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.

God protect the USA.
With FAR LESS justification and NO ACTS OF VIOLENCE perpetrated by citizens of Japanese descent - we moved the entire Japanese population into internment camps for the duration of their “Jihad”.....
Why in hell are the Muslims treated differently???? Have we become too "civilized" to deal with murderous barbarians?
