Al Qaeda has drawn a bullseye on a new American target: Subway trains
Washington Times ^ | Friday, August 11, 2017 | Rowan Scarborough

Al Qaeda is about to take on a new target — America’s trains — in an upcoming edition of its terror magazine Inspire. Issue No. 17 is headlined “Train Derail Operations,” and will spell out ways to create rail disasters in a transportation system that lacks the stiff security procedures of airline travel.

Its competing Sunni extremists group, the Islamic State, for more than a year has advocated using vehicles to mow down innocents. Its murderous followers have weaponized vehicles in Nice, Berlin and London, creating hundred of deaths and injuries. […]

The U.S. maintains over 100,000 miles of rail. But the trailer features scenes of just one system, the subway. It shows cars flashing through urban tunnels. It quotes from U.S. Government Accountability Office reports on the vulnerability of rail lines to sabotage. It then shows what appear to be rudimentary devices that can be clamped onto a line to cause a derailment. …

Well you certainly won’t read about this in the Washington Post. They don’t want to say anything that could offend muzzies.

The Japanese cult AUM shinrikyo attacked the Subway because it was a confined airspace.

they were using chem weapons specifically the nerve agent sarin as a weapon.

they had several open air tests attacks that failed but the subway one succeeded in killing I think 6 or 7 people. It also sent thousands to the hospital because the agent does not disperse.

it stays concentrated in the subway tunnels.

My guess is that they might have a nerve agent or something.

Deport all Muslims, and Brennan, McMaster, and all other Obama administration alumni. Problem solved.

The left will just write it off as payback for breaking sharia law.

Deport to where?

People like Brennan and Obama know too much. Risking them reaching Iran and aiding with their nuke program, or even aiding any other foreign power against the USA using their inside knowledge, can hurt our national security deeply. Problem exacerbated.

Mahometans belong nowhere, so there is nowhere to deport them to. Except perhaps “Jahannam”.

A magazine for terrorists? Is this a joke?

Any coupons or ads with sexy women in burkas talking about what makeuo to use?

What do they call that magazine? Hellfire?

Oh, Inspire.

Islam today seems to have a way of insisting IT WILL NOT BE IGNORED.

Any rational person would know that this escalating conduct is a way of pulling down the wrath of the West on them. Christian revival or no, and we might just be on the brink of one. In fact we’re going to need one, in order not to knuckle under to their “Allah.”

I’ve worried about this for years, having been a long-term commuter on the Washington DC Metro. Virtually no security, no defense against backpack bombs, etc.

They can be deported in either of two ways.

A) Deported to the nation of origin
or
B) Deported to the flames of perdition

I'd find either one or both equally acceptable

They are treading a tightrope here. They hate the West worse and worse, but the cumulative list of things they can get away with without a pushback seems to be slowly shrinking. The Wrath of the Awakened Saxon and that sort of thing.

You don't need something as exotic as an actual nerve agent. All you need is a gallon of Clorox bleach and a large container of Comet cleaner. There are several delivery means that would allow the person to set and time delay the activation.

The terrorist lives, in the kitchen.

I’ve avoided suggesting specifics for obvious reasons. Don’t let FR be a think tank for terrorists.

Yeah, this could be a mell of a hess. So to speak.

Well if they do, that will only hasten the tipping point of opposition against government officials who keep on pussyfooting around with this kind of problem.

A backpack bomber was foiled at the annual footrace in Spokane by a young woman who saw an unattended backpack on a park bench before the race and called police. It was indeed a bomb. How many other people saw it there and thought nothing about it?

Leaving a backpack on a bench where hundreds of people are lining up, giving their jackets, etc to family or friends, or maybe just leaving them on the ground...almost too easy.

Well I am (gratefully) surprised that we haven’t seen more attacks. Let’s hope you are right about the West’s growing resolve - though it still has not been really tested. Europe, I fear, is all but lost, save the Central Powers, which are showing backbone against the Muslim hordes.

Can you imagine the mass chaos that would be caused by coordinated suicide backpack bomb attacks in subways during rush hour in a half dozen cities? I’ll stop here because I don’t want to give the bad guys any ideas...

On average we are dealing with stupid people here. Let’s not educate them.
