An al Qaeda plot is linked to an announcement by the State Department that it was closing several consulates and embassies around the world on Sunday due to a security threat, CBS News has learned.
CBS News correspondent David Martin reports that U.S. intelligence has picked up signs of an al Qaeda plot against American diplomatic posts in the Middle East and other Muslim countries. The intelligence does not mention a specific location, which is why all embassies that would normally be open on Sunday have been ordered to close. That includes embassies and consulates in the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, where Sunday is the start of the work week.
Martin further reported that officials say this appears to be a real plot in the making and not just the normal chatter among terrorists talking about attacks they'd like to carry out. But these same officials add they are missing key pieces of information.
As of 7:00 a.m. ET Friday, at least 17 embassies have announced that they will close on Sunday in accordance with the State Department's guidance, including the U.S. embassies in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Libya, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Mauritania, Sudan and Djibouti. A statement on the website of the embassy in Kuwait explained, "The Department of State has instructed certain U.S. Embassies and Consulates to remain closed or to suspend operations on Sunday, August 4...Accordingly, the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait will be closed on Sunday, August 4."

"We are closing on your scheduled attack day...you will have to reschedule"
Why not just keep quiet...be sure the buildings are empty and see what happens?
I am starting to wonder about this Obama guy.
Remember Benghazi ...the one where we had the tip..Even the guy at the embassy knew before hand and said he needed out or needed some security...instead what happened...we made it a point to do nothing !!
The dickface democrat administration said it was the fault of the republicans as they were to tight with funding the militairy!!....Wow..the same dickfaces who claim the Republicans were the hold up of cutting military spending !!
Trying to say they couldnt afford to do anything about it..........Bullshit.
How in the fuck did this guy get reelected ?
