Al Qaeda Reminds The Obama Administration The “War On Terror” Is Not Over…The CIA Foils Their Plot

Two weeks ago, a member of the Obama Administration declared the “War On Terror” was over.  Al Qaeda just reminded them that it is not.  Using new technology for an improved underwear bomb, Al Qaeda operatives schemed to blow up a plane headed for the U.S.  The primary motivation was to avenge the death of their beloved martyr, Osama bin Laden, on the anniversary of his death.  But, the CIA foiled the plot.

According to Fox News,

The CIA has unraveled a terror plot by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula to destroy a U.S.-bound airliner using an underwear bomb around the one-year anniversary of the killing of Usama bin Laden.

The plot involved an upgrade of the underwear bomb that failed to detonate aboard a jetliner over Detroit on Christmas 2009. This new bomb was also designed to be used in a passenger’s underwear, but this time Al Qaeda developed a more refined detonation system, U.S. officials told the Associated Press.

“Initial exploitation indicates that the device is very similar to IEDs that have been used previously by Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in attempted terrorist attacks, including against aircraft and for targeted assassinations,” the FBI said in a written statement. “The FBI currently has possession of the IED and is conducting technical and forensics analysis on it.”

Part of the examination includes seeing if the bomb could have gone undetected through airport security, and if it had the power to take down an airplane, officials said.

They added that the device did not contain metal, meaning it probably could have passed through an airport metal detector. But it was not clear whether new body scanners used in many airports would have detected it.

The would-be suicide bomber, based in Yemen, had not yet picked a target or bought his plane tickets when the CIA stepped in and seized the bomb, officials said. It’s not immediately clear what happened to the alleged bomber.

A U.S. official told Fox News that Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, remains “committed to striking targets in Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the Homeland, and Europe. And AQAP is probably feeling pressure to conduct a successful attack to, from their perspective, avenge the deaths of bin Laden and Awlaki.”

Besides their fascination with underwear, the terrorists are improving the next generation of bomb plots to include surgically implanted bombs that cannot be detected.  But, the Obama Administration wants us to believe that the “War on Terror” is over.  Seriously?  Why is Obama so determined to downplay Islamofascist terror?
