With the tenth anniversary just days away any one else think that there is a credible threat of attacks on the western world on september 11th, we know that these terrorists like to target key dates.

Savage Tyrant

As per each of the preceeding 9 anniversaries...

The_Kew_Tour

if they do it will be another conspiracy warfare

Goldenegg

Of course there will be a terror threat but the level of security on the day and days leading up to it is going to be X10000 heightened.

Wouldn't worry!

Laika1986

I like the way terror threats are exclusive to one newspaper

unitedrover

What key dates have terrorists targeted in the past?

If they wanted to target key dates don't you think they would have waited until the 11/11/11?.

Do we?

Rental trucks being sought and three suspects believed to have travelled from Afghan region.

Could be the usual chatter and heightened threat level reaction or maybe there's soemthing going on. Guess we'll see by sunday...

Helix

why would anyone do anything on, or near, the anniversary? that would be idiotic, and the guys planning this stuff arent idiots. if theyre up to anything id say itll be a case of put threats out there for around 9/11, let the authorities think theyve done a great job when nothing happens, then when the dust has settled and everyone is patting their backs, you get down to business

namloc1980

This is just Foxnews doing their bit to keep Americans in fear of their lives.

Woah.... don't be getting all logical.

They'll attack on a given day and the rest of us will then work out various reasons why it is significant.

Like if you add and subtract various numbers, it relates to various numerical features of the attact that we can hand pick or if Ken and Deirdre Barlow got married on the same date, stuff like that.

Wertz

From what's being said on the media (as much as you can trust them) the threat hasn't come from any source making a threat, but is intelligence based, citing the movement of certain people over US border and rental vehicles (which have been used in two building attacks on US soil in the past 20 yrs)...
Maybe it's all dry run or empty threat...it doesn't make sense to do it with security heightened but then again it's a bigger psychological blow if you do it when the US has it's guard up...

[edit] I don't think foxnews released classified briefing on the threat to senators at Obama's congressional address.

Oh my god. Everybody. It's time to take our money out of the banks. The euro is going to disappear in the morning!:eek::eek::eek:

Wertz

Missing rental trucks now discounted as part of any threat.

Mother nature is doing a good enough job of ripping up the 'states without the help of radical muslims.

At 11:11??

brendansmith

I reckon a bunch of goat testicle eating muppet terrorists in the desert probably don't share the same sense of occasion as the USA to be honest.

Stupid Americans scaring themselves to be sure to be sure.

Spread

FOX NEWS All the media like to be there first with the most idiotic scare stories. And FOX news watchers love to be scared. This is why scary movies are so popular. Katrina and Irene will also have 10th anniversaries. As will the Dow dip of two weeks ago. In the silly season or no news day ......... these will be analysed and hyped and have the over 70s reaching for the heart tablets.

Interesting excerpts: 3 trucks have been stolen Two of the trucks were owned by a construction company that operates at the World Trade Center site. They were reported stolen over a week ago.
"Whoever did it went to great lengths to cover their tracks," Browne said. "They cut lines to phones and surveillance cameras."

af_thefragile

I wonder who sends these terror threats.
Like the last thing a terrorist would possibly want is to say when and where he'ld be planning his next terror act. Its like sending the banker a letter stating the date and time when you're planning on committing the robbery.

And also couldn't the CIA with all their technological might not trace the terrorists who send them these threats??....


Either the terrorists or the CIA are some of the biggest trolls in the world...

It's okay.

McClane is on the case.

I Just hope Marvin has the plans...

What a Dulles story

LighterGuy

Hmmm,
I honestly dont know what to make of this Dulles thing. Knowing the Americans i wouldnt be suprised if its them just being security mad (knowing the timing) / blowing things out.

On the other hand? you never know. Might indeed be something (again, knowing the timing)

Apparently a bomb-sniffing dog alerted to cargo that was being loaded onto an aircraft.

If any terror happens today, I'll eat my trousers; it's too obvious.

But what about an attack here - on the internet?

Quite possible, no?

you need to consult someone in the FEAR business for an answer to that one James

you wont get a straight answer though...

LighterGuy

You never know if there will be incidents tomorrow/today. Not talking about 'terrorists' but crazy anti-american whack jobs. All it takes is one nutjob to blow up a bus or start opening up on people. But even within saying that the american media is blowing things out.

Convenient timing.

Nothing like fear as a tool for keeping the population in line.

I really wish they didn't release this threat on security. Today should be about remembering the victims now they'll be ignored and people will be fearful something is going to happen instead.

Can I ask those who claim that terrorists strike on significant dates what was significant about 11/09/2001 before the atrocity that day ?

28 Years since some bad stuff went down in Chile ?

Doubt it held much significance for Bin Laden though.

It was the day the Dictator Augusto Pinochet came to power in Chile with the aid of the CIA. 9/11/1973. That's the only thing of significance I can see.

It has been reported as a viable threat although not yet verified.

How could that be?
