Three suspected terrorists are being hunted today amid fears they are plotting car bomb attacks in New York and Washington D.C. on the tenth anniversary of 9/11 on Sunday.

It is the first 'active plot' timed to coincide with Sunday's sombre commemoration of the terror network's 9/11 attacks a decade ago that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The terrorists may be targeting tunnels and bridges around Manhattan, said one source, but other big cities, including Los Angeles and Chicago, are also on red alert.

Federal officials say three individuals - one believed to be a U.S. citizen - entered the country last month by air with 'intent' to carry out a terrorist plot against Washington, D.C. or New York.

Police sources told reporters the individuals are believed to have come to the U.S. via Afghanistan or Pakistan with at lease one stop in another country, possibly Iran.

So how come we are only now hearing about it? Did the information changed between the time the computer was acquired and yesterday just before the President's speech?

There is no functional value to that announcment yesterday other than they have to say something given that the 10th anniversary is a significant milestone. And that argument is further supported when they yell you to go about your business as usual. The authorities didn't need to make an announcement. There was no announcement made when the guy was caught in Times Square. People made observations on their own and acted accordingly. Bush used to do this for every notable day in the whole damn calendar. Smile

last time I checked, US and UK were fighting in Afganistan and Iraq...exactly how are they peace-loving?
What abour Libya, Afganistan, Iraq having laws to remove invaders from their countries?

I think that you are being over cynical and doing a great disservice to the people of the US amongst whom you have found a save haven.
The security services tend not to disclose information that could spread panic, except when they have a credible threat but have lost track of the villains. As the history prior to 9/11 has thought them: ignore credible warning signs at your peril. Elements within the US security services had information on the 9/11 terrorists, but it was given a low priority with fatal consequences. Nobody wants the same dismissive attitude to be regretted afterwards.

I lived through the three years following 9/11 when there was not a notable day on the calendar left without Bush's government saying the are hearing chatter. On the workday before one Memorial day my boss asked what was my plan and I told him I don't know but I was sure the threat level would get raised. They only stopped that nonsense when a congressman pointed it out years later. How about Rumsfeld plastic and duck tape suggestion? Over cynical? I think not. Plus I am not in the habit of looking over my shoulders. Smile

Bhai, there are more questions than answers from you guys. If I have to spill the beans on the lack of action from the Muslim community in the continental USA, many would jump on my throat. This problem is still a Muslim problem, and it should be solved mainly by Muslims. In this day and age, it's so wrong that the freedom given to us are being taken away day by day and its all due to the terrorist episode. We've been down this road many times and nothing fruitful came out of it. Many of you were too busy casting blame on each other rather to find a solution to the problem. You guys erecting mosques that cost millions of dollars throughout America, but no solution. You guys are seeking special holidays and prayer facilities in public places but no solution. If Muslims were defending America, we would have been able to contain the threats that are upon us 10 years later. If I was one of you, I would have hung myself in a public square with a note stick to my chest just to make my point. This is when we need suscide bombers to die for a better cause.

Also, most of the emotional roller coaster the we are/have been subjected was manufactured by our security services.

How yuh watchin dis ting fuh months and now two days before de day yuh loose it and have fuh tell de peeple to watch out. Den soon as yuh mek de announcement yuh start actin like soneting big is going tuh happen. At least dem police can/will get lil OT to help out wid dem house expenses. Smile

Washington (CNN) -- American spy networks have intercepted communications from an al Qaeda operative in Pakistan indicating plans for a terrorist strike in New York or Washington, according to a senior U.S. official.

The communications come from a source who has provided accurate information in the past, the official said, prompting intelligence officials to sift through communications from other al Qaeda cells.

No other corroborating evidence of an attack has been uncovered, the official added.

But the information indicates the plan -- thought to involve a vehicle-borne explosive device -- is meant to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. ... More

You can do whatever you want. Neither I nor any other Muslim in the US owe you or anyone else anything. I don't know anyone who is a danger to America so why should I manufacture a need to be active to satisfy your concern of a lack of action. Your problem is your problem not mine. Either solve it or live with it if you can't.

Was your post supposed to address the observation I made? I am afraid it sadly didn't.

A lesson suited for yourself. There is nothing in that article that speaks of timeline. If you are truly a Guyanese, you would have been exposed to people of authority having a habit of misleading the general populace. People do that over here also. You don't have to look too far to see it.

Dude I am more guyanese than you are since I have at least two grand parents whose history is that of native people. I do not know what you can expose me of being other than some fantasy of yours.

Also, you are a 9/11 doubter. That speaks for itself. I also do not think that a time line is necessary since the communication chatter points to agents probably already here would be up to evil. The Ben Laden papers references so not have to satisfy your criteria for its authenticity. It has to satisfy those who looked at it understand it contents and told us what were discussed. You can doubt it if as you doubt 9/11 but that is your option. However, I believe that the hundreds of cops I see deployed in the streets are not there because some one concocted a story nor are there simply to show off their pretty uniforms.

Over reaction and hype by Bloomberg and co. They know about the car bomb plot and individuals involved, whether or not they have located these guys I don't know.

Yuh really funny bai. Your foreparents did not come out of the ground of Guyana. They came from somewhere else no different than mine did and by the strongest argument came from the same land mine came from albeit at a different time.

Secondly, I am not a 9/11 doubter. I only pointed to the conflicting news announcements immediately following the incident. One like they found the passport of one of the hijacker somewhere in 23rd street. I don't know if you know how far 23rd street is from ground zero. Also, I was investigated (interviewed) by the FBI following 9/11 and am still here a decade years later free and clear. So what does that speak for?

Lastly you seeing all that deployment convinces you that no one concocted a story would also mean that the 100 thousand plus deployed to go to Iraq must also convince you that what the president was saying then was accurate.
