The Buffalo branch of the F.B.I. confirms the news with Channel 2: that they are aware of a known Al-Qaeda website that posted a picture of Niagara Falls. A picture that was taken at night from high above, facing the American side of Niagara Falls.
NBC News is reporting that the F.B.I. is concerned about the picture, and the fact that a picture of Niagara Falls was posted on a known Al-Qaeda website.
The web address of that Al-Qaeda website is based somewhere in the United Kingdom, and is no longer an active Internet link.
Channel 2 News tried logging on to that website, but an error page popped up every time.
According to NBC News, there are pictures of known hijackers and familiar Al-Qaeda images on the website.
There were a number of different image files on that Al-Qaeda website, including the following file names:
Atta Group.
Flight 11 Seating.
Department of Mayhem.
Surprise.
Bin Laden.
And the one file name that is causing concern within the FBI here at home:
NiagraFallsatnight,Canada.jpg, with the file name not adding the letter a to correctly spell Niagara.
According to NBC News, the F.B.I. is troubled by the addition of the Niagara Falls picture on the known Al-Qaeda website, and that the F.B.I. is studying the image for any potential secret messages embedded in the photo, who posted it, and why?
I doubt very much that Al-Qaeda is carrying out tourist trips to Niagara Falls. The odds are much more likely that it is the subject of potential targeting for Al-Qaeda, said NBC News Terrorism Analyst Steve Emerson.
Channel 2 News did talk to Buffalo F.B.I. Spokesman Paul Moskal about our story. He released this statement:
Nationally and internationally, the F.B.I. has not received any information indicating any person, group, or location within any area in Western New York, that is being targeted by Al-Qaeda, said Moskal in his statement.

Unless there is a code, what can they do? Poison the river. It's not like they can blow up the falls or anything.

It's not like they can blow up the falls or anything. The area is built-up. Maybe they intend to set fire to a motel room.

There is a sizable power plant there near the falls.

No, but there are large power plants on each side of the falls. Knocking out the Niagara Mohawk Power Station would induce a blackout.

Maybe there's more than "6" in Lackawanna...

They could easily hide something in a pic using steganography, but I doubt they'd put something out there so blatant/obvious.

They are stupid but I don't think they are THAT stupid.

Perhaps they could be suckered into a barrel race.
