Are Terrorists Targeting Wall Street?

 

CNBC.com recently reported that al Qaeda terrorists in Yemen may be targeting financial institutions or their executives for an attack in the not too distant future. Such attacks could be in the form of package bombs or chemical or biological agents transmitted through the mail. Wall Street firms have been briefed by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and encouraged to increase their security.

There is nothing specific as far as anyone knows. The current information was discovered in the al Qaeda magazine “Inspire” and the web writings of blogger Abu Suleiman Al-Nasser. Al-Nasser wrote about earlier plots before the information was publicly known. Also officials feel the warning is necessary since Yemen terrorists tried to send package bombs on U.S. airliners last October bound for U.S. cities.
Any threat that could compromise lives and our financial system need to be taken seriously. Investors as well as banking officials should be forewarned.
