TA-THREATS: Terror Alert Raised in Israel

According to the Northeast Intelligence Network, chatter on Arabic forums have specified attacks to occur within the next two days, coinciding with the Islamic holiday of Ashura. Among the targets they have seen mentioned are the "Great Market" in the old city of Jerusalem, specific bus numbers, schools, and nightclubs.

NIN

The following except is an excerpt from the most graphic of the Arabic postings:

( Tomorrow morning the great hitting (attack))

The buses, the greatest market and at night they bleed in their nightclubs and their 17 bus and their market and their schools more By Allah we will strike the sword into their necks and into their religion and they will bleed..

And peace, mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you

Translation from Arabic provided by Laura Mansfield

Previously these forums have been used to announce attacks; most recently a bombing in front of the home of Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was mentioned 10 days prior to the attack in one of these message boards.

I guess it is better to be safe than sorry. I have seen Alerts from NIN that have never panned out, at least publicly. Given the nature of events in the Middle-East, anything could be possible. Lack of security within Israel could pose a great danger for these attacks to occur. Extreme caution is issued for those living in Israel.

great........so what else is new

Two Bombings in Iraq, over 100 dead.
Nothing else is new.

Well maybe the area of intrest was wrong

I think NEIN is doing a great job of bringing these reports to the public eye. Yes many attacks have been stopped that we have not heard about due to operational security of ongoing investigations. NEIN is on a shoestring budget and is not in the spotlight for political gain nor monetary riches they're just concerned citizens like the rest of us.

Coincidence??? Possibly, but it is pretty close to what seemed to of happened in Iraq.
