Peter King: Plot ‘most specific I’ve seen’ By: Breanna Edwards August 2, 2013 06:07 PM EDT
Chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence Rep. Peter King confirmed on Friday that “something serious is being planned,” prompting the shutdown of 21 U.S. embassies across the world.
“There’s very little doubt, if any, that something serious is being planned,” the New York Republican told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on a phone call in “The Situation Room.” “I’ve been getting briefed fairly regularly over the last seven or eight years at least and also pretty heavily before then and this is the most specific I’ve seen.”
“It is not just trying to connect the dots. That is very specific information about the fact that there is a plot, that attacks are planned, but again it’s not certain as to where,” he added.
King said that the information had been developing for a while, but remained tight-lipped about any possible sources and other details, mostly reiterating known information.
“[Al Qaeda] would be, I would say, the main driving force here, that’s pretty much what’s been confirmed by the government, that it is coming out of Yemen and it is Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula…where most of these threats do come from.”
The Republican also praised the government for its actions in closing down embassies and sending out travel advisories saying they were doing “exactly the right thing,” and he insisted there was no need for panic.
“You see unprecedented actions, 21 embassies being closed, the global travel advisory being given. This is being taken very, very seriously,” he said. “[It] shows how seriously our government is taking it and I give them credit. I think the government is doing exactly the right thing.”

Am I just missing seeing Israel on the list?
Oh, ya say they *closed 21 Embassies*...!?
Wow, gosh, yah, then IT MUST be *super credible...!
I mean WHO IN HECK would dream they’d needlessly make EMBASSY EMPLOYEES FEEL *UNCOMFORTABLE* or do extra work, right?
I mean, our government SURE CARES about Americans who work at foreign Embassies in dangerous places, right..?
WE ALWAYS TAKE REALLY GREAT CARE OF THEM...!
(stifled laughter bursts forth, doubles-over in red-faced laughter)
Looks like AL QAEDA is celebrating their leader (Obamatollah’s) birthday by killing infidels.
Again.
And the threat is just right after DC is evacuated. mhhm.
It cannot be AQ - Obama repeatedly told us that he had personally eliminated them.
Obama loves muslims. So he took away the bullets from the soldiers guarding these embassies and consulates so they can’t defend themselves. He’s just sending another message of submission to the muzzies.
Followed by Won and a Half man
Staring MO and B0
Maybe they’ll nike Detroit.
Oh wait, Obama did that already.
All in Amish country. Go figure.
Wow,never saw that.Thanks.
Besides, we know what happens to Americans under attack in our Embassies.. 0bama abandons them to die.
King’s actions haven’t made sense to me lately. I think the Obamabots got to him, likely through NSA sweeps.
Pure BS. The NSA almost lost a vote that would have cut off their funds for spying on U.S. citizens. A week later, the NSA’s best friends are talking up this terror plot. The NSA will take credit when nothing happens.
Funny they couldn’t do that before 9/11, Benghazi or the Boston Marathon attacks.
Are you Smarter than a Teleprompter?
Amen.
Isn’t this the Congressman Peter King (R) New York that fully supports NSA and anything they want to do gathering information or any kind of information on America’s citizens without warrants or cause? Be intresting to see if anything happens or if not we get an “NSA saved us again but we can’t give details because it will compromise us and by the way we need more money”.
Oddly, the Brits closed only one - Yemen.
