FBI Warns of Suicide Bombers in USA

FBI BULLETIN: LOOKOUT FOR SUICIDE BOMBERS INSIDE THE U.S. Thu May 20 2004 19:09:51 ET

Warns Officials To Look for People Wearing Bulky Jackets on Warm Days; Smell of Chemicals; Trailing Wires from Jackets Bombers May Disguise Selves As Pregnant Women

New York - The FBI has disseminated to 18,000 law enforcement agencies an intelligence bulletin advising police officials to be on the lookout for suicide bombers attempting to strike inside the US, TIME's Elaine Shannon reports today on TIME.com. The lightly classsified bulletin, headlined "Possible suicide bomber indicators," and circulated earlier today (May 20) via the FBO's secure Law Enforcement Online (LEO) Intranet, warns local badge-carriers to look for obvious signs of trouble - people wearing heavy, bulky jackets on warm days, smelling of chemicals, trailing wires from their jackets - and, as well, more subtle ones, such as tightly clenched fists. Someone who never shows his palms could be gripping a detonator rigged to go off when a button is released. "If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes," says a counter-terrorism official, TIME reports.

The FBI bulletin also notes that suicide bombers may disguise themselves in stolen military, police or firefighter's garb or as pregnant women, TIME reports.

The weather starts to break past 80 consistently, summer begins, and the FBI warns us to be alert for people wearing heavy jackets and coats!

We really have no chance, you know...

It will happen,it's only a matter of time.

Suicide bombers have free access to malls,theatres,athletic events,retaurants and all other types of public buildings.

These guys could do more damage than 9-11,without the dramatic effect.

Scattered bombings all across the US will instill more fear also.

If there could be a way to turn a profit, I'd even invest in them.

You're right. I can't imagine what it's like living in Israel - what they go thru almost every day.

Twelve years of wide-open massive migration under Clinton-Bush is coming home to roost.

Tell me why, almost 3 years after 9-11, we are still importing a hundred thousand new alien muslims per year.

Our political correctness will be America's downfall. Too bad, it would have been fairly easy to avoid the END.

Can you say Arabs begging to be put into internment camps for thier own protection? Because I think that would be the likely outcome.

"If you shoot him, you're still not safe because his hands relax and the bomb explodes,"

Great. So we should be alert for pregnant women trailing wires and smelling of chemicals. What should we then do, oh wise terror advisor?
