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.

Haven't we heard this before every major (and not so major) holiday for the last 5 years?
Coupla nukes down their chimneys will fix that.
and if this were to happen, do you think any americans would wake up? no.
I forget if it was Barnes or Mort on FNC tonight - who said, "its obvious that this America, needs TWO pearl harbors before they wake up". well put.
The world needs to be shaken up. I hope it does not happen, but until an entire city is lost, noone will take the threat of islamofascists seriously.
One day it will come out how much scary shiat the governments stopped from happening while we shop at Best Buy, fusss over installing granite countertops, and opbsess over Britney Spears marriage.
As long as it's a blue one.
I didn't see it but I can assure you it wasn't Mort.
What? Even when their party won the election? /sarcasm
yes, but this time - AQ just won the US elections.
I won't give a fiddler's fugh, because I voted conservative straight down the line.
OK.
Yeah, yeah. We know. Infidels die. Blah blah. get on with it already.
Tell me Grammaw Nancy, will it still be just a problem and not a war when the terrorist bomb in the California mall kills some of your grandkids?
It was Fred.
I saw it. It WAS Mort. I think he surprised everyone on the panel, including Krauthammer, with that remark because it was blunt and truthful.
I'd bet it was Fred. But he's wrong. If it happens again, George Bush will be blamed, for having had the NERVE to fight back. Maybe the new majority will designate "A City For Sacrifice", to attone for us having the stones to fight tne moslems. She could make it a truly democrat process by having we, her lowly flock, vote for which city we'd like to see leveled.
I vote for San Francisco
eerm I live in a blue state....
