Details Emerge About Possible Terror Threat

http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2813235&page=1
Quote:
Mimicking the hijackers who executed the Sept. 11 attacks, insurgents reportedly tied to al Qaeda in Iraq considered using student visas to slip terrorists into the United States to orchestrate a new attack on American soil.

Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples, head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, recently testified that documents captured by coalition forces during a raid of a safe house believed to house Iraqi members of al Qaeda six months ago "revealed [AQI] was planning terrorist operations in the U.S."
Ok, even I have to admit that the timing of this is highly suspect.

...one does wonder how hard can it be to find a box cutter these days. Maybe they all left the country to go fight in Iraq and now they've got some free time?

None of the information gathered indicates there are any active plans to carry out attacks outside Iraq or more importantly inside the United States. - NBC
