A few days after the tenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the specter of terrorism returns to hover over the United States. Like ten years ago, attention is focused on the cities of Washington and New York, symbols of the political and economic power of the USA. Intelligence sources speak of a "reliable" threat. The news was made official by President Obama himself, who insisted on the subject during his press conference yesterday.
The threat would be brought by three Islamic extremists who arrived in August from Iran and Saudi Arabia, who plan to detonate car bombs during the celebrations in memory of the victims. The design would be in line with the plans that were found in Osama Bin Laden's villa.
