Al-Qaeda Threatens to Nuke New York on February 2

[The Mad Viking]

Everyone agreed the threat was BS.

What surprises me is that everyone who offered an opinion suggested it was a terrorist scare tactic.

I would say that is the least likely of three alternatives.

A hoax perpertrated by spammerhackers is quite likely.

A counterintel op by the US is also quite likely. Nothing like a little civilian fear to make the public more supportive of the military / government...

If everyone agreed the threat was BS where's the civilian fear to make the public more supportive of the military / government?
