There is a high likelihood of a major terrorist attack next Sunday, say international terror analysts and intelligence sources.There is increased "chatter" in the terrorist world about a major new attack in the West – a sign often leading to an impending strike.
The date Feb. 5 has been specifically referenced in some of this chatter.
The date is significant to Osama bin Laden. Feb. 5, 1989, was the day the last Soviet troops withdrew from Kabul, Afghanistan, signaling their defeat at the hand of the mujahedeen. Kabul was the capital of Osama's adopted country and was a major win for him and Islam. Significantly, perhaps, in bin Laden's audio release he referenced the U.S. withdrawing from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Much of the western world will be watching television that day.
The release of al-Qaida videotapes seems to provide clues about the dates of future attacks and, in this scenario, Feb. 5 becomes the most likely near-term terror strike date.
Terror attacks seem to follow the release of al-Qaida videos by about 30 days. Some intelligence analysts are noting the significance of the release of videos recently by both Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri.
Zawahiri released his last video Jan. 6, making Feb. 5 the most likely target date, according to past attacks. It also happens to be Super Bowl Sunday, when the eyes of the entire world will be watching America. Some analysts suggest the release of communiqués by both al-Zawahiri and bin Laden might be the precursor to a mega-attack – something even rivaling Sept. 11 in scope and devastation.
Despite the recent taped messages, authorities say there are "no credible threats against the Super Bowl."
