Notes from the Pentagon.
The new U.S. Northern Command issued a warning on Wednesday that a terrorist attack was imminent.
The classified intelligence notice said the warning was put out in response to the latest audiotape purportedly from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The tape warned the United States and its allies that "you will be killed just as you kill, and will be bombed just as you bomb."
Bearing in mind that any terrorist attack that has not already occurred must, perforce, be imminent -and ignoring the less than precise sources and
attributions - I fancy that we can sleep easy to-night, chaps
