BE ON ALERT: SERIOUS and SUBSTANTIATED TERRORIST THREAT PENDING...for Embassies, Transportation centers, and travelling Americans. Best intelligence in years verifies that terrorists have a team engaged to ACT in the next six weeks. "In a statement released Saturday night, the White House announced Mr. Obama was briefed again by National Security Adviser Susan Rice and Lisa Monaco, his counterterrorism and homeland security adviser, after Rice chaired a meeting of top officials to review the threat. In addition to Monaco and Rice, the meeting was attended by Army Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the National Security Agency; CIA Director John Brennan; Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel; FBI Director Robert Mueller and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, among other officials. Worldwide, 22 U.S. embassies and consulates are preparing to close their doors Sunday. The State Department says there is a potential for a terrorist attack "particularly in the Middle East and North Africa." Officials have specifically mentioned Yemen as a potential target. The country is home base for Al Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula, also known as AQAP, a terrorist group that many now consider the most dangerous in the world. Historically the month of August has been an active one for terrorist organizations. Fifteen years ago this week, twin U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania claimed more than 200 lives and injured more than 4,000."
