Thread: Al Qaeda eyes bio attack from Mexico

An older post,not sure If It was ever posted here. This Is the first time that I have read It....


EXCLUSIVE:

U.S. counterterrorism officials have authenticated a video by an al Qaeda recruiter threatening to smuggle a biological weapon into the United States via tunnels under the Mexico border, the latest sign of the terrorist group's determination to stage another mass-casualty attack on the U.S. homeland.

The video aired earlier this year as a recruitment tool makes clear that al Qaeda is looking to exploit weaknesses in U.S. border security and also is willing to ally itself with white militia groups or other anti-government entities interested in carrying out an attack inside the United States, according to counterterrorism officials interviewed by The Washington Times.

The officials, who spoke only on the condition they not be named because of the sensitive nature of their work, stressed that there is no credible information that al Qaeda has acquired the capabilities to carry out a mass biological attack although its members have clearly sought the expertise.

The video first aired by the Arabic news network Al Jazeera in February and later posted to several Web sites shows Kuwaiti dissident Abdullah al-Nafisi telling a room full of supporters in Bahrain that al Qaeda is casing the U.S. border with Mexico to assess how to send terrorists and weapons into the U.S.


"Four pounds of anthrax -- in a suitcase this big -- carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the U.S. are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour if it is properly spread in population centers there," the recruiter said. "What a horrifying idea; 9/11 will be small change in comparison. Am I right? There is no need for airplanes, conspiracies, timings and so on. One person, with the courage to carry 4 pounds of anthrax, will go to the White House lawn, and will spread this 'confetti' all over them, and then we'll do these cries of joy. It will turn into a real celebration."

In the video, obtained and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, al-Nafisi also suggests that al Qaeda might want to collaborate with members of native U.S. white supremacist militias who hate the federal government.

Sean Smith, a spokesman for Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, said the U.S. takes such threats seriously.

"We can never stop being vigilant while there are individuals who seek to do harm on the American people," he said. "We continue to step up our efforts with additional personnel and better technology along the northern and southern borders and continue to strengthen our sea, land and air ports of entry."

Seems to me they would colloborte with the mexican drug cartels and smugglers if they're going to sneak in from mexico. Why is the border still open???

You know....this is getting old.

These people...allegedly responsioble for protecting our safety....see and hear these threats.Then they have the freaking nerve to try and minimalize them with stupid statements like this one......

No credible information that they have the capability to carry out the threat.

What would they have al queda do....prove that they DO have the capability or what?

Who cares if they've got "credible" information or not....a threat, is a threat, is a threat. To hell with Mexico's protestations, blow up the damned tunnels, put the military on our border and SECURE IT already, would ya?

Here is the video of the terrorist a-hole explaining his plans to sneak Anthrax across the border from mexico if anyone wants to see it.

If the video doesn't work just search for "The Chilling Message of an Islamist".

The arrogance of the speaker is just as mind blowing as the act itself.

Tunnels? Why would they need to use tunnels when they can simply walk across the border unmolested! Thousands of illegals do it everyday, carrying drugs and God only knows what else into this country.

This what is eventually going to happen, they are not going to get control of our border until there is a real tragedy, so sad isn't it? and only a matter of time, they are pressing their luck on this one!

I think your absolutely correct SOS! We can see it coming, the entire world can see it coming, yet our leaders refuse to secure that border!

They simply refuse to secure that border! God help these traitors if something happens!

I hate to say It, but unless our Federal Government starts taking border enforcement seriously,we will see a major terrorist attack via Mexico. Anyone that thinks the terrorists do not know how weak our border with Mexico Is are fooling themselves http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/ ... index.html
