Feds Announce Possible Terror Threat Around 9/11 Anniversary … “specific, credible but unconfirmed threat”

 

ABC News is reporting that new al Qaeda chief Ayman al- Zawahiri launched a terror plot for the 9/11 Anniversary. According to intel being developed by the CIA, that at least three individuals entered the United States in August by air with the intent to launch a vehicle-borne attack (car bomb) against Washington, DC or New York around or near the anniversary of 9/11.

Officials say the alleged terror plot was initiated by new al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden’s successor, who had pledged to avenge bin Laden’s death earlier this year in a U.S. raid.

Intelligence and law enforcement officials told ABC News that at least one of the individuals is a U.S. citizen and one official said that two of the individuals may have had U.S. documentation — whether green cards or passports was unclear.

The federal authorities have are warning local law enforcement that there is a  potential terrorist threat involving car bombs that could coincide with the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Department of Homeland Security has  confirmed that it had information about a “specific, credible but unconfirmed threat.”

Many more updates at The Jawa Report … including the press conference by NYC Mayor Bloomberg, NYPD and the FBI.

The NYPD will be taking additional precautions in response to the terror threat, including increasing its patrol by a third, setting up vehicle checkpoints, and working closely with the FBI to gain any additional intelligence, Police Commissioner Kelly said in a press conference with New York Mayor Bloomberg and an FBI official[...]

The public was urged to be extra-vigilant over the next few days and to report suspicious activity to authorities. Kelly said the city was preparing for extra calls of suspicious packages to the 311 hotline.

A source said the information comes from two separate threat streams.

The Department of Homeland Security acknowledged the latest threat in a statement, noting that intelligence gathered in the raid of Osama bin Laden’s compound after he was killed last May showed that al-Qaida is concerned with the symbolism of dates and anniversaries..

      “Until you get principle leadership in the United States of America that is willing to say that, we are going to be chasing our tail because we will never clearly define who this enemy is and then understand their goals and objectives, which is on any Jihadist website, and then come up with the right and proper goals and objectives to not only secure our Republic but to secure Western civilization.”

      Ronald Reagan – 40th President of the USA (1981-1989)

      “One legislator accused me of having a nineteenth-century attitude on law and order. That is a totally false charge. I have an eighteenth-century attitude. That is when the Founding Fathers made it clear that the safety of law-abiding citizens should be one of the government’s primary concerns.”

      One day when the politically correct/appeasing democracies of the free world have woken up … the following words of Geert Wilder … words meant as a warning … will be reflected upon. However … it will be too late.

      Omg #2, you’re nuts. Geert Wilder, seriously? Sounds like Hitler in the 30′s when speaking about the Jews.
      I do find it funny that you chose to quote one of the ultimate appeasers, Ronald Reagan. Lol. I’m not quite sure you know the definition of that word.

      Who’s the enemy Tamikosmom? Why skirt around it – come out and tell us exactly who YOU believe to be the enemy of Canada.

    10. Tamikosmom on September 9th, 2011 7:55 pm

      Rep. Allen West comprehends perfectly who the enemy is and the ultimate agenda of the enemy.

      Will it take another 9/11 for the democracies of the free world to get it?

      Could the dependency on oil be the catalyst behind the appeasing of enemy?

      In other words … has Islam has already won?

      “Let me say this … and I don’t care about being popular … what you’ve got to do is study and understand what you’re up against. This is not a religion that you are fighting against. You’re fighting against a theo-political belief system and construct. You’re fighting against something that’s been doing this thing since 622 A.D. — the 7th century — 1,388 years. You want to dig up Charles Martel and ask him why he was fighting the Muslims at the Battle of Tours in 732? You want to ask the Venetian fleet at LePonto why they were fighting a Muslim fleet in 1571? You want to ask the Germanic and Austrian knights why they were fighting at the Gates of Vienna in 1683? You want to ask people what happened at Constantinople and why today it’s called Istanbul because they lost that fight in 1453? You need to get into the Koran, understand their precepts, you need to understand the Sura, you need to read the Hadith, and then you can really understand this is not a perversion. They are doing exactly what this book says.

      Until you get principle leadership in the United States of America that is willing to say that, we are going to be chasing our tail because we will never clearly define who this enemy is and then understand their goals and objectives, which is on any Jihadist website, and then come up with the right and proper goals and objectives to not only secure our Republic but to secure Western civilization.”

      The Enemy Within

      New York, DC Beef Up Security in Face of ‘Credible’ Terror Threat
      Published September 10,

      Al Qaeda may have sent American terrorists or men carrying U.S. travel documents to launch the attack, government officials say.

      One U.S. official says Al Qaeda dispatched three men, at least two of whom could be U.S. citizens, to detonate a car bomb in one of the cities. Should that mission prove impossible, the attackers have been told to simply cause as much destruction as they can.

      Wilders tells the truth. Good, bad, it’s all based on which way you lean.

      In reflection upon the Anniversary of 9/11~~

      “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”

      Please remember all the first responders, all the victims of 9/11, their families and all the dedicated workers who stayed at Ground Zero until every last piece of debris was cleared, every family member identified.

      *~* WE WILL NEVER FORGET ~*~
