Peter King: Plot most specific Ive 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.
Theres very little doubt, if any, that something serious is being planned, the New York Republican told CNNs Wolf Blitzer on a phone call in The Situation Room. Ive 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 Ive 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 its 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, thats pretty much whats 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.

Well September 11th IS coming up again. The Benghazi attacks happened "coincidently" on 9-11-2012 the Ubama Regime told us last year.
"Mission accomplished" - Barack Hussein Obama to the United Nations.
That’s the way the final assault on the Warsaw Ghetto started - as a birthday present to Der Fuhrer.
Yes... and about three days ago he reference an attack that killed thousands of Americans as if it were a foregone conclusion... I’d been trying to remember who said that.
It’s already closed on weekends.
I’m flying on Tuesday.
Now we are supplying them arms through Pakistan.
So....if they talk about attacking, that’s a REAL threat.
But, if they really attack, that’s just a PHONY scandal.
Anyone notice the absence of Pockeeestahn from the list?
They forgot Pakistan...
Why has holder’s doj come down so hard on Ray Kelly? WHY? I am telling you that while we are watching everywhere else in the whole world, they are going to hit us here. hard. again.
Thanks it’s been a long day. Needed to LOL
And they’re all in Muslim countries. I wonder if there’s a connection between Islam and crazy, violent people? Hmmm....
That’s the exact thought that popped into my head!
Pete King is a moron.
Yep.
Hate to say it, but the US intelligence services have lost all credibility.
Too much cheap talk coming out of the admin. Don’t like it one bit. Closing EVERY embassy is overkill. Doesn’t make semse. If you look close enough, this is a variatiom on the Benghazi theme with that stupid video.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.
Closing on Sunday? Barack and Kerry are just trying to do a cheap imitation of Chick Fil A.
