Australian Cricket Team; Al Qaeda Plot?

Are US sports teams safe? The reason I ask is that an Australian cricket team was to be attacked by international terrorists from Al Qaeda. Luckily intelligence officials uncovered a plot. However since this is now known it makes sense that this is probably one of the international terrorist targets and tactics. It stands to reason that Al Qaeda would attack a famous sports team because that would stand as bold message and strike fear into society.

The plot was to include sarin gas, the same type of gas that was part of Saddam Hussein's arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. This is quite troubling that Al Qaeda would consider this, but it should not surprise anyone because Al Qaeda is always looking for opportunistic soft targets that will create the most media attention for them and their so-called cause.

If the Australian cricket team was the target of a sinister plot by Al Qaeda what else should we be looking out for? Is Al Qaeda considering going after a United States sports team? How about one of our allies or one of their soccer or rugby teams? Is Al Qaeda planning to stage an attack at the Chinese Olympics? We need to win the war on terror and delete Al Qaeda from the present time period. That would be the best for all concerned. Please consider all this in 2006.
