Intelligence and law enforcement sources tell ABC News they are expecting al Qaeda operatives will post a new video on the Internet in the next 24 hours, calling for what one source said is "jihadists to use biological, chemical and nuclear weapons to attack the West."
FBI presents four Iraqi witnesses to testify before federal grand jury.

"There have been several reports that al Qaeda will release a new message calling for the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) against civilians," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko told ABC News in an e-mail.

"Although there have been similar messages in the past, the FBI and have no intelligence of any specific plot or indication of a threat to the U.S.," the e-mail said. "The FBI and U.S. intelligence community will review the message for any intelligence value."

While there is no evidence of any direct threat, the FBI sent a bulletin to 18,000 law enforcement agencies across the country, out of an abundance of caution.

3. "...no evidence of any direct threat..." so they sent the message

out of an abundance of SHITHEADEDNESS and FEARMONGERING and a let's give the Unelected Imbecile the excuse to cancel elections and declare himself dick-tater ('cos he's a dick with the IQ of a tater).

"Several reports" my ass. Same old shit.

5. It doesn't matter.

The media, left wingers to a man, will spin it to look like he wants Senator Obama to win, so "Vote for McCain to put Bin Laden down!"
