Regarding these major upcoming attacks -- this is serious, there are intelligence reports, as Ijaz said.
There are also a few other articles, for those interested.
One from the UK Times, about the UK giving out a nuclear threat warning, then retracting it, so as not to scare people, not because the threat isn't real. The link to that is:

And a revealing, and I think mostly true, article at Debka. I know some of you don't care for it, but for those interested, I think it's worth reading: "The Nuclear Threat is Real"

"Now the bad news is out in the open: the British public has been told the truth, however inadvertently.
According to DEBKAfile’s counter- terror sources, potential alerts registered in the second week of November include:
--- Possible nuclear or chemical attacks in North American, West European and Middle East cities. The alert for London pinpoints The City, government offices, the Underground and the Thames River.
--- In pursuit of massive casualties, terrorists may resort to bomb cars or kamikaze pilots. Ships loaded with many tons of explosives of all types – some containing nuclear substances – may crash into Western harbors such as London, New York, Tel Aviv or Haifa."
I won't post it separately, but Debka has a couple of articles about our CURRENT battles in Iraq -- just go to their main page:
