New Yorkers were already in a state of anxiety for the anniversary, but the preparation is better than complacency
the evening of Thursday, media coverage of the job President Obama was quickly moved by the announcement of a terror alert in New York and Washington DC. Sources said federal officials are worried about a "plausible but unsubstantiated" threat - a possible attack by terrorists planned to coincide with the tenth anniversary of 9 / 11. New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly announced new measures in the streets, subways, and out of tunnels and bridges, and elsewhere as a precautionary measure. However, during the summer, John Brennan, the counterterrorism czar White House, and others have spent the last months, to minimize the threat of Al Qaeda in U.S. national security, playing the Predators organization weakened by air strikes by the constant pressure in Afghanistan and the efforts of U.S. terrorism in the world law enforcement.
So what are we to think? How serious is this threat and what it means in terms of assessing the forces of Al Qaeda than a decade after the attack that changed the American political landscape and psychological in one day? While the details of the rumors that - a car bomb has the potential, a concern for three individuals trying to enter the country, a presumed link Afghanistan - mounting with each passing hour, it's worth taking a moment to think about it.
- is also inevitable, with or without the so-called "talk" about a possible attack, New Yorkers came this weekend with a feeling of great concern. As a community, residents of the city can not fail to have in the back of their minds the sense that an underground bomb Zazi Najibullah in 2009, a car bomb or truck, as the Times went wrong Place last year - could one day off in New York. This is true despite ten years without a successful attack or fatal terrorist incident has greatly calmed those fears. In realistic terms, the evaluation of the weakness of al-Qaeda does not mean that there might be another attack in the city of New York - but one of the scale of 9 / 11 is difficult to imagine. As many experts have pointed out, the story of Al Qaeda, and the willingness of individuals to mount an attack, as if only in skeleton form. "Talk", as reported today, is a frequent phenomenon in cyberspace jihadist -. Sometimes more credible than others
