Boston receives threat from Dirty Bomb: ABC radio news

[1Old Pro]

Just heard, apparently police are out in force after hearing of the threat

[The Mower]

I think it was 01/16, but I may be off a few...

[tfecw]

hmm i seem to remember the reason being something other then honor as well. Something about every American having a gun and not wanting to fight house to house with citizens, let alone the American military.

[TFine80]

Wouldn't that have been January 16th?

Same announced on CNN, though they don't know if the source is credible. They said there were a couple 'chemists" that crossed with others.

[SkyRat]

If they have pictures, why are we not seeing those pictures on TV?

Good question.

[TBall]

I did some fast math and got 1/22, but I'm probably wrong.

[Rushmore Rocks]

Thanks..........couldn't find my calculator.

Still pretty close.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Ted Kennedy

Who could miss him!

It's now 5:22 PM EST in Boston and I'm not radioactive as a slight snowfall haunts the night.

British authorities have said they believe suspected Islamic terrorists were harvesting radioactive materials from household smoke detectors.

Time magazine reported that following the arrest of a suspected terror cell in August, British police discovered large amounts of smoke detectors that contain small amounts of americium-241. They believe the group planned to use the radioactive element to construct a primitive dirty bomb.

One source of rad mat. Many others too. Including some bright kid and his collection of Coleman Mantles.

I certainly hope the tv networks will decide to cover this press conf.

[WestCoastGal]

Has anyone seen what date this bunch came across?

I've seen several posts about the guy who ratted on them from the Mexico side, left pictures of them for the FBI etc. but not when they came across saying nuclear material would follow them.

[S.O.L.]

They can't hit Boston. Boston is a blue state.

[The Mower]

That is the most revolting picture ever. He really needs some help. Maybe Arnold could be his person trainer and whip him into shape.

[Dave S]

So much for I won't attack states that don't vote for Bush.

I was thinking the same thing. Apparently Al Qaeda cant tell its blue states from red states.

[The Winnebago]

The FBI might have heard "chatter" and decided to make this public to see what affect it would have.
