If there's no there there, then why did he issue it? Yeah, we're skeptical of everything he does. He's earned that status. Was this just a rouse to somehow someway get center stage and change the narrative away from his failed policies and coming November Punishment?
DEBKAfile's counter-terror sources specializing in al Qaeda are increasingly uncomfortable with and skeptical of the comprehensive, imprecise American terror alert embracing all of Europe that was issued Oct. 3 by the US State Department. Our European and Middle East intelligence agencies anti anti-terror organs commented Tuesday, Oct. 5, that the blanket US call for US travelers to watch out for terrorist attacks in public places and tourist sites has little relation to their own data on existing terrorist threats.
Even the countries which have raised their level of terror alert, such as France, Japan and Sweden, have not received specific data from Washington confirming reports of an imminent attack. For instance, the "Kilowatt Group" for international cooperation among intelligence services on counterterrorism, which has the biggest data base on al Qaeda and international terrorist organizations, has not received any fresh updates on the US-sourced alert.
Furthermore, DEBKAfile's sources stress, Israel's counter-terror center in Jerusalem has not issued advisories about travel to Europe, threats to Jewish centers or danger in the continent's transport systems and airports which are frequented by Israeli tourists. Israel authorities, normally hypersensitive to any hint of terrorism, have not advised Israeli or Jewish institutions in Europe to raise their alert level like the Americans and the British.
Our intelligence sources, furthermore, cannot confirm that the suspected terrorists cited in the last few days as sources of information for imminent attacks are actually in possession of this information or have any relevance to them.
