Striking America's most vulnerable

A chilling assessment of a possible attack on American schoolchildren. Beslan has to be the most horrific, savage and animalistic act by Islamists in modern history. And yet, al Qaeda has made training tapes attacking schools, using English. Fore warned is fore armed.

Striking America's most vulnerable

On Sept. 1, 2004, Chechens affiliated with al Qaida seized a middle school in Beslan, Russia. In the three day siege, 334 people — most of them children — were killed.
Could something like that happen here?
U.S. forces seized in 2002 an al Qaida training tape of a practice assault on an abandoned school in Mir Bach Kot in Afghanistan. The terrorists were barking commands in English.
U.S. forces in Iraq found on a captured al Qaida computer building plans for schools in six states.
In May of 2006, two Saudi students at the University of South Florida boarded a school bus. They were "cagey and evasive" in explaining why they boarded the bus, said a spokesman for the Hillsborough County sheriff.
In March, the FBI issued a bulletin to law enforcement warning that Muslims "with ties to extremist groups" were signing up to be school bus drivers.


A Houston television station reported in August that 17 large yellow school buses have been stolen.
Al Qaida prefers middle schools because the girls are old enough to rape, but the boys aren't big enough to fight back, says retired Army LtCol. Dave Grossman, who runs a private security firm.
Why would al Qaida contemplate something so monstrous?
Al Qaida may lack the strength to attack a heavily defended target such as a military base or a nuclear power plant. But attacking a school would be child's play. LtCol. Grossman thinks schools in rural areas are the most likely targets, because response time from law enforcement would be slower.
"The terrorists' primary objective is to instill fear in every one of us," former FBI agent Don Clark said on the Glenn Beck program in September. "What better way to attack our schools and murder our children?"
