FBI Bulletin Warns of 'Spectacular' Attack
A "spectacular" Al Qaeda attack intended to inflict massive casualties and disrupt the American economy may be in the works, the FBI warned officials Thursday night. The bulletin, given out to authorities nationwide, does not tell where, when or how such an attack might occur. But the warning's blunt language was exceptional. "Sources suggest Al Qaeda may favor spectacular attacks that meet several criteria: high symbolic value, mass casualties, severe damage to the U.S. economy and maximum psychological trauma," says the alert.I wonder if this has something to do with Pepe Escobar's latest contribution to Asia Times? Pepe, not the most reliable reporter in the Mysterious East, picked up on one of the e-mail hoaxes floating around the internet and went to town. I'd just finished working it over, and went back to Asia Times to check something and they'd withdrawn it. If the FBI picked up on it, we're spending a lot of money, courtesy of Pepe.
