Federal authorities are warning law enforcement personnel of a possible terror plot against the New York City subway system during the holiday season.
An internal memo obtained by The Associated Press says the FBI has received a “plausible but unsubstantiated” report that al-Qaida terrorists in late September may have discussed attacking the subway system.
The report indicates that al-Qaida terrorists “in late September may have discussed targeting transit systems in and around New York City.
These discussions reportedly involved the use of suicide bombers or explosives placed on subway/passenger rail systems,” according to the document.
“We have no specific details to confirm that this plot has developed beyond aspirational planning, but we are issuing this warning out of concern that such an attack could possibly be conducted during the forthcoming holiday season,” states the warning, which is dated Tuesday.
While federal agencies regularly issue all sorts of advisory warnings, the language of this one is particularly blunt.
Intelligence and homeland security officials are working with local authorities to try to corroborate the information “and will continue to investigate every possible lead,” the memo says.

Stay home and enjoy ur turkey don’t travel !
I always wondered, why does Al Qaida drop hints before they attack? Wouldn’t it be smarter for them just to attack? Not that I’m trying to give them any good ideas…
They attack with terror called “HINTS”! When they really attack they won’t let us know before. Only Hashem can and does watch over us!
there are lots of threats every day and there is nothing you can do to prevent them

why do you post about a group threatening to slow down traffic,
in a thread about people threatening to wound, paralyze, bloody, maim, blow off limbs and heads of men women, babies, and little children, boys and girls?
are you suggesting a parallel?
Had the media reported this story in september, prior to the electons, I wonder IF Obama would’ve won.
With the election of B. Obama, we americans have sent a clear message to the terrorists that we don’t have the guts to stand up to them. Because he said many times he wants to talk with them, get out of the Middle East and so on, they consider all this appeasement and a sign of weakness. If an attack doesn’t occur on our soil like in India, it is only because of chasdai Hashem that it won’t occur.
