Al Qaeda is coming to your neighborhood

Al Qaeda has decided if it wants to get a government worker's attention, threaten to kill him.

The fall issue of Inspire, al Qaeda's glossy 74-page magazine of jihad, recommends that U.S. domestic terrorists take their holy war to the belly of the inner Beltway. "A random hit at a crowded restaurant in Washington, D.C., at lunch hour might end up knocking out a few government employees," Yahya Ibrahim writes in a section headlined, "Tips for Our Brothers in the United Snakes of America." He says, "Targeting such employees is paramount and the location would also give the operation additional media attention."

Mr. Ibrahim also contributed an article headlined "The Ultimate Mowing Machine," in which he recommends outfitting a four-wheel-drive pickup truck, "the stronger the better," with steel blades on the front "at torso level" to drive into random crowds. If the attack could be made in a densely packed pedestrian zone, he writes, "that would be fabulous."

These articles show a new and sophisticated evolution in al Qaeda's thinking.
