UPDATE: Theres been a number of rumors over the past several months that terrorists may use the lull between the election and the new President entering office to launch an attack either on US soil or against US interests.
In course with a number of al Qaedas manifests of targeting the west, the current financial crisis may instigate attacks that will target some aspect of financial importance whether it be maritime shipping lines, any one of the world-wide stock exchanges, physical financial institutions, energy sources (oil) or other infrastructure.
TAM-C analysts have picked up chatter on jihadi websites in both western and Arab countries, about their contentment that western financial stability is compromised.

According to the website HomelandSecurityUS.com, Islamic terrorist operatives may be dispatched, in place, and ready to execute a terror operation inside the U.S. and/or Europe
The article cites a disturbing communication discovered on a high level Arabic language forum. The post apparently suggests that some type of terrorist operation is now underway, targeting sites within the U.S. and Europe.
According to the website, information developed within the last 24 hours by a deep-cover intelligence operative, Islamic terrorists have been dispatched and may be in place, preparing to execute unspecified terrorist attacks.

//Are Terrorists Plotting New Attacks On US and Europe?//
Do Bears c*** in the woods?
Our borders are so secure we have nothing to worry about.
Continuously.
I don't know about that, but I do know they choke against the Buccaneers.
I hope they put on some antlers as they try to sneak in to Alaska...
Amen...I expect Dubya figgers he’s already unpopular, no problem unleashing some whoop-ass on Al Qaida.
Does the sun rise in the East?
well we could nuke the middle east after sundown
I think that, and you think that, but do they think that?
I been expecting for a long time they would do a major strike in Iraq just before the election with them assuming it would demoralize us to vote for the surrender ONE

I believe old slim might have a word or two.....
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition........
That is a good point. It might work better if they attack Iraq. If they attack us here, I think it will galvanize us.
Well now...........just what would be a target in Texas they could want to hit with a WMD ?
I have to admit when I read this title I though "Well duh!" of course they are plotting. The aim is to deny them any reasonable hope of success so they never attempt to put their plans into action.
In the interview, the al Qaeda member claims that there are sleeper cells in the United States made up of Muslims of European decent and who are prepared to attack at any moment. He also claims that al Qaeda continues to seek WMD, implies that they already have them, and that Texas is in our sight!.
Yeah, of course they want to claim they have sleeper cells in the US. That's why they're called terrorists - their stock and trade is terror. It would be bad for business (their business) if we didn't believe they were here. They have to make us believe, have to try to terrorize us. Even worse for them (worse then not believing they're here) would be to believe they are here, but that they are no threat, that we can handle them. That comes from the sure and certain knowledge that they have to keep a very low profile (ie. non-operational) in order to remain secret. Or that they are already infiltrated by informants and/or agents. Or that even if they attempt and are possibly even successful in an attack, they won't succeed in terrorizing us.
In that last regard Texas would be a very poor choice for the terrorists. New Yorkers are tough, they shook off the 9/11 attacks and the destruction of the towers. However, if they "mess with Texas," they (the terrorists) are going to see a whole new world of hurt. New Yorker panache is based on nothing phases them, they've seen it all. Texas is much more in-your-face. You pi$$-off a Texan, there's going to be blood spilled, probably yours.
I missed it, but Rah Rah for the Cubs!
