US officials last night issued an urgent but almost absurdly vague warning against a possible “Mumbai-style” terror plot, referring to the November 2008 attack which killed 173 people over the course of several days in Mumbai, India.
The aim was said to be attacks on “economic or soft” targets, but exactly where or even approximately where is unknown, officials say the attack could be virtually anywhere in Western Europe or North America.
And exactly who seems even more vague, as officials say the “potential operatives” could be European, North African, Pakistani, Turkish, Uzbek, Tajik, or some combination thereof. Which covers a good chunk of the planet’s population.
Officials are also conflicted on exactly how much panic they are trying to cause, insisting there is no “imminent” threat of attack against any one target as near as they can tell, while tying it to Mumbai makes it clear that it is something meant to be massively concerned about.
Be afraid,BE AFRAID! Something is going to happen. Run and shout, run and shout.
Vague Terrorist threat, could it be that this the US Government making a prediction about a possible threat at the British Commonwealth Games in India. If it happens they can say see we told you so but if it doesnt well, it was only vague intel.
Makes the Pentagon look as if it has its finger on the pulse!
Obama is just like Bush.
A month before the election, and he's issuing 'vague but urgent' terror alerts. Just like Bush did.
What? No color code? Seems like there've been novels like this: captive tormentees are the pipe-organ on which the state plays, generating fictions that are like music to the ears of 'security' addicts. The US should be sure to destroy or alter the videos of those torture sessions… as few who watch them would believe anything they say again.
Is Osama bin-Laden behind the threats?
I want to warn everyone that I think winter is coming. I'm not sure when, or how cold it will be.
Govt officials predict with 50% certainty, that somewhere in the world, in the next 6 months (or at least through Nov 2), there will be a horrible terrorist incident.
This is helpful information and makes me more vigilant, not to mention very, very afraid. What's one to do? I get these messages routinely from the CIA through fillings in my teeth.
This is just abou the most blatant, egregious example of a security services 'plant' story I have seen in recent times. This time it appears that your security services teamed up with ours and the French and Germans to produce this. The UK govt. line is that in order to prolong this pointless war is that we 'must fight them over there so that we don't have to fight them over here' a line which has been wearing this with the public and even some of the MSM.
Journalists have sometimes to quote unamed sources – especially when they are from the security services. However, information from unamed sources should be treated with the highest degree of scepticism any such information should be backed up by independent information. There is not even an attempt at this in this story. The jounalists simply appear to repeat what is told to them.
The claimed source is, of course, a German Afghani who has been questioned in, of all places, Bagram where I am sure there was no pressure at all placed on him.
The policy of various state security services using well placed jounalists to 'place' stories which advance their own ends is by no means a new one. This story appears on its face to be such a transparent example of pushing the UK & US govt. lines that I'm surprised the media picked it up. Or am I?
I think I just saw part of the sky falling. Obviously, our intelligence services are being replaced by POD PEOPLE FROM PLANET X and the shipments of Tin Foil Hats I sent to all of the agents were redirected or the hats themselves weren't employed properly. Of course, they have totally failed to detect the obvious threat from TELEPATHIC ZOMBIES FROM THE 5TH DIMENSION and we'll soon be paying the price.
Remember this November, it's not who votes that counts- it's who counts the votes! Let's emulate the democracy we've brought to Afghanistan and Iraq- VOTE EARLY !! VOTE OFTEN !!
Epic
These lies will continue to get money from the treasury and CIA and FBI agents are paid for these vague reports.
Practically it is not possible to get a visa for Europe how? they can attack may be they will come as ghost to terrify agents.
Europeans are not such duffers as the american. You can make fool everyone in europe knows that administration i.e. agencies have plotted bombs in WTC to occupy oil in the world and humiliate Muslims because the major energy lies in Muslim countries but these agents are insult proof killers, killers and killers.
