Code Vague
I was hoping DEBKAfile had posted one of their "exclusive reports," laden with specific detail and informed speculation of a kind not usually provided by Tom Ridge. OK, it's my coping strategy for free-floating unease. Beats compulsive duct-taping, anyway.
They didn't disappoint:
The terrorists have been heading out of their strongholds in Hadhramouth east of Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, and slipping north and then west bearing large quantities of shoulder-launched ground-air missiles, weapons and different types of explosives. The fundamentalist terrorists then split up between two Saudi towns: Najran and Jizran...
The Najran group heads north to stage attacks within Saudi Arabia; the Jizran group boards aircraft headed for "points unknown."
...the working intelligence hypothesis is that they are already on their way to target destinations aboard outgoing passenger planes. It is also feared that some may have boarded unmarked aircraft waiting to pick them up... At this stage therefore the number of al Qaeda operatives on their way to overseas locations cannot be established, any more than their destinations. Their names will not appear on any passenger lists.
No word yet on that missing Angolan plane. (Correction: Harald of Daihatsu Graceland has found an update).
