WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Al Qaeda and other Islamic militant
groups may be considering attacks against Veterans Affairs hospitals in
the United States, U.S. law enforcement officials said.

Citing reports of "suspicious activity" at VA hospitals in Colorado and
Bethesda, Maryland, the FBI (news - web sites) and Department of
Homeland Security issued a bulletin on Thursday urging law enforcement
agencies around the country to be vigilant.

The agencies stressed they had no credible information about any
specific planned attacks.

U.S. officials have warned of possible attacks in the run-up to
presidential elections in November. On Aug. 1 they raised the terror alert
to "high" for financial institutions in New York, New Jersey and
Washington.

Al Qaeda and affiliated groups may be eyeing Veterans Affairs hospitals
as symbolic targets, believing they are less heavily defended than
traditional military installations, the agencies said.

"These facilities may be considered attractive targets due to their
association with the military and a perception that such an attack may
be more successful than an attack against traditional military targets,"
the agencies said.

They said concern was sparked by reports of possible reconnaissance
being conducted at military medical facilities, including hospitals in
Bethesda, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and Aurora, Colorado.

It advised officials to watch for signs of "similar surveillance activities at
VA hospitals and other key facilities."

Does this really surprise you? These are the same people who think nothing of self-detonating in a crowd of innocent civilians, or for that matter, flying airliners into office buildings. In both cases the perpetrators are immediately inducted in Paradise and the 72 virgins which come with their "sacrifice".

Incidently, they're also the same ones who cling to the fundamentalist Islamic code of Sharia which we have mentioned elsewhere, a 14th century feudal code by which (amongst other things) women live at and for the pleasure of men.

We as a society cannot yet grasp this, but we truly are coming into what may well turn out to be the 3rd World War. Only this time, it's not going to be a war of nations, it's going to be a war of civilisations (depending on how nasty it gets and whether it can be contained). They hate us for what we are. This will not change in our lifetimes, I fear.

No. Doesn't surprize me ...common sense will see the best targets to get results and a fixed mindset will stop at nothing to protect their status quo, honour, whatever, medieval or otherwise. 9/11 had me scaredofbuying bulk foods... finally gave in and bought. If I get contaminated food, I guess I do.

There is NO safe place. Hyprvigilance is a way of life and I can only see that growing. Pessimist or realist? What do you think?

Belief is a scarey thing because it won't bend until proved wrong...unlikely in a closed mindset.Mess with "their way" and they will take you out if they can't push you out, likeany trapped animal instinctively hell bent on survival.

Natural progression WILL happen until something changes the direction.

You or me babe, ONE of us has gots to go and it ain't gonna be me, babe, because I'm right so get the hell out of my face or I'll take you out. You're cramping my style and making it hard for me to get my angels wings!

Where's my CMP when I need it says "yappy"?

Their have been incidences of female Palestinian suicide bombers, I just wonder what inducements they've been promised in the afterlife? Their own "Manpower" revue? An afterlife totally free of Muslim men?

The Americans first found Muslim fundamentalists to be troublesome after the 1898 (yes 1898) Spanish War when they had to deal with Muslim separatists in the their new colony of the Phillipines. To quell the revolt, the Americans came down hard on the rebels by dipping their bayonets in pigs blood before battle, thus denying any Martyrs a trip to Paradise. The supply of devout recruits willing to die for Allah soon dryed up and the revolt ended, but the cause for a Muslim state in the Phillipines continues to this day.

It seems that this promise of a free ticket to Paradise is one of the ways to stop the problem of suicidal terrorism.
