Upcoming Attack Intel - Chatter Deafening

September 5, 2003

Steve:

We have so much information about an upcoming attack on the CONUS that it is absolutely incredible. Below is a very rough translation of a vital post on a jihad forum - cleaned up as much as time permits right now. What the jihad operatives are doing now is posting informational and instructional messages and attack plans on certain Arabic forums, then removing the messages after a specific length of time. In other words, jihad operatives will post messages that are intended to be seen for 12 hours for example, then go back and remove the message to decrease the possibility of it being intercepted by people like us.

1. a biological and nuclear attack in the US is currently in the works
2. Sleeper cells in Canada have been activated and entered the US-timed with the power blackout
3. Numerous references to Tuesday (not any specific Tuesday, just the day itself), suggesting that could be a trigger day for the next attack. (see poorly translated example attached in MSWord format)

The following (deleted for security purposes) is a very important, detailed and graphic message about the travel of al Qaeda operatives to America through Canada by an al Qaeda operative using a stolen or forged Saudi passport and alerting other operatives (sleeper cells) there. This message, consistent with other sensitive messages, was placed on a forum for a brief period then removed.
