00:00:06 00:00:09 The department of homeland security has confirmed that a terrorist attack,
00:00:09 00:00:11 on the nation's capitol was cancelled,
00:00:12 00:00:15 because it posed too great a risk to twilight author, Stephanie Meyer.
00:00:15 00:00:17 Law enforcement officials were alerted to the plot,
00:00:18 00:00:22 where terrorist chatter was detected by NSA intercepts.
00:00:22 00:00:23 We are cancelling the operation.
00:00:23 00:00:25 I don't understand. We have been planning this for months.
00:00:26 00:00:29 We received information that Stephanie Meyer will be making an appearance
00:00:29 00:00:33 Praise Allah! Will Robert Pattinson or Kristen Stewart be there?
00:00:33 00:00:36 Maybe, I'm not sure, but there's a big line already.
00:00:36 00:00:38 We have to get over there!
00:00:38 00:00:41 We're joined now by terrorist and expert, Omar Al-Farouq of Al-Qaeda.
00:00:41 00:00:42 Thank you for being here sir.
00:00:42 00:00:46 It sounds like the US barely avoided a major attack here, is that right?
00:00:46 00:00:49 Yes, for the moment, Al-Qaeda simply could not risk killing the woman
00:00:49 00:00:51 who captured the alienation and special attention
00:00:52 00:00:54 to adolescence so beautifully, in her book series.
00:00:54 00:00:56 How deadly could this attack have been?
00:00:56 00:00:58 We're hearing estimates of five to ten thousand lives.
00:00:58 00:01:00 Yes, the devastation would have been shocking.
00:01:00 00:01:05 Worse than when Sam transformed into his wolf self and slashed his beloved Emily
00:01:05 00:01:06 with his magnificent claw.
00:01:07 00:01:09 The CIA has information that dealing with the cancellation of this attack
00:01:09 00:01:13 caused disputes within Al-Qaeda's top ranks. Is this true?
00:01:13 00:01:15 There have always been fashions. Certain people believe,
00:01:15 00:01:18 that Stephanie Meyer should be stoned to death,
00:01:18 00:01:20 for accompanying Jacob Black with so much heart ache.
00:01:21 00:01:23 Osama Bin Laden himself was a member of team Jacob.
00:01:23 00:01:25 All right, that would explain the photos we acquired last year.
00:01:26 00:01:29 Someone had suggested that it was related to the twilight series
00:01:29 00:01:30 but it hardly seemed possible at the time.
00:01:31 00:01:33 Why? The themes are universal.
00:01:33 00:01:36 Perhaps, but still, I mean, intelligence. officials thought...
00:01:37 00:01:39 That the books are for kids. This is what you're thinking, yes?
00:01:39 00:01:42 That is the height of arrogance. You know, if you give them a chance,
00:01:43 00:01:45 you will be hooked, or my mother is a Jew.
00:01:45 00:01:49 All right, well the last novel of the twilight series was published in 2008.
00:01:49 00:01:52 Why does Al-Qaeda care if Mrs. Meyers is alive or not?
00:01:52 00:01:56 Well, that is, wow! I don't believe that that thought is streaming from your lips.
00:01:56 00:01:59 You know, she could always use the work of midnight sun,
00:01:59 00:02:02 or write another book from a different point of view.
00:02:02 00:02:04 All right, earlier today, Al-Qaeda released a video
00:02:04 00:02:06 claiming responsibility for the failed attack,
00:02:06 00:02:11 as well as another that seems to be a shot for shot remake of the scene from new moon.
00:02:14 00:02:17 Yes, that was Al-Qaeda's re-imagining of the movie.
00:02:18 00:02:22 Chris Weitz who directed the original should be sliced from top to belly
00:02:22 00:02:25 and strung from a tree, for what he did to that glorious book.
00:02:25 00:02:28 That's all the time we have, Mr. Al-Farouq. Thank you for being with us today.
00:02:29 00:02:32 And now, breaking news, the hard-drive containing Shakira's voice,
