September 9, 201114 yr CNN says Obama has been briefed about a credible source about the threat of an Al Queda attack around the anniversary of 9/11. Is this something that should of gotten out to the public? Anyone flying Sunday, be prepared for extensive security checks.
September 9, 201114 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 8, 2011 -> 07:15 PM) CNN says Obama has been briefed about a credible source about the threat of an Al Queda attack around the anniversary of 9/11. Is this something that should of gotten out to the public? Anyone flying Sunday, be prepared for extensive security checks. I'm banking on it.
September 9, 201114 yr Author Sounds like they have been following 3 guys who entered the country a month ago and something about rental trucks and trying to track them down nationwide.
September 9, 201114 yr A little off topic but interesting if you work downtown. Would the Sears Tower have survived 9/11?

September 11, 201114 yr Threats posted on White House Facebook page Threatening messages have been posted on the White House Facebook page amid heightened alerts surrounding a possible 9/11 terror threat. "We'll come back U.S.A. One day only 11/9/2011," says one message, featuring a photo of Osama bin Laden, using the date/month formula to reference Sept. 11. "We'll come to u white house sooooooooooon," says another. "We'll come back 11/9/2011 to kill u all," a third posting reads. New York City and Washington, D.C., have tightened security after intelligence collected from overseas indicated a possible threat involving car bombs, as well threats to bridges and tunnels. The information indicated that three men would travel from Pakistan to the U.S. to carry out an attack. The threat has been described as "specific" and "credible" but not confirmed.
September 11, 201114 yr I was at the White House years ago, and it definitely didn't seem like a difficult target for someone willing to die.

September 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) Threats posted on White House Facebook page I'll be honest, with 9/11 being a Sunday, an attack didn't really make sense. It makes much more sense on Monday or Tuesday.

September 12, 201114 yr QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 11, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) Plenty of targets for the weekend. But I think you are correct. Unless they could get an attack done on Ground Zero or a football game, I think you get many more large soft targets when people go back to work.
