Imminent Attack?
The British government has raised its terror alert level from "substantial" to "severe," the second highest level, but it's not divulging the exact reason behind the decision.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson made the announcement Friday. He said it means his government considers an attack on British soil is likely and that security officials are heightening their vigilance. However, he stressed there is no intelligence suggesting an attack is imminent.
- Osama bin Laden endorsed the failed attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day and threatened new attacks against the United States in an audio message released Sunday that appeared aimed at asserting he maintains some direct command over al-Qaida-inspired offshoots.
However, U.S. officials and several researchers who track terrorist groups said there was no indication bin Laden or any of his top lieutenants had anything to do with or even knew in advance of the Christmas plot by a Yemen-based group that is one of several largely independent al-Qaida franchises.
- Osama bin Laden's word choice in the latest audio message attributed to him is seen as a "possible indicator" of an upcoming attack by his Al-Qaeda network, a US monitoring group warned Sunday.
IntelCenter, a US group that monitors Islamist websites, also said that manner of the release and the content of the message showed it was "credible" that it was a new release from the Saudi extremist.
"The Osama bin Laden audio message released to Al-Jazeera on 24 January 2010 contains specific language used by bin Laden in his statements in advance of attacks," IntelCenter said in a statement.
Anyone still think we should be treating terrorism as a "law enforcement" problem rather than a war?

Ethiopian airliner went down tonight 45 minutes after departing Beirut. Possible bombing? 90 dead onboard.
You should also mention that a lot of our search and rescue and various catastrophe and emergency management teams are tied up in Haiti and will be for the foreseeable future.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Be safe out there.
There not next, we're next.
ALL THIS AND OHARE REMAINS SERIOUSLY UNDER MANNED.
TYPICAL.
To be fair - Obama or McCain - bin Laden will attack whenever the opportunity permits. I think he could give a rat's patute about our economy, health care, etc.
and...thank god for the Brits - the only ones with good intelligence.
The Illinois State Police’s first Muslim chaplain, Sheikh Kifah Mustapha, is listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terrorism financing trial of the Holy Land Foundation and a member of the radical Muslim Brotherhood organization by the federal government, reports The Investigative Project on Terrorism.
The list that was drawn up as a result of the trial says that Mustapha is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee, a group set up to secretly support the Hamas terrorist group in the United States. He also worked as a fundraiser for the Holy Land Foundation until 2001 when the government shut the non-profit group down for financing Hamas. Prior to that, he worked for the Islamic Association of Palestine, another Hamas front that was shut down.
“It’s not clear whether the Illinois State Police knew about these connections and didn’t care, or whether it failed to adequately research Mustapha’s background. Either raises serious concerns about who will counsel the state’s Muslim troopers,” IPT says.
The IPT report says that Mustapha has also helped raise money for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, another group tied to the Muslim Brotherhood that was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, and the Muslim-American Society.
CAIR is currently the subject of a book by Dave Gaubatz and Paul Sperry titled “Muslim Mafia” that alleges the group supports extremism and engages in criminal activity including fraud in order to support Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
hey just as long as we are politically correct and dont hurt thier feelings.fucking dogs!!!
All indicators are not IF, but WHEN. That being said, don't believe the current admin of city of Chicago is going to protect anyone but its select few. Daley has his own version of continuity of government that does NOT include the general public.
Imminent attack?
Yet, the city hasn't even bothered to increase security at the airports after a guy tried to blow up a plane in Detroit!
All "smoke and mirrors" in this town waiting for something big to happen to us!
Red herring
We should stop dicking around with these people and send a message too all who wants a piece of us....I say make all three counties glass. This way you're sure to get all of them! And then maybe, they'll think twice and if not...do it again!
An entire nation goes on alert and we just sit back and do nothing. No word at roll call, no enhanced level of protection, intel, forewarning, no nothing. Just business as usual. Our false sence of security will protect us.
What will it take to wake this once great nation? Brace yourselves and your families. It's going to get ugly kiddies.
Watch how organized they are,and these are just younger kids with ak47's and gernades,this is from the attcak at mumbai india lots of destruction!

Yes, and our Airports are still guarded by just a handful of Cops with .38's and 9mm's. DALEY=COMMUNIST-TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER.
The mayor has cut back security at the airports. CPD is gravely understaffed and Aviation Police ( many retired CPD ) do not even have weapons!
He has diverted money need to buy flower pots and nice looking fencing that his friends sell.
Lets not forget, when a very high ranking official ( retired CPD ) questioned this and abut the money being diverted, he was canned.
BRING IT ON..MAYBE WE WILL GET SOME MANPOWER AND SOME RESPECT LIKE NEW YORK!CPD BT OFFICERS WILL PROBABLY STOP THE ATTACK BY KILLIN THE F ERS!!GIVE US A CONTRACT!!!!!!

Bring it on, a Terrorist Attck, so you can get manpower,respect, and a contract? Hundreds, maybe thousands of innocent people should die, or be seriously injured, so you can get some respect and better treatment?
You, my friend, are a seriously sick and stupid imbecile. Obviously you have never been to war, or personally witnessed a tragedy of Major proportions. If there is an attack, perhaps you, and your family , will be the first to be killed. Only then might your totally-stupid ass understand, you fuckin ignorant fool. I wish I could be the Supt. if you are on the CPD, so I could find out who you are, and fire you for Mental Instability, for being a total Asshole, and for being far too immature to be allowed the responsibilities of the Job. You are truly a sick individual.
They should enact the same warning system here. I'd say it is "imminent" 27/4 on the west side.
It will happen here soon, Chicago is now the center of the country. The president is from here and we have a large Islamic population. This town is target rich many venues for large gatherings, schools, week security at police and fire stations, and zero capicity to deal with what is certian to be a coordinated attack that will divide first responders who bounce from one incident to the next. Mass confusion is coming.
Burn it all!

You think putting more coppers at o'hare will make a difference? Come on! The people that want to hurt us will not let another bunch of copperes stop them! There are enough coppers at the airports we need more boots on the street!
WHAT ABOUT ALL THOSE LIGHT BARS BEING STOLEN ON NORTH SIDE??????COULDN'T BE TERRORIST RELATED COULD IT?????? IS THIS CITY SOFT OR WHAT??????????????
Maybe the light bars are going overseas...
....I'm just sayin'
Why don't we round up all of the Illinois politicians and offer them up to Bin Laden? In fact, let him have Obama too.
As a sacrifice or something?
WE R WAY UNDERSTAFFED AT MIDWAY TOO!!

The ruling class wants an attack on us. That way they will enact new laws to "protect" us.
I can't wait to use all that training they gave me at tara a few years back. Come to think of it, all I learned was how fucked we are. Well I guess we are right on course to our demise. Chooo Chooo!
Look around... If it happens here in Chicago, WE ARE FUCKED!
beware the ides of march, ppl i know personally in fed govt. stae there is suppose to be ground assaults in march whatever this means in various parts of usa
INTEL HAS IT ON "VALENTINES DAY" OBAMA BIN LADEN TO SEND HIS LOVE TO AMERICA. WATCH OUT FOR ARROWS.
I'm guessing you meant countries.
maybe we will get some manpower. oh i forgot all our tax money is going to haiti! what a joke
"Imminent attack?
Yet, the city hasn't even bothered to increase security at the airports after a guy tried to blow up a plane in Detroit!"
In case no one has told you, If it happens here, WE ARE FUCKED!
Why worry the under Obamas reign the Feds only questioned the Christmas bomber for 50 minutes, then read him his rights at which time he clammed up. According to Obamas Press sec Gates, 50 minutes was enough. WTF????????????
Time for a TARA II.
I attended TARA several months ago and found the information from the CPD instructors and the FBI very informative.
Don't worry!
We have TARA training and a whole slew of equipment to deal with any possible threat or scenario.
*snicker*
Did anyone ever stop to think that the city of Chicago considers it's initial responders (THAT would be the POLICE!) to be expendable?
Even after the lessons of 9-11 the idiots running the show here are too damn busy lining their and their friends pockets at the public till.
(what say you 42 extra-short? What's up with the 12 to 15 BILLION in municipal treasury that has gone *poof* since you parked your rotten ass in the chair?)
We can at least give credit to NYPD... Their shit is solid and definitely together in this regard.
Think self preservation and your families officers...
Have a plan... Have a back-up plan...
Oh well... We wonder what Streaming (Screaming) Video the Department will put up this week so they can check us off as "being trained" and get fed funding for?
The current system and the way it's administered stinks.
Oh yeah...
Feeb and media trolls, get bent.

What the hell are you trying to say?
Ethiopia is a majority Christian nation that has been involved militarily in Somalia. That couple with leaving from Beirut could very likely be a terrorist act. Then again, one wonders how old the plane was and what standard of maintenance a plane would get owned by Ethiopian Airlines. Could be just a crash.
My money is on QID - currently at 20.12 a share. Buy on weakness. If the markets take a tumble, QID rises.
The airports have already cut back on the use of elective time. K-9 working their RDOs.
Ethiopian airliner went down in flames. This may have been a test run to endure a success and avoidva failure like X-mas.
Daley has his own version of continuity of government that does NOT include the general public.
1/25/2010 08:15:00 AM
Watch for when Daley leaves town. And I do not mean for Michigan. He and his select members of his managerie will be well out of harms way.

I get a kick out of how officials come out right away and state they don't think it is terrorist related, like they did with this one too.

They're nothing but a big, self licking ice cream cone.

Do you remember the movie BLACK SUNDAY, wuth Charlton Heston and Bruce Dern.
Load up on beer, hot wings and pizza.

Hmmmm...
Follow the Brits on this! Their intelligence people are without peer, seemingly without ego and seem to work in concert and not engage in silly turf battles like the feebs do.
Their intelligence people tend not to shortsheet each other for headlines like the alphabet soup feebs do.
They don't have creatures like j. weis talking about "taking out" a line employee because he embarrassed agency heads by raising a stink about actionable Pre 9-11 intel that was ignored/sat on by the feebs and not passed on to the appropriate spooky/spy agencies.

Oh, yeah; a perfect smile is far more desirable than, say, knowing a group of fanatics plans to flatten your city.
Even with all the heightened security levels they're still trying to do more with less at O'Hare. The police unit at O'Hare is a good 25% short on manpower. Now with the O'Hare special employment they want you to spend the majority of your tour on the unsecured side. Isn't that what O'Hare supplemental used to do? They used to have coppers working both the secured and unsecured sides. Why not cut loose with some of that Obama Federal money and bring back the supplemental? This department is such a joke and Ritchie will stand at the podium and tell the public that JFed is really good with terrorists and that the city is well prepared. Not!
JFed and Ritchie: if you had any common sense you'd at least put more coppers at the airport. I mean whenever you hear of any of these incidents they are usually airport related. Let's quit with the smoke and mirrors and increase the special employment at the airports . It'd be the right thing to do so of course Ritchie and JFed will just ignore the drastic understaffing.
tick tock tick tock....
wakeup, this is a holy war!
Well if you want to be paranoid, how foes this make you feel: http://chicago.everyblock.com/crime/by-primary-type/motor-vehicle-theft/by-secondary-type/248/by-date/2010-01-01,2010-01-26/ ????
Security cameras show the plane just after take off and then a huge flash of light--explosion--and the plane drops out of the sky. But authorities don't suspect terrorism.
Some planes simply burst into flames and fall out of the sky when they are improperly loaded...with terrorists!
Hope it happens on my day off. I will head to my summer place 400 miles away and never look back.
Now with the O'Hare special employment they want you to spend the majority of your tour on the unsecured side. ...

WOrked O'Hare last month and was told they want us to work in FRONT of the security lines and only go into the secured area to sign the book.
So, now, instead of watching the people in line and monitoring what's going on at the point of entry, all I do is give directions, explain the luggage rules and send people to appropriate ground transportation.
WE HAVE REPLACED THE CIVILIANS who used to work the information booths. They fired them, but now that we're in front of the security lines, all the travelers come to us to ask their questions.
ANd don't suggest we blow them off and tell them we're the police and we it's not our job to give directions; the minute we're rude to one of them, the complaint numbers will fly.
Yup, Mr. Terrorist Expert Superintendent, put the few cops you actually HAVE at O'Hare out in front of the security line, where they're TOTALLY distracted from the job they are SUPPOSED to be there to do.

Since 9/11 more than 3,000 persons known or thought to belong to the Al Qaeda organization or its network of like-minded groups and cells were caught--most of them overseas. While a large number of suspected Al Qaeda adherents were captured during the Afghanistan war, most of the leading figures of Al Qaeda and their active followers in terrorist cells were arrested as the result of solid work by police and intelligence circles. Hardly a day has gone by without such arrests in Pakistan, a country that faces a large number of bin Laden followers within its own borders and in the mountains of neighboring Afghanistan. But as the Department of State's most recent issue of its yearly publication "Patterns of Global Terrorism" details, success stories have been plentiful all around the world and especially in western Europe, where many countries were targeted by Al Qaeda followers as well and, according the report, "European countries forged closer cooperative links with their neighbors. As a result, European authorities arrested a significant number of terrorists, disrupted planning for terrorist attacks, and intercepted funds destined for terrorist organizations."
While anti-French sentiments remain strong in the United States because of France's opposition to the Iraqi war, the fact is nevertheless that there has been extraordinary cooperation between American and French law enforcement since 9/11--not only with respect to the joint American-French investigation that was instrumental in bringing the would-be shoe bomber Richard Reid to justice or the sharing of evidence in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, the would-be 9/11 hijacker. Similar cooperative efforts led to the capture and trial of terrorists in the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Turkey, and a host of other European countries.

B-Ho had to put the market in its place. He and the daley crime family are still deeply invested in shortselling. They did not expect the market to do so well in 09.
Can a smart investigative reporter connect the dots???
Imagine the $$$ shortsellers would make with a market collapse after a terrorist attack.
Is daley that evil?? I wouldn't put it past him
If U don't know what shortselling is look it up.
Lets see, the south suburbs have the largest Palestinian population outside of Brooklyn, the north side has a huge Pakistani population, the cab lane at O'Hare is a rolling terrorist training camp, someone has been stealing squad car lights en-mass. Put that together and you have one hell of a terrorist attack in the making. A half dozen "fake" squads parked at a large event (Taste???) as VBIED's would be a tragedy on the scale of 9/11. Like someone said, its a matter of when not if.
This could be why the city is stocking up on coffins at various city locations, which could be seen through the windows. It's been all over the radio to be prepare and have emergency kits ready. www.ready.gov

What you were saying was..."In other words..." Not Another words. And it's physics not chem 101. You're not changing an element, you're changing the physical features of the same substance with the introduction of heat. Not to mention the use of a nuke. That would be a nuclear detination and not a chemical one. It involves the splitting of an atom or the fusing of two or more--fussion and fissle.
How about stick to the video games and fantasy land for now. Reality left your bucket long ago.
