Web Site Calls for Trans-Alaska Pipeline Terror Attacks
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A Web site claiming to be affiliated with Al Qaeda has called for attacks against the trans-Alaska oil pipeline.

The unknown author encourages small cells of four or five mujahedeen, or Muslim guerrillas, living in the United States or in Canada or Mexico to mount the attacks.

The 10-page posting includes numerous links to Web sites providing maps and other information about the pipeline.

Attacking oil and gas targets in the United States and other countries is key to bringing down the economy of the "American devils," the author wrote, saying the message was posted in response to calls from Usama bin Laden and his top Al Qaeda deputy, Ayman Al-Zawahiri.

4. To the media: Tell us the website
Dear Media:

Let us look at its registration, let us judge what it looks like. Let us see what we can find out.

Or is there a reason you won't tell us where you're getting this information?

Love, America

5. Terrorists never pick the easy targets in the USA
They prefer to tangle with the world's most sophisticated defense systems, all while using nothing more high-tech than box cutters and sheer courage.

Well, at least that's what I've been told happened...

years ago.There are a million ways to screw up oil production.There must be some other reason they haven't.Someone they don't want to piss off.It's the logical way to bring the world to it's knees.

13. Agreed
I don't really want to write this, since it will probably put me on some sort of NSA list somewhere, but the pipeline could not be a more vulnerable target.

10. Maybe Faux News Should Report On The Impacts Global Warming
are having on the pipeline.

At this point, it is much more likely that melting of the permafrost will bring an end to the pipeline.
