It seems like a while since the last large terror threat, but I'm sure you've heard of the growing rumblings:

http://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/europe/10/03/europe.terror.advisory/index.html?hpt=T2
The United States issued a general travel alert for Americans in Europe on Sunday amid concerns that al Qaeda or related groups plan attacks similar to the 2008 massacre in the Indian city of Mumbai.
"U.S. citizens should take every precaution to be aware of their surroundings and to adopt appropriate safety measures to protect themselves when traveling," the notice from the U.S. State Department said. "We continue to work closely with our European allies on the threat from international terrorism, including al Qaeda."

Well...Europe can just surrender to Islam and everything will turn out just fine.
 
Apparently Germany is one alleged prime target.

And I thought there was no terror threat period. :con2:
 
German authorities insist that there is no specific threat they know about and that the "warnings" of US and UK are based on outdated information. I suspect political reasons as unhappiness with our involvement in Afghanistan is skyrocketing and nobody is buying the al CIA-da threat anymore. Same for France.

Except their victims of course.

Oh, and the thousands of intelligence people who track them everyday...

Oh, and the thousands of troops who engage them in battle everyday.

For all we know the German authorities are right.

And it's good to see that they stopped simply repeating every nonsense they are fed. This story coincides with the twenty year anniversary of reunification, and our new President gave a far from brilliant but goodwilling speech about integration today.
 
think the US issued the warning yesterday and the UK dutifully followed today: probably go their "intelligence" from the americans
 
I do wonder why this particular warning is getting so much attention compared to other warnings? For example the USA (and several other countries) during the summer issued the same type of warning regarding the UK and whilst it was reported at the time nothing to the degree this warning has been given. I suspect the journalists and many members of the public are just unaware of how (comparatively) common and run-of-the-mill these types of warnings are.
 
its kind of strange to follow in the News, sounds like people outside Europe are worried a lot more than the Authorities in Europe.

I am very surprised that you still have that view since it wasn't that long ago that you made this comment in a thread:

Pardalis said:
Yes of course, when you're talking about terrorism you're referring to the IRA 30 years ago... :rolleyes:

Maybe you're out of date? Just saying. Have you read the newspaper in the last 10 years?

Albeit your comment did come after examples of not just the threat of terrorism but actual recent terrorist attacks in my country, e.g.

Darat said:
And in the UK my major fear is from the terrorists in the UK that are "Christians" who are planting and setting off bombs, that are kidnapping people and forcing them to drive car bombs into areas, that are targeting and murdering policemen and the military. Haven't the various recent bombs and killings in my country made the news over in Australia? From less than a week ago: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-10848505
And today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-10924709

"... A booby-trap bomb has partially exploded under the car of a civilian security worker..."

So perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised.

And afterwards I added another example of an actual terrorist attack in the UK:

Why as much cause to be concerned? The terrorists I have the most concern about are those that are well organized, that have stockpiles of weapons and explosives and so on, none of which seem to apply to the threat from Islamic terrorists in my country.

And sadly another terrorist attack formed from the troubles: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-10983710

...snip...

Three children were injured in an explosion in Lurgan on Saturday. Dissident republicans are being blamed.

Chief Inspector Sam Cordner said police received a vague warning suggesting a bomb had been left at a primary school when the device was a few streets away.

...snip...

Twelve-year-old Demi Maguire was on her way to buy a loaf of bread with her two-year-old sister Carla and friend Lauren Hendron when the bomb went off.

"I didn't have a clue what it was. I just ran. It was a big shock and I was really nervous and upset," she said.

"Lauren's Irish dancing teacher took us into her house and gave Carla a lolly to calm her down.

"The police came and asked us if we were OK. About 15 minutes later the ambulance was there and checked us out to make sure we were alright."

In the UK there is not just the threat of terrorist attacks but I would say (almost) a certainty that there will be more terrorist attacks (attempted and actual) in the near future. No one should believe that the threat of terrorism in the UK is not real, it is.

Thousand of useless agents, which cannot track and arrest terrorists.

How can thousand of agents know that "terrorist teams in Europe have selected their targets, completed their surveillance, eluded capture and are now ready to strike at airports and tourist attractions"[*], but NOT ONE SINGLE PHOTOGRAPHY OF A SUSPECT is being released to help the population recognize the terrorists?

Has nothing to do with CT. German authorities are diplomatically saying that US and UK warnings are BS. It's all over the news.

This is interesting. Do you have any link? I wish the link to keep in my archive of possible false flag events.

Anyway, thank you by the information.
 
Anyone remember tanks being deployed at Heathrow?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/2749659.stm

Lol.

How were they expecting to have to use them? Fire a depleted uranium tank shell to dislodge a wheelie case from out of a swarthy male's grasp?

I vaguely remember that this whole palaver was set up at a politically opportune time for those in government.
Seems like the problem is that politicians have little to lose, in the short term at least, from issuing fearmongering warnings.
Gives them a self-invented authority boost for what they wanted to do anyway. The more we (the proles) are in a state of fear, the more relatively powerful they are.

Only after 9 years and hundreds of terror warnings and publicised changes of states of alert (and only a few terrorist attacks in the western world), does the true price manifest itself, i.e. hardly anyone outside the mainstream media takes these warnings seriously any more.

(And, furthermore, assuming a threat is real, how is the population supposed to act differently??... but that would be a whole other thread.)
