https://www.nbcnews.com/news/rcna121043 Al Qaeda is still a thing? I thought ISIS took their place. Law enforcement officials are concerned about attacks on Jewish Americans, as well as Arab Americans and Muslim Americans, over the events in Israel and Gaza. Pro-Hamas extremists are flooding social media platforms with calls for attacks on Jewish communities and other targets in the United States and Europe, prompting U.S. law enforcement agencies to step up their readiness postures amid deep concerns about possible violence, American officials and private analysts told NBC News. Tuesdays explosion at a hospital in Gaza is threatening to become a flashpoint, they said, with posts on X and other platforms portraying it as an Israeli atrocity using an American-made bomb, despite an assessment from U.S. intelligence agencies that the damage resulted from an errant missile fired by a Palestinian militant group. Groups linked to Al Qaeda and American neo-Nazis have been seeking to exploit the ongoing war to encourage attacks, according to two separate intelligence products obtained by NBC News. You must attack them in their homes, shops, posts and places of amusement Tear their bodies apart, let their blood flow and take revenge for your martyrs, said one Al Qaeda post quoted in an intelligence bulletin by the New York Police Department, which has maintained a global intelligence network since 9/11. The Al Qaeda branch in the Indian subcontinent, known as AQIS, is calling for attacks on Americans, British and French nationals, the bulletin said, while another Al Qaeda-aligned propagandist issued an online call for attacks using silencers, explosives and knives. A Homeland Security official told NBC News that the DHS is monitoring a heightened threat environment in the United States and is concerned about attacks on Jewish-Americans, as well as Arab-Americans and Muslim-Americans. The intensity has gotten worse, the official said, noting that DHS, the FBI and the National Counterterrorism Center are constantly monitoring the threat environment, including online chatter. Last Saturday, a 6-year-old Palestinian American boy was stabbed to death in his Illinois home by his landlord in what police described as an anti-Muslim hate crime. A separate intelligence bulletin by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a think tank that monitors extremism on the web and feeds information to law enforcement agencies, said Al Qaeda-linked groups and others posted a series of messages in response to the Gaza hospital incident, calling for attacks on U.S. and Israeli embassies and other targets. "We are currently in a heightened threat environment," the NYPD said on Wednesday. The NYPD is requiring all on-duty officers to be in uniform, and is adding patrols moves designed to deter bad actors and reassure the public, said former NYPD Chief of Counterterrorism James Waters. Theres no specific or credible threat to New York City or the homeland, Waters added. That being said, New York City has been squarely in the bull's-eye of terrorists for a long time. They would love nothing more than to come back to New York again and make a big statement to cause fear or even worse death or destruction. ... Copied to Clipboard!
