Brian Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 A little off topic but interesting if you work downtown. Would the Sears Tower have survived 9/11? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 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.

Milkman delivers Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I was at the White House years ago, and it definitely didn't seem like a difficult target for someone willing to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes much more sense on Monday or Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I agree with you. Plus, adding another date would be a further reminder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
