Serious 9/11 Ten Year Anniversary Threat

[amoeba15]

Homeland Security informed Obama and others earlier today that there are serious threats of bombs in cars, vans, vehicles in the NY & DC area. Police and Feds are working to find out more. Initial reports..Pakistan is the most likely area involving such attacks in the US.

One HUGE concern for the DC Metro has been, how Americans would act IF suburbs were attacked. Tis a HUGE reason why EVERYBODY must get involved and report ANY/ALL suspicious activity. Imagine the panic IF a bomb went off at a local school, hospital, church, homes in the suburbs. The fallout both financially and emotionally could be crippling.

IF this were to happen, what would this say about the tremendous amount of money that has already been spent and the significant amounts of monies that will be requested?



Investigators Assess Threat of Bombing Tied to 9/11

Counterterrorism officials on Thursday were assessing a report about the threat of an attack in New York City or Washington using a car or truck bomb and timed to the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, according to several officials briefed on the matter.

In a statement, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, Matt Chandler, called the threat “specific, credible, but unconfirmed.“ Another official said American intelligence agencies were urgently pursuing leads overseas in an effort to gauge the seriousness of the threat.

“It’s in the early stages, and a lot of vetting is being done in other places,” the official said.

At 9:45 Thursday night, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg of New York and the city’s police commissioner, Raymond W. Kelly, said at a news conference that the police would set up vehicle checkpoints around the city, increase bag checks on the subway and keep a closer eye on bridges and tunnels.

The mayor noted that the threat information had not been corroborated and warned against an overreaction. He declined to speak about the nature of the threat report.

“The best thing we can do to fight terror is to not let it intimidate us,“ Mr. Bloomberg said, adding that he planned to take the subway in the morning as usual.

President Obama was first briefed on the threat on Thursday morning, and members of Congress were briefed during the day, officials said.

Possible al-Qaeda plot against D.C., N.Y. investigated

U.S. officials are investigating a possible al-Qaeda plot to detonate a vehicle-borne bomb in Washington or New York City around Sunday’s 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

A handful of individuals may have entered the United States in recent days as part of the plot, which officials said originated from the tribal areas of Pakistan along the Afghan border. One of them may be a U.S. citizen.

Members of Congress were also briefed on what law enforcement and intelligence officials described as the first specific and credible threat related to the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The concern was amplified by the knowledge that before he was killed in May, Osama bin Laden had seemed fixated on attacking the United States again on or around Sept. 11.

The new intelligence came as security was already being ramped up nationwide, particularly in New York, where Obama and former president George W. Bush are scheduled to mark the anniversary on Sunday at Ground Zero inside what police call a “frozen zone.’’ Police are planning to cordon off the area for several blocks in all directions, forcing even residents to be escorted by police officers to their apartments.

In Washington, Police Chief Cathy L. Lanier said the public should expect increased security measures and more stopped vehicles.

Police officials activated 12-hour shifts in response to the possible threat and will continue the extended duty indefinitely, officials said. Officers will be passing out fliers to city businesses and storefronts, advising the public to alert authorities about abandoned or suspicious vehicles or suspicious people who are loitering.

WHERE THE HECK are the humvees and soldiers armed with weapons on street corners?

On 9/11, US soldiers and equipment were everywhere.

Remember, the DC Metro area has been experiencing lots and lots of flooding during Hurricanes Irene and now Lee. Emergency officials are everywhere helping people and their cars floating down parking lots, streets...IF our emergency response units are divided, the terrorists might be primed to attack when we are at our weakest.

Also, while everybody is trying to secure NYC, DC, Obama and other important elected officials..the suburbs are more open for an attack.

I can only hope and pray that the terrorist DO NOT attack our suburbs. IF they come to Woodbridge, VA..I will have several swords and a few canes with their names on them.
