ABC News story out earlier today highlights an FBI report on an al Qaeda threat on U.S. shopping malls
Although it isn't directly driving today's trading, there was an ABC News story out earlier today regarding an FBI report on an al Qaeda threat on U.S. shopping malls. We wanted to provide information on the story, as it may start making more headlines over the next few days... ABC News reports that the FBI is warning that al Qaeda may be preparing a series of holiday attacks on U.S. shopping malls in Los Angeles and Chicago, according to an intelligence report distributed to law enforcement authorities across the country this morning. The alert said al Qaeda "hoped to disrupt the U.S. economy and has been planning the attack for the past two years." Law enforcement officials tell ABCNews.com that the FBI received the information in late September and declassified it yesterday for wide distribution. The alert, like similar FBI and Department of Homeland Security terror alerts issued over the past five years at holiday times, raised questions about the credibility of the information. The bulletin acknowledges that U.S. intelligence officers are uncertain as to whether the information is real, and intelligence officers say there is a concern that it could be "disinformation." We have no credible, specific information suggesting an imminent attack," a DHS official said.
