Senior U.S. intelligence officials tell ABC News new intelligence from Afghanistan suggests a small al Qaeda cell is on its way to the United States, or may already be here.

The White House has convened an urgent multi-agency meeting for Thursday afternoon to deal with the new threat.

Top intelligence and law enforcement officials have been told to assemble in the Situation Room to report on:

--what steps can be taken to minimize or counter the threat,

--and what steps are being taken to harden security for government buildings and personnel.

"It suggests they have information that the cell or cells coming this direction want to attack a government facility," Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent and ABC News consultant, said.

Law enforcement officials say the recent failed attacks in London have provided important new clues about possible tactics.

And officials say the London attackers use of the Internet left important clues that are being used to decode other e-mails that had initially been deemed unimportant but are now taking on new significance.

"and what steps are being taken to harden security for government buildings and personnel."

I ask the president and the congress what steps are being taken to protect US, stop the middle east visa's for Dr's and others and close the damn border!!!!!

Al Qaeda Cell in the U.S. Or On Its Way, According to New Intel

My bets for the demographics on this group:
1. M.D. or other health professional at a major research university;
they have access and knowledge to NASTY toxic substances
(including radioactives).
(My deepest fear is that they'll manage to widely distribute some
slow-acting poison or radioisotope via some mundane carrrier like
milk or soda.)

2. Drivers of semis: load up a couple of semis, with demolition
devices well constructed, expertly detonated and with "critical
mass" (by driving 4-5 semis into one sight for simultaneous detonation)
so that Timothy McVey will turn green in envy in hell.

3. And yes, given how many Muslims work at airports...I won't be
shocked if they pick a major one and simply turn it into a
slaughterhouse of infidels.
The Muslim infiltration of our airports is well detailed in
Paul Sperry's "Infiltration"; see http://www.sperryfiles.com for
more info.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ksmal1cVlGA

(Video Above) 7/10/07: ABC World News Tonight -- Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff stated "I believe we are entering a period this summer of increased risk" while speaking to the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board citing intelligence he would not disclose. Brian Ross reports on new intelligence suggesting that a small al Qa'ida cell may be on its way to the United States or already here. The White House will assemble in the Situation Room this week to minimize the threat. Ross quotes a senior administration official who said "the level of concern of a new terrorist attack is now higher than it has been in some time."

If they wanted to protect the country, they would be doing it. By now it's apparent they want to destroy the United States of America.

There’s more going on than we know about, IMHO, and, it’s not good...

[BuffaloJack]

“But I thought Chertoff was protecting the borders and all. Does this mean all we have going for us is vigilance?”

Chertoff!
Chertoff couldn’t manage the eveing shift at McDonalds, much less protect our borders. He is incapable of making a decision.

[rbg81]

I’m sure there are many Al Qaeda cells here—some being watched, many not. We are still actively encouraging Muslim immigration. With 20% or more of Muslims sympathetic to their cause, how could it be otherwise?

Thank you West Coast Gal for the ping.

Anyone for possible Dem bumper stickers on this? They love to minimize the threat.

“Jihadists are just wild and crazy guys—Hug one today!”

“Jihadis cells phone home!”

[WestCoastGal]

Did anyone ask mr cherthoff HOW this or these cells got here??

I almost wish they would get it over with so our congressidiots would get their heads out of their rears and protect our country.

Stop all the illegals entering the non-existant border and stop muslims with Dr’s visas and Iraqis by the thousands from coming here.

[indcons]

Old news. They are already here and are called CAIR.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Someone in the administration should feed ABC some bogus information then catch who is leaking it.

It is treason.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Expel any Muslim who will not take a loyalty oath. (Catch-22 -- they can't -- it's forbidden).

Not if they cross their fingers. More accurately, they can lie all they want to infidels. Its only forbidden if they "mean it."

[varina davis]

Could be it’s a “leak” so folks won’t say they weren’t warned?

[taxed2death]

Jorge, Chertoff and Gonzales will have a welcoming committee for them at our southern border.

[mathprof]

Don’t believe it. The WOT is “just a bumper sticker”. Ask the Breck Girl.

[fishergirl]

Good point - I’ve thought about this as well.

[wastedyears]

They’ve been at war with us since the Barbary Wars.
