I just read something similar saying Al-Queda has never been closer to attacking us. Apparently, they're very close to obtaining nuclear weapons. Personally, I think it's all a load of bullshit to scare the American public. Remember the 5 colors of emergency? Yeah, that thing fluxuated all the time yet nothing happened. This wouldn't be the first time our government used scare tactics, either. They're very good at it. Just watch the news and you'll see what I mean.
