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.
I know MamaDearest. I watch it every night after watching Greta. I posted a link to the Lou Dobbs list of Outsourcing America to a thread on FR a month or so ago and I had someone jump all on my case saying I was distributing false info. Oh well, I guess they got over it.

Its been a month and probably a little over a month since Mansoor Ijaz first reported that OBL was in Iran. Mansoor reported that a few days prior to the Iran earthquake.
"Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told a packed house Wednesday at the Distinguished Speaker Series at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium that terrorists "will attack at a time we don't expect and in a way we don't anticipate.'"
Do you think he reads EOM or Daeelel ?
My word TexKat, and we didn't even have the Ten Commandments posted at that university. I fear for what this country will be like as my grandchildren grow. The destruction of our country has already begun from within.
Our courts, our judges and the liberals are killing us slowly and certainly.
Don't let the cliques get you down ever. We are here to stay - they can like it or lump it. This thread is here for all of us and we love you JP.
Gee I don't even know about that. The Motels are being run by people who can't even speak english. Tech support is being handled by India. And many things are just being tossed when they break. That leaves only a few service industries left that to work at.
Both Daleel and Traveller over at IH seem to have taken a very long break at the same time.
Distributing false information? Whoever they were, they need a reality check. I didn't see your earlier post, or I would have been informed much quicker than I was. There are always backbiting, complaining people. I think for a lot of them, that's all they have to live for.
