The National Terror Advisory System (NTAS), which has replaced the original color coded terror alerts, remains at a heightened level of vigilance amid reports that a specific and credible threat was identified Wednesday evening by U.S. intelligence personnel. Homeland Security has as of this writing advised that the threat is as of yet unconfirmed, and the office of the Secretary of Homeland Security has not issued an elevated or imminent alert at this time.
U.S. officials said Thursday they were investigating a credible but unconfirmed threat that al-Qaida was planning to use a car bomb to target bridges or tunnels in New York City or Washington to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the first tip of an active plot around that date.
Law enforcement officials were investigating three people who recently entered the U.S. The threat was received by the U.S. intelligence community late Wednesday night, officials said.
There is specific, credible but unconfirmed threat information, said Janice Fedarcyk, the assistant director in charge of the FBIs New York division. As we always do before important dates like the anniversary of 9/11, we will undoubtedly get more reporting in the coming days.
Security has been enhanced around the country in the weeks leading up to the 10th anniversary. Law enforcement officials have been wary, particularly after information gleaned from Osama bin Ladens compound in May indicated that al-Qaida had considered attacking the U.S. on the anniversary and other important dates.
The threat came in a single piece of information and was so specific and came at such a time of already heightened alert that it could not be ignored. The officials described the threat to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters.

Because of the security restrictions, the fans who would normally be carrying would have to leave their own sidearms in their vehicles or at home, so the only people on the scene (other than the terrorists) who would be armed are the LEO's assigned to the stadiums for security, and I can guarantee that the terrorists would have a plan for dealing with them.
There are eight games that kick off at 1pm, so an attack at each stadium, even if they "only" inflict 400-500 casualties at each, would easily surpass the first 9-11 in terms of casualties.
IF they were to blow the Memphis I-40 Bridge they wouldn’t have to inflict casualties. The residents of Memphis would use this as an excuse to riot and loot and would destroy the city by themselves.
p.s. Bensonhurst
And code pink would be out protesting the heavy hand of fascist response.
No rights were violated because we did away with the colored warning system.
Isn't that where.....?
A great scene from my favorite movie. And absolutely true.
Yup, Ralph and Alice, Ed and Trixie.
If you anagram ‘President Barack Obama’ you get ‘An Arab backed imposter’.
Hmm, I might have to use that. I'm working on a book dealing with the US being occupied by UN forces after suffering severe losses during a three-way nuclear exchange between the US, China, and Russia. My story was going to concentrate on the Midwest, Texas, and the Rockies, but I might have to add a New York/Northeast subplot.
My thought too...I believe nothing from these people.
So was this INVENTED at the White House
by the Impostor?
OR was the Impostor just warned (and it leaked)
from his 57 Terror states?

Not good, Pakistan has nukes.
