my family as well as

terror groups such as Al Qaida might
try to attack Jewish and Israeli tar-
gets during the holidays and also on
Sept. 11, the anniversary of the Al
Qaida attack on New York's World
Trade Center.
The warning stressed that Iran is
still planning to avenge the death
of Hezbollah terror chief Imad
Mughniyeh, who was killed in a car
bombing attack in Damascus in 2008
as well as the deaths of several of its
difficult.
"My preference is to spend the holi-
day with my family, but as I get older
and as my school schedule becomes
more demanding, it has become
less of a realistic thing for me," said
Nathanson of Farmington Hills, who
also belongs to B'nai Moshe. "I wasn't

on walking to shul both days of the
