Israeli Counterterrorism expert, Juval Aviv, met recently with reporters at Fox News and revealed information, which he believes is accurate, concerning an imminent Al Qaeda attack on five to seven American cities simultaneously.

"I predict, based primarily on information that is floating in Europe and the Middle East, that an event is imminent and around the corner here in the United States. It could happen as soon as tomorrow, or it could happen in the next few months. Ninety days at the most," said Mr. Aviv.

Mr. Aviv knows of that which he speaks. He is a former Israeli Counterterrorism Intelligence Officer and has also served as a special consultant to the U.S. Congress on issues of terrorism and security. He is best known as the source of the 1984 book, Vengeance: The True Story of an Israeli Counter-Terrorist Team by George Jonas, on which Steven Spielberg's film Munich was based. He is also the author of The Complete Terrorism Survival Guide: How to Travel, Work and Live in Safety (2003); and Staying Safe: The Complete Guide to Protecting Yourself, Your Family, and Your Business (2004). Currently, Aviv is the president of Interfor, Inc., a corporate investigations firm in New York City.

Considering Aviv's background and experience in global terror and its operating methods, it would be foolish to ignore or minimize this veteran's expert prognosis. Mr. Aviv told Fox that, from what his sources have been relating, sleeper cells already positioned inside the continental United States are on the verge of carrying out major attacks.

"What they're going to do," he explained, "is hit six, seven or eight cities simultaneously to show sophistication and really hit the public. This time, which is the message of the day, it will not only be big cities. They're going to try to hit rural America. They want to send a message to rural America: "You're not protected. If you figured out that if you just move out of New York and move to Montana or to Pittsburgh, you're not immune. We're going get you wherever we can and it's easier there than in New York."

While this prediction leaves most Americans feeling helpless, fearful and frustrated, Aviv recommends that we at least do what we can. He suggests that for the next few months, if you are traveling by public transportation, equip yourselves with a bottle of water, a hand towel and a flashlight. He reminds us that many fatalities in the London tube and Madrid train attacks occurred from victims who breathed in the lethal fumes from bomb components and burning gasoline. Had these people had wet towels to cover their mouths and noses, they would have had a much better chance of survival.

In particular Aviv very strongly urges a policy of "If you See Something - Say Something". He reminds Americans that a great number of potentially lethal terror attacks in Israel have been - and still are - thwarted by the intelligent actions on the part of alert, aware and watchful citizens. Americans must do the same, he advises. The global war on terror is not "somewhere over there in the Middle East." It is here on our own soil. If ever there were a time to be especially vigilant, the time is now.

Let us hope and pray that these vicious enemies and their depraved plans will be prevented, and the perpetrators apprehended. US law enforcement, military, counter-terrorism and intelligence personnel have thus far done an outstanding job. Keep in mind, however, that the stakes are very uneven. Law enforcement and counter-terrorism agents must succeed 100% of the time in order to protect a population. Terrorists only have to succeed once to snuff out thousands of lives.

THEREFORE, please do not naively dismiss this article. Stay alert - stay away from crowds - and if you see something, say something! You could the one to save hundreds, if not thousands, of lives.


Repent and seek Yahweh's forgiveness for your sins before things start happening. When it starts, it may be to late. For the "Mystery of Iniquity" is at work and few in the Church understand what it is and who's affected by it.

1. Somebody who

talked to somebody says something bad might happen sometime, someday.


And then they told Faux Noise.

Whatever.

8. Huh? So this war should carry on? nt

[thunder rising]

2. public transportation ... and rural America (LOL)

I can just see farmer Bob plowing his field when his tractor explodes, climbs off the seat, kicks what's left of the left rear tire and yells, "John Deere that's that last piece of your junk I'm ever buy'n!"

15. I still get p!ssed

at the "Homeland Security" money that goes to freaking mid-America first responders.

In case it isn't obvious, I live in a larger metropolitan city. Yeah, they'll hit ME first...yet my tax money is out there protecting corn fields. Yay!

[Melynn]

3. Follow the money

Juval Aviv wants to sell books about surviving terrorist attacks. That's why he makes these predictions about terrorist attacks. The more the public thinks that there might be an attack, the more books that Aviv sells. It's simple.

4. Pittsburgh is rural?

is that foreshadowing?

12. He's on SNOPES and made a bogus prediction in 2005, too:

16. All our major cities are attacked nightly by that big dirty bomb Faux.

17. There is one thing I think "Aviv" is right about.

And please hear me out on this one...

In the big midwestern power outage of 2003, I worked in a office tower with an underground parking garage. It had two levels; one with a generator, one without. I was parked on the generator level. When we were cleared to leave (no power, no hope of it), I went to get in my car via the stairwells. When I entered the parking garage on my level, I was slammed with diesel fumes; the generator was choking its exhaust back into the parking garage (a problem that was later fixed). I ducked back into the stairwell, quickly. Luckily I had a T-shirt and bottle of water in my gym bag. I dampened the T-shirt and used it to get to my car (only fifty feet away, thankfully - I wouldn't have tried if it were much further, as visibility was quite poor).

Long story short: there are things that everyone needs to be aware of. A bottle of water and a hand towel (or T-shirt) is a small price to pay in a bad situation.

Weird that I'd agree with anything he said, but many wise people do point out that experience is the best teacher.

18. So if he has such great information on the targets and whatnot

Why is he telling news organizations and not someone like, I dunno, the FBI or someone who has the means to go after and arrest these people? Try sending that down his stovepipe and see what happens.
