Heightened Security In Place At Penn Station; Attack Could Paralyze Transit Between Boston, Washington
Cops, Feds Armed With M16s On Patrol For Forseeable Future
###
The world's economic fears were violently pushed aside on Wednesday by another global threat -- terrorism.
A massive coordinated attack was launched in Mumbai, India just hours after the FBI warned that Al Qaeda may be targeting New York's subways and railroads.
If Al Qaeda terrorists have their way there will be chaos and mayhem here this holiday season, a mass transit bomb plot that would probably affect all the subway and train lines at Penn and Grand Central stations.
"The threat is serious, the threat is significant, and it is plausible," said Congressman Peter King, R-Long Island, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee.

NYC ON THANKSGIVING TERROR ALERT
Fellow New Yorkers, put your walking shoes on ........... hat tip GoE)
NYC - Thanksgiving Terror Threat
For those who may have forgotten we are in the midst of a war and that New York has sustained the single largest number of casualties in that war so far…
Federal authorities are warning law enforcement personnel of a possible terror plot against the New York City subway and train systems during the holiday season, and police are beefing up security in preparation.
An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says the FBI has received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al-Qaida terrorists in late September may have discussed attacking the subway system.
A person briefed on the matter, speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the intelligence-gathering work, said the threat may also be directed at the passenger rail lines running through New York, such as Amtrak and the Long Island Railroad, which are particularly busy with Thanksgiving holiday travelers.
A U.S. counterterror official, also speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to do so publicly, said senior government officials have been briefed because the FBI very recently received credible information about possible attacks over the holiday season, and authorities are particularly concerned about this long holiday weekend.

Intelligence chiefs were expecting Al-Qaeda spectacular
Excerpt:
Western intelligence services have been expecting an al-Qaeda spectacular terrorist attack in this crucial period between the end of President George Bush’s administration and the succession of Barack Obama.
Signals intelligence “chatter” in recent weeks indicated that Osama bin Laden’s terrorist organisation might be plotting an attack “to grab the headlines” before Mr Obama takes over in the White House on January 20.
British security and intelligence sources said there had been increasing concern, particularly in the United States, that a “terrorist spectacular” was on the cards.

Oh holy crap, that would be me.
I’ll need to watch the tracks. Is it a federal crime for me to do so?
Yawn. This is just the media hunting for revenue. If and when there is another attack on the US mainland there will not be a front page story to precede it on CBS or Drudge.
Double plus.
Amen.
Despite the fact that we KNOW there are Muslim “sleepers” among us, and that we have indeed broken up dozens of plots and thwarted so many attacks by Muslims here since 9/11, still we don’t round them up as we should...I’m with you, if we get hit again on our soil, it’s open season on Islamic ragheads.
Actually, I would pick the inauguration day if I were the Islamic planners. With three million in DC and total inability of the city to move these people out in any emergency...this would be the impossible emergency to plan around. Simply three or four carbombs and you’d have total chaos in the city. I think Al Qaeda will likely come up over the next 60 days and show various ways that they are still around and surprise everyone with their planning abilities. This sets the stage for Obama in January...to admit that he doesn’t have much of a plan....unless he continues Bush’s old plan.
It always comes back to this, doesn't it? For decades, Congress has failed us in ways history has yet to unfold fully, including officialdom's desire to show the world what "good people" we are by opening the country to entries of foreigners whose last interest in the world is the USA.WE MUST CONTINUE THE GOOD FIGHT through unrelenting reminders to Congress and the press/media that their corruption and errant reasoning won't go unchecked. Right must be done!
