FBI Warns Of Local 'Soft Target' Possibility
Wed May 21,12:38 AM ET

The United States was already concerned that last week's suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia and Morocco could be a prelude to something here.

ABC News has learned that a series of threatening messages on the Internet played a major role in the decision to raise the terror alert from yellow to orange.

One message warns of "a possible devastating attack in the next 48 hours and urged all Muslims to leave all cities, especially Boston, New York, and the commercial coastline."

A separate message targets Washington, New York, and the nation's beaches.

However, the FBI (news - web sites) warns that Pittsburgh is not exempt from terrorist attacks.

In fact, the special agent in charge of this region warns "soft-targets" such as Pittsburgh could even be more at risk.

"Everybody knows that New York and Washington are usually the targets and they've been hardened, so it's possible in middle America, Pittsburgh or some other community could now be the subject of their attack because of it being a little bit softer and not thinking it could happen here," Special Agent In Charge Kenneth McCabe said.

More police are on patrol, the FBI has increased its command center staff, but the most important person in the Orange Alert equation may be you.

When dozens of emergency agencies and water suppliers scheduled a terrorist drill for Tuesday, they had no idea it would happen the same time the terror alert was elevated to Orange.

Their scenario: a toxin is introduced into the water supply.

"They are ready. There is certainly always improvements that can be made, but this is a good exercise to point out where those areas need to be strengthened," Department Of Environmental Protection spokeswoman Betsy Mallison said.

Mallison says it is not just the FBI, local police, and others in the drill who need to be vigilant though -- the men and women who jog around places like the Highland Park Reservoir every day should be observant.

"If they see any suspicious activity around any business or any type of structure, a bridge or tunnel, the water supply, anything that looks unusual, people taking pictures and so forth, call their local law enforcement agency," EMA Director Bob Full said.

The rivers are another reason Pittsburgh could be in the scope of terrorists.

"We are one of the biggest inland commercial waterways in the U.S.," McCabe said. "They know that we're watching the coastal waterways in New York, Boston and L.A., so could they possibly be planning something here? We're trying to find that out."

The Orange Alert will mean more thorough security screenings for airline travelers.

The FAA (news - web sites), The Airport Authority, and the county police are deciding whether the current orange alert warrants the random spot-checks of vehicles on airport property that has been conducted in the past.

"They were planning a suicide hijack to attack Saudi landmarks," the source told Reuters, adding they were arrested at Jeddah airport Monday. Saudi authorities said Tuesday they had arrested three suspected members of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network in Jeddah. It was not clear if the arrests were linked to last week's triple suicide bombings of Western residential compounds in the capital Riyadh, which killed at least 34 people. "They were thwarted by Saudi forces who had no help from outside," the security source added. The FBI is helping Saudi Arabia investigate last week's bombings. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle....storyID=2785611

With the attempted hijackings, not quite sure yet if they were actually attempted, but if they were than it goes back to this theory. It would of put the next attack on the 4th day in between. Which would of been 5-20-03 And the climate theory representing the sky or air follows thru also. And are we sure they were ONLY heading to Jeddah? Need to find out the exact date of the attempt........... (Then her puppy is in America .. " a climate " .. Four .. Four .. !) Where does the climate come from? The sky! 5-20-03 (And exploded her in Riyadh " a land " .. Four .. Four .. !)5-12-03 (And the next by God willing " a sea " .. Four .. Four .. !) This has to be the Morocco Bombings and this was posted before the Morocco Bombings.5-16-03

Gollum Guest Posts: n/a	being a bit paranoid myself, sometimes.. I feel that IF AQ are planning something, all these latest attacks are just to divert attention, even the "fourth" one.. from the air..Maybe it was the hijacking stopped in SA..? Aq likes to play it grand way, make showy attacks if possible, but it's hard to do now, because of the increased security, unless some sleepers where planning for years in US..my 2 crazy cents

If and when it happens, I believe it will be multiple, simultaneous hits on a global scale. __________________ No longer care

Thanks AQH! I am not alone with this, wheewh..
