ANOTHER WARNING – AT 11:46 A.M. ET:  I'm confused.  Didn't Field Marshal of the United States Barack Obama tell us that the war on terror was over?  I'm sure I heard it.  Maybe he was misinformed.  From Reuters:

Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri called on young Muslim men in the United States and other Western countries to carry out attacks inside there and urged greater unity between militants.

"I call on all Muslims who can harm the countries of the crusader coalition not to hesitate. We must now focus on moving the war to the heart of the homes and cities of the crusader West and specifically America," he said in an audio recording posted online on Sunday, referring to nations making up the Western-led coalition in Iraq and Syria.

He suggested Muslim youth in the West take the Tsarnaev and Kouachi brothers, who carried out the Boston marathon bombings and Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris respectively, and others as examples to follow.

It was not clear when the recording was made but references to former Taliban leader Mullah Mohamed Omar as being alive suggest it is at least two months old. Omar's death was announced by Afghanistan's government in late July.

Zawahri reiterated his position on Islamic State, repeating what he said in a recording posted on Wednesday - that he viewed the group's claim to be a caliphate as illegitimate but would join them in fighting Western and secular forces in Iraq and Syria.

COMMENT:  Terror is very much with us, and the threat may well have grown since 9-11.  Obama flashes weakness.  Bin Laden said that, in the Mideast, it's the strong horse that people follow.  We're now the weak horse.
