No shortage of creative ideas from the terrorists. The Inauguration is a tempting target. Pray that our intelligence, Secret Service, security and law enforcement people can be as vigilant as we need them to be.
Limos are indeed a tool amenable to terrorists, not only in Washington, but at any major event.
"The document is believed to have been written by Issa al-Hindi, an al-Qaeda operative captured in Britain last year. It recommends concealing bombs in limos because the vehicles 'blend in' and 'can transport larger payloads than sedans ... and do not require special driving skills.' The limos can 'access underground parking structures that do not accommodate trucks' and 'have tinted windows that can hide an improvised explosive device from outside.' The document calls for the deployment of three limos, each carrying 12 or more compressed-gas cylinders to create a 'full fuel-air explosion by venting flammable gas into a confined space and then igniting it.' It suggests painting the cylinders yellow to falsely 'signify toxic gases to spread terror and chaos when emergency and haz-mat teams arrive.'"
