Apparently America needs another reminder of the failed policies of the Obama administration to fight islamic terror and the Department of Homeland Security has done just that with a warning that has gone out to utility plants across the country.
From the report at DAWN:
The US Department of Homeland Security has warned thousands of US utility plants that they could be the targets of “violent extremists,” according to a report Wednesday from ABC News.
On Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security sent out a terror alert titled “Insider Threat to Utilities” that said “violent extremists have, in fact, obtained insider positions” and might use those positions to wage physical and cyber attacks on behalf of Al Qaeda, according to the news report.
The report warns that an insider at a major utility facility, such as a chemical or oil refinery, could help Al Qaeda wage a major attack near the anniversary date of the September 11 attacks.
Officials found evidence among materials recovered during the May US military operation in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, which led officials to believe that the extremist leader sought to repeat the carnage of the September 11 attacks on or around its ten year anniversary.
“The only way you can actually kill the large scale number of Americans that [bin Laden] literally was calculating was through the use of this critical infrastructure,” former DHS chief of staff Chad Sweet told ABC News.
We see above how pivotal the upcoming tenth year anniversary of 9/11 is going to be. Now that bin Laden is dead, it could be even more significant and islamic terrorists are probably going to be even more hellbent to pull this kind of attack off.
When you couple these dire warnings by the DHS for the month of September with long standing reports that September will hold the beginning of a war in the Middle East between Israel and neighboring enemies...well, it almost makes you not want September to arrive.
US warns of terror attack on utility plants: report
WASHINGTON: The US Department of Homeland Security has warned thousands of US utility plants that they could be the targets of “violent extremists,” according to a report Wednesday from ABC News.
On Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security sent out a terror alert titled “Insider Threat to Utilities” that said “violent extremists have, in fact, obtained insider positions” and might use those positions to wage physical and cyber attacks on behalf of Al Qaeda, according to the news report.
The report warns that an insider at a major utility facility, such as a chemical or oil refinery, could help Al Qaeda wage a major attack near the anniversary date of the September 11 attacks.
Officials found evidence among materials recovered during the May US military operation in Pakistan that killed Osama bin Laden, which led officials to believe that the extremist leader sought to repeat the carnage of the September 11 attacks on or around its ten year anniversary.
“The only way you can actually kill the large scale number of Americans that [bin Laden] literally was calculating was through the use of this critical infrastructure,” former DHS chief of staff Chad Sweet told ABC News.
“Based on the reliable reporting of previous incidents, we have high confidence in our judgment that insiders and their actions pose a significant threat to the infrastructure and information systems of US facilities,” the bulletin said.
Last year US officials arrested an alleged Al Qaeda recruit, and the American man had worked at five US nuclear power plants in the Pennsylvania area after passing federal background checks.
According to ABC News, Homeland Security officials were not aware of a specific threat to any particular utility.

With corruption by embedded Communists all around and within us, it's hard to tell whe we have to fear more, the fear mongers or the terrorists; For it could well be that the TSA has this way to expand its forces so you'll have TSA agents in the airpports, at nuclear facilities, then where ever else they say we have to worry about terrorists - until they themselves terrorize every American in the U.S.!
