Exclusive: Concern That Terror Teams Have Selected Targets, Ready to Strike
U.S. Weighs Travel Alert For Europe Because of Threat of Terror Attacks
Strong concerns that terrorist teams in Europe have selected their targets, completed their surveillance, eluded capture and are now ready to strike at airports and tourist attractions have prompted the State Department to ready a highly unusual travel advisory for Europe, multiple law enforcement and intelligence sources tell ABC News.
Intelligence and law enforcement officials have information that the teams could at any time launch a "Mumbai style" terror attack that targets civilians for death or hostage taking. The 2008 Mumbai attack used small arms and explosives to kill 175 people and paralyze the Indian city for days.
The current concerns are for scenarios that include opening fire at airports in Europe as well as executing similar attacks at "soft" targets like tourist attractions or hotels.
According to ABC News sources, the terror plotters have moved through the surveillance stage, checked back in with al Qaeda in Pakistan, and have received the go-ahead to strike.
Officials said earlier that Osama bin Laden had approved or blessed the attack plan.
The suspects reportedly include British and German citizens, who may be of Pakistani or Afghan ethnicity.
ABC first reported the threat of Mumbai-style attacks last week. Since then senior intelligence and law enforcement officials have continued high-level meetings to assess the intelligence and weigh the appropriate additional responses.
By Thursday afternoon the unusual travel alert became a topic for discussion. Officials say that when it comes, the alert is expected to be carefully and vaguely worded.
European and U.S. authorities first learned of the plot over the summer following the capture of a suspected German terrorist who had been training in Pakistan.
Intensified drone strikes in Pakistan have been confirmed as in part aimed at paralyzing the attackers.
Recent law enforcement operations within the United States have helped to flush out chatter that added to earlier concerns about the U.S. homeland as a possible additional target of the attacks.
Known targets are believed to include England, France and Germany. Additional European countries, including Italy and Belgium, are also targets, multiple sources say.
As the threat picture continues to unfold it appears to include the possibility of multiple coordinated attacks in multiple countries. As such, it would be the most significant al Qaeda plot to have reached the operational stage in recent years.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had no official comment, but sources say no change in the U.S. threat level is expected unless specific information regarding a U.S. threat develops.

Ironic, isn't it, that ABC publishes this "exclusive" on the same morning that they're preparing to run yet another large-scale whitewash of the ideology that gives rise to these mass-murder plots. Funny when part of their whitewashing involved having a "moderate" Muslim who has said that the flag of Islam will fly over the White House on the program. ::)

Hmm...well, if they target London, it will at least be interesting here.

Why haven't we nuked those motherfuckers yet.

Better question is, "Why do we keep sending $10 billion a year to Pakistan and waste countless hours training them when they have 7 ISI agents on the Taliban leadership council and are directing the insurgency against us?" It's amazing that we've let them play this double game for years now. Talk about fucking stupid.
Time to leave Afghanistan and give Pakistan an ultimatum that we will flatten every square inch of that country should the slightest possibility of their nukes falling into terrorist hands arise.

We would wipe out their shitty country and that's it.... It would show the rest of the countries to not fuck with us and Russia and China will not start some big global nuclear war.

It's not possible as Islam itself is incapable of moving out of the stone age. It will only happen when Islam ceases to be a relevant ideology.

It'll get better should Iran complete their bomb. I guarantee all their buddies in Hamas/Hezbollah/Syria will "somehow" end up with tech to make their own.

But Iran NEEDS nuclear capability! Do you REALLY expect one of the largest oil producing nations on the planet to be able to satisify their energy needs without it?

Haha. You would think they would spend all that time and energy learning how to refine and process their own oil. They're so inept that, despite all the oil they produce, they have to import their gasoline because they're incapable of refining any of it. ::)

I'm not worried about Iran.
They couldn't even install basic firewalls to keep Nuclear stopping virus' out... They are done.
Fuck that country.

I agree 100%. That, coupled with the fiasco that was their elections last year, makes it easy to conclude that they're incompetent everywhere. My only gripe is that the UN and others keep giving them a podium for their rants when they should be ignored like all the other dictator scumbags out there.
And did you see that they're blaming the nuke plant delay on a "small leak" now? Funny stuff. ;D
Pakistan is Public Enemy #1 in my book.

I trust an atheist, communist bully(China, Old Soviet Union, N. Korea) with a nuke any day over a religious nut with a nuke. Pakistan has nukes.

Would the world ever really be safe if people who are willing to suicide bomb others are the same ones that have weapons of mass destruction?

Yes yes, those darn fundy Christians, flying commercial jets into skyscrapers, blowing themselves up in buses and restaurants all the time killing innocent people, murdering anyone who dares draw a cartoon of Jesus Christ. ::)

Go back a thousand years and you folks were doing much the same. Secular civilisation had to tame you and get you out of power. Hasn't happened in the Islamic world yet.

Enough said. I thought we were discussing nukes in the hands of radicals. Go back a thousand years? Please! Heck I even trust India with nukes. Though they are very religious, they are not radical and they are very peaceful for the most part.

Damn, loco beat me to it.

The point was/is that nuclear weapons in the hands of those who look forward to the apocolypse are not a good thing.

Hahahahahahaha!
Europe's broken immigration system is to blame for this. They welcomed these people with open arms and are now reaping the benefits of allowing jihadists/extremists/terrorists to gain citizenship. The EU giving free movement to any citizen of its member states makes it a prime target.

And Ahmedinijhad along with the rest of his ilk have said on numerous occasions that such a result is desirable to them. So I ask you again, what the fuck is your point? What countries that have a nuke at the moment would you consider to be looking toward the apocolypse?

I don't see any right now... Although Pakistan is a front runner.
I'd go ahead and take care of it now... No point in dealing with them.

Ahmadinejad and the rest of his cronies in Iran actually want the apocalypse to come about as they're firm believers that the 12th Imam will return to save the Muslims when it happens. Funny thing is most people don't know that but they truly want the apocalypse to come.
"According to 'Twelver' Shi'a Mulims, Imam Hujjat al-Mahdī ( المهدى) is the twelfth Imam and the Mahdi, the ultimate savior of mankind. Twelver Shi'as believe that Muhammad was born in 868 and has been hidden by God (referred to as occultation) to later emerge to fulfill his mission.
Twelver Shi'as cite various references from the Qur'an and reports (Hadith) from Muhammad and the twelve Shi'a Imams. These texts predict the reappearance of Muhammad al-Mahdi which would, in accordance with God's command, bring justice and peace to the world by establishing Islam throughout the world.
Shi'as believe that Muhammad al-Mahdi will reappear when the world has fallen into chaos and civil war emerges between the human race for no reason. At this time, it is believed, half of the true believers will ride from Yemen carrying white flags to Mecca, while the other half will ride from Karbala, in Iraq, carrying black flags to Mecca. At this time, Muhammad al-Mahdi will come wielding God's Sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane, Zulfiqar (Arabic: ذو الفقار, ðū l-fiqār), the Double-Bladed Sword. This heralds the apocalypse.
As mayor of Tehran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is reported to have ordered the city council to build a boulevard to prepare for the Mahdi. A year later, as Iran's president, he budgeted $17 million for a blue-tiled mosque in Jamkaran that is directly tied to the Mahdi......."

I think there are a number of Christian fundamentalists in this country that would look forward to the coming of 'Jesus'; Pakistan is another rather unstable egg.

No moral equivalence here...just a fact that fundamentalist Christians have a lot of power in the USA.

Fundamentalist Christians haven't carried out over 16,100+ deadly terrorist attacks since 9/11. You can count the number of abortion-related murders since 1990 on your fingers.
It's amazing how these threads are constantly derailed into attacks on Christianity by people of your ilk. Happens every time. Good example of why Europe has a rapidly growing extremist Muslim problem.

I've always heard about some "christian fundamentalist" who wants that, but so far, I've never seen much proof of someone with power high in any government with a christian background trying to bring about the end of the world.
You "hear" it... but no one can point anyone out like that.
I think religions suck, and I think christianity and most of the people who follow it are pretty ridiculous, but Christianity has moved out of the 15th century and while they do not want to change a lot, they have progressed, they may want power at times, but they know without people, there is no power.
I just don't see it.

You only hear about it because they don't exist. For all the "fundamentalist Christians" out there, the 8 abortion related murders since 1991 speaks wonders about their ability to control themselves whereas the 16,000+ documented deadly terrorist attacks perpetrated by another religious group since 9/11 speaks wonders about their inability to control themselves.
For that matter, I've never met a Christian who wants the apocalypse to come about. But the President of Iran and his cronies are documented, on paper and video, talking about their desire for the apocalypse to come about so that the 12th Imam will return.
The moral equivalence argument is a good example of why this thread exists and why recently leaked reports highlight the growing number of radicalized European citizens who practice Islam.

People like Deicide pushed Christianity out of the way in Europe, opening the floodgates for radical Islam to take over the continent. Great job! How is that working out for you?

Does that also include clinic bombings?

I believe so.
Wikipedia list of abortion related murders:
Murders
In the U.S., violence directed toward abortion providers has killed at least eight people, including four doctors, two clinic employees, a security guard, and a clinic escort.[5]
March 10, 1993: Dr. David Gunn of Pensacola, Florida was fatally shot during a protest. He had been the subject of wanted-style posters distributed by Operation Rescue in the summer of 1992. Michael F. Griffin was found guilty of Dr. Gunn's murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
August 21, 1993 Dr. George Patterson, was shot and killed in Mobile, Alabama, but it is uncertain whether his death was the direct result of his profession or rather a robbery.[6][7]
July 29, 1994: Dr. John Britton and James Barrett, a clinic escort, were both shot to death outside another facility in Pensacola. Rev. Paul Jennings Hill was charged with the killings. Hill received a death sentence and was executed on September 3, 2003.
December 30, 1994: Two receptionists, Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols, were killed in two clinic attacks in Brookline, Massachusetts. John Salvi, who prior to his arrest was distributing pamphlets from Human Life International,[8] was arrested and confessed to the killings. He died in prison and guards found his body under his bed with a plastic garbage bag tied around his head. Salvi had also confessed to a non-lethal
attack in Norfolk, Virginia days before the Brookline killings.
January 29, 1998: Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed. Eric Robert Rudolph, who was also responsible for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, was charged with the crime and received two life sentences as a result.
October 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death at his home in Amherst, New York. His was the last in a series of similar shootings against providers in Canada and northern New York state which were all likely committed by James Kopp. Kopp was convicted of Dr. Slepian's murder after finally being apprehended in France in 2001.
May 31, 2009: Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed as he served as an usher at his church in Wichita, Kansas.[9]
