Although we have no specific or credibleinformation indicating that terrorists plan to attack theaters in the United States, terroristsmay seek to emulate overseas attacks on theaters here in the United States becausethey have the potential to inflict mass casualties and cause local economic damage.— (U//FOUO) On 4 April 2012, an al-Shabaab femalesuicide bomber detonated explosives at the NationalTheater in Mogadishu, Somalia during a speech bythe Somali Prime Minister attended by multiplecabinet members. The bomber blended in with theaudience until her attack, which targeted the VIPs inattendance.— (U//FOUO) On 7 April 2012, an al-Qa‘ida-linked violent extremist urged others toemulate the 2002 Moscow theater hostage attack—in which Chechen terroristsseized the Dubrovka Theater and held over 800 people captive for three daysuntil Russian security forces gassed the theater—by seizing crowded facilities inthe United States, including movie theaters; taking hostages; and demanding therelease of captured al-Qa‘ida-linked or -inspired violent extremists.(U//FOUO) These recent instances demonstrate that mass gatherings such as thoseassociated with theaters likely remain attractive terrorist targets. We encourage facilityowners and operators, security personnel, and first responders to remain vigilant andreport suspicious activities and behaviors that may indicate a potential attack.

Comment by Patricia M. McBride on July 22, 2012 at 10:04am: I was not about the web site. It was about the document which is a bona fide FBI document that I couldn't get to scoll down, so I went looking for someone who had the doc posted that I could capture. I don't care a bit about heavenclimb web site only the doc. I recieved links to the government PDF file, but the link is not functioning properly and the video I posted is about the FBI document. The point is that there was something out there saying this could happen and pretty much like the 9/11 mess where there were signs it could happen, the government took no action on it. I have also been reading a great deal about this guy that did this, and many believe he was programmed to do it as it was not his personality at all. The course of study he was in was one that takes folks off the tracks into mental manipulation and all sorts of things and one wonders if he was not victim to his own course of study. The night the news came out about this, I felt the timing on it was very suspect since there were not enough votes to pass this awful treaty Obama and Clinton are willing to sign taking away our second amendment rights. How nicely this incident (new crisis) plays into that. There are also others out there that suggest this is another government run "fast and furious" type activity. I am not sure of that, but I still believe the timing on this is no coincidence.
