Terrorist attack at Mumbai, India“From Failed Bombings to Armed Jihadist Assaults“, Scott Stewart, Stratfor, 27 May 2010 — “This report is republished with permission of STRATFOR“
One of the things we like to do in our Global Security and Intelligence Report from time to time is examine the convergence of a number of separate and unrelated developments and then analyze that convergence and craft a forecast. In recent months we have seen such a convergence occur.
The most recent development is the interview with the American-born Yemeni cleric Anwar al-Awlaki that was released to jihadist Internet chat rooms May 23 by al-Malahim Media, the public relations arm of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In the interview, al-Awlaki encouraged strikes against American civilians. He also has been tied to Maj. Nidal Hasan, who was charged in the November 2009 Fort Hood shooting, and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the perpetrator of the failed Christmas Day 2009 airline bombing. And al-Awlaki reportedly helped inspire Faisal Shahzad, who was arrested in connection with the attempted Times Square attack in May.
My Comment: My biggest fear has always been such a scenario .... the casualty rate and disruption from such an attack on a major American city will be massive. Will groups like Al Qaeda and their offshoots ever conduct such an operation on American soil .... my money is on them doing exactly that.

Sorry if you read that. I was a bit off, I do apprciate your reporting everything and I realize that most things reported are media bullshit. I don't blame you for the poor/wretched reporting. As for Jihadist on CONUS, bring it on.
