FBI Warns Of Mumbai-Type Attacks In US Cities

[Truthed]

Washington: Extremists "with large agendas and little money can use rudimentary weapons" to sow terror, raising the spectre that the Mumbai attacks could embolden terrorists seeking to attack US cities, the top US investigation agency FBI warned.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is expanding its focus beyond Al Qaeda and into splinter groups, radicals who try to enter the country through the visa waiver programme and "home-grown terrorists," FBI Director Robert S Mueller said at the Council on Foreign Relations here on Monday.
"The universe of crime and terrorism stretches out infinitely before us, and we too are working to find what we believe to be out there but cannot always see," said the head of the agency charged with protecting the US against domestic and international terrorism.
"Our primary threat continues to come from the tribal areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan," Mueller said. "But we are seeing persistent activity elsewhere, from the Maghreb and the Sahel to Yemen."
US, he said was increasingly concerned with pockets of people around the world that identify with Al Qaeda and its ideology. "Some may have little or no actual contact with Al Qaeda. Yet fringe organizations can quickly gain broader aspirations and appeal."

Citing a planned attack against Fort Dix, he noted the men FBI convicted had engaged in target practice in the woods of Pennsylvania. They had watched Al Qaeda training videos. They had a map of the base and a plan to get in. And they had purchased semi-automatic weapons from an FBI sting operation.
"Like the Mumbai attackers, these men wanted to inflict as much damage as they could. And as the Mumbai attacks illustrate, the simplest of weapons can be quite deadly when combined with capability and intent," Mueller said.

It seemed like just before the 2004 presidential election there was an alert a day. It is rare when they have them now, so I guess we should start taking them a little more seriously.

I would imagine had the attack gone through at the base, those who would of committed such an act would of been massacred.
