Porque nos querem fazer crer que somos todos iguais.
Em termos económicos esta não pega:
E preciso muita atenção não digo que não é possível vir a acontecer um ataque de qualquer organização terrorista, em abono da verdade ninguém o pode garantir mas é necessário muita calma, não enbarcar na onda este tipo de notícias já são frequentes e temos de nos habituar a viver no meio deste pânico em que transformaram as nossas vidas.

Não ceder é a palavra de ordem. Vigilantes mas não cair na tentação de correr a vender. Este tipo de notícias poderão vir de fontes com alguma credebilidade, mas há todo uma máquina montada que as tenta trabalhar em proveito próprio, disso não tenhamos qualquer ilusão.

Os ditos gordos tem de ganhar sempre, nem que tenham de se socorrer deste tipo de notícias.

New York Police Issues Terror Advisory to Businesses (Update3)
Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- The New York Police Department said it has received intelligence reports that al-Qaeda, the terrorist group that attacked the World Trade Center, ``continues to target commercial and financial institutions, as well as international organizations.''

In a written statement, the police department said it has ``deployed its resources'' in response to the information, and it asked corporate security officials to check building ventilation systems, parking facilities, and be extra vigilant when confronted with visitors. The city's terror threat remains at ``orange,'' or ``high,'' the second-highest level, said the department, which didn't provide any more threat specifics.

Police released the message, which included information previously distributed to businesses on surveillance measures, as ABC News and the New York Times reported that the threat dealt specifically with New York City. The Times said New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly had discussed the threat information with Pasquale D'Amuro, assistant director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's New York Field Office. Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge will hold a press briefing in Washington at 2 p.m., spokeswoman Shannon Galey said.

The reported threat comes less than a month before the Aug. 30-Sept. 2 Republican National Convention to be held in New York at which President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney will accept their party's nomination to run for president. Homeland Security's Ridge last month said the risk of attacks within the U.S. is higher as the nation moves toward the Nov. 2 presidential election.

Mexican Crossings

ABC News, citing several unidentified law enforcement agencies, reported last night that an unnamed overseas source had said al-Qaeda planned suicide attacks in the city. The ABC News report said intelligence sources described a plot involving non- Arab terrorists entering the U.S. through Mexico, and that attacks may involve one or more suicide truck bombings, a tactic that has used by terrorists elsewhere around the world and that law enforcement officials said would be difficult to prevent.

The New York Times said the warning appeared to be linked to the July 19 arrest of Farida Goolam Mohamed Ahmed, after she entered the U.S. from Mexico by crossing the Rio Grande. Ahmed had an altered passport, several thousand dollars in cash and a plane ticket to New York and authorities charged her with illegal entry, making false statements and falsifying a passport, according to CNN.

Couriers?

The Times cited unnamed law enforcement officials who said the woman's name was believed to have been on a terrorist watch list, and that she may have been sent as ``a courier'' to pass a message or documentation to someone. The newspaper also quoted an unnamed New York City law enforcement source saying, ``the concern was that she may be part of a team.'' The woman hasn't admitted to any criminal intent, the Times said.

Ahmed was detained while trying to board a flight to New York and was carrying a South African passport with four pages missing, the Associated Press reported, citing court documents. She was denied bail on Tuesday. Ahmed hasn't been charged with any terrorist activity, according to her court-appointed attorney Kyle Welch, the news agency said.

Al-Qaeda hijacked four passenger jets on Sept. 11, 2001, killing almost 3,000 in attacks on New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Washington, and in a plane crash outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Instructions

In its instructions, the police department said building security personnel should be aware that any bomb threats against their company could be ``designed to evaluate your response.''

Police asked company officials to be on guard for ``infiltration of your operation by individuals seeking employment, visitors to your facility who claim to be lost or appear disoriented, maintenance work that isn't announced or scheduled, deliveries that are not anticipated, people asking directions to sensitive areas,'' and other measures designed to ``discourage potential surveillance attempts.''

Police also instructed security personnel to check identification cards and insist that employees display them, and to have ready ``bomb threat checklists at all areas where employees may receive incoming calls.''

Companies should check their ``emergency generators, elevator recall operations and life safety systems,'' the police message said. Patrols should be ``conducted by uniformed security personnel at irregular times,'' including checking the building's roof, the advisory said.

`No Higher Priority'

Ray Pellechia, a spokesman for the New York Stock Exchange, which is based in the city's financial district in lower Manhattan, said the exchange wouldn't discuss its security plans. Peter Rose, a spokesman for New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc., the third-biggest U.S. securities firm by capital, said he couldn't comment on the company's specific security plans.

``There is no higher priority for us than the safety of our people,'' Rose said. ``We are cognizant of the times we live in.''

While the terror alert level in the U.S. is at yellow, the third-highest level, indicating a ``elevated'' risk of terrorist attacks, Ridge last month said law enforcement is increasing steps to prevent attacks. He designated last week's Democratic convention in Boston and this month's Republican gathering ``national security events.''

Convention Preparations

New York, the largest U.S. city, has been on the equivalent of orange alert since the Sept. 11 attacks. Kelly last month said police have been preparing for the convention, which will require the deployment of as many as 10,000 officers. Security for the city's mass transit system was reconfigured after the March 11 train bombings in Madrid, which killed 191 people.

Kelly, who has estimated it would cost the city as much as $65 million to provide police overtime to cover the convention and other needs throughout the city, has been deploying squads of more than 100 officers and squad cars to locations around Manhattan on short notice as part of a strategy intended to keep possible terrorist surveillance actions off guard.
