Terror strike on the United States set for October 7, 2008 or simply terror by internet posting?
From Homeland Security US
A posting uncovered in an Arabic language Internet forum is currently raising a few eyebrows in the intelligence community.
The single posting, which is presently being scrutinized by intelligence officials, appears to provide detailed instructions for Muslims living within the United States, giving them specific actions to take before, during and after an upcoming attack in the U.S.
The communication was discovered by “Archangel,” a well-known independent intelligence analyst active within the intelligence community.
The post was initially published on August 2, 2008 under the title “Commandments [Directives] Before the Strike,” and appears to be a sort of a conflict management guide, or instructions on what Muslims should do prior to the attack, actions that should be undertaken concurrent with the attack, and well as additional instructions following the attack.
The text addressing the nature, location and timing of the planned attack, although specific to the U.S., appears otherwise ambiguous.
For instance, the timing appears to focus on the Tuesday following the end of Ramadan, which would be October 7, 2008. The nature of the attack is less clear. Although the author appears to talk about a strike greater in magnitude than the 9/11 attacks and makes reference to the possibility of it being nuclear in nature, the text references to the nuclear aspect of the attack appear somewhat muddled.
In terms of the location of the attack, it is clear that the author identifies both New York, as the financial capital of the U.S., and Washington, DC, as the nation’s capital, as being both desirable and affected. It is interesting that under analysis, the details of “the attack” referenced by the author are nestled within the text of instructions, rather than being prominently placed to serve as an overt warning as seen in the past. The relative subtlety in which the targets and type of attack was referenced is most interesting from a historical and analytical perspective.

Well gee whiz!!
We had better get some troops deployed domestically then.
And if those troops just "happen" to be deployed when the "civil unrest" begins from our economic collapse then it will be a really nice "coincidence".
We are more danger of internal terrorist attacks from ACORN, Nation of Islam, al Fuqra and Obama’s Blue Shirted Facists.
Gosh I thought they were referring to Bill Ayers and the Obamathugs if the pretender doesn’t win.
Ping.
Once again, as so often before, a terror attack predicted for a particular day (10/7/08 this time) fails to materialize.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, and the seriousness of the expected event, but calling “Wolf!” too often kinda deflates the real thing.
