NEW YORK (AP) — A mock movie poster warns al-Qaida wants to return to New York City, but authorities say there's no evidence of an actual threat.
Investigators learned about the online amateur graphic on Monday. The graphic shows the Manhattan skyline at sunset with "Al Qaeda" in bold type followed by "Coming Soon Again in New York."
Al-Qaida has been blamed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which destroyed the World Trade Center and killed thousands of people.
New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne says an overseas, Arab-language Internet site posted the graphic on its "artwork and design" page. He says the NYPD has been monitoring the site.
FBI spokesman J. Peter Donald says the agency takes all threats seriously and "there is no specific or credible threat to New York."

Al-Qaeda is in Syria now conducting terrorist attacks, will Obama help them too?
U.S. intelligence officials are “concerned about members of Al Qaeda in Iraq moving into Syria to assist the rebellion”, according to the Los Angeles Times (see article: Lawmaker: U.S. sees no sign of Assad's grip loosening in Syria http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-rogers-syria-assad-20120401,0,2710043.story )
This comes amid reports that the US will arm, equip and use taxpayer dollars to “pay” the rebellion to help oust President elect Assad from power (See article: U.S. Joins Effort to Equip and Pay Rebels in Syria http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/02/world/middleeast/us-and-other-countries-move-to-increase-assistance-to-syrian-rebels.html

We had to give up all of our rights, so that Al-Qaeda wouldn't get us, and now our tax dollars are paying them to overthrow governments.
Thanks Barack
