Not good news for those of you living in Houston ... not that I give all that much credence to stratfor, but there is a certain ghastly logic in their picking Houston as the site of a dirty bomb attack sometime before the election. I wonder just what proportion of the nation's oil refineries are located there?

From their Terrorism Intelligence Weekly:

Although Stratfor believes that strikes could be carried out
against multiple targets of opportunity, certain factors --
including time and al Qaeda's targeting criteria -- lead us to
conclude that Houston, Texas, is near the top of the list. Not
only is it home to much of the nation's oil infrastructure, which
carries significant economic implications, but it also is a city
of 5 million people -- and the home of former President George
H.W. Bush. A strike here would lend a personal nature to the
attack that would send a clear message across the desk of
President George W. Bush.
