Homeland Security goes on special alert

As the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 attacks nears, Homeland Security agents are on heightened alert for young Turkish Muslims who may be trying to enter the U.S. as part of an al-Qaida terrorist operation, WND has learned from counterterrorism officials and internal agency documents.

Meanwhile, agents are monitoring more than 20,000 suspected homegrown terrorists on the FBI's watchlist to prevent them from boarding commercial aircraft.

All of the individuals are American citizens or permanent legal residents "who have some relationship with terrorist activity," said Leonard Boyle, who heads the FBI's terrorism screening center in McLean, Va.

Homeland Security has programmed a computer system that screens inbound passengers for signs of terrorist activity to flag Turkish and other individuals whose passports show travel to Pakistan.

U.S. intelligence officials say jihadist websites indicate that hundreds of Turks have recently trained in al-Qaida camps in Pakistan, and may have sworn to carry out suicide operations against the West.

One website recently showed a martyrdom video of German-born Turk Saad Abu Furqan, who blew himself up outside a U.S. military base in Afghanistan.

Al-Qaida leaders in Pakistan have been creating cells with the mission of attacking Western targets, including the U.S., officials say. Osama bin Laden's deputy appeared in a video this week with a rifle propped up behind him. Officials are analyzing the tape for possible coded messages.

Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has warned that al-Qaida is trying to exploit a security loophole created by the Visa Waiver Program to sneak terrorist muscle into the country.

Germans, Brits and other European passport holders are exempt from U.S. visa security checks under the program. Such travelers, who are entered into the system as "WT" or "WB," do not require a visa to enter the U.S.

Hint to muzzies:

Stay where you are and kill each other and you can be happy forever.

Come over here and try to kill us and you WILL be exterminated.
Period.

Christ condemned his followers for violence and healed the ear of the soldier who came to arrest him.

NO PART of that fact fits into either Muslim or Judaic philosophy, which is still based on “an eye for an eye...”

I can forgive people for ignorance but not for violence.

One more thing:
The amount of flat out DECEPTION that is going on in the world now is unprecedented.

If the terrorists were planning an attack, chances are, they would already be here.

That assumes it is known when they began planning the attack, how much time is required for the planning and that part of the plan doesn't include laying low for several years as history has shown is part of the terrorists MO.

Let’s hope it takes greater and longer planning for a terror attack than it did a few years back. We’ve spent a large amount of money to detour those bastards.

One more bombing in America and every muzzie swinging dick will have to pack up his koran and family and go back to whatever hellhole they originated from.

Our ancestors didn’t risk life & limb to emigrate to this country just so a bunch of camel jockeys could come here, terrorize our women & children and make hamburger out of our families.

As far as terrorist attacks in America are concerned, we abide by the “baseball rule”...”three strikes & you’re outa here!”

Semper Fi,
