Continued success approaching yet another anniversary ;)

News that I've caught up on that bothers me:

What Katrina taught Iran
'Others can create devastated war zone in U.S.'
(From WND bulletin)

Iran, which has experimented with missile detonations that can create nuclear electromagnetic pulse attacks capable of crippling U.S. electrical grids and computer technology, is taking notice of the devastation wrought on Hurricane Katrina.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards conclude the deadly storm has exposed America's strategic vulnerabilities, according to reports today on the Ansa-e Hezbollah website.

(Quotes)

"According the military documents, the unclassified title is 'Counter-Terrorism Special Operations Support to Civil Agencies in the event of a domestic incident,'" he writes. "It is another Top Secret/SPECAT plan directing the same special mission units to provide weapons of mass destruction recovery and 'render safe' in either a terrorist incident or in the case of a stolen (or lost) nuclear weapon. Render safe refers to the ability of explosive ordnance disposal experts to isolate and disarm any type of biological, chemical, nuclear or radiological weapon."

And the #1 story I'd like the crew's knowledge here and comments on:

Quotes:

Ramadan and nuke terror
Is 'American Hiroshima' set for October?
By Paul Williams

The next terrorist attack on the United States -- a "nuclear hell storm" planned for seven major cities – is set to occur in October.

That the word from al-Qaida.


In a communiqu to Osama bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the top al-Qaida lieutenant in Iraq, mentions the "Great Ramadan Offensive" that will create a "fateful confrontation" with the United States and Israel.
(dated May 30, was intercepted by CIA officials and remains on the Global Information System database that is accessible only to government officials with high-security clearance.)

"I think that the plans for the next stage of the jihad has reached you or will reach you in a few days," Zarqawi writes in the letter. "O God, make the plans of Osama come to fruition!"

"Allah has punished America with winds and water," one imam is quoted in the GIS report as saying. Another imam reportedly quipped that America, as evidenced by the natural disasters, is "under the curse of the Jews."

The fate of the world for the next Islamic year, if bin Laden has his way, will include the nuclear destruction of the United States.

Bin Laden has been amassing nuclear weapons and materials since 1992, when he was in the Sudan. This was substantiated by the testimony of al-Qaida officials in federal court during the hearings of "The U.S. v. Osama bin Laden."

Ramadan begins Tuesday, Oct. 4, and ends on Nov. 2. The Night of Determination will occur Oct. 29.

According to Muslim tradition, the actual revelation occurred on the night between the 26th and 27th days of the month. On this "Night of Determination," Allah determines the fate of the world for the coming year.

Note:
Elsewhere I've read this includes 7 cities and supposed date for simultaenous detonations is 10-29...

Anyone?!

Hi JP. Since WND and some others put out the October Nuke surprise report, I've been very skeptical. This is the 3d Ramadan for TM and it seems we are ratcheted up on rumors. AQ with nukes IMHO is low probability. A higher probability would be a country wide series of smaller attacks in malls, entertainment facilities (disneyland, etc) and sporting events.
