8 December 2003-- Communications found on a elusive jihad web site suggests attacks against NY, Washington and Las Vegas in the US, and London in the UK. A detailed communications suggesting the spread of weaponized anthrax in NY through disbursement from the air (skyscraper) and the placement of "dirty bombs" in NY and the other cities mentioned were furnished to federal authorities. The federal contact termed the threat "credible" and stated that various other foreign intelligence agencies identified the same or similar communications and reported the same to DHS authorities.

Frm the air. Seems to me the subwat system in NYC would be far better suited. Great. Bad weather means I take the subway.

We know about NBC, but what about ABC and CBS?

If they've got it, they'll use it. But we better not be pointing any loaded guns at captured Saddam thugs. The JAGS won't like it. True, we might lose NY or LA. But as long as the JAGS are satisfied that are soldiers aren't going to far, then I guess it's all worth it.

Anthrax. Impossible. Everyone knows it was an American scientist (sarcasm).

Just what is the "Northeast Intelligence Network?" DEBKA wanna-bes?

And this time, if something has to happen, let it be out west and see how the Hollyweird crowd reacts.

They would all say that it was the fault of Bush.

Anthrax? From a building? In this weather?

It appears that again we are blessed in our choice of foes.

I am convinced these terrorists are just complete idiots.

How would a skyscraper disperse anthrax? They would have to either drop it from a window which would be impossible because windows in skyscrapers don't open or they would have to just contaminate one building that has access to other buildings and subway systems etc. That is kinda far fetched. Letting it loose in a huge subway/train system like Penn Station and Grand Central would be more have a horrible effect because of the buildings that house the terminals and the millions of people that ride the train system.

Threat!? From what? Fear Factor?

[mhking]

More seriously, how would they accomplish this in a skyscraper?
