Federal Agents Raid Suspected Terror Cell in Miami
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2109053
Officials Say Group Planned to Bomb the FBI Building in Miami and Sears Tower in Chicago
By PIERRE THOMAS
June 22, 2006 — ABC News has learned that federal agents, including the FBI, are launching a series of raids tonight targeting a suspected terror cell based in Miami. According to sources familiar with the investigation, the group allegedly planned to bomb the FBI building in Miami and the Sears Tower in Chicago.
The group has been under surveillance for some time and was infilitrated by a government informant who allegedly led them to believe he was an Islamic radical. The suspects are described as African Americans and at least one man of Caribbean descent.
Sources say the arrests reflect the government's concern about so-called "homegrown terrorists." It's a threat FBI Director Robert Mueller discussed during a recent speech in New York. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and the FBI are expected to hold a press conference about the arrests Friday morning.
CNN: might be a militia type group.
Hmmm..they're saying the people in custody aren't Islamic..
This will be interesting...
"Who else would want to blow up the Sears Tower? Disgruntled employees?"
Well, I had some issues with Sears after they tried to hit me with interest charges at six months on a "no interest, no payments due for 12 months" 42" LCD TV deal. I'm sure I'm not alone.
Wait a sec, there's a knock at my door...
LOL. Abscam to Amscay!

Wonder if it might be recruits from prisons.
Allah's all over it:
FBI stages terror raid in Miami
http://hotair.com/archives/the-blog/2006/06/22/breaking-fbi-stages-terror-raid-in-miami/
Just across on CNN. Early reports say the area’s flooded with agents http://cbs4.com/local/local_story_173185639.html . Six to eight suspects are thought to have been arrested, and they’re not believed to be Muslim. If that proves true, expect the lefties to jump all over this one. If not, not.
As always, standby for updates.
Update: CNN says no weapons or bomb-making materials have been found, but according to the link above, the FBI’s been planning the operation for four months. Word is it’s domestic terrorism, not a foreign plot.
CNN is killing Fox on this, by the way. Nothing at all on FNC.
Update: The U.S. Attorney’s Office says there’ll be a press conference tomorrow http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-0622terrorismmiami,0,2204576.story?coll=sfla-home-headlines , but Robert Mueller will be on Larry King tonight at 9.
"The group has been under surveillance for some time and was infilitrated by a government informant who allegedly led them to believe he was an Islamic radical".
yep
CNN covering this live now..
Well, here's hoping, eh CNN?
The drive by media won't be able to cover it up once they ask for copies of the Koran.
Weren't the Lackawanna Six Dem voters?
Terror Suspects Arrested In Miami Housing Project
Reports Indicate 6-8 Suspects Were Detained
They Are Not Believed To Be Islamic (Hmmm, odd)
http://cbs4.com/local/local_story_173185639.html
Oh, with video.
Nation of Islam?
If these are not Islamics, this would be an interesting choice for an infiltrator (may God bless him for his work).
Really.
I can only tolerate CNN for about 10 more seconds before I have to get out the duct tape.
