The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said U.S. intelligence agencies had gathered detailed information about the plan, in which they said al-Qaida operatives would hijack foreign airliners and fly them into targets in the United States. In some instances, the intelligence is so detailed as to include specific flight numbers, they said

Or, it could be "red herring" stuff put out by Al-Q to mislead us and keep our focus off of what's really planned.

sounds like they finally are catching up on that backlog. They have made it to sept 2001. Only 2 years behind the curve they are getting better.

Makes you wonder when the intel specifically mentions a small VA town, with a pop. of 2,016, huh??

A small VA town accessable right from Chesapeak bay:

Right near Richmond, too:

'd be an intereting place to set off a dirty or not so dirty nuke and create widespread panic among the sheeple who currently think "I don't live in NYC so I'm safe"

Etc.

Hmmmm, the news just said that some AirFrance flights from Paris have been canceled due to security concerns.

Figures.... France is nearly an Islamic republic.  They've got no control over the Islamist populations.

France will be one of teh first European countries to adopt sh'aria law.  I hope we tell them to pound sand when they want to be liberated again.

That town could also be a landing spot for an infiltration team coming down from Baltimore (large port) in a small boat.
