U.S. Unsure if Election Terror Plot Foiled More than 700 people were arrested on immigration violations and thousands more subjected to FBI interviews in an intense government effort to avert a terrorist attack aimed at disrupting the election. As with past unrealized al-Qaida threats, law enforcement officials said Thursday they don't know for sure whether any of those arrests or interviews foiled an attack. "It's very hard to prove a negative," Michael Garcia, chief of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in an interview Thursday. "We did cases and operations for people we thought posed national security concerns. We didn't arrest...

We stood in lines, our voter registration clutched in hand and waited. And, it didn't happen. Some of us stood, sweating in the heat; others shivered in the cold or the snow or the rain. And it didn't happen. It didn't happen today, or yesterday, or over the weekend. It was something many of us expected, and it didn't happen. The al-Qaieda terrorist attack that many of us felt certain was headed toward America, DIDN'T happen. The blood didn't run in the street as had been promised. There were no bombs, no attacks; nothing but election lines and snafus. If...

Suppose there were al-qaida attacks at polling places tomorrow, and people stayed home out of fear. The Bush administration had tried to plan* for delaying the vote in this case, but the Democrats blocked it. When the polls close at the end of the day tomorrow, the early voters will have determined the results. 10,000 Democrat lawyers would be standing at the polling place doors to prevent them being open after the official closing time*. The federal government would have no way of stopping it even if only 20% of registered voters had voted*. Kerry would win. *http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3885663.stm US 'may...

..."We are concerned because a number of different threat reports we've received over the past few months indicate terrorists plan to disrupt the democratic process," said one official with access to intelligence reports.

Sky News reporter sparked fear with his audience when he started talking about election day attack.

On Saturday it will be 3 days before our election. Three days (72 hrs exactly) before Spain's election, two commuter trains were bombed with the loss of hundreds of lives. Spain's incumbent President was well ahead in the polls up to that point. He lost 3 days later to the challenger who had been running on a platform of withdrawing Spain's troops from Iraq ASAP. Al Qaeda learned a big lesson then. Terrorism can throw an election their way. Am I just being paranoid? I've been wondering every day for weeks now --- in an election this close, could two...

NEW YORK, Oct. 28, 2004 — A man describing himself as an American member of al Qaeda says a new wave of terror attacks against the United States could come "at any moment," according to a videotape obtained by ABC News.The tape was acquired by ABC News last Friday from a source known to have Taliban and al Qaeda contacts in the tribal region of Pakistan.

WASHINGTON -- Authorities across the greater Washington metropolitan area are planning for the possibility of terror attacks at local polling places on Election Day. Homeland Security officials have warned of a vague election threat, but haven't offered specific guidance.

In a worst-case scenario quietly presented last month by a joint CIA-FBI agency that analyzes intelligence, al Qaeda would use weapons of mass destruction to launch multiple simultaneous attacks on the United States and overwhelm the U.S. government. It was an extreme possibility on a menu of unknowns that had less-threatening options. All 535 members of Congress continued to work as usual until this week, when Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) shut his offices, sent his staff home and cautioned people against visiting Capitol Hill. The surprising response by the freshman senator from Minnesota to the latest in a series of...

. Does a Bush-Cheney Pre-Election Surge Trigger A Major Terrorist Attack ? President Bush has added to his growing election lead since last Friday's debate. and will presumably increase that lead after the third presidential debate. Consider these scenarios. If Kerry-Edwards manage to pass Bush-Cheney in the polls, then the Islamo-Fascist Terrorists need only to quietly sit by and watch Kerry win election. On the other hand, if Bush-Cheney maintains or increases their electorial lead, it's to the Islamo-Fascist Terrorist's advantage to hit America with a savage repeat of Sept 9-11, in an attempt to convince the critical "Undecided Voters"...

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Arab-Americans and Muslims in Florida are questioning the FBI's latest plan to interview people nationwide to uncover possible terrorist plots that could disrupt the presidential election next month. For the past week, FBI officials have held meetings across Florida with Islamic community leaders to explain a July directive from FBI Director Robert Mueller to seek new information about suspicious activity ahead of the Nov. 2 election. Although Arab-American community leaders said they understand the need for vigilance, they raised questions about the plan. "Our community is already afraid and jittery, because there has already been several rounds...

PHOENIX (AP) - With the final presidential debate in Tempe less than two weeks away, the FBI is increasing efforts to interview Phoenix-area residents, including Muslims, as part of a nationwide plan to prevent a terrorist attack before the Nov. 2 election, agents said. Susan Herskovits, the FBI's spokeswoman in Phoenix, said this latest push aimed to increase intelligence by contacting as many people as possible - not just Muslims. "We're worried about an attack on American soil," Herskovits told the East Valley Tribune. "It isn't really targeting any group."
