Al Qaeda Cell in the U.S. Or On Its Way, According to New IntelJuly 10, 2007 6:30 PM Brian Ross Reports: Senior U.S. intelligence officials tell ABC News new intelligence suggests a small al Qaeda cell is on its way to the United States, or may already be here. The White House has convened an urgent multi-agency meeting for Thursday afternoon to deal with the new threat. THE BLOTTER RECOMMENDSTop intelligence and law enforcement officials have been told to assemble in the Situation Room to report on: --what steps can be taken to minimize or counter the threat, --and what steps are being taken to harden security for government buildings and personnel. "It suggests they have information that the cell or cells coming this direction want to attack a government facility," Brad Garrett, a former FBI agent and ABC News consultant, said. Law enforcement officials say the recent failed attacks in London have provided important new clues about possible tactics. And officials say the London attackers use of the Internet left important clues that are being used to decode other e-mails that had initially been deemed unimportant but are now taking on new significance. A senior administration official said the level of concern of a new terror attack is now higher than it has been in some time, and the meeting this week in the situation room is one of a number that have been convened in light of the new intelligence and what happened in London. Charles Gibson: The obvious question, Brian, is how hard and how specific is the intelligence? White House response: After the attempted terrorist attacks in the UK, the US government convened meetings to discuss the situation -- that is what citizens should expect. There is no credible evidence of an imminent threat, however, and counter-terrorism officials regularly meet - that is not unusual. We are taking all threats seriously and working to ensure we can keep the terrorists from striking at innocent people.
Listen to Secretary Chertoff's remarks to the Chicago Tribune.

This just makes me laugh, What the government is saying is that they have a clue that something is going to happened, but they have no idea when and where, they just warning us that don’t be surprise We have 12 million illegal immigrants in this country
that needed to be deported, one or two Indian or Pakistani doctors or programmers coming in to this country to do harm will be very hard to find or catch. |

White House: No specific terror threat against US
Wed Jul 11, 2007 10:23 AM ET
WASHINGTON, July 11 (Reuters) - The Bush administration said on Wednesday there was no specific, credible terrorism threat against the United States and denied that an emergency meeting had been called. ABC News reported on Tuesday that the White House had called an urgent multi-agency session for Thursday to discuss a potential new al Qaeda threat on U.S. soil. White House officials said it was a regularly scheduled meeting and not attended by the most senior national security officials. "There continues to be no credible, specific intelligence to suggest that there is an imminent threat to the homeland," White House spokesman Tony Fratto said. "There is no emergency meeting," he said. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff had told the Chicago Tribune's editorial board his "gut feeling" was that the United States faced an increased risk of attack this summer. Fratto said he was not aware that Chertoff had made those feelings known to President George W. Bush. |

Or they're trying to keep the fact that they know more than they're letting on hush-hush. Or trying to prevent panic, or any number of reasons they'd send out misinformation. |

While at work listening to the radio all day. I kept hearing talk about this. And for the people to be prepared. I remember them saying over and over again each rebroadcast that the President was having a emergency special meeting to discuss the terror threat.
Also there was discussion about the Virginia bird flu. And I listend very carefully. And they said it was low path h5n1. But that they could not rule out if it was the high path. So I found that kind of weird. Since I thought they already said it was low. Or either the news guy made a mistake. PrepGirl wbz radio 10.4 am |

Which city do you imagine it would be, Mobile, Alabama? Of course not, it would be NYC, it's not only the financial capitol of the USA, it's the financial capital of the world. If it's happening, it's happening there. Wall Street is connected, in a big way to the other stock markets around the world. Take a look at a gold chart (kitco.com) and you'll see that the only time anything of significance takes place with gold, it's when the NY market is open, the rest of the day, it's ho-hum.

If Al_Qaida is able to rebuilt it’s self as an organization then whatever we are doing now is not working, all of billons of dollars send is a waste, this mean we need to change our current government because things are not working out Maybe we should outsource the security of our country to Chinese they could do it for a penny on the dollar and probably better
Here is the article on how Chinese were able to do in Pakistan maybe they can also catch Ben Laden |
