My Predictions

Will a terror attack be undertaken against the U.S. by the date of the 2009 inauguration

Current forecast: 28% chance 4%
Combining all predictions, the current forecast is that this is 28% likely to happen (down 4% in last 1 day)

Will there be an October, November, December or January "surprise"?

Will terrorists attempt to intimidate the new U.S. administration?

This market includes any attack on the U.S. Homeland or U.S. embassies overseas. An attack such as car bomb etc... which causes no fatalities would still count


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

How far does the attempt need to progress to settle this question as a "yes"? For example, what if something like this occurred? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_July_2005_London_bombings

Also, just to be clear, but would another incident like last week's attack on the US embassy in Yemen qualify?

If it occurred, would the threatened attack against the US embassy in Indonesia qualify even thought it is more Bali Bombers related than having anything to do with the new administration?
