public release of a new message from Osama bin Laden, will lead off the next major al Qaeda terrorist attack, the WASHINGTON TIMES has learned.

The assassination plan is among new details of al Qaeda plots disclosed by U.S. officials familiar with intelligence reports who, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the killing could be carried out against a U.S. or foreign leader either in the United States or abroad.

The new details of al Qaeda's plans were found on a laptop computer belonging to arrested al Qaeda operative Muhammad Naeem Noor Khan of Pakistan, Bill Gertz is set to report in a page one blockbuster.

'We're talking about planning at the screwdriver level,' one official said. 'It is very detailed.'

Blame it on Bill Gertz. Bush needs to be extra careful on the campaign trail. On the other hand, this gives hillary cover for a late term arkancide and a wellstone replay.

This fits in with earlier info:

NSC Source: Terror Attack to Be in Early September

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1184073/posts

"an Al Qaeda operative has told British intelligence that the groups target date is early September, intelligence sources said yesterday.

The operative, described as credible by British intelligence, told his debriefers that the attack would take place '60 days before the US presidential election' on November 2, according to a former National Security Council official.

On September 2 President Bush is expected to address the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden."

If they want to influence the election, they would kill a dem, a likable dem.

The last likeable dem was already killed, on Nov 22, 1963.

Well, this is what they did before 9/11 with the Afgan resistance leader. I would imagine that the convention at the end of the month would give a target-rich environment for any terrorist.

I've always worried for W's safety, but this has the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end. =(

Well, that narrows it down to Zell Miller and Ed Koch.

Seriously, could mean leaders in Iraq and Pakistan, too.

Could be a foreign leader, Blair or Australian PM. Possible eastern european leader. Putin could be targeted because of Chechen campaign.

It was an obscure Anthrax case comment.

Anyway, I argue with some that AQ only goes after "mass casualties." Not true, they attack significant leaders also. Musharraf two or three times.

This is what's on Drudge:

"U.S. intelligence officials say a high-profile political assassination, triggered by the public release of a new message from Osama bin Laden, will lead off the next major al Qaeda terrorist attack, the WASHINGTON TIMES has learned.

I am beginning to feel that I am suspended in some kind of time warp. We are a country at war, we are a country that has been attacked, we are a country arresting terrorists and yet Kerry is talking about neighborhood watch programs. Apparently he thinks he's in a race for a seat on the city commission or maybe student council.

Interesting information you've posted there.

It just occurred to me who the "public official" in question might be. I won't post the name here, though -- so as to avoid attracting unwanted attention.

This is scary. Does not matter what party the official belongs to.....we cannot allow an assassintation.

I know folks who work for Republican officials.
One stray shot, one small ED, etc., and I could be dusting off my black suit.

What worries me most....now that they are reporting that we know they would like to do this.....they may decide to go after lower level officials. Even City wide or county wide in areas where the voters may be a toss up.

It is time to eradicate these Islamunist Terrorist from the globe.

IF the plan is so detailed, why don't they know if the plan is for a foreign or domestic leader?

Nothing on FoxNews yet but Amber Frye looks the best she has ever looked on their website...glow of motherhood I guess.
