Emblazoned on the forefront of the post is the text ‘Al Qaeda: Coming Soon Again in New York.’…” (Terrorist threats will increase as a final sign before Christ returns – Luke 21: 9, 27, 28, 31, and 32.

WND.com reports: “Terror cells have been placed on high alert to attack targets in the United States and Europe should Iran’s nuclear facilities be attacked, a source in the Revolutionary Guards says.

The terror cells in the U.S. are being coordinated by Quds Force personnel operating out of the Iranian Interests Section in Washington, the source says. Because Iran and the U.S. have no diplomatic relations, Iran’s Interests Section operates under the umbrella of the Pakistani embassy…

Haaretz reports: “Iran and the United States are engaged in a shadow war, Dr. Matthew Levitt, director of the Stein Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at The Washington Institute, told the Congress Committee of Homeland Security…

According to Levitt, who had been deputy assistant secretary for intelligence and analysis at the U.S. Department of the Treasury in the past, Iranian leaders appear to be more willing to approve attacks in the U.S.

Voice of America News reports: “The Republican chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, Peter King, said the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah may have hundreds of operatives based in the United States, and he said Hezbollah, and not al-Qaida, poses the greatest terrorist threat to Americans. King held a hearing with former government officials testifying.

House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King of New York takes U.S. national security very seriously, and he says the terrorist threat to the United States may be shifting.

‘Now, as Iran moves closer to nuclear weapons, and there is increasing concern over war between Iran and Israel, we must also focus on Iran’s secret operatives and their number one terrorist proxy force, Hezbollah, which we know is in America,’ said King…” (Iran claims to have 40,000 suicide bombers trained and waiting to wreak mass devastation upon American lives and soil.

A U.S. State Department official confirmed the killing of the U.S. citizen in a statement sent to VOA, condemning it as a ‘heinous crime’ and urging Yemen to bring those responsible to justice.

Al-Qaida linked group Ansar al-Sharia sent a text message to Yemen-based journalists saying it killed the American because he was a Christian missionary.

BBC News reports: “British youths from African communities could become radicalised as al-Qaeda looks to Africa to build its strength, the Rusi think tank has suggested.

It says such a development would pose new challenges for UK and other Western intelligence services.

It warns of potential for new or greater radicalisation among British youths from the Somali and other east and west African communities.

Radicalisation has already been seen during the past 15 years among some young members of the Pakistani, North African and Indian communities in Britain, the report published by the Royal United Services Institute suggests.

Report author Valentina Soria said: ‘Most significant is the potential for radicalisation and then mobilisation of a new subset of British youths.’

‘The UK could soon be facing much greater radicalisation among the Somali minority and new radicalisation in some sections of other communities from east and west African countries.’…”
