| Feds Warn of 9/11 Attack on NY or DC |
| 2011-09-08 |
| Federal authorities have come across Suggests actual information - finally translated some page on Osama's computer? what they believe may be a credible threat to the U.S. homeland surrounding the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, several sources tell Fox News. The threat would target New York City or Washington, D.C., sources said. Authorities have obtained what they believe is information on possible suspects tied to central Al Qaeda, but they have not necessarily determined names of possible suspects. According to a senior U.S. official with knowledge of the threat, "People are aggressively pursuing leads," One would certainly hope so and it is "specific enough to elicit worry." Another senior U.S. official stressed the threat is still "unconfirmed" so it is being chased down and investigated. President Obama has been briefed on the seriousness of this threat, Boy, that makes me feel better according to a senior administration official. One does wonder whether this is being leaked in order to distract public attention from tonight's speach. Isn't that a sorry commentary? |

| #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." |

| #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. |

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

| #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. |

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