DHS Warns Al-CIAda Is Planning Large-Scale Wildfire Attacks!!!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Homeland Security
and fusion centers around the country are warning that terrorists are
interested in using fire as a weapon, particularly in the form of
large-scale wildfires near densely populated areas. ~ Alexander Higgins – See PDF 

A newly released DHS report
states that for more than a decade

“international terrorist groups and
associated individuals have expressed interest in using fire as a tactic
against the Homeland to cause economic loss, fear, resource depletion,
and humanitarian hardship.” 

The report notes that the tactical use of
fire as a weapon is “inexpensive and requires limited technical
expertise” and “materials needed to use fire as a weapon are common and
easily obtainable, making preoperational activities difficult to detect
and plot disruption and apprehension challenging for law enforcement.”

Though law enforcement has been warning of the use of fire as a weapon for years, the recent fervor over wildfires as a potential terrorist tactic is largely due to Inspire magazine, a slick online publication that is reportedly produced by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. 

The most recent issue of Inspire
featured multiple articles on the use of wildfire as a weapon in jihad,
including a complete guide on creating an “ember bomb” that would
likely have a “high failure rate when manufactured and utilized by
untrained or inexperienced personnel” according to the DHS report

The FBI has also separately warned
about the latest issue of Inspire, which “instructs the audience to
look for two necessary factors for a successful wildfire, which are
dryness and high winds to help spread the fire.

Specific fire conditions
that are likely to spread fire quickly are Pinewood, crownfires (where
the trees and branches are close together), and steep slope fires (fire
spreads faster going up a slope).”  California and Montana are
specifically listed in Inspire as potential targets.

How do you stop a person that wants to carry out a wildfire attack? The DHS report
includes a list of potentially suspicious activities associated with
the terrorist wildfire threat. 

Are you conducting “unusual research”
related to weather, dry seasons, winds, or types of forests and
vegetation? 

Have you done online research related to historical cases
of arson? 

Or maybe you “conduct reconnaissance” in “remote, wooded
areas, especially at night”? 

According to DHS, you might be a part of a
terrorist plot to start wildfires all around the country.  Of course,
you could just be interested in nature, studying for a criminology exam
or lost in a rural area at night. 

The report makes it clear that many
of the suspicious activities listed are “constitutionally protected” and
should not be considered alone as sufficient cause for investigation. 

However, the list ends with an ominous warning:

“Preoperational
activities of violent extremists in the Homeland might be difficult to
detect. Agencies with local or state oversight should monitor events
that might be linked to a larger terrorist operation. Suspicious
activities should be reported and shared immediately.”
