No specific attacks mentioned, but perhaps another signal to sleeper agents

Qaeda warns of more attacks on US, British targets
DUBAI, Oct 14 (Reuters) - Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda group vowed on Sunday to hit U.S. and British interests in retaliation for U.S.-led strikes against Afghanistan.
In a statement broadcast on Qatar's al-Jazeera television network, Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Bu Ghaith also warned Americans and Britons, especially Muslims, children and "all those who oppose U.S. policy", not to "ride planes or live in high buildings".

Good idea! but maybe you should pack pork rinds instead - sharp edges on that opened can...may not let you on the flight with that.

Won't happen. Al-Jazeera has a (gasp) Bureau Chief in Washington, D.C.!
Apparently, Al-Jazeera is broadcast out of the tiny Quatar, the only country that's donated $1 Million dollars to the victims of 9/11. Quatar made its donation immediately and with solicitation. Quatar was blasted by the Muslim world for doing so, but they stand steadfast.
Our spies should follow them around to find out where the terrorists are.
CNN considers themselves as part of the "world community" by their words and actions so dont except any *sincere* American patriotism out of them, its not going to happen. Like the UN they just happen to have their headquarters here.
It would be more suitable for them to be in Iraq than Atlanta.
Never let the b*****ds get you down.
Another poster pointed that out to me. Not to mention setting off the metal detectors. That's when all those years of hoarding tupperware containers comes in handy. :)
I wonder if they'll ever figure it out. The more terror, the more bombing. The more terror, the more special forces. The more terror, the less bin Laden. The more terror, the less Al-Qaeda!
"I will give each of you each one wish, that's three wishes total," says the Genie.
The Canadian says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada."
With a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' the land in Canada was forever made fertile for farming.
Osama bin Laden was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around both Afghanistan AND Iraq, so that no infidels, Jews or Americans can come into our precious state."
Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' there was a huge wall around Afghanistan and Iraq.
George W. Bush (A former civil engineer), asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."
The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 15,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the country; nothing can get in or out---virtually impenetrable."
George W. Bush says, "Fill them with equal portions of pig fat and concrete."
We already made this mistake once in Yugoslavia and wound up killing a bunch of young ladies working on the copy desk. Larry King had hoped to televise a live "snuff film" of one of their politicians being interviewed in the state TV studio in Belgrade as the cruise missile struck him, but someone tipped him off and Larry had to cancel the interview.
It was supposed to be "Larry King Live" and "Interviewee Dead." CNN was quite desperate for improved ratings at the time and would go to any lengths apparently to remedy the situation.
Al Qaeda Issues New Threat By ABCNEWS.com Osama bin Laden (news - web sites)'s al Qaeda organization vowed to retaliate for the U.S.-led strikes in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and warned of violence against President Bush (news - web sites) and other leaders. Al Qaeda also warned Muslims in America and Britain to avoid high-rise buildings or flying in planes. • N.Y., Nev.

Search ABCNEWS Audio/Video (Associated Press) Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden's organization, warned top U.S., British and Israeli leaders that their "blood will be avenged" and advised Muslims in America and Britain to stay out of high rises and planes. In a videotaped statement, al Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith threatened retaliation for the U.S.-led military assault on Afghanistan that began last Sunday. Abu Ghaith singled out President Bush; his father, former President George H.W. Bush; former President Bill Clinton; British Prime Minister Tony Blair (news - web sites); and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon (news - web sites). Al Qaeda, Ghaith said, declares that those men "are the top Zionists and crusaders criminals who committed the worst atrocities against the Muslim Umma [nation]: killing millions of innocent Muslim women, men and children. Their blood will be avenged from these criminals." Muslims living in the United States and Great Britain should be careful, Ghaith said. "We affirm and we advise Muslims who live in America and in England, [we advice] the children, [we advice] those who oppose the oppressive policies of the United States, we advice them to stay away from planes and not to live in high rises nor high towers," Ghaith said. The U.S. military assault was launched as a retaliation for the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the United States, when men hijacked four airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon (news - web sites) and into a field in Pennsylvania. Bush has labeled bin Laden the top suspect. The videotaped statement was aired by Qatar's Al-Jazeera satellite channel. ABCNEWS translated the quotes above. The Bush administration called the threats "propoganda." "The White House sees it as just more propaganda," White House spokesowoman Jennifer Millerwise told Reuters.
