SANAA, Yemen, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A purported statement by al-Qaida in Yemen warned Saturday of a "major strike" soon in the United States.

The statement, distributed by the Yemeni Tagamoo Party for Reforms, said: "A major strike, a big event will take place in America soon," reminiscent of the Sept. 11 attacks.

There is no one, and I mean no one, who wishes that is information is dead-dead wrong more than I do.

The calibre and number of people who have come forward with this info in just the past week or so that I know about is astounding!!!

May I modify that please...

IMHO, the next Terror Alert will go directly to a bright blue-white flash.

More than that I think. The book 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse by Collins and LaPierre sets the time in 1975.

Unless you're talking about another incident.

President Ford, when faced with this scenario, chose not to create panic by informing the public(what else could he do) , and apparently called the terrorist bluff.

Book did not make clear if a bomb was found, how etc.

Collins and LaPierre sets the time in 1975.

That sounds right. I lived in the Back Bay then I caught a whiff of something very serious going on.

"...is your new info coming from someone within the US military who says we have definitive knowledge of the existence of these devices..."

Yes!

I recall seeing this freak on some of the Fox News shows doing his freaky song and dance prior to the onset of Iraqi Freedom.

UN Official Denies Report of Bribes by Iraq

By Evelyn Leopold

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The former head of the U.N. oil-for-food program for Iraq, Benon Sevan, on Tuesday denied a report that he had received bribes from the former Iraqi government of Saddam Hussein.

The Baghdad al-Mada newspaper last month published a list of individuals and groups that it said had received crude oil vouchers from Saddam under the program, which oversaw sale of Iraqi oil and the use of the revenue to buy goods for Baghdad.

Sevan's name appeared in the report.

"I should like to state that there is absolutely no substance to the allegations made in a local Iraqi newspaper, now appearing in some international media, that I had received oil or oil monies from the former Iraqi regime," Sevan said in a statement.

"Those making the allegations should come forward and provide the necessary documentary evidence," Sevan said, adding that the papers should be given to the U.N. office of internal oversight services, which investigates corruption.

U.N. spokesman Fred Eckhard said Dileep Nair, head of the oversight services offices, the equivalent of a U.N. inspector-general, was writing to the Iraqi Governing Council and the U.S.-led occupation authorities in to request documents that would "help determine the validity of these allegations."

Eckhard said the oil-for-food program already had been "audited to death."

Under the program, meant to ease the impact of economic sanctions on Iraq, the United Nations had a special account for Iraq's oil revenues and used them to pay suppliers of civilian goods.

But Eckhard noted that Iraq was in charge of selling its oil and buying the goods so "we in the secretariat would not even have a way of knowing if there were kickbacks between the Iraqi government and their suppliers."

"We have a lot of confidence in Benon Sevan's integrity. But that is not enough," Eckhard said. "Show us the documentary evidence."

The U.N. sanctions and the oil-for-food program were halted last year after the U.S.-led invasion had toppled Saddam.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan (news - web sites) last week made similar statements, saying that if there were evidence against U.N. officials, the world body would investigate.

I do believe you. I think we are indeed in grave and imminent danger.

I just hope we get a "miracle break" finding the map of all the nukes and get them, before they can detonate any. IF they just detonate one or two, it will cause unimaginable damage -- if more, it will literally mean the end of the world, as we know it.

I agree with your earlier post too, that Clinton bears a huge responsibility for it, because he could have nipped the emerging terrorism in the bud, and didn't.

It will make several websites first. Some related info is in print, ie: the NEST teams searching.

Certainly wasn't a peep in the media at the time; I heard about it when the book came out.

Sharp of you to pick up signs.

Makes me wonder about the increased copter traffic around this area (Logan, NShore) recently. Even at night.

RE. the source -- with this kind of info, you don't publicize the names of people you got them from. Can you imagine the panic, if Tenet or Rumsfeld would stand up and announce something like this? There would be a stampeded out of the US, effectively crippling the economy.

Also -- we don't know whether or not NEST found any devices, they wouldn't publicize that either.

If nukes are shielded in lead, you can't pick up the radiation, that's the whole idea of lead shielding.
