Officials said that the United States Intelligence Community has relayed information that Al Qaeda intends to launch an attack during the Id Al Adha holiday with 'soft targets' such as tourists likely victims.

The holiday is marked by an annual Muslim pilgramge to the Saudi city of Mecca.

Id Al Adha is expected to begin on Wednesday. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims, including Gulf Arab leaders, have arrived in Mecca for the Haj pilgrimage, Middle East Newsline reported.

Officials said that Al Qaeda could be planning attacks similar to those launched last year on an Israeli owned resoprt hotel in Mombasa, Kenya and a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia.

The attacks focus on so called 'soft targets' that contain Western civillians, mostly tourists.

Every nation or location that provides haven for these animals MUST be taken out.

Assist them...even if no more than "turning a blind eye"....AND your government will be disintegrated and then reorganized.

That is the only sane approach to ferreting out terrorists.

I don't really wish it, but poetic justice would be a hit on a French Club Med somewhere.

Special Ops should fire off one of Saddams Scuds at Mecca and blame the whole thing on him.

It's time. Are you ready?

LOL!!! Good one!!

[Lion's Cub]

What else is new?

They never hit anything but soft targets because they don't have the courage to fight like men. They are murderers playing "soldier", common thugs who only attack those they deem defenseless.

Yep, it takes a brave warrior to attack a nightclub.

[Johnny Gage]

LOL.. I have a simliar repsonse idea.

Then we need to begin with the INS. In Phoenix this week the INS was called for 30 illegals in the area and authorities were told to let them go because the INS was to busy to handle the case.
