FBI urges vigilance for July 4

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A constant stream of intelligence indicating that al Qaeda wants to strike the United States this summer or fall has led federal officials to urge increased vigilance during the Independence Day weekend, but there is no specific threat of an attack timed to the holiday.

We are the "Stotters" who make ourselves aware of the enemy who wishes to do us harm

Meet It!
Greet It!
Defeat It!

Recovered today!

Good luck finding the story

our collective accuracy rate for predicting attacks has been pretty dismal

Not recently ;)

JP, in all honesty, unless there is more to the story than what's in the email, the guy on the subway was a non-event. I always stand up in the NYC subway, regardless of the number of seats available, and I always remove my watch and tie clip before getting on the subway to reduce the incentive for criminal activity. Why do I always stand? Because I'm 6'2" and a very solid 210 lb., and therefore, I am less likely to become a target for theft or harrassment when standing tall as opposed to sitting short. Second, in the event of an emergency or other "incident" I can react a lot faster from a standing position than from a sitting position. BTW, I've ridden the "el" between O'Hare and downtown and I've always stood for the entire ride.

As far as the closing of the newstand, things like that have been happening since the newstand was invented. The reasons could be loss of lease, insolvency/bankruptcy, illness, merger/consolidation, retirement, security, or beauracracy, among others. Now if a bunch of newstands and gas stations start to close, then you may want to head for the fallout shelter.

What happened recently to increase our accuracy record? This is one area of my life that I want to be wrong, very wrong, completely and entirely wrong, wrong, wrong.

So that's two today? a Filipino and an Egyptian.

Unless someone got their wires crossed, yes.

Hey, I live in England! (Big clue in my name). 99.9% of my town is white but in the cities there are lots of people from ethnic backgrounds. I was in Manchester at weekend and noted the usual numbers of Asians.
