WASHINGTON — 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.

Anti-terror agencies say they have no specific details to confirm the plot has moved "beyond aspirational planning," but are issuing the alert out of concern that an attack could come during the holiday season," warns the memo, which is dated Tuesday.

While federal agencies often issue all sorts of advisory warnings, the language of this one is particularly forceful.

9. We are sorry the article that you requested is no longer available.
Give me names. Give me named sources along with their titles and agencies. Give me PROOF (and even then let me decide for myself whether or not I should be terrorized)!

8. I'll bet this time the "terrorists" will be directly linked to Pakistan or Afghanistan.

Then the war (oil) pigs can more fully invade the region and ramp up their operations.

10. whoa
The comments on DU are the same comments I bet Bush made when they brought him Osama bin Laden's idea to use our own planes to attack US buildings.
None of it should be taken lightly by the government.

18. Then again, all three countries could be bombed and invaded.
There will be an increasing number of people who will be out of work. I'll bet they are planning a military draft soon.

19. Any Federal Agency...
That disseminates unsubstantiated rumors and leaks them to the press is, within its mission, useless as tits on a boar hog.

23. It's an "aspirational" plot
I think that means someone heard someone say that it would be cool to blow up the subway.

25. Terror Alerts are becoming the new Holiday Traditions
CNN has been spewing this all frigging day. Not ONE ounce of evidence, other than *someone somewhere -thinks- someone somewhere is planning an attack of -- place your favorite mass transport system here* propaganda.

Will they be coming up with the Chi Pet Gas Mask Plant for the holidays soon? :sarcasm:

30. "Wolf! Wolf!" cried the little boy, but this time no one from the village came...
... having been fooled too many times before by the wretched child. But the wolf was there this time, and ate the flock of sheep. ~Aesop~

That's the worst part about Bush having pulled this sh*t so often. We just don't know.
