Inspire Magazine

Al-Qaeda's Inspire Magazine qoutes: "In such an environment of security phobia that is sweeping America, it is more feasable to stage smaller attacks that involve less players and less time to launch and thus we may circumvent the security barriers America worked so hard to erect." This is called "Operation Hemorrhage" or in some places "the strategy of a thousand cuts". It began with the printer cartridges placed on UPS aircraft. Full body scans are apt to find nothing, as Al-Qaeda has decided to shift tactics. We've been successfull in foiling many small attacks but can we be everywhere all the time? I've said for years that I see a day when suicide bombers are common within our borders. Al - Qaeda and jihadists mean to "bleed" us to death. America is not ready for mutliple sustained attacks, neither medically nor psychologically. And recently a suicide bomber in Israel was found to have Hepatitis - thus spreading the disease through the intrusion of shrapnel into the victims. There are numerous way to introduce bioagents into more traditional weaponary. I contend we are not ready for this scenario.
