Umm, It's Not A Secret Anymore

From the Houston Chronicle: An intercepted secret message between al-Qaida chief Ayman al-Zawahri and his deputy in Yemen about plans for a major terror attack was the trigger that set off the current shutdown of many U.S. embassies, two officials told The Associated Press on Monday.

A U.S. intelligence official and a Mideast diplomat said al-Zawahri's message was picked up several weeks ago and appeared to initially target Yemeni interests. The threat was expanded to include American or other Western sites abroad, officials said, indicating the target could be a single embassy, a number of posts or some other site. Lawmakers have said it was a massive plot in the final stages, but they have offered no specifics.

The intelligence official said the message was sent to Nasser al-Wahishi, the head of the terror network's organization, based in Yemen, known as al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue publicly.   http://www.chron.com/news/politics/article/Al-Qaida-chief-s-message-led-to-embassy-closures-4706784.php?cmpid=hpts

So, will the NSA or DOJ go after the leakers who went to the press like they pursued Eric Snowden? How about the lawbreakers err, makers who also leaked the information?

Or was this whole terrorist alert just made up?

I hate it when you cannot trust the government, even when it comes to terrorism alerts.  It didn't used to be that way.
