ISIS plotting ‘imminent’ attacks on subways in US, Paris: Iraq’s PM
NY Post ^ | September 25, 2014 | 11:34am

Islamic State terrorists are plotting an attack on US and Paris subway systems, Iraq’s prime minister warned Thursday morning at the United Nations.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said he was told of the plot by his intelligence in Baghdad, and that it was from foreign ISIS fighters in Iraq, according to the Associated Press.

“I’m receiving accurate reports from Baghdad that there were arrests of a few elements and there were networks from inside Iraq to have attacks … on metros of Paris and US,” he said.

He said the attacks had not been thwarted yet, and he had alerted the United States. Al-Abadi made the claim at a meeting with reporters at a gathering of world leaders at the General Assembly.

The prime minister said that their intelligence division has captured several ISIS fighters, who revealed during interviews that French and Americans had been recruited by ISIS and are plotting hits on metro systems in Paris and the United States.

The MTA has increased uniformed cops by 30 to 50 percent at high-volume stations, is increasing random bag checks and is closely watching high-profile locations on security video.

Georgia allows concealed carry on local metro....including the airport (Hartsfield) on the non-security side....

However, I’ve always opted for the “better tried by 12 than carried by 6”

Stay safe and vigilant....

Situational Awareness.

It’ll give you indigestion every time. But, on the other hand, indigestion is survivable.

I guarantee you that if this happens, and the government finds out that the perps crossed the US Mexico border, it will NEVER BE REPORTED.

Lets say I call the police and say I had uncovered plans to bomb my local high school. Would that not be considered a bomb threat?

Basically, the Iraqi Prime Minister is guilty of a bomb threat.

Rep. Pete King (R-Long Island), who chairs the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, and is rarely accused of underplaying terror threats, told the Daily News that Abadi’s claims should not be taken seriously.

King said he spoke Thursday with officials in the FBI, Homeland Security Department and elsewhere after the Prime Minister’s claim aired.

“They’re all saying ‘no, there’s nothing to it,” King said.

“There is absolutely no evidence of it at all,” he added.

“People should not take it seriously until they are told by the NYPD, by the FBI, or by Homeland Security that there is something there,” King said. “And I don’t expect anything to be there

The next attack that occurs in the U.S. might I suggest that all mosques be blowed up?

Regardless of what Pete King says, the article clearly states that security has been raised at the subways.

In 6 years has Obama ever told us there was an increased terror threat?

By that twisted logic, a person who pulls the fire alarm of a burning building is guilty of arson.
