back. I think people really don't understand that W will be blamed for everything that happens, not the RATS. I don't know why that's the case after the kangaroo court 9/11 Commission pinned most of the blame on his adminstration and people went along with it, but they do. The next two years are going to be one big blameWfest.

Iran was one of our most loyal allies in the region until a peanut farmer was elected President of the United States.
Now, that America has again been taken over by the left, I would imagine England and Israel are feeling a little lonely as they prepare for attacks from a newly emboldened enemy.
