The newly released videotape shows a Taliban 'graduation' that was taped nearly three weeks ago. Is there a connection between this and the following stories?
Terror Hits Europe
Late last week, the main terminal of the Glasgow International Airport was rammed by a burning car. The car was then set on fire, severely burning one attacker, the driver, and later resulting in several minor explosions. This attack came one day after two unexploded car bombs were discovered in central London.
The London attacks consisted of two attempted car bombings which failed due to technical reasons. The explosives - safely defused by a bomb squad - were reportedly powerful enough to have caused "significant injury or loss of life" - possibly killing hundreds. British authorities have officially linked all three incidents to al Qaeda, despite a few experts who believed that the bombings were led by amateurs due to the lack of professional execution of the attacks.
New evidence linking the attacks with al Qaeda came in an unusual way early this week when reports surfaced that several of the bombing suspects arrested in the Glasgow and London attacks were doctors who were apparently al Qaeda operatives working undercover in British hospitals. More here...
Of course, all of this news is on the heels of the installment of the new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Brown has succeeded Tony Blair who now will assume the role as Envoy for the Quartet on the Middle East.
Regardless, news of the terror attacks have caused chaos to spread throughout London. Britain has responded by raising its national security threat level to its highest, meaning another attack is expected "imminently." British officials have also responded by stepping up security at over 850 sites all over the country.
In addition, intelligence reports have indicated that Scotland, the Czech Republic, and Germany are all under severe terror alerts throughout the summer months. France, Germany, Italy, Denmark and Spain have also tightened their anti-terror precautions.
Secret U.S. Report Warns of Terror ‘Spectacular’
In the U.S., security has been tightened at US airports and transport systems ahead of the Fourth of July holiday and New York stepped up security at airports, rail stations, tourist spots and crowd centers after the botched attacks in Britain.
Additionally, ABCNews has learned that a secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, has warned that al Qaeda is planning a terror "spectacular" this summer.
However, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has recently played down the report that al Qaeda was planning a big attack on the United States, saying there was no credible information about an imminent threat. However, Chertoff added that "al Qaeda and its affiliates do intend to carry out further attacks against the United States and the West."
According to a seperate DEBKAfile Exclusive, US counter-terror authorities are fearing a major terror campaign in Europe, possibly even a 9/11-scale mega-attack in America.
So where is all of this heading? It is my view that we are experiencing the early tremors prior to the coming of Christ. There is little doubt that we are living in the last days as prophecied in the Bible and global terrorism is one of the signs that Christ's return is at the door. In this exciting new series, Jerry Robinson will be examining 10 signs that indicate that our world is being plunged headlong into a time prophecied about in the Bible.
Despite the fear and uncertainty that the world is experiencing, you can have perfect peace if you place your trust and faith in Jesus Christ.
