BREAKING NEWS ON CNN: POTENTIAL TERRORIST THREAT TO NY SUBWAYS
Yea I saw that too. Hope this report is wrong. Seems like she and Uncle Ted would vote the same on this one, no brainer.
"...It is here that we have to state that if you ask that computer any opinion about the Quran or space travel or cybernetics or any other subject, it can and will not give an answer until a programme providing for such an answer plus the necessary information has been fed into it. When Dr. Khalifa began to investigate the mystery of the number 19 in the Quran, he needed, first of all, to feed the Quran into the computer. He could then, with the appropriate programme ask for instance: "How many A's, L's, M's, R's etc. are in such and such a Sura" or "the whole Quran" and he would get an instant answer without any effort time-wise. He could also be informed about all combinations of letters that in some way bear a relationship to the number 19. He could, for instance, ask: "Which letters in a given Sura sum up to a number that is divisible by 19?"...

I'd hope, though just think of the bragging rights they'll have if they were to succeed even on high alert:(
Think about it...would a AQ foot soldier have this kind of info? This came from someone high up in the food chain I bet.

I'm trying to understand the distinction you're making.
To me, characterizing an improvised explosive device in a briefcase as "suitcase bomb" is close enough. How are the two descriptions different enough to warrant the claim, "subterfuge"?
You have to give Bloomberg credit, he's very good at making imbecilic statements.
what took you so long? LOL. thanks, i'll giver er a read.
That's interesting.... Doesn't leave much mystery.
This may be silly, but is Bloomberg Jewish?
Yup..
Another Freeper just mentioned to me that the OU bomber went to the mosque himself, even if the clerics or whatever denied it.
My guess is that this report on TM is related to this:

This is a report we probably need to pay attention to.
Philippine Police Intelligence Report: Abu Sayyaf To Use Women in Bomb Attacks
Report by Nancy C. Carvajal: "Abu Sayyaf to use women in bomb attacks, say police"
Philippine Daily Inquirer
Wednesday, October 5, 2005 T04:05:44Z
THE ABU SAYYAF GROUP (ASG), backed by the Jemaah Islamiyah, is set to deploy women in bombings in Metro Manila and other key cities, a police intelligence report said.
"ASG will utilize women muhahideens (sic) in the conduct of the (bomb attacks)," said the report sent from Camp Crame to local police units.
Mujahideen are Muslim guerrilla warriors engaged in a jihad or holy war.
The report identified targets as Metro Manila and the cities of Zamboanga, Pagadian, Kidapawan and Koronadal. The last four targets are in Mindanao.
The three-page report, a copy of which was obtained by, was disseminated to police units even before Saturday's Bali bombing.
Although the report did not specify how the women would be used in the attacks, it said that ASG leader Jaimal Sali, known as Abu Solaiman, had sent his lover to spy on and identify targets in Metro Manila.
The report identified Sali's lover as Hannah Daud, who also goes by the name Precella Adora.
"The ASG leader reportedly tasked his mistress to conduct casing operations in Metro Manila," the report said.
It said possible targets included commercial areas, embassies, seaports, airports, parks and malls.
An ASG member identified as "Yusop" and five others are reportedly already in Zamboanga City waiting for two boxes of explosives.
Fifteen more Sulu-based ASG members are expected to arrive to augment Yusop's group.
According to the report, a bomb attack on or before Fiesta Pilar on Oct. 12 will launch the series of bombings.
The Zamboanga City Cathedral was identified in the report as a target.
In Pagadian City, northeast of Zamboanga City, two ASG men have reportedly linked up with Moro Islamic Liberation Front Commander Akidin Abdulsalama to coordinate attacks.
The two men, the report said, bought an undetermined amount of explosives in the vicinity of Ticada Island, San Pablo, Zamboanga del Sur on Sept. 11, 2005.
The police report also identified ASG members Abu Ang and a certain Najib as participants in the attack.
"All the teams will make use of women warriors in the operations," the report said.
The police report said Jemaah Islamiya was providing support to the ASG but did not specify how.

DC is being flooded with PSAs telling folks to be prepared for a disaster. I'm hearing these PSAs 3 or 4 times a day on the local DC TV stations.
I wonder whether the insurgent would have disclosed the threat if he had been interrogated subject to the restrictions in the legislation that the Senate passed yesterday.
