Threat Matrix: Daily Terror Threat - Thread Twenty-Seven

[drymans wife]

I know zilla, I have lost my hard drive to a lighting
storm months agp ant it is driving me up the wall. All
I can base things on are my memory not facts and I had so
much stored away. I would have been concerned it some
strange person would have looked at me hard drive and saw
all of the terrist sites.

""In recent months, Omar Bakri, head of recently disbanded Al Muhajiroun group, is one of most notorious Britain-based advocates of international jihad, and has used online chat websites to declare war on Britain" By Yaakov Lappin "

Did you happen to see John Loftus on Fox earlier today speaking about this group? He says they are based in Britain AND New York. They have been foiled before but some have gone underground and who knows what they are planning.

Like I say, I'm still skeptical of EOM. I think the creep is just gloating.

My personal alert level is going from yellow to orange. what complicates matters is the remnants of TS Cindy are starting to move though the area. So along with the increased alert we've got flooding to worry about. Sheesh!

[drymans wife]

Do you have anything please my dear on Philly and those
Pictures of the Financial District.

[appalachian_dweller]

HI JG,
they did find 2 bombs that didn't go off so these creeps where planning much bigger. I also heard this morning that due to all the celebrating last night (Olympic Games), that the subways were not as full as they usually are.

London got lucky is wasn't much worse. I'm still worried about follow on attacks there and here.

Thank you for reporting that link to DHS. You are truly fighting the battle for us!

I agree. This attack- though horrific- does not come close to matching the jihadi's descriptions of what to expect and does not match up with some of the more dangerous materials which were discovered in Britain. For example, a large chemical cache like that found in Jordan (some 57 chems) was found in Britain. Plans for their usage in the tubes were a concern. Use of radiological dirty bombs was discussed and evacuations planned for. Statements were made about how authorities would need to cordon off victims of a biological attack in London or other large cities.

I'm not sure the orders came from the top. I'm wondering if the cell or cells acted- then hoped the "top" would take credit.Recall that many times Muslims have been urged to kill infidels and anyone who supported the US in the Iraq war. I imagine the cell members were greatly affected by the infidel-bashing blather of their local Imans....

Something just doesn't seem to add up---these folks seem more like amateurs than seasoned terrorists who plotted and planned for years,,,,

"Muslim reactions to the London bombings Taken from a variety of Islamic websites:"

Could you please direct me to the messages of condolences to the victims?

I didn't think so....

[MamaDearest]

I just think the wrong message is sent to the enemy when you have Senators, congresspeople and the media sympathizing with the enemy and undermining the war effort from day one.

Those are the "stupid Americans" about which Al Qaeda writes. They have sadly misjudged the rest of us!

[Velveeta]

I don't post to google groups.
Will certainly keep watching the groups though. ;-)

[jerseygirl]

Will try to get pics.

The major financial areas in Philly are confined to a fairly small area in Center City. Market Street runs west-east and Broad runs North-South. Where they intersect is City Hall.
The areas north of Market and West of Broad comprise much of the Financial District. A large mall complex runs on Market Street- east of city hall- around Market and 10th. The major banks and such are in the Market street area west of city Hall, though Wachovia Bank (main office) is on Broad street south of city Hall.

There have been documented threats made against some of the financial area (Liberty Plaza section)- but mostly threats toward areas of the Old City- Liberty Bell, etc. These are East of City Hall. These are the "symbolic" areas...

[drymans wife]

Yahoo groups? or what?

[drymans wife]

Yahoo groups? or what?

[Velveeta]

Oh, sorry I misunderstood your question.

The post was from google groups here:
http://groups-beta.google.com/grphp?hl=en&tab=wg&q=

I just start putting in words like..allahu or ahkbar or akhbar...jehad...jihad etc and then sift through the stuff that pops up.

[Velveeta]

You're welcome, Mamadearest.
Any of us here at TM would do the same. ;-)

[MamaDearest]

Discussion on main London Bombing thread mentions that one of today's terrorists may have been recently relesed from Gitmo.

If true, that should make the liberals, ACLU, Amnesty International and all the human slime attempting to close GITMO very very happy; after all, isn't freedom for all the murderous detainees their goal?

[drymans wife]

I know this sounds silly a year later. But we would have expected this a year ago and where outraged ed when it did not happen. What is up is all I ask.

[DAVEY CROCKETT]

We know that they have stolen Nukes
from Russia, I am just saying we have to discern why
they weren't uses today with such an opportunity
= = = = = = = = =
There is a real possibility they have nukes, but why would they need them? Box cutters and homemade bombs are getting the job done with a lot less trouble.

IMHO Sorry to say this, there strategy is brilliant!

I am waiting for the next shoe to drop.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Yes, and these stupid Americans in the media, in government and everywhere have been my main bone of contention since 911 and especially since the war in Iraq started. They may as well side with the terrorists (insurgents to them, of course). It really bugs me.

[drymans wife]

Thanks, Velv
