Sounds like the intel indicates there is to be an attack in LA on Christmas Day.

But L.A. doesn't have any high-profile, symbolic targets. Of course, they might just want to kill the people on the plane.

The movie sutdios are targets. The downtown bank towers are targets. The new St. Vibiana Cathedral is a target, especially if Rome is the primary target.

L.A. IS a high profile target. The actual target building is not terribly important in this case, so long as it kills a lot of people. Los Angeles is on the West Coast, a liberal area so far free of any major terrorist activity. It is also a very well known city, like New York, that everyone in the world will have heard of. The PR value would be enormous.

There are plenty of commercial targets downtown, hotels near Disneyland, and large massess of people to hit. AQ needs to hit California if they intend to draw us deeper into this conflict, and they know it.
