FEDS TO COPS: PREPARE FOR AL-QAIDA CAR BOMBS
WorldNetDaily.com reports: "The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has advised federal agencies to initiate emergency counterterrorism measures to prevent possible al-Qaida car bombings planned during the last days of the Muslim holiday Ramadan, according to a confidential department memo obtained by WorldNetDaily.
Citing al-Qaida's 'increasingly sophisticated' car-bombing tactics, it recommends security guards tow all vehicles parked illegally in and around government facilities, if their owners cannot be identified, and inspect the undercarriage and other areas of vehicles entering sensitive areas, among other high-threat protective measures.
Al-Qaida could also target 'liquid natural gas, chemical or petrochemical sites near major population centers using multiple vehicle-born improvised explosive devices similar to those recently seen in the attacks in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Istanbul, Turkey,' warns the internal department advisory titled, 'Continued al-Qaida Threats Abroad and in the Homeland.'
Marked 'For Official Use Only,' the five-page memo was distributed Friday to federal departments and agencies, as well as state security managers and first responders.
'This advisory is intended to raise the security awareness of the recipients based on recent terrorist attacks overseas and information suggesting al-Qaida continues to plan attacks against U.S. targets,' the memo says.
It notes there has been at least one major terrorist attack resulting in substantial casualties each week over the past several weeks, and that the attacks have coincided with Ramadan.
'These terrorist bombings, coupled with public proclamations regarding al-Qaida's intentions to target Western interests, heighten our concern that a threat against the U.S. homeland and U.S. interests abroad continues,' the document states�"
