Hi a_d nice to see you!! Hope all is well.

Here it is..........

Share A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror “spectacular” this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document.

U.S. officials have kept the information secret, and Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said today on ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” that the United States did not have “have any specific credible evidence that there’s an attack focused on the United States at this point.”

As ABCNews.com reported, U.S. law enforcement officials received intelligence reports two weeks ago warning of terror attacks in Glasgow and Prague, the Czech Republic, against “airport infrastructure and aircraft.”

The warnings apparently never reached officials in Scotland, who said this weekend they had received “no advance intelligence” that Glasgow might be a target.

Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff declined to comment specifically on on the report today, but said “everything that we get is shared virtually instantaneously with our counterparts in Britain and vice versa.”

Unlike the United States, officials in Germany have publicly warned that the country could face a major attack this summer, also comparing the situation to the pre-9/11 summer of 2001.

THANKS for the info and link WCG.

Just another reason to check readiness and preparedness. Sounds like something is in the works.

On the up side, unlike pre-9/11/01, these warnings will not be ignored. Hopefully, any attacks can and will be prevented. Still, anyone who relies on the gov’t for their personal safety is foolhardy.

Sounds like there may still be time to further enhance readiness measures.

Thanks again for the info WCG!

To heck with all this stuff ! They have came here and to other civilized nations and brought nothing but chaos ,fear and trouble . To hell with PC bull, close every mosque in this nation and tell all muslims they are not welcome . This is not the kind of religion you give freedom to, They love death, we love life, let them go practice death elsewhere and lets get back to living.

They are robbing not only us of our liberty, but our family's . Clean out that house of prostitution with impeachments and votes before they get us all killed . Remember Rome ! S.Africa, Indonesia, Pakastan ,Thailand ,and all the other nations they let in ‘ PEACEFUL ‘ moderate muslims .

Of course this increased activity has to come when I have an extensive amount of travel on the calendar. Montreal, Ottawa, Boston, Philly, New York, LA, San Francisco and Miami all in the next 4 weeks. It’s always interesting to people watch at the airports. Let’s see if they actually tighten security.
