An al-Qaida-linked website has posted a potential hit list of targets that include names and photos of several U.S. officials and business leaders, calling for terrorists to target these Americans in their own homes, NBC New York has learned.
The FBI has sent out a new intelligence bulletin to law enforcement agencies, warning that this new web-based threat, while not a specific plot, is very detailed. The bulletin said the list includes leaders “in government, industry and media.”
The FBI has notified those individuals who are named.
NBC New York will not identify them or their companies. The list includes Wall Street firms, political leaders, leaders with think tanks and contractors who do business with the military.
Way back when the Iranian Ayatollah put out a fatwa on Salman Rushdie for simply writing about those portions of the Koran that Mohammad admitted Satan’s demons had inspired him to write, 53 people died.
Individuals, not any organization, took it upon themselves to try to kill Mr. Rushdie.
As you can learn, if you read up on the collateral damage, their ”aim” was far from true.
But they acted out of a belief that, by carrying out a death fatwa, they were assured an afterlife in paradise.
I can see the same thing happening here with whoever is on that list.
Not only will all those folks become moving targets, but everyone near them are acceptable deaths by these zealots.
Is the FBI doing anything more than informing these folks?
Will they get taxpayer-backed security until all Muslim zealots are gone?
Or are these folks on their own?
If one of these mentioned are killed then crush the mosques that sponsored this…
The screen capture I saw of one of the pages had photos of men in uniform.
I only recognized a couple of them.
But it looks like the most likely place to find them would be the Pentagon.
And looky here at the news this AM………..
Nothing to see here, move along….
