MADRID — A rare advisory for US travelers to beware of potential terrorist threats in Europe drew shrugs yesterday from many Americans on the continent, but tourism officials worried that it could deter people from crossing the Atlantic....
I do not want to hear or see any griping about dollars when "terrorists" are involved, 'kay?
Either BLOW the WHISTLE on the FRAUD or SHADDUP!!!
The effect on travel could deepen if the threat leads to new, tighter security measures, said Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst for Forrester Research. But the Air Transport Association, a US trade group for the airline industry, said it expects “business as usual.’’
In other words, THEY KNOW it is all a BUNCH of BULL-ONEY!
And GOVERNMENT would look REAL, REAL BAD if they COULDN'T STOP THIS ONE after FOLLOWING THESE GUYS AROUND for a YEAR and LISTENING to their PHONE CALLS!
They HAVE TO KNOW where the ATTACKS are going to be -- and they CERTAINLY MUST KNOW WHERE the DEAD GUY is HANGING OUT NOW!!
*****************
The State Department alert noted in particular “the potential for terrorists to attack public transportation systems and other tourist infrastructure.’’
“Current information suggests that Al Qaeda and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks,’’ it said....
Yeah, WE KNOW GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES NEVER SLEEP!!
US and European security analysts have been concerned for days about a terror attack similar to the one in Mumbai, which targeted two luxury hotels, a Jewish center, a popular restaurant, and a crowded train station, and left 166 people dead.
American intelligence officials believe Osama bin Laden is behind the plan to attack several European cities.
Pretty good for a GUY in a GRAVE!
If that’s true, it would be the most operational role bin Laden has played in plotting attacks since Sept. 11, 2001.
And IF NOT, "newspaper?"
Eight Germans and two British brothers are at the heart of an Al-Qaeda-linked terror plot against European cities, but the plan is still in its early stages, with the suspects calling acquaintances in Europe to plan logistics, a Pakistani intelligence official said last week....
Then the INTEL AGENCIES KNOW ALL ABOUT IT, WHERE and WHEN!
"IF" an attack comes then the TYRANNY will have to be SCRAPPED because it will have FAILED MISERABLY!
"IF" they CAN NOT STOP ONE THEY "KNOW is COMING then they have UTTERLY FAILED!
Also makes you wonder how we can even be at war with "terror" after so many years.
All the BLOOD, TREASURE and FREEDOM TOSSED AWAY and FOR WHAT?
The "threat" is WORSE THAN EVER?
Germany’s Interior Ministry said it saw no need to change its assessment of risks to the country and there were “still no concrete indications of imminent attacks’’ there.
France’s interior minister said the threat of a terrorist attack is real but the country is not raising its alert level.
“The terrorist threat exists, and could hit us at any moment,’’ said the French defense minister, Herve Morin, in the daily Le Parisien. “Networks organizing themselves to prepare attacks are constantly being dismantled around the world. It is good for the French to know this.’’
Yeah, propaganda is always such a wonderful thing.
How AMAZING that it is OCCURRING JUST as EUROPE is ON STRIKE!
Have to hand it to that dead bin Laden. His TIMING is IMPECCABLE!!!
A French official said yesterday that Italian police had arrested a Frenchman suspected of links to a network recruiting fighters for Afghanistan.
Give us a stinking break, huh? We AIN'T FALLIN' FOR IT NO MORE, government megaphone!
The man was arrested in Naples in early September, said the official, who was not authorized to be publicly named because terrorism cases are classified.
The Italians going to QUIETLY LET HIM GO like the SPANISH DID?

"At Logan Airport, travelers keep flying despite concern" by Emma R. Stickgold, Globe Correspondent | October 4, 2010
For most Europe-bound passengers taking off yesterday from Logan International Airport, news that US and British officials are urging travelers to be careful in public places in Western Europe produced questions and mild concern....
The advisory for travelers, issued yesterday morning, cited “the potential for terrorist attacks in Europe,’’ according to the State Department’s website. The alert said Al Qaeda continues to plan terrorist attacks, and urged American travelers to register with US embassies....

"Drone strike kills Germans linked to terror alert; Britain, Japan, and Sweden issue warnings" by Melissa Eddy, Associated Press | October 5, 2010
BERLIN — An American missile strike killed five German militants yesterday in the rugged Pakistan border area where a cell of Germans and Britons at the heart of the US terror alert for Europe — a plot US officials link to Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden — were believed in hiding.
So the PROPAGANDA PRESS CLAIMS!
The attack, part of a recent increase in American drone strikes on Pakistan, occurred as Germany said it has “concrete evidence’’ that at least 70 Germans have undergone paramilitary training in Pakistan and Afghanistan and that about a third have returned to Germany.
When a GOVERNMENT CLAIMS THAT you KNOW IT IS a LIE!!
They had IRONCLAD, BULLET-PROOF EVIDENCE against Iraq, remember?
Authorities across Europe have heightened security at airports and other travel hubs as well as at main tourist attractions after the US warning of an Al Qaeda-linked terror plot targeting London, Paris, Berlin, and other European capitals.Why would ANYONE BELIEVE ANYTHING the U.S. GOVERNMENT says these days?
Washington advised Americans over the weekend to use caution when traveling in Europe and imposed a curfew on some US troops based in Germany.
Britain, Japan, and Sweden issued warnings of their own yesterday, advising their citizens traveling in Europe to be on alert for a possible terrorist attack.
HOW DISAPPOINTING to SEE THOSE GOVERNMENTS play the "GAME!"
Police officers with search dogs patrolled subways in Britain, while soldiers and mounted police were dispatched to two major churches in Paris — Notre Dame in the heart of the city and Sacre Coeur on the Right Bank. Paramilitary troops were also seen patrolling the area around the Eiffel Tower, twice evacuated in recent weeks for unspecified threats.
American officials advised travelers to be watchful for suspicious activity, such as unattended packages, and to plan how they would exit buildings and move away quickly from any threatening situations.
And YOU, too, CITIZEN MEDIA!!
Michael Chertoff, the former Homeland Security secretary, said yesterday that tourists should consider “where would you take shelter if something happened.’’ And he also advised, “Don’t walk around with the American flag on your back.’’
Great "source," huh?
Very OMINOUS, isn't it?
The US missile strike in Pakistan killed five German militants taking shelter in a house in Mir Ali in North Waziristan, a known hub for foreign militants with links to Al Qaeda, Pakistani intelligence officials said....
Intelligence officers said the house in Mir Ali, where yesterday’s missile strike occurred, is near a mosque and a hospital and is owned by a local resident, Sher Mullah.
Killing so many foreign militants in a single strike would be unusual.
In Washington, P.J. Crowley, State Department spokesman, said the travel advisory was issued because of extensive evidence of a plot.
“We specifically have said continue with your travel plans, but just be cautious because we are aware of active plots against the United States, American citizens, and other allies around the world,’’ Crowley said yesterday.
Despite the growing evidence of a terror plot, France, Britain, and Germany — the nations believed to be the targets of the scheme — have not changed their domestic terror threat levels.
That is because GOVERNMENTS KNOW that "terrorism" is a GOVERNMENT INTELLIGENCE OPERATION!
Thomas de Maiziere, Germany’s interior minister, insisted his nation had no concrete evidence of an imminent attack. “There is no reason to be alarmist at this time,’’ de Maiziere said.

He said that he had spoken with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano about the travel advisory and that it is not “in keeping with our assessment of the situation.’’
The threat is being viewed differently by Washington and European capitals, and some analysts said it was a matter of approach.
Pfffft!
Such differences have played out repeatedly in the years since the attacks on the United States on Sept. 11, 2001, they said.
Many tourists said they would be vigilant but would not change their plans.
“I’m very happy to be here in France. I think we’re very safe, and I trust the French government to keep us safe,’’ said James O’Connell, 59, of Pittsburgh.
Yeah, don't worry, FALSE-FLAGGING, LYING GOVERNMENT will PROTECT YOU!
