UPDATE: The terrorist attack on U.S. chemical sites has been put on hold thanks to help from the FBI.
‘‘some kind of attack within days.’’
That was a WEEK AGO!
"Norway warns of imminent terror plot" Associated Press July 25, 2014
COPENHAGEN — Norway’s intelligence service said Thursday that it has received information about an imminent ‘‘concrete threat’’ against Norway from people with links to fighters in Syria.
Benedicte Bjoernland, the head of Norwegian security service PST, said the agency has received ‘‘reliable information’’ from a foreign partner about some kind of attack ‘‘within days.’’ She declined to identify the source.
(Blog editor laughed when he read that)
‘‘It was unspecific about what the target might be,’’ Bjoernland said, adding PST has no information about how or when such an attack would take place.
But they know it is imminent and within days!
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!
According to PST’s assessment last month, about 50 people have traveled to Syria from Norway as foreign fighters, half of whom have now returned to Norway. The domestic intelligence agency could not exclude that people involved with the threat already were in Norway.
Why would they want to attack Norway of all people? What a wa$te of an opportunity!
Is it the oil?

"US suicide bomber looked forward to ‘heaven’" by Bassem Mroue | Associated Press July 27, 2014
BEIRUT — An Al Qaeda-linked group fighting in Syria has released video of the first American to carry out a suicide attack in the country’s civil war, showing him smiling and saying he looked forward to going to heaven.
PFFFFFFFFT!
The Nusra Front released the video late Friday showing American citizen Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha, 22, formerly of Florida, with other fighters before the May 25 attack that targeted several army positions at the same time.
It said two of the other three suicide attackers in the assault in the government-held northwestern city of Idlib were from foreign countries, including one who was identified as being from the Maldives.
‘‘I want to rest in the afterlife, in heaven. There is nothing here and the heart is not resting,’’ Abu-Salha says in broken Arabic. ‘‘Heaven is better. When people die they either go to heaven or hell. There is happiness beyond explanation.’’
The video, released by Nusra Front’s media arm, al-Manara al-Baydha, was posted on jihadi websites. It corresponded with Associated Press reporting about the attack and Abu-Salha.
Oh, well, who could ever doubt its authenticity now?
At least the NSA is collecting all their traffic and knows where they are.
Opposition forces previously identified the American who carried out the bombing as Abu Hurayra al-Amriki and said he was a US citizen. The name al-Amriki means ‘‘the American’’ in Arabic.
It’s unknown how many people were killed in the bombing. Opposition rebels with the Nusra Front said Abu-Salha’s truck was laden with 16 tons of explosives to tear down the al-Fanar restaurant, a gathering site for Syrian troops. The other suicide attackers targeted nearby army positions.
Then he's a "good" suicider, right? Was that his mission? Or is there more and this story is simply a slick cover?
Abu-Salha grew up in Florida and attended several colleges before dropping out and moving abroad.
Thousands of foreign fighters have come to Syria from around the world to fight against President Bashar Assad’s forces after the uprising against his government began three years ago.
Yeah, paid for and assisted by AmeriKa and her allies.
The war, which began in 2011, has since taken on strong sectarian overtones, pitting a Sunni-led insurgency that includes Al Qaeda-inspired extremist groups against a government dominated by Assad’s minority Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shi’ite Islam.
With all due respect, I'm tired of the lying Zionist Jew war narrative. Thanks!
Syria’s uprising began with peaceful protests in March 2011 but escalated into an armed revolt when government forces launched a sweeping crackdown on dissent. The conflict has killed at least 170,000 people, nearly a third of them civilians, according to activists. Nearly 3 million Syrians have fled the country.
That I care about, and am putting it on the war crimes totals for Obummer's reign.
On Saturday, a car bomb exploded in a northern Syrian town near the Turkish border, killing and wounding a number of people.
The Aleppo Media Center said the car bomb exploded in a vegetable market in the town of Azaz. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the car blew up near a gas station in Azaz. The Observatory said the blast killed at least four people and wounded several others while the AMC said it killed and wounded a number of people without offering specific figures.
The Observatory also said a missile shot down a helicopter Friday night over a neighborhood of Aleppo known as Camp Nairab. The neighborhood is near the Nairab military airport southeast of the city, where government aircraft take off to carry out attacks in northern Syria.
But that was a good rebel shoot down, and not much was made of it.
Assad’s forces use helicopters to drop barrel bombs — crude explosives that have killed thousands of people and caused widespread destruction, especially in Aleppo.
Rebels rarely have succeeded in downing helicopters and have long requested antiaircraft weapons from Western and Arab nations. The United States and its allies have refused, fearing that such weapons could fall into the hands of extremists, who could use them to target passenger planes.
Interesting in light of the Ukraine and all, 'eh?
The Observatory and an Aleppo-based activist who goes by the name Abu Saeed Izzedine said the helicopter crash killed four people, including a child. The Observatory said three of the dead were the helicopter’s crew members.
Aleppo, once Syria’s commercial capital, has seen heavy fighting since rebels seized part of the city in 2012.

We really are losing the war on terror as we head into August.
