Al Qaeda's Next Strike
By Fred Burton
Summary
Al Qaeda likely has a number of sleeper cells still embedded in
the United States, and logic dictates that Houston, Texas, is
high on their target list.
Analysis
In our last Terrorism Intelligence Weekly, Stratfor discussed
improvements in intelligence-gathering efforts that have aided
the ability of Western governments to predict or pre-empt
attacks. At the same time, however, the threat within the
continental United States -- where al Qaeda is likely to attempt
a major strike before the presidential elections -- also has
intensified. Logic dictates that Washington, New York, Dallas,
Houston or Austin, Texas, could be targeted in an attack that
quite possibly would involve a "dirty bomb."
Continuing with this line of reasoning, Houston appears to be the
most likely target.
Sleeper Cell Tactics
Concerns over the safety of U.S. citizens are legitimate. Well-
placed U.S. government counterterrorism sources have confirmed
the presence of al Qaeda "sleeper cells" within the country.
Although it is not known how many cells could be in place,
intelligence indicates that militant operatives are in place, to
be deployed for the next Sept. 11- or Madrid-style attacks.
Analysis leads us to believe that a cell could be in place in
Houston.

I'm just not sure that Houston would be the belly of the Eagle.
Although, we do know that the guard was shot in Freeport by the Middle Easterner...
