Foiled JFK Terror Plot May Be Tip of Iceberg

New York, NY (TLS). The foiled terrorist plot to blow up JFK International Airport in New York is proving to have far-reaching ramifications. New information released this afternoon indicates the Islamic terrorists were also going to blow up jet fuel lines at LaGuardia Airport as well.

In addition, the pipeline that carries the jet fuel that feeds both JFK and LaGuardia originates in New Jersey and runs through residential sectors of Queens. In short, had these terrorists had access to the appropriate explosive devices, they not only could have blown to smithereens two major U.S. airports but several residential areas in a densely populated sector of New York.

But even this may be only the tip of the iceberg.

Back in January, The Liberty Sphere was the first to report that the Saudi government had information concerning suspicious activity at major U.S. airports involving strange persons who were watching restricted areas of the facilities, including Chicago's O'Hare.

According to sources investigating the foiled JFK terror plot, the perpetrators had been keeping the airports under surveillance since January of 2006. This particular plot and its details were uncovered by under-cover agents who infiltrated the gang of Muslim extremists who were planning the attack.

The FBI and other agencies of the nation's counterterrorism apparatus can be congratulated for this foiled plot. However, as our report showed in January, there may be more of these attacks planned for other airports around the nation.

The Saudis had identified O'Hare in Chicago in particular as one of the targets.

In addition, there is the shocking story that is still evolving involving the most wanted man in America, Islamic terrorist Adnan el-Shukrijumah and his plot to smuggle nuclear devices into the country in order to carry out an Al Qaeda-mandated simultaneous nuclear attack on major U.S. cities.

The bottom line is that the nation's risk level from terrorism is increasing. Our ability to identify and thwart such attacks is greatly improved, yet the level of risk is growing.

This should be a sobering warning to certain Presidential candidates who suggest that there should be no war on terror or who minimize the global threat posed by Muslim extremists.

The threat that was foiled today should be a stark reminder that we are living in an era when crazed Islamic fanatics will stop at nothing to kill thousands, if not millions, of Americans. For the U.S. to go about business as usual thinking that there is no real need to stay alert and fight this threat is tantamount to national suicide.
