Sources: U.S. intel warning of possible al Qaeda attacks in U.S. Monday

Source: CBS News

NEW YORK -- CBS News has learned about a potential terror threat for the day before the election.

Sources told CBS News senior investigative producer Pat Milton U.S. intelligence has alerted joint terrorism task forces that al Qaeda could be planning attacks in three states for Monday.

It is believed New York, Texas and Virginia are all possible targets, though no specific locations are mentioned.

The sources stress the intelligence is still being assessed and its credibility hasn’t been confirmed, but counterterrorism officials were alerted to the threat out of abundance of caution.

are looking for a reason to put the gun to our own heads and pull the trigger by nominating Trump, and are willing to do whatever they can on their part to help us do it ...

thinking how can we trust ANYTHING now? This is the damage Ghouliani, Comey and the GOP in Congress have done to our country. Someone should hang for treason.

But officials were alerted out of an "abundance of caution"...and hopes of a Hail Mary for Trump-ites on Election Day eve.

Bush & Co. cried wolf too often and the recent FBI garbage isn't helping.

I hope, hope and hope this is a false flag and everyone will be safe.

Assholes really want Trump. He would give them money and power, plus he's a moron they can run circles around. It's a wet dream, especially compared with working for a female adult who knows their schtick inside-out. Wicked combo there.

In the video the reporter suggests polling places could be targeted by lone wolf extremists.


I'm more worried about white extremists losing their shit after Trump loses Tuesday night.

This sounds like a PysOps from within to depress voter turnout in some desperate attempt to swing the election for tRump. The mentioned organization is greatly depleted. I have seen a lot more threatening language domestically that abroad.

Remember, Ghoulini said they had some tricks up their sleeve and were going to go down fighting. Given their connections to certain elements
I worry how far they will take this to win though. Stay heads up out there friends.

He would play into everything they want to promulgate to the Islamic world-- that the United States is opposed to and biased against Islam. He would be their ace recruiting tool. So timing a terror attack for just before the election would be an obvious strategy for them.

They will stoop to anything and everything. They are so afraid of losing power, and they couldn't care less who gets hurt. They will do whatever they think it takes to win. We must get rid of citizen's united and get the money out of politics. That's all they're there for.....pocketing our tax money. And look out if Drumpf gets in. It will be his personal piggy bank to pay off hids loans from China and Russia he has taken. Drumpf is a puppet for Putin of the first order. He probably had to agree to it to get the money.
