INTEL From Mossad and (German) BND re: Terror Hits On The US And Europe.

Here’s a bit of intelligence that arrived just this morning and is something that everyone should read and consider. The source is highly credible. I have known and trusted him (with my life, in Vietnam) since the mid-1960′s. That’s all I feel free to say, so, take it as you wish. I, though, take it as gospel. lowflyer

A HEADS UP!!!

In the realm of “for what it’s worth”, I received an INTEL report yesterday from a very close friend who is German and owns/operates a major global firm. Being from Germany, he has a “pal” who is a BND career guy who has focused his work in the Middle East for few decades; therefore, in that the BND is the CIA of Germany he works closely with MOSSAD the INTEL agency/operator group from Israel. The point to the note from the German man, his connection with the BND stated they and MOSSAD are predicting terrorist’s hits to the U.S. and Europe this year. The “hits” are predicted based upon HUMINT and found OPLANS from al-Qaeda and related groups which are believed to be very “real” and valid. The hit sites are varied targets in both Europe and the U.S. but the “predicted” sites are in cities and rural areas as well. Again, the hits will be this year!! The OPLANS have listed the targets!! The targets are many and in several states!!

** In more specific terms, airports – ports – resorts – hotels – shopping centers, etc., are the target sites. The predictions are apparently well known to law enforcement agencies-departments in both the U.S. and Europe now!! {{These predictions are known to the White House, DHS, FBI and other agencies as they are to the leadership of EuroZone nations. }} **

There are known/valid INTEL reports from al-Qaeda that with the serious economic negatives in the EuroZone and U.S., major “hits” will create added economic negatives for months and longer, which is the a major “incentive” for the hits.

** I do know that there have many “hit” stops (terrorist attacks were thwarted – editor) in the last several years due to the work of agencies/departments at the Federal and local levels. **

Certainly, over the years there have been “hit” predictions but NOW the INTEL from the BND/MOSSAD is “super high” and valid … as per the report.

US issues worldwide caution to its citizens of terror threats

“US citizens are reminded to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness,” the State Department said in a statement yesterday. (2/19/2013)

US issues worldwide caution to its citizens of terror threats
WASHINGTON: The United States has issued a worldwide travel alert to its citizens including in  South Asia where it said terrorist outfits like al-Qaida, the  Taliban and  Lashkar-e-Taiba ( LeT) might harm them.

“US citizens are reminded to maintain a high level of vigilance and to take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness,” the State Department said in a statement yesterday.

Noting that current information suggests that al-Qaida, its affiliated organisations, and other terrorist outfits continue to plan terrorist attacks against US interests in multiple regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, the State Department said these attacks may employ a wide variety of tactics including suicide operations, assassinations, kidnappings, hijackings and bombings.

It said extremists may elect to use conventional or non-conventional weapons, and target both official and private interests.

Examples of such targets include high-profile sporting events, residential areas, business offices, hotels, clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools, public areas, and other tourist destinations both in the United States and abroad where the country’s citizens gather in large numbers, including during holidays, the State Department said.

In South Asia, the presence of al-Qaida, Taliban elements, indigenous sectarian groups, and other terror organisations, many of which are on the US government’s list of Foreign Terror Organisations (FTOs), poses a potential danger to US citizens in the region, it said.

Terrorists and their sympathisers have demonstrated their willingness and ability to attack targets where US citizens or Westerners are known to congregate or visit.

According to the State Department, anti-Western terrorist groups, some on the US government’s list of FTOs, have been active in India, including Islamist extremist groups such as Harkat-ul-Jihad-i-Islami, Harakat ul-Mujahidin, Indian Mujahideen,  Jaish-e-Mohammed, and the Pakistan-based  Lashkar-e Taiba.

Terrorists have targeted public places in India frequented by Westerners, including luxury and other hotels, trains, train stations, markets, cinemas, mosques, and restaurants in large urban areas, it added.
