TEXAS NAMED AS POSSIBLE TERROR ATTACK TARGET
Federal officials are investigating reports of a possible Al Qaeda attack on three U.S. states on Monday, including Texas.
According to CBS news, Texas, Virginia, and New York are possible targets but no specific locations have been mentioned.
Sources tell CBS news that the counterterrorism and homeland security communities remain vigilant and well-postured to defend against attacks in the United States.
U.S. authorities say they are taking the threat seriously, though the sources stress the intelligence is still being assessed and its credibility hasn’t been confirmed.

In the 1970s and the 1980s, College Station was in the top 10 of areas the USSR would bomb in the event of a nuclear war with the USA. Sometime ago the leader of North Korea gave some kind of speech with a world map behind him. The map had lines drawn that were flight lines of attack. People laughed because it looked like there was a line to Austin! But in reality, it was probably to College Station for the same reason. And what is the reason? Texas A&M University has a NUCLEAR REACTOR.
We need to wake up as Americans. Terrorism is a very real threat here. USA is hated by many countries.
The odds of this actually happening in Texas are slim to none…probably even slimmer in Virginia. Don’t let these unrealistic threats stop you from going out and voting! Let your voice be heard Brenham (and surrounding towns).
I would like to advise these clowns that if they think for a split second that every citizen in Texas, and certain counties are not heavily fortified, they’re wrong. All I can say is “Bring It” We’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I, and other’s would not hesitate to forfeit our lives for our country. In fact, I can’t think of a more honorable way to die. Semper-Fidelis!
This isn’t an invasion…if some average joe were to have a suicide belt on beneath there clothes you would never know you were being attacked until it is too late. I’m all for being armed, but unless these terrorists are going to be attacking people with machetes or butter knives, your gun won’t do any good against an explosive of any sort.
I was just thinking the same thing.. How do you defend yourself from a pipe bomb or pressure cooker bomb. Open carry is useless..
Now we know why they had a training exercise near Giddings. …
