Al-Qaeda Terrorists to Gas U.S. Subways?

(WorldNetDaily) - Al-Qaeda terrorists have developed a crude device designed to spread deadly cyanide gas through the ventilation systems of crowded indoor facilities such as subways, according to a security directive issued by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. "Al-Qaeda remains intent on using chemical or biological agents in attacks on the homeland," says the five-page memo. "Terrorists have designed a crude chemical dispersal device fabricated from commonly available materials, which is designed to asphyxiate its victims." "Al-Qaeda has shown a continued interest in targeting subways, rail systems, dams and water facilities" in America, the memo warns. Citing "recent information" from al-Qaeda sources, the directive also warns of possible car-bombings in America, and advises security officials to take code-red protective measures to guard government buildings and gas and other chemical plants.
