IBRYMB! I thought Homeland Security said the threat was not credible. I'm shocked!
Somebody call Begala! He's gonna need to be sedated.
From Columbus News:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The F-B-I is now quizzing someone who may be responsible for those online threats toward football stadiums.
A law enforcement official says a young adult in Milwaukee is suspected of being behind the claims that dirty bombs would go off during seven N-F-L games this weekend. The source says this person doesn't appear to have any ties to terror groups.
The threats turned up a week ago on the Web, and officials have said they didn't seem credible. There was also no intelligence backing up such claims. Still, the Department of Homeland Security opted to alert the N-F-L and the stadium owners, just to be on the safe side. But the department is urging fans to go ahead and attend the games.

Head on, apply directly to the forehead.

FBI interviewing Milwaukee resident in football stadium threat

WASHINGTON - The FBI was interviewing a Milwaukee resident Thursday believed to be responsible for posting what officials think are phony threats on a Web site about radiological dirty bomb attacks on NFL football stadiums this weekend.
The person, described only as a young adult, did not appear to have any ties to terrorist groups, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing.
The threats, which were posted on the Internet site a week ago, were not seen as credible and were not backed up by intelligence indicating such an attack might be imminent, according to the FBI and the Homeland Security Department.
Homeland Security on Wednesday alerted the NFL and authorities in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland, saying they were acting "out of an abundance of caution."
Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke on Wednesday said the threat was viewed "with strong skepticism." Still, the agency contacted the National Football League, local authorities and stadium owners. Also notified was the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
The online posting, dated Oct. 12, was part of an ongoing conversation titled "New Attack on America Be Afraid." It appeared on a Web site, "The Friend Society," that links to various online forums and off-color cartoons. The site's Internet provider declined to comment.
The message said trucks would deliver radiological bombs to stadiums in New York, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Houston, Oakland and Cleveland - and that al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden would claim responsibility.
A dirty bomb would use conventional explosives to scatter radioactive material. Such a blast probably would not cause many deaths, experts say, but the fear of contamination could spark panic. Land and buildings hit with radioactive particles might be unusable for years.
Authorities traced the site's Internet provider to Voxel Dot Net Inc., which has support and engineering staff based in Troy, N.Y. A man who answered the phone at Voxel Wednesday declined to give his name, said he was unaware of the posted threat and refused further comment.
The author of the threats, posted at 9:31 p.m. EDT on Oct. 12, identified himself online as "javness."
