Internet Forums Advocated Use of Biological Toxins From those details and level of expertise displayed Aviran says he knew the threats were serious and sent a warning to his company's clients worldwide which include in his words, "Western governmental agencies."
At the same time he claims there have also been terrifying online exchanges about using aerosols filled with biological agents to attack planes.
Two individuals, both well-known members of extremist forums, according to Aviran, have been leading these discussions which include the use of Botulinum toxin. Botulinum is one of the deadliest substances known to mankind.
The two individuals have been participating in Islamic Internet forums for several years and are known to the intelligence gatherers at Terrogence.

According to Aviran, his company monitors 10 main extremist Web sites. The sites use sophisticated security and screening methods to prevent infiltration by Western spy agencies.
To gain access to restricted areas of online discussion takes time and patience. Passwords and user names have to be issued, and members are often barred when they are suspected of working for Western governments.

Thanks for the ping.
I really wish Bush and Cheney were still in charge of our national security. Did you see that assclown Brennan make a fool of himself this week when he tried to dispute Cheney, while at the same time his Ubama administration has a policy of “catch and release” for terrorists (returning them to Yemen is like Israel returning terrorists to Hamas) and bringing terrorist masterminds from Gitmo to freaking Manhattan courtrooms so they can lawyer up and get put on trial like they knocked over a liquor store!
It keeps getting sicker and sicker with Ubama, and I definitely do not feel “safe”.
