(New York Post)
** One Jerusalem is following the story.
The rumors may have started with the questionable Israeli Debka File News:
7 Online News says the reports were unreliable but authorities are still being cautious:The threat was picked up by DEBKAfile’s monitors from a rush of electronic chatter on al Qaeda sites Thursday, Aug. 8.
The al Qaeda communications accuse the Americans of the grave error of failing to take seriously the videotape released by the American al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gaddahn last week. “They will soon realize their mistake when American cities are hit by quality operations,” said one message.
Another said the attacks would be carried out “by means of trucks loaded with radio-active material against America’s biggest city and financial nerve center.”
A third message mentioned New York, Los Angeles and Miami as targets. It drew the answer: “The attack, with Allah’s help, will cause an economic meltdown, many dead, and a financial crisis on a scale that compels the United States to pull its military forces out of many parts of the world, including Iraq, for lack of any other way of cutting down costs.”
The supposed threat came from an international web site that is considered by authorities to be often unreliable. Still, the NYPD and FBI both were being extremely cautious. They stepped up detection activity in town, looking for radioactive devices in Manhattan.Police confirmed that the threat was targeting 34th street in Manhattan:
Police confirmed the increased security was in response to receiving information that a dirty bomb may go off around 34th street in Manhattan on Friday evening.
The Empire State Building, New York City's tallest building, Madison Square Garden and Macy's department store are in the 34th Street neighborhood.
UPDATE: Bill Roggio also reports that the Al Qaeda and Taliban camps in the Northwest Frontier region of Pakistan are emptying out:
The al Qaeda and Taliban personnel abandoned the 28 camps after "the US had presented Islamabad with a dossier detailing the location of the bases as advance information on likely US targets," Mr. Shahzad reported. "All other leading Taliban commanders, including Sirajuddin Haqqani, Gul Bahadur, Baitullah Mehsud and Haji Omar, have disappeared,” said Mr. Shahzad.
"Similarly, the top echelons of the Arab community that was holed up in North Waziristan has also gone." Pakistan's military and intelligence agencies are believed to have leaked information to the Taliban and al Qaeda in the past, and appears to have done so again.
The emptying of the camps is a cause for great concern in the military and intelligence communities. "We don't know where they went to or who was in the camps," the military officer told The Fourth Rail.. "They are well trained, these aren't your entry level jihadis. They are dangerous."

ReplyDeleteJust curious snooper about your comment: "hopefully sooner than later, our political leadership just MIGHT stop playing their usual political games and actually get down to business and fulfill their duties and protecting We the people instead of They The Politicians"...
ReplyDeleteIs there something specific you are refering to or just in general?
Regarding Bill Roggio and his noting that the terrorist camps in the Wazirstan region, note the following from MEMRI: Abu Hafs 'Omar Al-Farouq, a Leader of the Ansar Al-Islam Organization in Pakistan: "Oh Infidel Government, We Are Coming!"
The Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) recently released an address by Abu Hafs 'Omar Al-Farouq, a leader of the Ansar Al-Islam organization in Pakistan. In the address, Al-Farouq calls on all Muslims to wage jihad against the regime of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, who he says is trying to implement "Jewish democracy" in Pakistan instead of Muslim shari'a. Al-Farouq also calls to attack and kill Pakistani security personnel, as well as Muslim clerics who support Musharraf, in retaliation for the Red Mosque clashes in Islamabad.
This dirty bomb threat is very real and this is exactly why the US army should be concerned with this threat. N korea has always supported islamic terrorist who are positied to harm United States Citizens/. Recently a Korean spy was caught in a new jersey restaurant and was charged on July 20, 2007 with lying to the FBI and spying in Federal District Court in NYC. The restaurant may have been the same one which is owed by Robert Egan, but even if it is not the same restaurant there is still a grave security issue that needs to be addressed. Robert Egan a confirmed n Korean representative and self professed advocate with ties to n Korea per Newsweek magazine article by m. Hirsh 0ctber 2006 called we are a nuclear power. Robert Egan is associated with a Fort Dix New Jersey National Guard Jag officer LTC Mark Winkler. Mark Winkler has a law practice in Franklin lakes NJ , lives in New Milford New Jersey and is a personal friend and attorney for Robert Egan the owner of Cubbies Restaurant in South Hackensack New Jersey. Four years ago LTC Winkler spoke freely about how North Korea;s uranim enrichment program and their specific threats to our national security to friends and family as his way of entertainmnet. THese were things he that were not related to his official representation of RObert egan in civilan court, and it was evident that LTC WInkler knew and discussed N korean activities with his friend and client Robert Egan. LTC Mark Winkler was probed by the FBI and Military Intel Omar Bolotok on Fort DIx for espionage issues with N. Korea and for failing to report on his past security clearance applications contact with a representative of a foregn government. This was also confirmed by the 1079th GSU Commander who had a meeting with the FBI, MI Officer Omar Bolotok in 2007 but fort dix officials prefer to ignore the threat to avoid media attention and embarrassment. LTC Winkler was never held accountable for the last 12 years he placed the NJ army national guard and fort dix and united states at risk with failing to disclose this information and the JAG corp on fort dix are supporting LTC Winker out of fear that his exposure will mean they failed to report this incident and risk timely. Please contact the appropriate authorities to make sure the potential threat is investigated and not covered up. Thousands of NYC citizens lives and our soldiers lives are at risk behind this incident and LTC Winkler had access to troop movements, locations of our soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, IED risks, and military protective instructions as well as locations of our Nuclear power plants in the US and transportation safety issues. Your help is needed, please write to your congressman if you are a civilan and NYC resident and report this on to your commander if you are a member of the armed forces. Please dont ignore this threat act now before it its too late. Do not approach or contact Winkler directly, he is known to file false harassment charges against anyone who questions his behavior. Do not let him trap you. Click on this link to hear Robert Egan’s Radio Interview http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6665732

ReplyDeleteThe latest Robert Egan North Korea June 2008 Nuclear threat is listed here http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2008Jun28/0,4670,BarbecueDiplomat,00.html
Here's the bottom line. Both Robert Egan and his so called friend, who just happens to be an army lawyer on fort Dix with access to nuclear secret and military and use civilian soft targets, should be investigated and stopped from further activity with North Korea. The only way this guy will be prosecuted is if you citizens act quickly by aiding the only witness who is willing to testify against Egans lawyers Mark Winkler a Franklin Lakes Attorney and Army Lieutenant Colonel, based on what Winkler disclosed which specifically identifies how much uranium was passed to Iran by north Korea, how this was done, which diplomats were involved and the threat of ongoing similar activity which is being ignored by the Newark New Jersey FBI and US Attorney Christopher Christie's office in Newark NJ because of political affiliation which will embarrass the Current administration. Call Judge Cavanaugh at 973 645 3932 and ask him to rule on an emergent relief motion filed by a black female army officer and attorney targeted by Mark Winkler’s filing of false harassment charges against her and the use of the Fort Dix Magistrate Court System and his friend Part Time Magistrate Judge Anthony Maurtone of Orange NJ, who deliberately threw out evidence to exonerate the officer and gave her an unprecedented 24 month term of probation supervised and now seeks to violate her privacy rights by forcing her to endure a mental health exam simply for being accused of calling winkler an hanging up the phone, no threats, but the racists climate on Fort Dix and winkler racist influence allowed this to happen. On June 11, 2008 Judge Cavanaugh ruled that Judge Mautones bar against the officer making public comments about the case, winkler and her excessive probation was an unconstitutional violation of the officer’s first amendment rights and vacated it. This infuriated Fascist Judge Mautone and in retaliation Judge Maurtone order that the Officer’s probation officer Patricia Jensen in Trenton NJ violate Ms. Jackson for having made public comment, and despite the June 11th ruling The Probation Department on June 16th signed a violation notice based on the officers making public comment and on June 18th in the District Court Of New Jersey in Newark argued before Judge Maurtone by the United State Attorney assigned to the matter by Fort Dix through a program approved by US Attorney Christopher Christie and criminal justice chief Mr. McKenna, that the officer should have probation revoked, face jail and have a mental health exam imposed, even though the officer who is a black female former military prosecutor 26 year veteran, JAG on fort Dix and current employee of the NJ Department of Law and Public Safety Officer of The attorney General with no prior criminal history whatsoever, a former Military Academy instructor, 9-11 first time responder with the National Guard, current Television News Analyst, and superb human being, Judge Mautone is trying to violate the officers constitutional right to privacy, by putting her in jeopardy against her will for forced mental health civil confinement simply because Judge Mautone was recently overruled by Judge Cavanaugh and Judge Mautone on the record threatened the officer with facing unknown additional criminal charges he will pursue simply on the basis of a letter sent to the Judge by LTC Mark Winkler, unless the officer agrees to further unconstitutional restraints by the Department of Probation. This case is a travesty of justice and the officer is willing to go out as an example of why in this country there is a continuous struggle against anarchy and biased racist and serious judicial misconduct and the fact that Rosa Parks like was also convicted of a minor petty disorderly persons offense for failing to give up her seat on a public bus to a white male, is an example of how intolerable and racist the justice system is in this country currently and in particular in NJ. Please call the United States Attorney in Washington DC. To report this problem. Try to reach the ethics unit (202)514-7566 to ask that the us attorney remove the case from the fort dix prosecutors or call the new jersey US attorney Christopher Christie’s office at (973)645-2700 fax in requests to have this officers case reassigned to a special prosecutor unaffiliated with Fort Dix to Attn US Attorney Christopher Christie: (973) 645-2702 970 Broad Street, Newark New Jersey 07101 Regarding the case of US vs. Jackson
I am not sure why it takes so long to prosecute people like Robert Egan and Mark Winkler. Egans reports in vanity fair NPR Washington post etc is an obvious case of acting as an unregistered agent for a foreign nation, if Egan were in contact with Saddam’s government and tried to set up the prewar visit for our lawmakers he would have been prosecuted. To make matters worse, If Egan tried to get rich from it by trading influence with American lawmakers for an oil payment from Saddam he would have been arrested. This type of behavior is rampant in the US and goes unchecked and is a serious breach of security. Egans behavior with North Korean agents is far worse because Egan may have unfettered access to United States Military secrete material on fort dix which includes our location of potential terrorist targets like our bridges tunnels, nuclear and chemical power plants and the Homeland security monitoring schedules and New Jersey National Guard troop movements to protect these critical sites through his friend and lawyer LTC Mark winkler of the New Jersey Army National Guard JAG office. New Jersey American Citizen Robert Egan, an owner of a restaurant called cubbies in Hackensack NJ, doing the very same thing with North Korea. However this guys lawyer keeps him out of trouble, the only problem is Egan’s lawyer is a Lieutenant Colonel in the New Jersey Army National Guard n Fort Dix, (Mark Winkler, Esq. of Franklin Lakes NJ) and his lawyer may have received payments through his client Egan from North Korea. Egan pays his lawyer by referring him other clients who need asylum from Korea, North Vietnam etc, who have no money but Egan finances their asylum legal fees which are disguised as payments he makes to his lawyer who gets rich from this affiliation. TO make matters worse this lawyer, threatens anyone who talks to the media or law enforcement about him and files false harassment charges against anyone who tries to stop him. The lawyer recently told a female officer on Fort Dix, all about his clients operation and passing of secrets to N. Korea and the client’s knowledge of a North Korean uranium enrichment program which was in fact shared with Iranian government and aided the Iranian program. The lawyer threatened the female officer and used Fort Dix, officers to pursue unjust prosecution and conviction against the female officer, for petty disorderly harassment, to ensure she is discredited and cannot talk to law enforcement. This is really a problem since the Lawyer is a high level New Jersey army National Guard Lawyer who has ties to troop movements, military secretes and god knows what he passed to N Korea through his friendship with his client. The only way this story will be investigated and the people involved stopped are if the media holds Egan and his lawyer responsible for their actions. Many people have been harmed by these two including Hackensack NJ police officers whom the lawyer targeted in the past and tape recorded and threatened. Hackensack police chief kosener can confirm Winker represents Egan and has caused the city of Hackensack and the police department a lot of trouble. The female officer winkler targeted was forced to retire from the military and winkler used the US attorney’s office in Newark NJ run by Christopher Christie to target and file and prosecute false disorderly persons harassment charges against her when the military should have had jurisdiction over the case since the allegations concerned conduct which occurred while both winker and the female officer were both on military duty, but because the US attorney’s office gives the fort dix jags great discretion to appoint jag fort dix prosecutors to prosecute in magistrate court on fort dix, Winkler used his influence and tapped into racial bias to get the jags to pursue an unjust conviction for petty disorderly persons conviction against the female officer, which now Winkler used the conviction to notify the officers employer at the office of the attorney general to get her fired from her civilian employer and he also lied to her employer and passed faze information about a valid summons and complaint she signed in Hackensack nj as a citizens complaint filed against winkler for threatening her. Winkler had false information passed to the officers job with the nj attorney general that she misused her job as an attorney general employee to sign the Hackensack nj summons and complaint and this allegation is patently false since the form she signed was presented to her by a Hackensack police desk sergeant, and Hackensack police chief ed koesner will confirm she did nothing wrong. The only way to correct this injustice is for the media to contact US Attorney Christopher Christies office and remove the case from the jurisdiction of the special prosecutors on Fort Dix who are handling the case which is now on appeal with the district court, and the US attorney’s office can reassign it to a neutral US attorney not affiliated with fort dix, and review the facts and circumstances of the trial and unjust conviction to determine if the case should in fact be dismissed. Also the media must pursue the potential threats Winkler and his client pose to national security ASAP by simply reporting what Egan does, who he associates with in N Korea, and who his attorney is and report the fact that Egan’s attorney Winkler was questioned by FBI and US army Military Intel officers on this issue last year. Finally, the female officer will be a key cooperating witness and the unjust conviction is the only thing that damages her credibility against Winkler, Please stop this threat and report the risk Egan poses to national security for being able to trade with North Korea and take several trips there and act as an unregistered agent for North Korea. Please stop this person from destroying any more honest and brave people that tried to expose this but are being prosecuted and targeted by wither Winkler or Egan.
