FBI Warns of Suicide Attacks in U.S.
Tuesday, October 7, 2008 12:01 AM
Federal officials notified law enforcement agencies Monday of a potential al-Qaida terrorist attack in which public buildings are targeted by suicide bombers.
According to NBC News, the analysis by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security describes a scenario where a dozen attackers each carrying 20 kilograms of explosives storm a building, "seal off escape and access points, and occupy it long enough to set and detonate their explosive packages."
In the al-Qaida plan, according to the analysis, suicide terrorists "would be able to enter many publicly accessible buildings easily with little or no resistance from often poorly trained and lightly armed or unarmed security guards, and that an explosion from inside the building would be particularly effective."
The FBI/DHS analysis states that a "recently discovered audio recording of al-Qaida training sessions conducted several years ago" provided detailed instructions on how to carry out such an attack.
The U.S. Office of Intelligence and Analysis told NBC that it has "no credible or specific information that terrorists are planning operations against public buildings in the United States." But the FBI and DHS analysts said they were releasing the note because "it is important for local authorities and building owners and operators to be aware of potential attack tactics."
Can’t we have talks with them first?
That’d change the debate.
Do they mean office buildings or places like supermarkets?
Probably both I imagine.
This coincides with what was posted yesterday regarding deploying the Army within the US.

Ayers on the loose again.
One more terrorist bombing in America and every muzzie swinging dick will have to pack up their koran and family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from.
We abide by the “baseball rule” when it comes to terrorist bombings in America, therefore, “three strikes and you’re outa here.”
Our ancestors didn’t risk life & limb to emigrate to this country just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women & children & make hamburger out of our families.
Bah! Obama will protect us. [s]
LOL
Stock up on supplies and ammo and gas up your car before the election.
And Obama will be waiting with indictments at the ready. God forbid we STOP them first.
I don’t care... my 401K is in the tank. I don’t need to be safe all I care about is the economy) (Sarcasm added).
Let’s make sure the borders stay open...that’ll always help.
alQaida...
...or Bill Ayers and friends?
“Stock up on supplies and ammo and gas up your car before the election.”
We did that on 9/12/2001.
The public buildings all have signs -- prominently displayed -- which forbid anyone from bringing weapons “of any kind” into the building.
You are so optimistic!
Probably be carried out Nov 5th if McCain gets elected. I don’t think they want to upset the voters enough to vote for McCain.
I think Islamic Fascists would love for McCain to win...to keep fighting a war.
First.... they have to absentee vote for obama.
