Most Americans no longer listen to Al Qaeda's "warnings", they are nothing but bluffs. If they wanted to attack us they would be having suicide bombers blowing up in crowded malls/stores, movie theaters, schools, restaurants, etc ... now that would really spread fear.

Exactly. You don't warn your enemy beforehand of an impending attack. It's all U.S. controlled fearmongering.

I don't think that's so true. Apparently bin Laden got a lot of criticism from Muslims for not warning of 9/11 beforehand. I guess the Koran (or Islamic law/tradition/whatever) says that you must warn people and offer them the choice of converting to Islam before you kill them.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York police officers screened vehicles Saturday near Wall Street with radiation detection devices as "a precautionary measure" after an unconfirmed Web report about a possible radiological attack on U.S. cities.

I call bunk on this one. No one with any sense at all would tell their enemy's what they are going to do ahead of time. It is one thing to threaten to attack it is another thing to tell your enemy HOW you are going to attack.

The DEBKA report isn't specific about the date and time but the NYPD have been, coupled with a lack of alert in Miami and Los Angeles which were also mentioned in the DEBKA report I find it all very odd.
Source
Police confirmed the increased security was in response to receiving information that a dirty bomb may go off on Friday evening around 34th street in Manhattan -- a neighborhood with the Empire State Building, New York City's tallest building, Madison Square Garden and Macy's department store.

How can you all trust the website Debka? Are they credible with their sources? How do you know that Debka is able to monitor what Al Qaeda is saying? In my opinion, this is either speculation or a conspiracy. Most of the information from these "news" websites aren't really that accurate and reliable.

They've probably got more credibility than Fox News does, so I will check their headlines regularly.
From Debka Wikipedia page
Forbes identifies the best part of the website as its archives, but decries the fact that "most of the information is attributed to unidentified sources."
