Pick a tunnel, bridge or building in the greater NYC area.
Couple that with Madrid or London style backpack attacks.
Has Janet, (Napolitano, not Reno), made any statement?
Janet, took a good look at these guys. I doubt if they are white, veterans . NO, I'm sure there's nary a "redneck" militia type amongst them.
Feds probe alleged terrorists who tried to rent giant truck in suspected Al Qaeda bomb plot

Investigators probed a failed Queens truck rental for ties to a possible Al Qaeda bomb plot yesterday as a chief terror suspect tried making a deal to save his skin.
The New York end of the expanding federal probe centered on seven Afghan men who tried to rent the biggest truck at a Queens U-Haul on Sept. 9, sources told the Daily News.
The size of the vehicle involved - a 26-foot-long truck - suggested the conspirators wanted to pack it with explosives, sources said.
A police source acknowledged there was “quite a bit that we weren’t completely sure of” about the plot or the role of Najibullah Zazi, the bearded public face of the terrorism investigation.

Attorney General Eric Holder said the probe had spread beyond Denver, home to the alleged terror cell, and New York City.
“The FBI is working this case around the clock in both cities and in other parts of the country,” he said.
The truck rental bid failed when none of the men could produce a valid credit card. All refused to surrender the identification needed to pay cash, the manager of the Flushing U-Haul said.

The feds turned up at the U-Haul in Jamaica around 11 a.m. Thursday as authorities continued tailing and interviewing suspects linked to the reputed Denver cell.
At least three Afghan men - including Ahmad Afzali, a Queens imam identified by a U-Haul employee as one of the would-be renters - were questioned in New York by FBI and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, sources said.
And at least a dozen people remained under round-the-clock surveillance in the case.
U-Haul workers also identified Naiz Kahn, who has said he gave Zazi a place to stay during his visit to New York last week.

The Department of Homeland Security sent a note to police last night to remain alert.
“While DHS and FBI have no information regarding the timing, location or target of any planned attack, we believe it is prudent to remind transit authorities to remain vigilant,” it said.

Authorities, despite all the activity, had not yet made an arrest four days after NYPD raids on several locations in Queens.
