Al Qaeda is going to have an easier time than me here think. Al Qaeda has sooooooo many ways that they can do this and limit the US and Coalition naval forces ability to prevent such, as well. Nonetheless, til al Qaeda backs up their threat, it all amounts to rhetoric.

If they have the balls to show their face, (which they don’t)They would be exterminated. These cowards only do things covertly.

Interdicting a choke point is alot harder than you might think, unless you have shore based heavy weapons, FPB's or mines you can't do much. Hence why I said mining is probably the way they'd chose. Messing with Nav markers is possibly one way they could do it, but with the prevelance of GPS on ocean going vessels it is of limited use.

Besides this has been thought through years before by Naval planners when we thought they might try this.

When we invaded Iraq this time, there were reports that Russia had sold GPS jamming devices to the Iraqis. Those didn’t work so good, US military was able to lock in on the frequency and bomb the jamming equipment sites.
