Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Imminent..

This is quite scary to think of-another terrorist attack occuring in the current weeks or months.
From Yahoo news:
WASHINGTON, May 18 American intelligence agencies have intercepted a vague yet troubling series of communications among Al Qaeda operatives over the last few months indicating that the terrorist organization is trying to carry out an operation as big as or bigger than the Sept. 11 attacks, according to intelligence and law enforcement officials.”It’s again not specific not specific as to time, not specific as to place,” one senior administration official said.
The officials compared the intercepted messages, which they described as cryptic and ambiguous, to the pattern of those picked up last spring and early summer, when Qaeda operatives were also overheard talking about a big operation. Those signals were among the evidence that intelligence agencies presented to President Bush in August about the possibility of an imminent attack against the United States.

This is really concerning to think that something much worse than September 11th is coming maybe to the US,Europe or the Arabian Peninsula.Is there much we can do to stop it?Your opinions?

RE: Stupidity

As the tomel corectly said No we have no threat from terrorists since we didnt step on their toes.. We did lead East temor operation but they are mainly christian so there is no islamic interest there… and even there .. we only entered east teamor Once Indonesia Agreed on Our presence. Therefore Djcross i dont have to close my ayes to make problems go away.. since we dont have a problems…. YET.. but our pointless involvement in Afganistan and blindly following USA into actions which only protect US interest (while at the same time US keep breaking WTO agreements and taxing our exports) and do nothing for us except hit our allready deppresed budget… well it may quite possibly give us problems in future.

RE: Stupidity

Never been recorded -indonesian terrorist groups targeting Australia.The recently uncovered JEMAAH ISLAMIYAH which has connection both in Malaysia/Singapore do not planned to attack any Aussie interest.Their goal is to created DAULAH ISLAMIYAH(An islamic hard core nation comprising Indonesia,Malaysia,Singapore,Brunei,part of Southtern Thailand and Southern Philipines).Try to imagine the newly created country military power-even the US would think twice before launch another Enduring Freedom II.Only the US interest in Indonesia were been targeted.In Malaysia-after 9/11-Malaysian police gaves extra protection to the UK/US embassy compound-Australia embassy-i do not noticed any paramilitary police units armed with M16/MP5 based there on a daily basis.

RE: Stupidity

Has not Australia a bit of a tussle with the Islamists in Indonesia? It seems that some of those benevolent folk would welcome a trip to see the 70 virgins by doing Canberra, Melbourne or Sidney. Ignoring the situation will not make it go away.

Stupidity

From CNN

“U.S. officials said Washington was the probable target of the plot. FBI Director Robert Mueller said the plot was in the “discussion stage” when the suspect, Abdullah Al Muhajir, was arrested. Mueller said the plot had not gone any further, to the knowledge of U.S. authorities.”

Aha… So in other words we have no evidence of him possesing any materials or know how he would get those materials, we dont know target, we dont know date we dont know how… we just know hes a “Evil Doer”… but we are not going to show even that evidence youll just have to take our word for that because we are on the side of ALL THAT IS GOOD (and god forbid we would ever lie to you… out track record is best evidence }> ).

“Officials said that when Al Muhajir arrived in Chicago, he declared having $8,000 but was found to have more than $10,000 in his possession. “

HE DID WHAT ??? THATS SO EVIL… YOU BAD BAD EVIL DOER ,, OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!!
(ps when i was going to europe i declared 5000$ when in fact i had 3X that much on me …)

“U.S. officials later said an “associate” of Al Muhajir had been arrested in Pakistan before May 8. It was not clear whether this was the “associate” Ashcroft referred to when he said Al Muhajir was working with someone in Pakistan on plans to build a dirty bomb”

Again We Dont Know crap all… But We are guessing.. that ought to count for something???

“Ashcroft said Al Muhajir, 31, would be treated as an “enemy combatant” of the United States, a move that means he has fewer legal rights than an ordinary defendant in a criminal case.

President Bush signed off Sunday night on the decision to treat Al Muhajir as an enemy combatant, senior U.S. officials said, adding the government faced a Tuesday deadline to decide whether to charge Al Muhajir in the federal court system or turn him over to the Defense Department”

AHA He is an enemy combatant .. So He has No constitutional rights even though hes a citizen of USA (and Oklahoma bomber did have those rights) yet as an enemy combatant we are STILL going to denie him right clearly deffined by Geneva Convention….. Now excuse us while we go and critissise whole planet about human rights abuse.

But its their citizen and let them deal with that idiot as they see fit. What is realy getting on my goat is the scear mogering the US has been doing. Take us down under for exapmle.. Or prime minister J.Howard right know visiting USA was told.. no he was convinced.. that we Australians must do our best (meaning throw more money and millitary support) to jointly combat terrorisam that is THREAT TO US?? Can anybody tell me name of terrorist grouop that has reason to target Australia ?? I cant think of one.. and same goes for the majority of nations that keep their fingers out somebody elses lives. Now as USA knows well if you do shaw your nose into other peoples buissines there are consequences and benefits. If you support One of the most Dictatorial regime In soudy arabia (at the same time 10x more democratic Iran is in the “Axis of Evil” go figure) the benefit is control of that nations oil resources.. the drawback.. well how many of the 9/11 terrorists are Saudy??

Yet on the other hand we in Austraila and people in many other nations who do not have troops where we are not wanted by 99% of population, we dont try to exploit other nations oil riches.. yet acording to US we should feel as threatend as they are.. Just Gimme a Break. Its very clear that White House is doing their best to make their problem (and problem of few other nations which comes with mendling into buissines of other nations and abusing their resources) seam as the problem of the rest of the world…and they are succeding ..

RE: Uncomfirmed – Smallpox in Pakistan

man of all the humanity, people should watch what they wished for. If you are hoping the US to screw up again so you can be satisfied in your inner dark heart, just be careful it may turn back on you

RE: Uncomfirmed – Smallpox in Pakistan

Smallpox was eradicated in the early 1970’s – one of the few things the UN did right, but there is an unconfirmed outbreak reported in Pakistan. Sounds like some of Al Queda’s biological warfare bugs got loose and infected the locals. It is only a matter of time until smallpox hits Europe and the Americas . This is serious stuff because the death rate is between 10 and 30% of the population.

RE: Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Immine

Well, the US said about an hour ago that they have captured an US citizen that was planning to detonate a radiological bomb in Washington. you can check it out on cnn, bbc etc

Wow, finally after all these ‘warnings’ and alerts they finally say they have done somthing significant, and prevented a massacre. It’s funny how Ashcroft said he was real proude on the FBI, CIA, that they worked so good together in this.
That really makes me laugh. They should always being working together, so there shouldn’t be anything special about it that they are!

I wonder if they will work together next time so close as they have been now, and also how long this cooperation will last.

Time will tell.

RE: Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Immine

What do you think about this:

If it happends : the Bush administration can claim : We told you !!!

If it doesn’t : The same guys could say : We took good protection decisions !!!!

In both case the winner is ……: BUSH !!!

RE: Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Immine

Recent video evidence has surfaced to suggest that some kind of retaliation is on the way, but the longer we go without it the more like a minow the Al Quaeda appear to be. They are fast losing their credibility as a fighting entity I think.

RE: Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Immine

God….And the UK as probable target. OK, relax….alert not panic. I have read somewhere, probable attacks on ships, churches, cinema and public places. Suicide bombers. colective panic to come and too many warmings. I still think, it will be hard for Alqaeda commiting something big. I don´t think the new video be real. Before the 11 sept. he wanted to crash a plane against our city cathedral because as you know, here is St James shrine and he was was a bad image for muslims because most statues of the saint are on a horse walking over muslims (on a horse) in a battle where the arabs were expelled from Spain. He (Ben Laden) wants to liberate us, the Spaniards (he thinks we are lost brothers, and he used to spend his summer holidays before going nuts in Marbella) from the cristianity and send us back to the Al-Aldalus time, when arabs occupied the whole peninsula except the Northwest. On the 11 sept, all planes which left the city airport weren´t allowed to overfly the city and the incoming planes had to follow the regular patterns. Two fighters were ready to take off in case something odd happened. Now the situation is normal….I find that confidence is not good. I include the city cathedral…..It would terrible missing it.

RE: Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Immine

Personally, I think that any organisation that can plan an event to the detail of using the American emergency telephone number, nine-one-one, as the date for their terror attack, needs serious consideration whatever vague clues come up about their plans!

RE: Second Wave Attack Is Reported As Being Immine

every month since 9-11 they have been issuing terrorist warnings.. I think thats just attention graber aimed at taking heat of GW Bush and the new scandal regarding his inaction to FBI warning prior to 9-11.
