Inside the Ring: New al Qaeda threat (Lone wolf attacks in the heartland)
The Washington Times ^ | Wednesday, January 30, 2013 | Bill Gertz

Posted on 01/30/2013 6:56:03 PM PST by TSgt

A jihadist website posted a new threat by al Qaeda this week that promises to conduct “shocking” attacks on the United States and the West.

The posting appeared on the Ansar al Mujahidin network Sunday and carried the headline, “Map of al Qaeda and its future strikes.”

The message, in Arabic, asks: “Where will the next strike by al Qaeda be?” A translation was obtained by Inside the Ring.

“The answer for it, in short: The coming strikes by al Qaeda, with God’s Might, will be in the heart of the land of nonbelief, America, and in France, Denmark, other countries in Europe, in the countries that helped and are helping France, and in other places that shall be named by al Qaeda at other times,” the threat states.

The attacks will be “strong, serious, alarming, earth-shattering, shocking and terrifying.”

Under a section of the post on the method of the attacks, the unidentified writer said the strikes would be “group and lone-wolf operations, in addition to the use of booby-trapped vehicles.”

Anyone hazard to guess if Al Qaeda has been watching America's response to the Sandy Hook school shootings? Disarm law abiding citizens but continue to leave our children defenseless. Easy soft targets in the heartland with maximum terror impact. Mosques should burn if they attempt such a thing and I'll bring the gasoline...

The First Moslem, with the Blessing of Congress,
has meticulously kept the borders open for al Qaeda,
while the DO”J” has armed them under Holder.

Americans are in peril like never before.

You can bet if they hit schools there will be MASSIVE backlash not just against Muslims but the government. You know damn well they won’t react in any beneficial way. We may yet get to see what post-9/11 would’ve been like if Al Gore was president.

I fear that too. Almost as much as I fear the aftermath.

We could capture a half dozen of the miscreants, find that they don’t speak English, converse amongst themselves in Arabic, and CNN would still blame bitter Bible clinging TEA Party members.

Congress would respond by outlawing the Bible.

Well if they do pull one of those off it may stop any talk of more gun control in its tracks.

If al-Qaeda harms a single American child, it will be the fault of Obama, the TSA, the DHS and the liberals in congress who push their damn diversity agenda.
Any attack on the USA by al-Qaeda will the event that brings down the Obama Administration. The Conservatives will no longer tolerate this stuff.

What Conservatives? The ones that voted for Romney or the ones that stayed home? My faith in the American people is not as strong as yours my FRiend. Obama will arrive to comfort the victim’s families and say, “See, this is why we need to ban guns.”

This was their MO for Fast and Furious.

Booby trapped vehicles.......my nightmare is school buses. In my area shortly after 911, I noticed that bus drivers left their buses unattended in the far end of a Kroger parking lot, maybe upwards of two dozen. They parked them there after school drop off until afternoon pickup very close together, rows and rows, many with doors open. It would have been so easy to put bombs on or under these buses, all set to go off at the same time while kids were on them. I had to call the school district multiple times until they reluctantly listened. They stopped doing it for a while but right back to the same procedure. So to hell with it.

Why would any terrorists waste their time on airplanes when they are practically impenetrable and there are easy soft targets like the one you describe?

The DHS, CIA and FBI are incompetent if they can’t figure this out.

Much as I hate to say it but it will probably take attacks inside the borders for folks to wake up and realize we are at war and these folks want to kill us all...

They really are a little on the impatient side. Every day our “leaders” are destroying America just a little more without a single Al Queda operative needing to lift a finger.

If they do this, Sandy Hook will disappear from everyone’s minds, and we will remember that muslim terrorists don’t need to buy guns in our stores, or obey our gun laws.

If they hit a school Obama will declare martial law and the backlash against the government will have to be Civil War II.

This is why he’s making sure the military leadership has no qualms about ordering troops to fire on Americans. That is the next war he plans to wage. He’s got his bunker set up underground now, and he’s got his agencies well-armed. The border is wide open so operatives flown on direct unchecked flights from Iran to Venezuela can easily come wherever they want in the US to await the signal to attack, using whatever WMD’s they may have brought with them.

Those could be the attacks to trigger the martial law, or they could be to hinder patriots when CWII hits in full, or they could be used in conjunction with an Iranian EMP launched from Venezuela in order to complete the full communist-Islamist coup begun in 2008 with the Sept run on the bank.

As of right now our southern air defense to detect breaches of US airspace is spotty because the blimp force has not been maintained, and as of March 15th (?) they will not be in use any more. Drones have not provided the protection they were billed as providing, and provisions have not been made for drones to replace the blimps, according to a representative from Puerto Rico, who is concerned about the security lapse. That security lapse covers that altitude at which an EMP attack would occur, if I understand correctly. The very place and altitude needed for an Iranian EMP attack launched from Venezuela. And IIRC that is the altitude for which Iran has been testing its missile delivery systems.

So the stage is almost entirely set for a massive coup. Exactly how and exactly when is still open.

It would have to be more dramatic than 9/11/01. Most Americans just hit the snooze button and rolled over; within seven years, they elected a guy named "Hussein."
