Al Qaeda Plotting Attack Against New York City Corporations

ABC News reports that federal and New York City officials have credible intelligence that al Qaeda is plotting against corporations based in New York:

Sources at several law enforcement agencies tell ABC News that an "overseas source" has provided the information about the threat to New York and that it is more significant than the usual "chatter" intercepted from likely terrorists that has prompted warnings in the past.

Intelligence sources say al Qaeda plans to move non-Arab terrorists across the border with Mexico.

Authorities already have in custody a woman of Pakistani-origin arrested after crossing into Texas. She carried a South African passport with several of the pages torn out, $7,000 in cash and an airplane ticket to New York.

Particularly disturbing to authorities were the intelligence reports that the attack may involve one or more suicide truck bombings, a tactic never seen in the United States, but one widely used by terrorists elsewhere.

As to the timing of any planned attack, sources say it could take place between now and Election Day in November.

Maybe with the increased fear that terrorists could enter the U.S. through Mexico, more will be done to control the border with Mexico.

Yea right, and pigs will fly, frogs will climb trees and Kerry will attend a Pat Robertson revival meeting.

Don't hold your breath, at least til Nov. 02. Then you may see Bush slam the door shut.
