A couple of years back, there was the RUMINT that a series of terror attacks would begin in Europe and work their way towards the US. It didn’t occur at that time, but I’m wondering the latest British incidents could be the foreshock of the main event. Followup RUMINT from DEBKA (so consider the source) indicates jihadi comms similar to pre 911 and either the Spain or London attack. Also the release of the document stating that there will be a spectacular attack this summer. Thoughts or rememberance?
“...latest British incidents could be the foreshock of the main event.”
OPINION-SPECULATION: Probably.
As you know what I always say:
Jihadis are global.
The internet is the glue that holds their
communication network together.
Everyday is a jihad day for jihadis.
If there is a window of opportunity
and they have the means; they
will commit another attack.
Why?
Because it’s “jihad, another day.” -Cindy
“JIHAD IS EVIL.” -Cindy
I believe for carbombings to be successful they have to be a constant threat. It’s not going to work if you do one or a set every 6 yrs. People will worry, but life will go on. It will be interesting to see if this ends up being an isolated incident or the beginning of an organized mid/long-term campaign in Britain (or probably Europe as a whole). I think they are waiting for the other shoes to drop over there and we aren’t sure what’s going on. To “core AQ” this type of activity is pleasing and an overall goal, but it is probably not what they are currently planning for. All the background noise recently has been about a spectacular event somewhere... this recent episode doesn’t feel like it was it.
You’re remembering the Daleel and Eom posts.
They always stated that “it” would begin in London.
“here was the RUMINT that a series of terror attacks would begin in Europe and work their way towards the US”
Yes, I recall this and always look at European terror attacks as a possible set up for something large here. I suspect the terrorists really wanted to do so before now but have been interrupted repeatedly. Like those raptors in Jurassic Park, they will continue to attack.
