US on alert over Al Qaeda cargo plane plot
The US Government has alerted officials nationwide to an uncorroborated report that members of Al Qaeda might be planning to hijack cargo aircraft and crash them into targets in the United States. America's Department of Homeland Security has posted a warning to state and local authorities around the nation and particularly to officials responsible for safety at nuclear plants, bridges and dams. A spokesman at the department said Al Qaeda could be plotting to hijack cargo airliners abroad and fly them into infrastructure targets in the United States. This suggestion has come from a single source and has so far not been corroborated.
Another probably false alarm — but the Bad Guys were bragging that other day that good Muslims should evacuate Washington, New York and L.A...
In a separate development, America's embassy and consulates in Saudi Arabia are closed today and for the immediate future after they received what was described as credible information, that terrorists in the kingdom had moved from the planning to the operational stage of an attack.
