Jihadists urged to attack Alaska pipeline.

A recent posting on a Web site purportedly affiliated with al-Qaida urges attacks against the trans-Alaska oil pipeline and Valdez tanker dock, calling on jihadists to either shower the pipe with bullets or hide and detonate explosives along its length.

The unknown author encourages small cells of four or five mujahedeen, or Muslim guerrillas, living in the United States or in Canada or Mexico to mount the attacks.

Yeah, this is a good plan. Let me tell you that the pipeline is built in one of the most inhospitable environments on earth! Beyond that the only communities close by are almost exclusively made up of indigenous natives. The idea that anybody of Arabian descent could get anywhere even close to the pipeline without being detected, eaten, or freezing solid is laughable at best.

And even if, by some miracle, these boneheads could blow up a portion of the pipe, there are multiple safeguards in place that would immediately shut off the flow and minimize the impact. It is a dumb plan which I give very little credence to.
