U.S.—In what is being referred to as the biggest al-Qaeda terrorist threat since 9/11, tensions run high as it causes a worldwide travel bulletin, more than twenty U.S. embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East to close and as the Feds boost security here inside the United States.
The nation goes on high alert as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is increasing security measures at airports, train stations and other transportation hubs, and expanding scrutiny of visitors coming into the United States even though the actual threat is for outside the United States. The terrorist chatter intercepted between senior al-Qaeda leaders is reported as saying the planned attack is aimed at specific Western locations inside the Middle East and Northern Africa and quoted as “going to be big” and “strategically significant.”
Intelligence analysts are getting reports that possible terrorists might have bombs surgically sewn into parts of their bodies. The terrorists appeared to have a media plan for after the attack as well.
Some journalists have pointed out that exactly one year ago Obama went on record saying al-Qaida was “on the run” and boosting that Osama Bin Laden was dead. A year later, for the U.S. government and the State Department to issue a travel alert for the next month means the threat is serious enough that the al-Qaida threat remains strong and vibrant.
How does that relate to the latest news in Syria?
What mainstream media has not reported to you is the rebels in Syria that the U.S. has been supporting are in fact al-Qaeda forces (as evident in the video below).
Are we going to be drawn into another war with Syria like we were in Iraq?
