The article I read was called “US Investigates
Possible Internet threat To NYC.” It was published April 3rd of this
year. It says that the “US law enforcements and counterterrorism officials are
looking into recent occurrences on some websites that they think have links to
Al-Qaeda.” The website contains a picture that some people think resembles a
future attack directed at New York City. The website where it was posted on is
called the Ansar al Mujahiddin Arabic Forum, and the image is a picture of
Manhattan where a text located in the skyline of the picture reads “Al-Qaeda –
Coming soon again in New York.” The website is believed to have connections
with the Afghan Taliban, and a key militant leader in Jordan. I think that this
conflict with the Middle East will never die down and go away, especially when
things like this arise and start another issue. This obviously has the United
States’ attention, which will lead to yet another investigation and stir up
another conflict with the Middle East. I don’t think that the problem in the
Middle East will go away as there always is something that always seems to
arise. I think that there will always be issues between the United States and
the Middle East for at least the next decade, and that this is just one of many
more threats directed at the United States that will surface. I think the
Middle East is trying to get inside our head and try to make us think of possible
attacks they might launch in the future. Some may not think this, but I think
that the Middle East is trying to start something with us. It may not lead to a
huge war like the one that has been going on for over a decade, but I think
that they are trying to make the United States send more soldiers over to their
countries. Also, maybe this has to do with the fact that Obama withdrew the
soldiers from their land and since the terrorists have minds like no others,
they might be angered that they left.
Wow Greg! This is very interesting and nerve racking at the same time. It is scary to think that Al-Qaeda could be linked someway through websites. The thought of another attack on New York is horrifying. I hope that everyone takes this very serious and uses the right precautions to figure out who is behind this and make sure that everyone is going to be safe. After 9/11 it seems as if you cannot trust anyone anymore. I hope this is not a joke website, If it is in fact not real; the person or persons should be dealt with in a serious matter. It is never a joke when talking about Al-Qaeda. They have changed our country forever and not in a good way, that is how I will always remember Al-Qaeda. I agree with you this situation is never going to die down they have so much hatred towards our country still to this day even as we try and help them. The Middle East is most definitely playing games with us, so we can not back down we must show them that it is not a smart idea to mess with our country.
