WASHINGTON - U.S. and foreign intelligence officials tell NBC News they have credible intelligence that insurgents in Iraq have active plans to launch a massive offensive early next week — timed to coincide with the possible draft of an Iraqi constitution on Monday.

According to the officials, terrorists would launch as many as 20 simultaneous suicide bombings, mostly in Baghdad. The plans also include heavy rocket and mortar attacks against U.S. and Iraqi government offices inside Baghdad’s Green Zone, against the U.S. military at Baghdad International Airport, and at Abu Ghraib prison.

U.S. officials say the offensive was planned for early this week but was put on hold when Iraqis failed to come up with a draft constitution

4. Its bullshit

Most of the time when these "turrists" attack is when they least expect it so they could be in iraq for the next 15 years and they could be attacked at any moment thats what you get when you create the perfect conditions for lawless-ness then applaud it on TV which is what that old bag of bones Don Rummy did.

7. This is pretty similar to stories that circulated prior to the elections

in January, which proved to be exaggerated.

Strange that the anonymous "officials" should have such details, down to the number of bombings and the actual targets.

The biggest difference in the reports seems to be that in January the stories were backed up by quotes from Zarqawi, whereas this time they were pre-empted by Sy Hersh. That could be a significant difference!
