Remember all those young men crossing the border - NCTC Warn of New Al-Qaida Plot in Memo; Loomer Claims 'Horrific' Multicity Attacks Coming
2025-09-21
[NEWSMAX] The National Counterterrorism Center issued a sobering memo Friday warning that U.S.-designated terrorist group al-Qaeda and its Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
-based affiliate, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula
...the latest incarnation of various Qaeda and Qaeda-allied groups, including the now-defunct Aden-Abyan Islamic Army that boomed the USS Cole in 2000...>
, remain intent on striking America.
Did that ever pause? The amazing thing is how few attacks have actually happened over the past quarter century…
In a nationwide advisory distributed to law enforcement, the agency said the groups are seeking to exploit ongoing global conflicts and U.S. involvement overseas.

Al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula "are likely seeking to leverage their media publications and global conflicts, particularly where there is U.S. support or military involvement, to inspire potential attackers," the memo read.

The National Counterterrorism Center, created in 2004 after the 9/11 attacks, urged government personnel to heighten vigilance.

Officials were told not to share travel plans online, to avoid carrying badges or IDs outside of work, and to stay alert for surveillance.

The memo also highlighted soft targets, including sporting events and concerts, urging local authorities to deploy visible law enforcement and conduct pre-event security briefings.
