Boston receives threat from Dirty Bomb: ABC radio news

It is not unreasonable to think this may be a feint
to draw resources away from DC.

But perhaps certain ingredients are already available in MA....OTOH, they've already shown themselves willing to commit suicide, what's the difference if they get sick from radiation first?

[rwfromkansas]

if I was in the dorm room, I could, but this computer does not have the software to do so.

will monitor the station's site.

[hoosiermama]

They certainly don't seem to have problems recruiting for suicide missions....It pays the family well.

395 would bring them close to the sub pens in Groton...

[nicmarlo]

worth paying attention to, that's for sure.

[rwfromkansas]

It is likely they are just PART of the group.

Seems strange to me to cross from Mexico if your target is Boston.

Unless of course the men came in from Mexico, and the nuclear material came in at Boston or NY Harbor.

[Fitzcarraldo]

could be chinese muslim. who knows

Aren't some Chinese nuclear test and disposal sites located in western China?

Just heard Hugh Hewitt address this on his show - he thinks the story is bogus, "too neat for the anti-immigrant, er, anti-illegal alien people". Its a conspiracy!

Ditto that!

I saw Cheney sitting next to Bush and Laura at whatever the event was tonight (sorry, I really don't know what the singing and fireworks, etc. were about).

"And so will hillary."

On her way out!! :)

"It just seems like a long way to go from Mexico to Boston with nuclear stuff!!"

Another freeper here mentioned that OBL doesn't like MA because of homosexual marriage and mentioned it in his last message.

[Vinomori]

Why would someone issue a threat? Did they issue a threat before 911? And why is a threat big news? If we make every threat big news all the bad guys have to do is issue threats to generate terror.

[CELTICGAEL (Celt)]

Yes it is for sure.

[Lovebloggers]

Absolutely - you are right. Ever go on that base? There is a bunker with a machine gun that your vehicle drives toward as you enter.

They don't mess around.

[EternalVigilance]

If and when a detonation of this sort or worse happens in an American city, within one hour this location should be vaporized and made unihabitable for a thousand years:

[nicmarlo]

Seems fishy to me.

The uncorroborated plan does seem fishy; OTOH, something else might be up, altogether....and they're just not disagreeing with what the rumors are. Who knows?

[rwfromkansas]

yep
