In a recent discussion on The Shawn Ryan Show, former CIA investigator Sarah Adams warned of a potentially devastating attack that al-Qaeda terrorists could be planning on U.S. soil.
The interview provides important insights into possible developments. Al-Qaeda sleeper cells activated after the New Orleans terrorist attack may be linked to a suspected vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED). It was allegedly placed in the back of a rented Tesla Cybertruck that exploded just hours later outside Trump’s Las Vegas hotel.
Ryan asked Adams:
“I just want to clarify something. Are you 100 percent certain that there are more than 1,000 al-Qaeda-trained fighters within U.S. borders?”
Adams responded:
Al-Qaeda claims to have trained and deployed a thousand fighters for this attack. I believe there are actually more than a thousand al-Qaeda members in the United States. However, for a planned attack, this number is based on information provided by Al Qaeda itself. Of course, they may be exaggerated. But considering the Hamas attack, which involved about 1,400 members, this number does not seem improbable, because it is in the range of what Al Qaeda has already achieved in the initial waves of attacks.
Frightening information to hear. Former CIA targeting officer Sarah Adams is warning of an IRGC U.S. Homeland attack in retaliation for Soleimani.

The terrorist attack on Bourbon Street and the postponement of the Sugar Bowl at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans suggest that something bigger is in the works.
“There is more than enough going on – and if there is an attack on our homeland from Afghanistan, the resulting morale damage will be catastrophic. Those who served deserve better than this,” Adams wrote just hours before the attack on Tuesday night;
Meanwhile, General Mike Flynn, who served as national security adviser in the Trump 1.0 administration, wrote on X:
The idiots in the FBI don’t want you to call this a terrorist attack. That is what it is…now that we’re past that, the most important aspects are what is not currently being reported.
The White House is telling the Mayor of NOLA to stop calling it a terrorist attack after the… https://t.co/fvltmvGPZf

Again, it doesn’t matter what you call it. What matters is that the intelligence was identified in advance within the agency or department and not acted upon. A failure of the decision-makers, not a failure of the intelligence community.
Prevention is what we’re trying to do, that’s the hard work of intelligence. If you don’t do that, if you don’t follow every lead, you end up in reactive mode. This is a tragic situation that we find ourselves in on what should be a joyous occasion. My family members were walking down Bourbon Street at midnight last night.
The other big question is what happens next and whether those with knowledge will quickly share the information to prevent another attack.
Recent intelligence suggests that trained al-Qaeda terrorists have already entered the United States through the southern border that the Biden-Harris administration has opened, according to a federal source familiar with counterterrorism. The source warned that this increases the risk of more attacks.
The Biden-Harris administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan led to a global jihadist push by al-Qaeda (see: “Al-Qaeda Wins – A New Caliphate in Syria”). One wonders whether these terrorist cells allegedly operating in the US would still be active if Kamala Harris had won the presidential election…
Anyway… Could the Bourbon Street massacre be a prelude to the coordinated attack on al-Qaeda’s homeland that Sarah describes? Or are the public preemptive warnings an attempt to stoke fears of more aggressive domestic surveillance (and secure DOGE funding)?
