(AP) Iraqi authorities have obtained confessions from captured insurgents who claim al Qaeda is planning suicide attacks in the United States and Europe during the Christmas season, two senior officials said Wednesday.
Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad al-Bolani told The Associated Press that the botched bombing in central Stockholm last weekend was among the alleged plots the insurgents revealed. Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, in a telephone interview from New York, called the claims "a critical threat." Both al-Bolani and Zebari said Iraq has informed Interpol of the alleged plots, and alerted authorities in the U.S. and European countries of the possible danger. Neither official specified which country or countries in Europe are alleged targets. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/12/15/world/main7152700.shtml |

Meh.
Al Qaeda is much more compartmentalized than you think. Some peons in Iraq wouldn't have any idea if anything was about to go down in the US of A.

Good reason to shop online instead of the mall. Good reason to carry if at the mall. I made sure I had a spare mag when I went last week. Probably bump to 2 spares if I go back.

Does this mean the TSA will be doing cavity searches starting Monday?

Gotta keep everyone in a panic. Keeps your mind off of what they're doing.

I keep hearing how these clowns are 'well-trained'... how fucking well trained to you have to be to blow something up when you're willing to die in the blast??? Their ineptitude is truly mindboggling. I'll bet for every one bomb that makes it on target, 10 blow up in their garage wiping out the whole cell. But maybe that explains their anger. If I was that dumb... I'd be angry too. |

Has there been a year since 2001 where this hasn't been a rumor of attacks on malls? Maybe it took that long for it to make it to Iraq

No one will ever stop an Al Queda attack against CONUS with a firearm, unless it's LE busting the terrorists before they can execute. And AQ won't attack malls, or schools in the US. |

Quoted:
Isn't this becoming an annual threat? Yes. To hell with them. If they are going to do it, they are going to do it. I'm not going to stop doiong stuff just because some religious fucking nutjob criminal wants some news headlines. If they do have a go then it's just another excuse to bomb the cretinous tagnuts into extinction. Al Qaeda are just another bunch of paranoid islamic media whore rage boys. It's not like it's a new thing. |

I usually plan on visiting my family over the holidays. I did have a girlfriend once, who, while entertaining enough in a carnal sort of way, had a family that could drive you to strap on a vest and head for the mall. They were a nightmarish version of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation". The horror, oh the horror.

If I was that dumb... I'd be angry too. At least in the case of the US, the ineptitude comes from the fact that the current attackers are recruited by the internet and 'mentored', but not actually indoctrinated/trained in the military sense... They are going with the 'Hey, it's cool to be a Jihadi, join us' approach, reaching out through the web with a particular interest in US and European citizens, rather than sending guys trained in a camp in some Muslim country... |

They aren't going to search any muslim looking types anyway just so they don't offend any of them. A terrorist act happens on US soil, some middle eastern soil is turned to glass. It will only happen once more. |

International terrorists don't do that sort of stuff... Local/regional ones do. If Mexico or Canada was a radical muslim country, or we had a state that was trying to secede - then we might have to worry about that sort of shit... |

You see that sort of stuff in Russia, India or Israel - perpetrated not by the folks who are at war with us, but by other unrelated groups... It's a prime feature of local/regional terror... International? Bombs only. |

Israel is not the US, and nothing that happens there applies to the US. Different enemy. You know, Dave...you keep saying stuff like that as if you believe somehow the United States doesn't have a bunch of radical islamist fucksticks wandering around in it just looking for an opportunity to strike a blow for "jihad". It's as if you think there is a meaningful distinction between the radical islamist fucksticks who blow up Israeli buses and the radical islamist fucksticks who park a Nissan Pathfinder loaded with fertilizer and gasoline outside of a theater in Manhattan. There really isn't. Israel is faced with a bunch of radical islamist fucksticks who are willing to kill a bunch of people even if it means dying in the process. That those radical islamist fucksticks call themselves by a different name than the radical islamist fucksticks that want to kill a bunch of people in the U.S. even if it means dying in the process is irrelevant. |
