DENVER -- The massive FBI probe that triggered raids in New York City is focused on a potential Denver-based terror cell plotting another attack on the scale of 9/11, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday.
CALL7 Investigators have learned that the Governor's office of Homeland Security has been involved in the investigation and believe there is no imminent threat in Colorado.

A law enforcement source told CALL7 Investigators that the investigation has been going on for two weeks.
A Denver area man, detained and then released Monday in connection with the New York City terrorism raids, had recently traveled to Pakistan before he showed up in New York last Thursday with bomb-making documents(snip)
Hundreds of FBI agents are "on the ground in Colorado, conducting round-the-clock surveillance on five suspects," the Daily News reported.

FBI spokesman James Margolin confirmed that authorities executed search warrants at multiple locations in connection with what he called an "ongoing investigation." He would not elaborate.
The execution of search warrants came after days of surveillance.
Bomb-making materials were not found during the New York City raids, according to ABC and additional searches were under way in Colorado.
The Denver area man (snip), was allowed to return to Colorado and is under close surveillance, ABC reported.
The FBI and Homeland Security officials warned local law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for materials that could be used to make explosives, 7News learned. (snip)
"The FBI is seriously spooked about these guys planning another 9/11," a former senior counter terrorism official told the Daily News. "This is not some ... FBI informant-driven case. This is the real thing."
(snip)
The New York Times reported that the man moved to Colorado about eight months ago. The Times reported he is of Afghan descent.

Ping the Coloradans. Terrorist cell in Denver.
Something has the FBI very spooked...
Read the entire article. This sounds pretty scary.
Those wacky Amish! Hey Teddy, thank you for importing millions of maggots who hate us, all for the votes.
Afghanis going to and from Pakistan. Wonder who they might be involved with?
“Ping the Coloradans. Terrorist cell in Denver....”
Hey, Denver is a “sanctuary city”...and is populated by dim-bulb-crats and associated low lifes (not most, thankfully, but lots). Don’t bring none of dat FBI stuff here. We just want to give our money to the illegals for their health care, and let our wives be run into by drunk, insurance-less folks.
Maybe they were wait-listed for Obama’s White House Ramadan dinner.
So true. Can't afford to fix my car from the last hit and run. Can't afford to claim another one against my insurance.
Want to hear an interesting factoid that I heard yesterday?
Each year we have 1.7 million new immigrants legally enter this nation.
Fully 50% of them are Muslim. Good grief!
Were they planning to blow up the Eisenhower Tunnel?
From what the article said they were planning a 9-11 type attack, probably not here.
FYI
I have a friend who is from the Phillipines, now a naturalized citizen. She’s tried to get a green card for her minor children for years, and finally gave up. She needed to stay here to work to support the family. Now they are grown and there is no way they will ever be able to come over.
Yeah, right.
I rented a movie the other night call “The Line” and the plot in that movie is something to think about. The Taliban made a deal with one of the Mexican border cartels. The deal involved these two Afghan opium farmers selling the cartel opium at a heavily discounted rate in exchange for access for the drug pipeline into the US. It had Andy Garcia and Ray Liotta in it. Pretty good under the radar film.
Yes, those who go through ‘the process’ have to put up with a lot. It’s a shame.
I just tried to find a link to the factoid I mentioned to you in my prior post. When I did, I found those figures were referring to Europe.
When I first heard them, they sounded as if directed at the U.S. Sorry about the mistake.
This is a C-Span Q&A session with Brian Lamb and the author.

Gee, I wonder if he knows he's being watched.
I have always thought about a situation like that, considering we are at the end of the illegal immigrant pipeline.
Thanks, I’ll check that out.
