http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14848962 News of a specific, credible but unconfirmed threat to the US on the 10 year anniversary. Hopefully nothing, but I would probably work from home today if I was in NY... |

Oh please. Only the biggest fucking idiot in the world would do something on the tenth anniversary of the government's favourite propaganda piece. Anyone competent enough to pull off an attack would not do it then. |

Attacks are about fear and media coverage aren't they? 10th anniversary seems the perfect time to do it. What better "message" than a successful attack under heightened security. |

An attack a few days later, when the Government's going around with puffed-out chest saying "HA! WE SO AWESOME! IN YO' FACE, OSAMA!"? |

An attack that's actually successful? They don't need to attack anymore, anyway. We've long since proved that we're perfectly capable of mongering our own fear. Bah! |

I interpreted it as "We think it is possible that someone could try and do something, but we have no idea if that is the case, who would do it, and what they would do. But, if we say that we have credible evidence of a plot, then if someone is considering doing something, then there is a possibility that they will determine that we are on to them, and they will cancel whatever it is that they may be planning." |

I read it as WOOOO BOGEYMEN! Remember to focus on the scary terrorisms that might happen at any moment, and not the colossal fuck-up we've made of everything for ten years! |

Quote: Officials noted that documents seized during the raid of Osama bin Laden's compound on 2 May 2011 in Abbottabad, Pakistan, showed the al-Qaeda leader was considering strikes to coincide with the anniversary. I had only heard of this just now, I'm wondering is there are any nutters out there going "did he now..?" |

I get the impression that they have heard about something specific, on the news this morning they were on about three men and a car bomb plot. They don't seem to know if it's all just bollocks, though. |
