Meaning? Planned Attack ‘Big,’ ‘Strategically Significant’
Senior U.S. Official: Intercepted Al Qaeda Communications Indicate Planned Attack ‘Big,’ ‘Strategically Significant’
On the day that almost two dozen U.S. embassies and consulates across North Africa and the Middle East are closed following the identification of a significant threat from an al-Qaeda affiliate, a senior U.S. official is providing new details about the communications intercepted from the terrorists, telling ABC News that al-Qaeda operatives could be heard talking about an upcoming attack. The official described the terrorists as saying the planned attack is “going to be big” and “strategically significant.”“The part that is alarming is the confidence they showed while communicating and the air of certainty,” the official said, adding that the group — Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula — appeared to have a media plan for after the attack.Authorities do not know the exact target of the planned attack, according to the official.“We do not know whether they mean an embassy, an airbase, an aircraft, trains,” the official said.
Strategically significant would be the U S naval base at Bahrain.
Strategically significant would be the Central Command base in Qatar
Strategically significant would be a demonstration that something we protect with all our might, cannot be protected.
Strategically significant would be the Mall of America.
An embassy in a nation in which the majority of the people would like see the Quran implemented in its entirety is NOT strategic.
Besides I thought the war o terror was long over.
So what is being said?
I have not yet seen ANYTHING to make me change my mind over this truth:
War is war. ‘War means fighting and fighting means killing’ (another sob said that)
Am I wrong?
