Drudge is currently flashing a story about an imminent terror threat against German citizens in the country.
This morning, the State of Alabama was the announced winner of a $4 billion steel mfg. plant to be located in Mobile, Al by German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp. There was supposed to be a press conference and public announcement with Governor Riley and the CEO and other representatives of ThyssenKrupp.
About an hour ago, traffic was temporarily halted on I-85 West in Montgomery as approximately 50 police cars and motorcycles passed by along with 1 Humvee.
Information is locked up tight, and none of the authorities will talk with the local press about it and are claiming a lack of knowldege. There have been some statements in the local press (talk radio) that it involves Homeland Security.
Needless to say, something is up.
ThyssenKrupp is a hughe German manufacturing company and their German representatives are in town today to formally announce that Alabama has been selected as the site of the $4 billion steel plant (over Louisiana).<p.
The connection is that we have a bunch of important Krauts in town. I can say Krouts because I’m German American!
Clever.
Fuel the jet, I’m on my way. Greta.
Osama Obama heard a rumor that 10,000 people died in Kansas and that they only had 40% of the National Guard resources IN Kansas because of the war in Iraq.
bttt
NY Times: Minorities to be hit hardest.
Wall Street Journal: Stocks to be hit hardest.
YIKES! Something's up alright! LOL!
Nick Saban sighting?

I read about that. But he was tired, so it’s ok.
Careful! There are allegedly a lot of alleged rumors "flying" on this "thread." ;-)

U.S., Germans Fear Imminent Terror Attack
May 11, 2007 12:24 PM
Brian Ross, Richard Esposito & Chris Isham Report:
U.S. and German officials fear terrorists are in the advanced planning stages of an attack on U.S. military personnel or tourists in Germany.
Law enforcement officials tell the Blotter on ABCNews.com that U.S. air marshals have been diverted to provide expanded protection of flights between Germany and the United States.
“The information behind the threat is very real,” a senior U.S. official told ABC News.
German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble told reporters, “The danger level is high. We are part of the global threat by Islamist terrorism.”
Of particular concern, according to U.S. and German law enforcement officials, is Patch Barracks, the headquarters for U.S. European Command, near Stuttgart.
Security at all U.S. military and diplomatic facilities has been increased in the last month following reports that suspected terrorists had conducted surveillance of the Patch Barracks facility.
“The attack would be designed to create high numbers of casualties among both Germans and the U.S. military,” said ABC News consultant Richard Clarke, a former White House counterterror official.
The 9/11 hijackers planned their operation out of Hamburg, Germany, and the country continues to be known as a staging area for al Qaeda and groups affiliated with it.
“There are 300 to 500 people who are suspected to be part of al Qaeda cells in Germany,” said Col. Andrew Pratt (Ret.) of the George Marshall Center in Germany.
“In a democratic state like Germany, you just can’t go out and arbitrarily arrest people because they are under suspicion,” Pratt said.
German officials have called for enhanced police powers to keep suspected terror groups in check.
Several radical Islamist groups have threatened violence unless Germany withdraws its troops from the NATO force in Afghanistan.
A radical Islamist group in Iraq took a German woman and her adult son hostage in February, threatening to execute them if Germany did not pull its troops out of Afghanistan. The two are still being held.
A spokesperson at Patch Barracks said they were not aware of any specific surveillance on the location, and they are not under any more specific surveillance than other U.S. facilities in Germany. “As a response to the U.S. Embassy Berlin’s recent warden message, all U.S. military installations in Germany are urged to exercise increased viligance,” they said in a statement to ABC News.

“has been selected as the site of the $4 billion steel plant (over Louisiana).”
So maybe it’s Louisiana that is attacking? Everybody is always so quick to blame Jihadists.
