#1 I wonder if Pakistan told us they got something out of (allegedly) recently-captured Younis al-Mauritani?

#2 I suspect, based on the POTUS Camp David flight diversion, that they've known about this for a while and they thought they could bust the plot, but they've faile4d. I sure hope they get it together in time or they're wrong.

#3 I wouldn't be surprised on the 10th year of 9/11 that someone would try.

#4 If they're going to try something, they'd better do it between now and the latter part of January 2013, when we'll have a President who will fight back instead of kiss their asses.

#5 More info:

"The official said the plot was believed to involve three individuals, including a U.S. citizen. U.S. officials believed the threat was a vehicle laden with explosives, but "the intelligence picture is not completely formed," the official said. "Not enough is known about the potential operatives and their plotting."

The threat is believed to entail a vehicle bomb, but "we cannot rule out other means," a U.S. official said.

A senior law enforcement official involved in briefings about the matter told CNN Justice Department Producer Terry Frieden that his best information is that the three individuals had not yet entered the United States.

The information came in around noon Wednesday, one official said."
