Report: NYC/DC Terror Threat Involves Dirty Bomb…
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Just two days before the 10th anniversary, New York City is on high alert.
Federal and local authorities have beefed up security after receiving intelligence about a credible threat. The alleged plot by al Qaeda involves detonating car bombs on bridges and in tunnels in New York and Washington D.C. to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11.
Chopper 2 HD got a look at the NYPD in action on Friday — police cruisers and orange cones marked one checkpoint on the George Washington Bridge. On the West Side Highway, at one of the many checkpoints, police were stopping drivers and searching vehicles, specifically vans and trucks. There is also a threat to bridges and tunnels.
Security was equally tight at Penn Station, where armed guards were keeping watch over travelers as Transportation Security Administration agents performed random bag checks, swiping packs for gunpowder.
The crossroads of the world came to a grinding halt at various times Friday because for police Times Square has become the ground zero of the latest terror threat. Sources told CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer that another attempt to explode a bomb there is a key concern, and the intelligence suggests it could be a dirty bomb.
Based on informant information authorities are looking for three suspects. One is believed to be an American citizen. Two others apparently have U.S. travel documents.
Some of the information on the latest threat could be coming from Younis al-Mauritani, the man hand-picked by Osama bin Laden to develop terror targets in the United States. He’s a “most wanted list” senior al Qaeda operative who was arrested in Pakistan last week with his computer, BlackBerry and other tools.
Top security officials told Kramer this is the al Qaeda way. Their 1993 attempt to topple the World Trade Center failed, so they came back again on 9/11. Shahzad’s car bomb fizzled, so now they want to try again.
But that’s only half of the problem. Officials are worried that this time it could be a dirty bomb.

my opinion.
They should find the pukes making these threats, and they should shoot them in the head on the 6′o-clock news.
Prime time brains on the ground.
Put an end to this bullshit.
Anyone bother to thank our guys that nailed Younis?
I don’t recall seeing any news articles that a most wanted had even been captured.
Be safe folks….profile and watch your back.
Is Muslim immigration worth all this grief? I don’t think so.
I have expected something every 9/11 since 2001. I know that they stop potential attacks almost every day. But we are dealing with pure evil. I don’t think that they will stop until more are dead.
Muslim immigration is NOT worth all this grief. Much better would be allowing the Christians and other Muslim-PERSECUTED peoples from the Middle East to come instead.
Leave the fukkin Moozlims to themselves.
You said it Brenda!!! With all the people who want to live in this great country as proud Americans, why the hell are we allowing a creed in here whose hate book says to kill us????
Stop mooslum immigration to America and all Western nations NOW!
Death to pisslam! pisslam is the scourge of the planet!!! Nukes for meccaleccahighmeccahineyho!
But even if there are no attacks this time, they still win – innocent people are stopped and searched, traffic is disrupted, business slows down, everyone is anxious and worried, and the bill for the security is enormous.
Does it seem unusual that we’re getting all these details?
The WH gets the info before we do. I predict that if a dirty
bomb is detonated, Bam will somehow be on a golf course
(or at a campaign rally) at LEAST 500 miles from det-point.
He’ll be calling for martial law from the 14th green, or the
dais in a union hall. Captain America…always up to the
task.
Oh yes, Tadpole, it’s still terror!!! And as moehammy taught them terror is very effective!
Was reading google news tonight for mooslum propaganda and there’s an especially “tackylie” piece over on The Seattle Times tonight. If you want to give them some of their medicine, post on these articles!

I wonder if all those searching for these suspects have been properly trained by Homeland Security to keep a look out for middle-aged white men carrying briefcases.
We’ve had ten years to squish the terrorists like bugs and put the fear of infidels into their swinish hearts.. instead we have paid them billions in tribute, reconstructed their shithole countries, built their mosque barracks all over, armed them with the latest military hardware and weapons, imported entire villages of Muslims into the U.S., and then we scurry around in a panic when a bomb threat comes in.. it would have been smarter to squish them..
Katherine.. ha.. middle aged white males are probably all they are looking for, why offend the innocent harmless Muslims in our midst..
Yep, gots to agree, very funny Katherine, which I appreciate greatly, because after watching a 9/11 special tonight, my American blood is boiling!!! Then I came here and read this, and needless to say, I am fighting mad. No mooslums want to fuck with me! I’m telling them straight up, GTFO of my beautiful country!!! I’m a daughter of the American Revolution, and I don’t take my ancestry and all they fought for lightly!!! Death to pisslam!!!
You don’t have to worry…. cuz takin’ care of business is his name…

“Does it seem unusual that we’re getting all these details?”
___________________________
Yes it does, but a lot of things seem weird lately.
First, within a day of Congress announcing that they want to look into the Solyndra business, suddenly the FBI raids the premises and the chief executive’s home.
Second, the NLRB suddenly steps in and files a complaint against the Long Shoreman Union in Washington for their antics. When (to the best of my knowledge) the NLRB has never before filed a complaint against a union for criminal behavior. That is something usually handled by state and local prosecutors. Now, the case will probably be handed off to the Eric Holder and the Justice Dept.
Note that the NLRB did nothing when, a month ago, a union member shot a business owner who refused to give in to their demands. Nor did you hear a peep out of them when the union members attacked that black Tea Partier, and then when it came to trial, stacked the jury with union people.
Third, this whole mess with Fast and Furious and the musical chairs being played with the ATF managers. The Justice Dept’s refusal to comply with Congressional requests.
Fourth, Trumka visiting the White House every few days. And all three Union leaders flying on Air Force One with Obama.
There is some bad stuff going on. And it appears that we’re are being played in a thousand different ways.
death to pisslum and the politicans that allow this cancer in
I feel a gun grab coming
@GRIZZ
That would be all too convenient wouldn’t it?
You’ve got to get used to this, folks. Muslims will continue to flood the West and do as they please.
Your politicians don’t give a shit what you have to say about it. They will actually always side with the Muslims.
Why? Very simple: oil!
In fact if you look a few decades back, when did Europe open the floodgates to massive Muslim immigration?
Answer: late seventies-early eighties: shortly after the two OPEC embargoes that shook the world. Now the whole of Western Europe will soon experience what Lebanon and Kosovo went through.
Because of geographical considerations it took a little while longer for them to start invading the US. But now, there’s no stopping it. Unless the US elects someone who can’t be bought over oil. Someone who will give them the finger and start tapping into every single oil field in this country.
And by the way, that person isn’t Rick Perry. Or the shariah-compliant lard ass from NJ for that matter.
Great, just great. Why the hell do we continue to let Muslims into this country? They have proven time and time again they simply can’t be trusted.
Gee, I wonder if they are profiling muslims or just checking dangerous looking elderly women.
the illegal alien muzzie in the whitehouse has left all our borders open,hard telling whose in here,I think he knows exactly whats going to happen when. Read on obamareleaseyourrecords.com they have ran his fraudulent social security number through e-verify,came back as a mis-match,NOT a U.S. citizen. why didn’t they do that a long time ago????
According to Michael Moore, there is no such thing as a terrorist threat.
Really?
Stupid.
Chaban: More like someone who has the guts to drop a bomb on Soddy Barbaria and tell these heathens how it’s gonna be. People of the Western world unite!
Bloomberg suspects a Mennonite Tea Party sect using transfat laden bagles.
3,094 Americans have been killed by Muslims in America in 66 terror attacks. But the left would have us believe that WE are “Islamophobic” and we’re intolerant and racist.
Really?
In reality, it’s the left that has MENTAL PROBLEMS.
If they were right, then the dead would have been Muslims, not Americans.
More cultural diversity and enrichment, which will allow the “moderate majority” to whinge about “islamophobia” & “nothing to do with islam”for another decade.
Don’t worry, I’m sure the TSA will step up their groping of babies and wheelchair bound citizens. Extra surveillance on those racist tea party extremists as well. //
This arrogant little chunk of puke, Ahmed Rehab, who heads the Chicago branch of CAIR, tells us to get over 9/11.

9/11 babies 10 years later.
” I never knew him but I know I loved him” Girl Born on Sep 11 2001 reflects on the dad she never knew.
Ten years ago, a sad sisterhood of pregnant women gave birth to children who would never know their fathers because the men had perished in the holocaust of 9/11 terror attacks.
Now those babies are almost 10 years old.
They are children who were never able to share a living moment with their dads, but created memories out of ordinary objects such as a lacrosse stick, a biking jersey and even backstage passes from rock concerts.
Morgan Rodriguez still wears the firefighter medallion belonging to her father, Anthony Rodriguez. Ron Milam Jr. said he had his father’s basketball.
“This is a picture of my father,” Phelan Halloran told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer of Vincent Halloran. “I really love him. I miss him a lot. I never met him, but I know I love him.”
“This is a picture of him,” Grace Danahy said of a framed photograph of her father, Patrick, that played music. “When you wind this, it plays”
”He Knew Who You Were’
“I think it was her magical thinking that that baby is her that Patrick is holding,” her mother, Mary Danahy, said. “I think now it’s the reality that she knows. So I see it more in tears and a real, deep sadness.”
Danahy said she and her husband never asked the gender of any of their children before they were born.
“When we went for our Level 2 ultrasound,” she said, “I left to go to the bathroom. He [Patrick] asked the doctor what we were having and he didn’t tell me.
The doctor called me after he died to tell me. I always tell Grace that. ‘You know, Grace, Daddy knew you were Grace. … He knew who you were.’”

Ive been saying for years I think the next attack will be a dirty bomb, probly set off in DC.
I could see them using NY as a distraction of sorts.
And we should carpet bomb all of their “holy” sites with pig’s blood bombs.
Use one of the 747s being used to fight the Texas fires, loaded with pig’s blood, entrails and waste to coat Mecca a foot deep.
I don’t believe any of this – it’s a distraction. Watch the other hand.
F’k Bloomberg! Some may be upset when i say this, and i know its always best to air on the side of caution but, i’m not buying all this coming from DHS.
Everytime Obama gets desperate, we get some type crisis. America is and always will be the greatest country! We are not a stupid nation as the current administration seems to think we all are! In fact, it’s these very people who are desperately trying to change this country into those we are currently at war with.
The worst enemy we currently face is our on government. They’re the ones who are seeking to destroy our country and our way of life. I have total faith in the America people and country, i trust our citizens, and soldiers. I do not trust this government.
We have this far left administration, and all the far left fools, who want to remove the very thing this country was founded on our christian faith, They want our flag removed from everywhere, band Pledge of Allengence in our schools, band prayer at every function in our society, they even go as far as wanting to stop individials from having a flag on their on property! Dictate what we should feed our kids. We’re being striped down, and fondled in airports. Tracker on car, warrantless searches. According to DHS its the white middle Americans who are terriost.
Now, tell me should i fear some, some lone wolf, over the current government, and its friends. And besides Janet Politano says we should look for white man extremist.

I agree!
So, do folks still think the ground zero mosque is a good idea?
Definitely planned by someone familiar with American phobias. Think radon scares in homes. Think glow in the dark watch faces. Think frankenfood. Think Steve McQueen and the Blob…well, just kidding about the Blob.
Would be immensely easy to smuggle even a 747 across the borders. A little Cs-137 (caesium isotope, half life 30+ years, used in medicine) collected in South America much less some really something like U-234 (uranium) of a few million years.
An attack on NYC, for example, could easily be done outside Manhattan and rely on the wind to spread fear. Even tiny, eeny increase in radiation would likely drive the Left out of NYC. Think global warming orders of magnitude.
@Freedm_Fighter
Bloomberg does!!!
The ‘skepticism level’ of the US population(not in the tank for P-BO) regarding Dear Leader and his intentions/abilities is at ‘Red’. My gut says: Somebody’s image needs burnishing, what a perfect opportunity to kill OBL again. Really hope the gut is wrong.
Couric interview with Michelle Obama, 2008
Obama: You know, one of the things we can’t do in this country is operate from a place of fear. How are we going to reestablish our footing in the world and change conversations globally so that we … move to a different place in how we deal with issues of terrorism?
That we’re … instead of protecting ourselves against terrorists, that we’re building diplomatic relationships and we’re investing in education abroad so that we’re making sure that kids are learning how to read as opposed to … fight us.
The ultimate national security advisor.

Look at this B.S. THEY are the victims, not the dead and injured.
http://news.yahoo.com/arab-american-pushes-for-change-after-9-11-discrimination.html
The timing of the original announcement seemed suspicious to me. Obama had barely finished speaking when all of a sudden, breaking news.
I wonder if the MSM has already figured out how to blame Sarah Palin for this if it happens….?
I’m with Zcat. While I have no doubt of what Islamic terrorists are capable of, I view the bigger threat to be the government, especially as “can’t let a crisis go to waste” is their mantra.
Well they are dirty cities, after all. In many, many ways.
I wasn’t around December 7th 1951 but I don’t think Americans were running around 10 years after Pearl Harbor worried about a repeat by the Japanese… Just sayin.
They’ve been talking about dirty bombs for the past ten years. That sure would be convenient for the U.N. policy for global depopulation and another tool to bring economic parity (another U.N. objective).
@robert.
that’s cuz we dropped on Abomb on them and broke their will to conquer.
just sayin’
There will not be a safe mosque in this country if a ‘dirty bomb’ goes off. I believe there are enough Americans, like me, who are willing to put our faith in a jury trial.
Shamus O’Bumbler is creating crises to exploit for his campaign!
Part of the problem is that we cater to the Muslims that are attacking us. Look at Bin Laden, we made sure he had a “proper Muslim burial as per the Koran” – why? Because if we didn’t the Muslim world would be up in arms.
That alone shows the disparity – the contradiction – the insanity of the notion that Islam is a “religion of peace.” They’re only concerned with doing evil to destroy free-loving people.
They should be executed, wrapped in a shroud made from pig skin, and dropped into a shallow grave. In their twisted religion this would prevent them from reaching their heaven/virgins, etc. Anyone who protests should be considered a terrorist sympathizer and handled accordingly.
@steve O’ Malley
that’s because we are in an undeclared war.
or a war that certain people refuse to recognize.
{{{insanity}}}
@Fubar, My point exactly. Except for a lot of fighting occurred before the A-Bombs were dropped. We FOUGHT the war to win. We fought the war to break their resolve to do harm to us. We have NOT fought with the same resolve for the last 10 years. We are fighting a war trying not to hurt anyone’s feelings… 10 years folks, this is my point. 10 FKN YEARS in the sand box and we’re running around worried about another attack. Let that sink in.
I do not trust Janet Incompetano for an instant to block these threats. She’s done nothing but enable those who wish us harm to enter and stay in the US.
I feel all these details are being leaked in an effort to cover the asses of her, the FBI and DHS…
@ Katherine “There is some bad stuff going on. And it appears that we’re are being played in a thousand different ways.”
Nicely said.
I have no doubts that Al Queda wants to do something bad on the tenth anniversary, and we have to watch for it. However, our difficulty comes in having an administration that has proven it will “never let a crisis go to waste” to increase its own power. I wish I could say differently, but I think that this is foremost in their collective minds when it comes to the war on “man caused disasters.” There are scores of examples and many of them have posted on this blog.
I can’t believe the CIA would use a dirty bomb on Wall St. just to keep it’s phony war on terrorism going…
@Steve our Marines have been told not to fart because it offends the muzzies. Insane or what?
Our Troops have fought to win but not our politicians.
@Katherine Bingo!
Are we really supposed to believe this crap? I don’t trust the CIA, FBI, ATF, who are all following a CIC with a phony birth certificate. If something happens it’s on all of your heads for following this stealth Jihadist, Weather Underground, Muslim Brotherhood operative Obama. He’s probably giving them the date and time you idiots. THE WHOLE DAMN GOVERNMENT ARE NOTHING BUT BANK ROBBERS, INCLUDING ALL OF THESE ALPHABET SOUP AGENCIES. THEY CAN’T BE TRUSTED!
HERE’S WHO OBAMA IS WORKING FOR.
http://youtu.be/HWMIwziGrAQ
The ATF is shooting up American Citizens, maybe the CIA and FBI are the ones planting the dirty bombs. Heck, they’re all brainwashed OBOTS!
Let’s hope that muslims living in this country-in enclaves like Michigan-are not another arm of Barry’s brownshirts, and cause havoc on this country during the upcoming election. After all, he has the Muslim Brotherhood allowed to infiltrate our government to the highest rank- think of our 30 Seals who recently were murdered!
