The statement posted on the internet warns: dirty bombs, delivered in trucks, will be detonated outside stadiums at NFL games.
But Homeland Security Department officials say the threat is not credible.
The posting pointed to seven stadiums that would be attacked on October 22nd, the final day of the Muslim holy month, Ramadan.
The warning predicted al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden would claim responsibility for the attack.
Then, the threat goes on to say, in the aftermath of the attack, civil wars would erupt across the world and global economies will screech to a halt.
