Heads Up! Terror Plot Against Germany

Intelligence chatter in recent months indicate that al-Qaeda operatives are plotting a terrorist attack on unspecified targets in Germany. Security agencies have intercepted communications revealing that al-Qaeda of the Islamic Mahgreb (North Africa) has been assigned to conduct a 9-11 scale terrorist attack on a German target.

According to analysts with the Institute of Terrorism Research and Response (ITRR), a recently intercepted jihadist communication declares that "everyone knows" that the "next strike is very near, a strike that will surprise everyone in its effect, which will be much more shocking than that of 9/11/2001." The writer of the chilling message notes that this is the Muslim month of Ramadan and that "we pray that it will indeed be in this month."

After referring to a previous boast by Osama Bin-Laden, that the enemy is afraid and unable to prevent the next attack, the communication says:

"And the Germans, grandchildren of the Nazis, know more than everyone else that they will be the first ones to taste [the nightmare]. It is just a matter of time - that is, days or weeks - and God willing you'll see things that you've never heard of before."

The latest jihadist communications specify timing of the attack to coincide with the end of Ramadan (September 19) and the date of the German national elections (September 27).
