There have been at least 5 major train wrecks in the past month or so, and this is not counting the ones that were prevented by arrest of Al-qaeda operatives planning major train disasters in Canada and the USA. Interestingly, as Don Laird notes, the same magazine, ‘Inspire’, by AQ in the Islamic Maghreb which advised its readers to attack trains also advised them to attack various other infrastructure facilities wherever possible.
The attack on a transformer farm in California with AK47s by an “Armed gang” for example (earlier reports where more clear that many AK47s were used to fire MANY rounds into these transformers) which the press has written off as mere vandalism or this attack on an emergency radio broadcast center strike me as oddly under-reported, or perhaps mis-reported would be a better way to describe it.
There's more, including a story about massive poisoning of American citizens.

WASHINGTON (AP) — State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf says an unspecified number of U.S. embassies and consulates around the globe will be closed Sunday due to security concerns.
ReplyDeleteHarf says Thursday that it's a precautionary step, taken out of an "abundance of caution" because of unspecified information indicating a threat to U.S. facilities overseas. She says the diplomatic facilities may stay closed for more than a day, depending on analysis of the threat information.
Harf would not give a geographic location or say whether the information was related to terrorism. But she did point out the administration issued guidelines in February on potential terrorist threats around the world.
The last major warning came last fall when embassies warned American diplomatic facilities across the Muslim world of potential violence around Sept. 11.
