| N.Y. Police Issue Terror-Threat Warning |
| 2004-08-01 |
| New intelligence that the al-Qaida terrorist network plans to attack financial or international institutions in New York City has prompted police to urge extra security precautions at various city buildings. The warning, announced Saturday night, didn't say how the attacks might be carried out or when they would occur. But ABC News, citing anonymous sources, reported Saturday night that al-Qaida planned to send terrorists across the Mexican border into the United States, and that suicide attacks were being planned in the city, possibly using trucks. The network said attacks may be planned between now and Election Day. The Republican convention begins in New York on Aug. 30. A woman with a South African passport was arrested near the U.S.-Mexico border last week when she tried to board a flight to New York with about $7,000 in cash. Officials told The Associated Press they were investigating whether Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed, 48, had ties to al-Qaida or other terrorist groups. |

| #9 Speaking of protestors covering themselves with chemical agents. From the Boston Herald: On Tuesday, police found another teen near the ``protest pen'' carrying a balloon filed with urine. The balloon burst on the teen when he was approached by police and the teen was not arrested. |

| #8 It is worth taking note no terrorist attacks took place for the Dems convention in the City of Boston, either through prevention by America's national security agencies ...or ...al-Qa'ida really wants Kerry-Edwards to win over Bush and the enemy is saving its terror for the time frame between the GOP convention and the November presidential elections. Now more than ever the FBI & police forces must continue the non-stop counter-terrorist war against the jihadists and their proxie supporters in the radical Left. Any leftwing 'protester' caught in NYC covering themselves with chemical agents, which the radicals have already hatched on their websites in an organized plot throw off anti-terrorist security forces, should be tried for conspiracy with the Islamic terrorist enemy. Examples need to be made. |

| #7 I was listening to the news coference about this with the mayor and police commish. Some reporter had the nerve to ask if it wasn't strange in this coming out only a few days after the democrat convention implying its all a setup to draw attention away from it. The mayor was polite but said no politics involved. |

| #6 The people I know in Newark aren't to be trifled with. I certainly wouldn't want to be a turban driving a tanker full of nitrates through the North Ward. |
