Threat Levels

MEMRI translates a threat, apparently from an Al Qaeda-linked group, of a terror attack within the next week or so. (It says “ten days or less,” and was posted February 24, so the threat would extend to about March 6) The website cited by MEMRI is registered to an address in Paris, France. (Link via NRO’s James Robbins). Is it serious? This is always unknowable until it’s too late. Meanwhile, the Department of Easily Mocked Initiatives has lowered the threat level from ‘Orange’ to ‘Yellow’; presumably, DEMI has decided that this particular threat is not worth losing sleep over.
