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.

That was what I thought, too. The missing letter could be a target designation code, not just ignorance. Can't a message be hidden in the code for a image file, jpeg or such?

This is the best I can do right now.

Everything below this is Niagara Falls NY...........................Below is N Grand Island Bridge and the tip of Grand Island NY

In the middle of the pic is Goat Island, New York. From the right corner of goat island at the start of the Horseshoe Falls is the start of the Canadian falls and everything at the bottom of the pic is Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada

I hope this helps..

I thought Al was proof of major toxic chemical leaks there already.

Point Lepreau is in New Brunswick, not B.C.

I should know, I live sixty miles north of it :)

What needs to be done is blow up Mecca and Medina and let these jerks know that we are tired of mohammedan intimidation and are ready to give them a payback they will remember for the few short weeks that their swinish religion and culture continue to contaminate the earth. Harsh words may follow.

I believe you, I didn't type it. Just copied it.

Forgive me if this has been posted but UA has a flight 11: JFK SFO 715P DPTR, NS. AA has no #11currently.

NIAGARA: DEF ~ AN OVERWHELMING FLOOD; TORRENT.
(Symbolism??)

but what about if they put some kind of poison in the water over the falls .. where does that water go and could they put enough poison into the water to create a problem ..??

The Niagara empties into Lake Ontario, the largest freshwater body in the world by volume. There is no way that an additive poison could pollute it to any meaningful extent.

Isn't that side called the American Falls? What if that's what it means, simply the American falls

Now you're thinking out of the box. And that explanation is so obvious, yet so well hidden.

Damn!

No, it would have to be self-replicating to reach an appreciable concentration. Bioagents are a possibility, but there is also the possibility of introducing a species of parasite or non-indigenous organism to cause ecological havoc.

I just brought the file up in a photo program. I don't know anything about steg; but does anyone know arabic? Is that arabic letters superimplosed in the sky in the second file?

I can see them...that's what they look like. They are shadowed areas upper right. First letter looks like a weird "T."

[Dosa26]

Cough...Zebra mussels, spiny shrimp, gobees....Fortunately the lake is strong and flexible.

[Indie]

Somebody get some color filters over that pic. There IS Arabic writing upper right which can only be seen clearly w a filter...

[CyberAnt]

My family are near Wolcott and Fair Haven - on Lake Ontario. But .. you're right, it's a huge body of water and it would take a tremendous amount of stuff to have any effect at all.

Do you think they would try to blow up the upper part of the falls in an attempt to stop the flow of water ..?? I really don't understand what their facination is with the falls.

[Indie]

OMG...I am in Photoshop experimenting with adding noise and filters...I'm getting up now to get an adult beverage because I am afraid I'm seeing things. I see more writing in the sky but I need to make it clearer because it's still unintelligible. Somebody else see what you can do as well. If I can make it so it is beyond doubt man-made, I'll post it. Otherwise I'm going to leave it to chance.

but there is also the possibility of introducing a species of parasite or non-indigenous organism to cause ecological havoc

I would take this threat seriously if a genetically modified freshwater red/black tide turned up, ironically the zebra mussuls (non-indigenous rumored to be spawned from european vessels dumping bilge) are cleaning up the suspended particulates and concentrating the "life" of the lake on the bottom.

The man sitting in the car is a dead ringer for someone that I was told some years ago was a member of the Mossad and an agent for israel. I wonder if he is a target. It really shook me when I enlarged the picture just to see it and saw who was sitting there. At one time some years ago he was a neighbor. He was not well liked in the neighborhood and we all felt sorry for his wife.
