For this month of Ramadan a terror promise to hit 6 US cities was issued by bin Laden's right hand man. The US will not publish or televise bin Laden announcments but I hear the UK papers like the Guardian have.

The reason we don't repeat any bin Laden Vocal threats is that the administration is afraid they contain attack codes. Well. bin Laden said that 6 US cities are going to be attacked - I wonder what that is code for?

What I have seen this week has been a whispering campaign of an elevated terror alert but no inofficial increase of alert. AM radio jocks have screamed about it but for the most part there are only front page articles in our Gazette to prepare for disaster with checklists, kits and supplies and a few more talking heads on CNN as well as Bush vamping the terror threat.

NYC issued a subway terror alert today but different souces say the threat is either unreliable or credible.

There is no silent indication of an elevated terror alert. What I mean by that is sometimes there is no official increase of alert but all the advaced scan & search criterion at Federal workplaces suddenly go back into action.

AOL stopped carrying prisonplanet.com but other than that I don't see any blanket censorship except for not announcing the new bin Laden threat on TV.

Anyone out there have more pieces to the puzzle?

BBC news is reporting the subway threat as very real. 'Nineteeen suitcases' is being bandied about. But rumour will be rife. People told to be vigilant of those carrying briefcases or with baby strollers. Think I'd give it a miss for a few days.

Nice timing of this NY threat .... after Bush's noonday speech.

Karl Rove was indicted. Tom DeLay was indicted. Bill Frist is in deep doo doo. Bush's polls are low. So, surprise! We've got a new terror alert.

Do they mean 'nineteen suitcases' or 'seventeen nutcases'? Or just 'Teribus'?

If the US press doesn't report stuff, you can always use other resources. The Al Jazeera website is surprisingly good.

And that's how terrorists work. You don't even need to blow anything up, other than rumour out of all proportion.

The story that has slipped under the radar of massive TV coverage is a suicide bomber Unuversity student tho used the same explosives as the UK submay and shoe bomber to explode himself OUTSIDE the football stadium with 83,000 people attending.

This happened last Saturday at 7:23 PM

It certainly slipped under my radar but explains a lot.

The story is just getting legs on FOX and websites that had been closed are opening back up so one can read about the incident albeit delayed.

The State department has sealed the results of the search warrent of his apartment. The Justice Dept has claimed that ths was just a suicide and not a terrorist attack.

Video has shown him trying to enter stadium gate 6 on 3 occaisions but being turned away.

I must admit that this story has been rather muffled and is clearly at the heart of some of the terror alert anomolies I spoke of earlier.

this blogger even assisted in the bloody clean up of the explosion.

The other story that has seen little play since it was first announced on CNN involves a plane crash in Canada in which 4 vials of live virus was supposedly on board. That was later downgraded to 2 vials.
I do not know what the virus is or exactly when the crash occured.

The Karl Rove indictment is wishful thinking LadyJean. You will probably be correct in your statement soon. Ronnie Earle has bigger fish to fry than Bush's Brain.

Donuel -

The virus' abourd the plane that crashed were flu and herpes. Neither of which pose any threat to the public. When transported, they are placed securely inside a specially sealed container.

It does bring up the question of transporting virus' etc. by private courier. Not long ago, there was a courier crash that was transporting anthrax. Apparently, there are no plans to change the transportation procedures or methods.

Viruses are transported every day by air to regional and state labs for identification or verification, or to federal labs.
This has nothing to do with terror alerts.

"...flu and herpes. Neither of which pose any threat to the public."

Depending on what kind of flu you are talking about. If it had been the Spanish Flu which they have just reconstructed in a lab in Atlanta, the one that killed perhaps 50 million people back in 1918, it might have been a bit serious.

And I'm not trying to get people worried that maybe it was, just pointing out that "flu" isn't something to be taken lightly.

'Influenza' is a serious ailment - not to be confused with the sniffles, etc called 'the flu' by everybody.

As a reporter, Don, you leave something to be desired.

"The story that has slipped under the radar of massive TV coverage is a suicide bomber Unuversity student tho used the same explosives as the UK submay and shoe bomber to explode himself OUTSIDE the football stadium with 83,000 people attending.

Please: What University? What football stadium?

Same explosive that was used by Timothy McVeigh for his Oklahoma bobing - and that was assumed at first to be some Islamic jihadist.

University of Oklahoma, Ebbie - here

Mind, that question does rather suggest that there has been some kind of effort to sit on this to avoid panic.

The Spanish Flu has now been identified as a bird flu.

The flu vaccine, which we receive each autumn (being oldsters) is for a different spectrum of viruses. The vaccine is altered each year to counter the strains that investigators believe might be the most prevalent of the current crop of mutators.

Bush boy has called for the development of a vaccine against bird flu. This might not be possible until a particular strain is identified as the mutant that is spreading. Might be too late for many? Yes. But a vaccine that will counter all strains may not be possible in the short term.
Again, this has nothing to do with terrorist plots.

On the basis of the links provided by McGrath, so far it appears there is no basis to suspect more than one depressed individual.

Blowing it up further (no pun intended) is not helpful.

By doing so, you would only be giving credence to Bush's siege mentality, which allows him to suspend yet more rights of Americans and plays into the hands of those whose only reaction to any kind of perceived threat is to hit back, hard, at somebody--and it doesn't really matter who.

Which, as you might guess, is not likely to solve any problems.

There is no doubt that the neo con CIA/backroom agenda is advanced with every terror attack in the US. After 9-11 Bush referred to this in a cavalier manner by saying "its like hitting the trifecta".
Granting that the current US regieme and large portions of the media are united in an unholy alliance, it does not solve any problems to ignore the growing terrorist threat that is bred from Islamic fundamentalism whose flames are fanned by short sighted hard line US military expeditions.

There is an ill tempered elephant in the room being taunted by two vengeful and arrogant trainers. Ignoring the elephant is not the best option.
